The world of online slots is a vast and wondrous place, filled with an incredible array of themes, designs, and gameplay mechanics. Among the many options available to players, some games stand out as particularly notable for their unique twists on classic slot design. One such game that has caught our attention is "Chicken Road 2", a colorful and engaging slot machine from a renowned provider in the industry.
Theme and Design
As one might expect from its name, Chicken Road 2 Chicken Road 2 takes place on a winding country road lined with chickens, farms, and rural scenery. The game’s design is bright and cheerful, with vibrant colors that evoke a sense of sunny afternoons spent playing in the yard. The background image depicts a picturesque farm setting, complete with rolling hills, trees, and even a few friendly cows grazing peacefully.
The reels themselves are set against a simple yet effective road-side scenery backdrop, adding to the game’s down-to-earth charm. Players can spin on either 5×3 or 6×4 reel configurations, depending on their preference for a classic or modern experience.
Symbols
The paytable in Chicken Road 2 is filled with various symbols that contribute to the game’s farm-fresh theme. The basic playing card values (9-Ace) are represented by minimalist designs featuring chicken motifs and stylized fonts.
Higher-paying symbols include images of different animals, such as hens, roosters, cows, pigs, and even a smiling farmer or two. These icons offer varying degrees of value on the paytable, ranging from 0.25x to 10x for each type.
Payouts
Each symbol offers its own payout structure based on landing at least three matching types consecutively across an active line (Win Way) or in either adjacent or non-adjacent positions in any 5×3 or 6×4 configuration (All Ways). Here’s a brief rundown of the payouts for each animal and other relevant symbols:
- Chickens: Hatching eggs, chicks, and full-grown hens are all rewarded with decent sums.
- Landing three to five identical hatching egg symbols triggers up to a 50.00x maximum win per line bet in Win Way mode or 0.12% max RTP All Ways configuration.
- Roosters: Strutting males bring higher prizes:
- Three, four, and five rooster symbols pay out as much as 100.00x the total bet (max win).
- Pigs and Cows: Mellow farm animals earn moderate sums:
- Landing three to six of each type gives up to a 25.00x line max or an equally impressive All Ways payout.
- Farmers and Farmscapes: Some additional rewards are provided by depicting scenes from everyday rural life, with values reaching around 20-30 times the wager.
Wilds
A special "Road Wild" symbol – illustrated as an endless country road leading up to a silo filled with grain – stands in for all regular symbols during gameplay. As expected, its presence significantly increases potential wins by combining multiple winning combinations. However, it can’t create new ones independently or initiate the bonus feature described below.
Scatters
The Chicken Egg Scatters play their role when appearing on reels 1 and 3 simultaneously (with a minimum two Wilds in place). In this situation:
- Two identical chicken eggs trigger four free spins with wild symbol substitution.
- Three to six eggs award between five and twenty additional Free Spins, depending upon how many symbols land.
Bonus Features
The Chicken Bonus round is triggered by landing at least three Scatters anywhere on the reels. After a short animation showcasing chickens pecking away at an enormous chicken egg-shaped slot machine inside their coop, players enter the game mode with various opportunities to accumulate massive rewards:
-
Scatter Win : Payout multipliers of up to x2000 are available when a combination including any three scattered Egg icons triggers ten more rounds (total max multiplier wins).
-
Feature Picks Bonus Round : Players may pick one out of four "chickens" – egg-laying animals of different breeds that reward either random cash payouts or additional free spins upon selection.
-
Scatter Free Spins & Multiplier Combo : Three Scatters initiate two sets – fifteen (five per set) ten times multiplier (up to 250,000), fifty free spins with win multiplier (max 300x). Each time a chicken hatches an egg within the combo, its value is increased by up to twenty-five percent.
Free Spins
As explained above in Scatters and Bonus Features sections, various amounts of extra rounds can be won depending on how many Scatter icons land during regular spins or bonus selection.
In Free Spins with x2 -x50 multipliers (combined values), an unlimited 8 times multiplier value per non-scatter wild landing occurs for each individual line bet in Win Way configuration.
