Theme and Design
The theme of the "Chicken Run" game is centered around farmyard animals, specifically chickens, attempting to escape from a menacing farmer’s clutches. The game’s design reflects this theme with cartoonish 3D graphics and colorful visuals. Players are transported to a rustic farm setting, complete with rolling hills, barns, and farm equipment. The background of the game changes as players progress through levels, adding visual Chicken Run demo variety to the gameplay experience.
Symbols
The game features various symbols that contribute to its theme. These include:
- Low-value symbols: 10-A (red and blue versions)
- Mid-value symbols:
- Clucking Hen
- Hatching Chick
- Runaway Chicken
- High-value symbol: Farmer with pitchfork
- Scatter Symbol: Barn
The farmer’s pitchfork is a unique addition, as it not only serves as the game’s highest-paying symbol but also has a special role in triggering bonus features.
Payouts
Each of the symbols mentioned above has its own payout structure. The low-value 10-A symbols offer smaller wins for combinations of three or more, while mid-value chicken-themed symbols award slightly higher payouts. The Farmer with Pitchfork is the highest-paying symbol, offering up to 500x the player’s bet per line.
Wilds
The Clucking Hen serves as a wild symbol in this game, substituting for all other symbols (except scatter) to form winning combinations. It appears on reels 1-5 and can be combined with scatters or farmer’s pitchfork to trigger bonus features.
Scatters
The Barn acts as the game’s scatter symbol. When three or more appear anywhere on the reels, they activate a free spins feature called "Fowl Frenzy" (explained in detail below).
Bonus Features: Free Spins and Bonus Rounds
Upon activation of the "Fowl Frenzy" free spins mode via scatters, players can earn up to 20 free spins. During this feature, Clucking Hens transform into wilds on reels 1-5, significantly increasing winning potential.
Additionally, if two or more Farmer with Pitchfork symbols appear in a single spin (excluding the case of three farmer’s pitchfork and barn), it triggers "Chicken Run" – a bonus round that challenges players to guide five chicken characters through an obstacle course to escape from the farmer. The player must collect power-ups while navigating around falling objects, culminating in either successful or unsuccessful chicken escapes.
Free Spins
As mentioned earlier, free spins are triggered by three or more Barn scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. During this feature:
- Reels 1-5 will have Clucking Hens transform into wilds.
- All payouts are doubled during free spins rounds.
Players can earn up to 20 free spins and retrigger the bonus at any time, offering ample opportunities for significant winnings.
Return to Player (RTP)
The Return-to-Player percentage for "Chicken Run" is not explicitly stated in our research. However, based on general trends within slot games from its developers, we can assume a medium to high RTP value, around 95% and higher.
Volatility
Given the presence of various bonus features, free spins modes with increased winning potential, and substantial jackpot opportunities (potentially over x500), "Chicken Run" likely falls under the realm of medium-volatility games. Players will experience frequent wins but not excessively large payouts in most instances; occasionally, however, these could reach or surpass larger sums.
Betting Range
To cater to a wide range of players’ budgets and preferences, this game offers an adjustable betting system ranging from 0.10 (minimum bet) up to an unspecified maximum amount per spin. Since slot games can vary significantly in terms of their minimum and maximum stake options based on the jurisdiction they operate within, we recommend checking with local regulatory bodies or directly through the gaming platform for precise information.
Max Win
Although the max potential win is not explicitly detailed by its developers (which would be around x5000), a 5-of-a-kind combination featuring the Farmer’s Pitchfork would theoretically achieve a significant outcome of approximately $10,000 and up to fifty thousand dollars based on our estimations considering standard RTP rates for such games.
