The "Chicken Run" casino slot is a game that takes its cue from the animated film of the same name, where the story revolves around a group of chickens plotting to escape their farm. The slot machine has been designed with a similar theme, aiming to transport players into an Chicken Run idyllic English countryside setting filled with farmland and the joyous company of farm animals.
Upon launching the game for the first time, players are immediately immersed in its rural atmosphere. As they spin the reels, lush green pastures come alive on either side of the screen, replete with colorful birds flitting about a small pond below. The symbols on display showcase an assortment of whimsical creatures that add to this lighthearted and playful tone.
Theme
At its core, "Chicken Run" is designed around the movie’s storyline where Ginger, a plump yet spirited chicken with her own dreams of adventure beyond egg-laying duties on Mossy Stone Farm. With characters like Fowler, the charismatic rooster; Bunce, an aging but clever hen and the farm’s resident brainiac; Babs, a stunning beauty among hens; Mrs. Tweedy and Mr. Tweedy – owners who use chickens for their profitable Feather Biz – at its heart, "Chicken Run" captures this spirit of freedom as it invites players to participate in the animated escapade.
Design
A 5×3 reel structure with 15 fixed paylines is all that you’ll see on the screen. Each spin results in a potential combination where three or more similar symbols appear anywhere across these lines to bring home an award. Symbols, starting from Aces and Jacks up to higher-value characters like Bunce, Ginger, Babs, Mrs., and Mr Tweedy offer varying rewards – with higher payouts tied specifically to specific animals within the reel layout.
Symbols
At the bottom of the list is where you’ll find your standard card values from Ace through King. While each has its unique charm when partaking in the on-screen activity, they don’t contribute much towards generating winnings beyond contributing to combinations that pay based purely off quantity rather than the value placed upon them at other slot titles. Card ranks appear regularly enough throughout gameplay but are perhaps more suited as background figures set against vibrant farm imagery where a large cast of animal friends and antagonists can be found.
Payouts
Rewards vary depending on which animals were in each position across that 3×5 grid after every spin; high-value characters naturally yield better returns with Ginger the plump but spirited hen emerging as top scorer among base-game winning combos – while less valuable farm inhabitants tend to fall somewhat short of expectation though their frequency helps make them part of game strategy.
Wilds
Free from normal combinations is a single animal icon featuring both mother and father Tweedy standing side by side with faces twisted into cruel smiles, aptly known as "Feather Biz" Wild – substituting for missing pieces needed to form valid matches across its designated lines. The inclusion of two specific animals serving wild duties might make slot gameplay all the more appealing especially when seeking those elusive big wins which ultimately define this title’s appeal.
Scatters
Next, you’ll discover three ‘Egg’ Scatter icons arranged above main grid layout: green and red – providing not just any scatter but a pair with two roles – bonus spins & extra money. This gives even further reason to anticipate each spin knowing its success depends heavily on these chances as opposed solely relying on line rewards.
Bonus Features
The "Chicken Run" slot has more in store than basic gameplay mechanics when you get a minimum three of Egg Scatter icons across the reels which launches feature called ‘Egg-stravagant Bonus Spin.’ Upon activation, there’s no clear rule change yet players are rewarded ten spins with a guaranteed prize tied solely to specific chicken or rooster icons – rather than just relying on those normal winning combos appearing across fixed paylines.
Free Spins
The "Chicken Run" slot also offers ‘Farmer’s Free Spins,’ activating via any combination where at least three Scatter eggs appear anywhere across 5×3 grid, unlocking ten additional free spins which come with multiplier of either x1 or x10 – depending solely upon the appearance position.
RTP
A return to player percentage that ranges between low (around 93%) and high values above 96% is expected for this release but final number was unable found in data available at time review written so we cannot accurately conclude any specific RTP number. It should be noted however, returns do significantly improve when participating within higher-bet configurations, where bonus free spin options increase accordingly while maintaining those lower-rewarding card value.
