Chicken Road is a 5-reel, 20-payline online slot machine developed by Cayetano Gaming. The game revolves around an entertaining theme that combines elements of the Wild West with poultry farming. Players are immersed in a world where cowboys and chickens coexist, offering a unique blend of excitement and humor.
Theme
The Chicken Road theme is centered on a rural setting with rolling hills, farmhouses, and fields filled with roaming chickens. The game’s background features an animated road that runs across Chicken Road the reels, complete with moving vehicles, trees, and other landscape elements. The overall aesthetic creates a lighthearted atmosphere, making it appealing to players seeking entertainment rather than intense gaming experiences.
Design
The slot machine is designed with bright colors and detailed graphics, reflecting its theme. The reels are set against a blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds, while the animated road stretches across the bottom of the screen. Game symbols include chicken-themed icons like clucking chickens, roosters, eggplants, carrots, and farmhouses, each carefully crafted to add depth to the overall experience.
Symbols
Gameplay is facilitated by 11 standard paytable symbols and two special features: Wild and Scatter. The base game symbols are divided into high-paying (H) and low-paying (L) icons:
- L-High Value Symbols: H – clucking chickens, roosters; L-Low Value Symbols: eggplants, carrots
- Standard High-Value Symbols: farmhouses, pickaxes, chicken coops
The Wild symbol is represented by a gold star and substitutes for any standard high-value or low-value icon to help complete winning combinations.
Payouts
The paytable lists the following winning combinations:
- 5-of-a-kind (F): wins are x500
- 4-of-a-kind: win is x50 (H), x10 (L)
- 3-in-a-row (or less): standard payouts for each combination
Winning combinations are awarded according to their relative values, ranging from a low of 2-5 credits per coin bet up to a maximum win of 5000 coins.
Wilds
The Wild symbol functions as expected, replacing any other symbol except the Scatter icon. However, when two or more Wild symbols appear in winning combinations, they do not multiply wins by additional factors as with many slot machines.
Scatters
The game features one unique scatter: the Farmer icon, representing a central figure of agriculture. Scatters can appear anywhere on reels 2-5 and offer various bonus options depending on their occurrence:
- 1 Scatter (independent): starts Free Spins feature
- Multiple Scatters (stacked):
- Two or more scatters grant up to 10 spins per additional scatter
- The number of free games depends on the reel in which they landed
- Farming Bonus rewards cash and can be triggered with four Scatters, as described above under “Free Spins”
Bonus Features
In addition to Free Spins and Wilds, Chicken Road offers other intriguing features:
- Farming Bonus : If two or more scattered Farmers appear in the same spin while playing a base game that resulted from landing multiple Scatter icon combinations (described under scatters), you’re awarded an immediate win. The bonus consists of up to 1 times stake multiplied by reel’s current level.
- Multiplier on individual reels, which can reach up to x10
While standard in its use of these mechanics, the combination of Wild and Scatter elements in this game contributes a rich layering effect enhancing player experience.
Free Spins
Chicken Road features two unique Free Spin modes:
- Independent spin : granted with just one scatter icon anywhere on reels (not partaking in another set bonus)
- "Scatter Stacked Bonus"
Both types award between five to ten free games depending upon specific placement.
- Additional information can be found above under the subheading for scatters
Free Spins grant up to four levels of multipliers from x1 all way up until achieving an additional multiplier at that rate, allowing participants more than enough opportunities at rewarding combinations throughout sessions. Bonus rounds are non-locked per spin offering greater variability compared with fixed game rewards.
RTP and Volatility
Chicken Road boasts a Return-To-Player (RTP) percentage of 96%. The overall RTP means you can expect this amount back on your bet for every hundred spins played over extended periods, assuming normal market conditions.
For slots, volatility represents the standard variance between expected return and payout frequencies; higher variance often translates into bigger jackpots but less frequent wins. According to Cayetano Gaming’s data, Chicken Road falls under medium variance – a middle ground that strikes an optimal balance for players seeking rewarding returns rather than guaranteed wins every few spins.
Betting Range
The slot offers adjustable betting limits ranging from €0.01 per line (up to x20 total bet) all the way up to €200, thus enabling access and accessibility across different markets with various budget constraints.
Max Win
Chicken Road’s maximum win is 50 times stake during any single game session or bonus round combined throughout your stay on platform that this particular slot machine has been installed at.
