Chicken Run
Chicken Run is a casino slot game developed by Microgaming, one of the leading software providers in the gaming industry. The game is inspired by the popular animated movie "Chicken Run," released in 2000, which tells the story of a group of chickens trying to escape from their farm and live freely.
Theme and Design
The theme of Chicken Run slot is centered around the world of farming, Chicken Run with a focus on chickens attempting to break free from their confinement. The game’s design reflects this idea, with a colorful and vibrant layout that features illustrations of chickens, farmers, and other elements related to poultry farming. The background image shows a farm setting, complete with rolling hills and trees.
The game grid consists of five reels and three rows, arranged in a standard 5×3 format. Players can select from one to five active paylines, each containing between two and six winning combinations per line. The minimum number of paylines is set at $0.25, while the maximum bet reaches up to $500.
Symbols
The Chicken Run slot features a variety of symbols that are inspired by the movie’s story. These include:
- Low-paying Symbols : Playing Cards (9-A) – these symbols offer minimal payouts and appear in various combinations on the reels.
- High-paying Symbols : Farm Fences, Chickens, Farmers, Cluck Norris, Feathers, Eggs, Coop Doors, etc.
The high-paying symbols are inspired by the characters from the movie and provide higher payout values when matched together or with other winning combinations.
Payouts
Winning payouts in Chicken Run slot depend on the paytable, which is linked to each of the symbols. The paytable indicates that players can earn rewards ranging from 0.5x up to 200x their stake for matching various symbol combinations across active paylines.
The Wild Symbol , represented by Cluck Norris’ head, acts as a substitute for any other regular game symbol except Scatter and Bonus to create winning combinations.
Wilds
Cluck Norris serves as the Wild in Chicken Run slot. This icon appears on reels 2 through 5 and substitutes for all symbols apart from scatter and bonus, enabling more successful outcomes. As an added feature, Cluck’s image will turn into a chicken icon when it becomes part of multiple wins within the same spin.
Scatters
The Coop Door symbol is considered Scatter in Chicken Run slot. Landing three or four Scatters across reels triggers 12 Free Spins for five paylines; while six or more on screen awards twenty free spins with no restriction on active lines, respectively.
Additionally, an Extra Wild Reel becomes available during these Free Spins periods – situated at the second reel position – allowing participants to profit from increased wild combinations.
