The Chicken Run slot machine is a video game designed by NetEnt, one of the leading suppliers of gaming software for the online gambling industry. The game is based on the popular animated movie "Chicken Run," which was released in 2000 and became a classic comedy film.
Theme and Design
Upon opening the game, players are transported to a bustling farm where chickens are trying to escape their oppressive farmer, Gordon Freemantle. The theme of the game revolves around these Chicken Run lovable characters as they try to outsmart their captor. The design is bright and colorful, with vibrant graphics and lively animations that bring the world of Chicken Run to life.
Symbols
The symbols used in the game are carefully chosen to reflect the film’s story and characters. Players will encounter a variety of chicken breeds, each with its unique appearance and characteristics. Some of these birds include:
- Ginger, the hero of the movie
- The Farmer’s wife, who helps the chickens escape
- The hatching chick
- A collection of eggs
Payouts
The payouts in Chicken Run are decent but not particularly generous compared to other slots on the market. For a five-reel slot with 20 paylines, players can expect winning combinations that range from two matching symbols to several specific combinations.
Here’s an example of some potential wins:
- Two Ginger birds: 2x multiplier
- Three Farmer’s wife hatching chick and eggs: 5x multiplier
Wilds
The game features a wild symbol in the form of the farm’s sign. This can substitute any other standard symbols to create winning combinations.
Scatters
The Scatter is represented by the picture of two Ginger birds looking out at the player from their cage window. When three or more Scatters appear anywhere on the reels, players are awarded 10 free spins and a chance to win bigger prizes during this bonus feature.
Bonus Features
During regular gameplay, any combination of five Chickens with different breeds (Ginger, Farmer’s wife hatching chick, or eggs) will result in two sets of ten Free Spins added to the player’s account. Furthermore, all players who land 3 Scatter combinations within a single spin are also awarded an additional set of ten bonus rounds.
Free Spins
As mentioned earlier, when three or more Scatters appear anywhere on the reels during regular playtime and not specifically in any designated slot machine (as stated above), they activate both free spins and wild symbol conversion abilities for each subsequent win. Ten standard non-winning combinations made up from all symbols become ‘Wilds,’ so now every single spin has even greater possibilities.
RTP
The return-to-player percentage (RTP) is around 95%. This means that over time, players can expect to receive an average payout of £0.95 for each £1 bet placed.
Volatility
This slot machine operates on a medium volatility model which ensures there will be consistent wins but also does not guarantee large sums or jackpots.
Betting Range and Max Win Players have the ability to adjust their stake levels from as low as 20c per spin up to £200, allowing for plenty of flexibility depending upon individual player preferences. The top prize that can be won on Chicken Run is worth up to £600 when betting at max limits.
In addition to a classic mode gameplay option with higher payoffs (up to x10), there’s also the chance to gamble any win via two separate options available under Settings tab – these include Gamble Double Up & Bankroll Protect.
