This farm-themed game transports players to a countryside setting where chickens roam free and players can win big. The game features a 5×3 chicken games grid with five reels and three rows, providing an immersive experience that is both entertaining and lucrative.
Theme and Design
The Chicken Games slot takes place on a sunny farm surrounded by green pastures, blue skies, and fluffy white clouds. The game’s color palette is bright and cheerful, featuring shades of yellow, orange, red, and green. The design incorporates adorable cartoon-style chicken characters, making the game visually appealing to players who enjoy animal-themed slots.
The reels are set against a serene farm backdrop with various chickens pecking at grain, flying in mid-air, or simply lounging on their nests. The icons used in the game include low-value cards (9-A) and high-value symbols featuring different chicken breeds, each offering distinct payouts when matched. A wild egg symbol completes the array of icons.
Symbols
The Chicken Games slot has a wide range of symbols that contribute to its unique theme. There are three types of chickens: Brown Chickens, White Chickens, Red Chickened Cluckers, and Egg-laying Hens, each with distinct rewards for matching combinations on an active payline or in any position (Winning ways). The low-value symbols include the playing card ranks 9-A. Each symbol has its respective payout value when forming a winning combination.
- Chicken Symbols:
- Brown Chickens: pays up to 10x bet
- White Chickened Cluckers: pays up to 50x bet
- Red Chickened Egg-laying Hens: pays up to 100x bet
Payouts
Winning combinations in Chicken Games are calculated based on the payout table and can be influenced by various factors like stake value, number of winning ways (Active paylines or Winning Ways), multiplier values (Multipliers displayed next to each symbol description for winnings calculation).
The payouts can range from a simple x10 bet for landing 3-5 low-value card symbols in succession. High-value chicken icon combinations yield higher rewards: Brown Chickens offer up to 10x, White Chickened Cluckers and Red Chickened Hens award between 20x – 50x, and the prized Egg-laying Hen pays a maximum of 100 times your stake for landing five identical red-hatted fowl anywhere on an active payline or winning way.
Wilds
The Wild Egg symbol acts as both wild substitute (filling gaps in combinations) and multiplier (enhancing winnings). A stacked array of egg icons within the same reel contributes to increased rewards. Any appearance of two stacked eggs per spin triggers a scatter-activated game bonus feature, initiating an extra round with five free spins.
Scatters
Three or more scattered Egg symbols anywhere across three adjacent reels (horizontally aligned) activates one bonus round featuring ten additional free turns. Each successive row or combination contributes to multiplying the original bonus total of 10 free games up until a cap at 20 times. A winning way that triggers scatters will trigger a separate game win, calculated independently of any active line wins and any subsequent spins.
Bonus Features
Chicken Games has two distinct bonus features:
- Farm Frenzy Free Spins: Upon triggering ten or more free turns through five successive scatter occurrences, an additional four to eight free games may be earned. A stacked egg contribution per spin rewards further multiplication up until a cap of 20 total rounds.
- Pecking Order Bonus : Successfully collecting ten pecks (five chickens) in succession will award a maximum cash-out prize equivalent to your initial bet.
Free Spins
The main bonus round initiated by triggering five or more scatter occurrences on three adjacent reels offers 10 free spins. This additional spin count serves as an advantage due to each participating row increasing the base reward up until reaching twenty total games played for that particular feature activation and subsequent game sessions occurring.
Players have multiple chances throughout several game sessions where earning extra bonus rounds becomes feasible by landing either four or five consecutive scatters over an active line for ten more games added in succession, thereby multiplying wins from these events within a set time frame of session progression depending on player preference.
