Chicken Run is a farm-themed online casino slot machine designed by Microgaming. The game takes players on an egg-laying adventure with Ginger, Rocky, and their friends as they try to escape from the evil Mr. Tweedy’s poultry processing plant.
Design and Theme
The Chicken Run slot features vibrant cartoon-style graphics with colorful characters and backgrounds inspired by the popular Aardman Animations film of the same name. The game is set on a farm where players will find Ginger, Rocky, and other beloved Chicken Run characters from the movie as high-paying symbols. Other icons include eggs, chickens, hens, roosters, cows, pigs, shepherds, sheep, tractors, fences, and gates.
The overall design of Chicken Run slots is reminiscent of classic Microgaming games with a touch of modernity in terms of graphics quality and user interface experience.
Symbols and Payouts
High-paying symbols on the reels include Ginger, Rocky, and other main characters from the movie. These are followed by lower-paying icons such as eggs, chickens, hens, roosters, cows, pigs, shepherds, sheep, tractors, fences, and gates.
The highest paying symbol is Ginger with up to 500 times bet per line win while Rocky offers up to 2500 coins for five of a kind. The Wild Rooster replaces other icons on the reels (excluding scatters) during gameplay providing players more winning combinations.
The Egg Scatter awards free spins when at least three land anywhere on the reels giving lucky winners additional chances to score big prizes.
Bonuses and Special Features
In addition to wilds, Chicken Run slots come with various special features:
- Scatters: The Egg scatter pays out regardless of position but also activates free spins. Three or more trigger 8-12 rounds during which the Wild Rooster substitutes for other high paying icons increasing chances of a win.
- Free Spins: The number of free games awarded increases with more scatters. During this feature, only the top three wins on each spin are paid while wilds replace any character apart from eggs to form new combinations.
Players can expect both 3-reel and 5-reel classic video slots in a single game offering varied gameplay experience due to its non-progressive jackpot.
Paylines & RTP
Chicken Run comes with multiple betting lines – five for the five-reel version. The player’s total stake is set by choosing coin denomination (0,01, 0.02 or 0.10), number of coins played per spin from one to ten, and selecting a payline between one and five.
The game offers an average return-to-player rate of around 95% – slightly lower than some other popular slot machine games in the industry but providing consistent medium volatility gameplay suitable for casual players seeking steady wins without extremely high risk or frequent large jackpots.
Chicken Run casino slot has its own dedicated mobile version compatible with Apple iOS and Android operating systems that allows access to all features of the PC game.
