Chicken Run is a farm-themed online casino slot developed by Novomatic, one of the leading software providers in the industry. The game takes players on an entertaining journey through a picturesque countryside setting, filled with friendly hens and other farm animals. As its title suggests, the main objective of Chicken Run Chicken Run is to guide our feathered friends as they try to escape from their nemesis, Colonel Pierce.
Design
Upon launching the game, players are greeted by an 5×3 grid layout featuring colorful symbols and graphics that evoke a sense of rural charm. The background image showcases a beautiful farm setting with rolling hills and trees, while the foreground features a small farmhouse surrounded by fluttering chickens. The reels themselves contain various symbols inspired by farm life, including hens in different poses, farmer’s tools, eggs, and even Colonel Pierce.
Symbols
The slot game features 11 regular symbols, which are divided into two categories: low-paying symbols and high-paying ones. Low-paying symbols include the Ace (A), King (K), Queen (Q), Jack (J) and 10. Each of these cards has a different design but retains their classic look.
High-paying symbols depict farm animals, such as hens in various poses, including one holding an egg, while others show cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese. The Colonel Pierce character is also present on the reels, offering smaller payouts when landing multiple times.
Payouts
Chicken Run offers a medium to high variance payout structure, with both small and large wins possible during gameplay sessions. Wins are calculated based on payline combinations, from left to right, starting from either reel one or five, depending on the specific combination. The payouts for each symbol can be seen in the game’s rules section.
Wilds
The Wild symbol is represented by a picture of Colonel Pierce’s Farmhouse. This symbol replaces all other symbols except the Scatter to create new winning combinations and complete paylines.
Scatters
The Egg (E) symbol serves as the Scatter, which also triggers bonus rounds when at least three Scatters appear anywhere on reels 1, 2, or 3 simultaneously. When four of these Scattered Eggs land in a single spin, players are granted access to Free Spins mode, and if they collect five, it is possible for them to reach the ‘Maximum’ reward within their very first free spins.
Bonus Features
When at least three Scatter symbols appear on reels 1-3 during normal gameplay or when one appears after an initial failure (during standard play but not wilds), a maximum of nine Free Spins will be granted. Each egg collected earns up to five additional rounds per landing, totaling no more than eleven total games played – and as long those happenings aren’t part of ‘Multi-Reel Bonus’ features activated by different Scatters occurring elsewhere.
However there also seems another sort if feature , this time when three Egg (Scatter) appear it will bring Free Spins round to the player but even more importantly with every spin made during that extra bonus, a new egg will be added on fifth reel; these additional Eggs do nothing except stack in same column so at most you can have five stacked eggs placed within fifth reels column during free spins gameplay.
Additionally there seems another option available as well: this one takes place when ‘Multi-Reel Bonus’ isn’t activated however three of the highest paying symbols : ducks geese turkeys or even a pair appearing anywhere else then Colonel Pierce – in any other combination besides those above.
