Chicken Run is a 5-reel, 3-row online video slot game developed by Microgaming, a renowned software provider in the iGaming industry. This game is based on the popular animated film "Chicken Run," which was released in 2000 and later Chicken Run became a cult classic. The slot machine brings to life the quirky world of chickens trying to escape from a sinister farmer, and it offers an entertaining experience for players.
Theme
The theme of Chicken Run slots revolves around farm animals, primarily chickens, as they attempt to flee their coop under the tyranny of the notorious Mr. Tweedy. The game’s background is set on a rural English countryside, complete with rolling hills, trees, and other farm-related features. Players are transported into this whimsical world where humor and excitement reign supreme.
Design
The design of Chicken Run slots is colorful and cartoonish, mirroring the lighthearted nature of the original film. The 5×3 grid layout allows for up to 30 winning combinations, with 10 paylines that are adjustable to suit different player preferences. Symbols include various farm animals such as roosters, hens, ducks, cows, and pigs, all designed in an exaggerated style reminiscent of classic cartoons.
Symbols
The game’s symbols can be categorized into three groups: low-value, medium-value, and high-value icons. The low-value symbols consist of the traditional playing cards 9 to A (10-11) times their value on the paytable). Medium-value symbols feature farm animals like ducks, pigs, cows, and goats, each paying out a varying number of coins for matching combinations.
Payouts
The payouts for Chicken Run slots are calculated based on the combination of symbols, with the high-paying characters awarding significantly more credits. For example:
- 3-5 Medium Value Symbol combinations: pays out x1 – x100 (depending on the animal)
- High-value chicken symbol awards up to 10 coins
- The rooster acts as a wild and can substitute any other standard paying combination for maximum wins
Wilds
In Chicken Run slots, the Rooster is designated as Wild. It has dual roles: it functions as a regular substitutor in winning combinations (apart from Scatters) but does not create additional payouts when multiple are part of one win.
Scatters
Chicken Run also features scattered symbols that trigger bonus rewards. In this game, these scatters take the form of two eggs on top of each other and can appear anywhere within the 5 reels to activate a feature – more about this in later sections below!
Bonus Features
In addition to Wilds & Scattered Egg icons mentioned previously which grant cash prizes plus trigger ‘Free Spins Bonus’, we must discuss yet another lucrative aspect regarding how they offer their support throughout gameplay without giving away information prematurely here; it remains secret what additional surprises will come up so don’t worry – more exciting moments await your arrival!
Free Spins
Players who get three Scatters anywhere across all five reels qualify themselves immediately after completion for an awesome chance at multiplying possible earnings through free turns added per initial spin performed previously until maximum spins cap met successfully achieved otherwise normal payout applies instead.
