The "Chicken Run" casino slot is a 5-reel, 3-row game designed by Microgaming, a prominent software provider in the online gaming industry. This slot machine has been available since its release in 2011 and has maintained a loyal following due to its engaging theme, exciting gameplay, and generous payouts.
Theme
The "Chicken Run" theme revolves around a group of chickens trying to escape from an evil farmer’s farm. The game’s background features a farm setting with Chicken Run review barns, fields, and trees, while the reels are adorned with characters inspired by the movie "Chicken Run." Players can expect to encounter the main protagonist, Ginger the chicken, as well as other birds attempting to flee their coop.
Design
The game’s design is both colorful and immersive. The 5×3 grid offers an attractive layout, making it easy for players to navigate and track their progress. Each symbol is intricately designed with detailed textures and animations that bring the farm setting to life. Some symbols even change color or direction during spin rounds.
Symbols
"Chicken Run" features a mix of standard and high-paying symbols based on the game’s theme:
- Low-value Symbols : The 10, J, Q, K, A cards (Joker) are displayed in a style reminiscent of vintage farm signs.
- High-value Symbols : Farm animals such as chicks, roosters, hens, pigs, and even Farmer’s wife (Barn Owl) offer higher payouts.
The most valuable symbol is the Ginger chicken logo itself.
Payouts
Players can win up to 1,000 coins on a single payline by landing five of the highest-paying symbols. However, given that there are only three rows on each reel, getting those combinations may not be easy due in part because reels do not come together on same symbol line without stopping at different reels.
Wilds
The game has no wild card but does offer a free spin feature (explained below). Also note it contains 2 scatters symbols that trigger bonus features when landed two and more.
