Chicken Run

The Chicken Run slot machine game is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot developed by Microgaming, a renowned online gaming software provider. This colorful and entertaining game is based on the popular computer-animated comedy film of Chicken Run the same name, which was released in 2000.

Theme and Design

The Chicken Run slot machine boasts an eye-catching design inspired by the movie’s farm setting. The reels are set amidst a lush green pasture with fluffy white clouds floating above them. In the background, you’ll find a stylized farmhouse and a silhouetted sky filled with birds in flight.

The game features 17 unique symbols, including high-value animals such as hens, roosters, pigs, cows, and sheep, low-paying numbered cards from 9 to Ace, and several special icons that trigger various bonus features. The colorful graphics are vibrant and engaging, making it an enjoyable experience for players of all ages.

Symbols

As mentioned earlier, the game boasts a diverse range of symbols inspired by farm animals. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Wild Symbol : Represented by Ginger the hen, this symbol is used to replace any other icon except the scatter and substitute it in combinations to form winning paylines.
2. Scatter Symbols : These are represented by two icons: The Chicken Run logo and a picture of an old farm sign with "Chicken Run" written on it.

Payouts

The game’s payouts are calculated based on the combination of symbols that appear in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Here is how the wins work out:

• Low-paying Symbols : The number cards (9-Ace) pay between 0.10 to 2 coins for each 3-symbol combination.
• High-Paying Symbols : Chickens, Roosters and Pigs pay between 5-30 coins per single matching symbol from leftmost reel.
• Special Icons :

Wilds

Ginger the hen is the game’s wild icon. It can appear on reels 2 to 5 and acts as a substitute for all regular icons except scatters.

Scatters

The Chicken Run logo scatter appears only on reels 1, 3, and 5. When two or more of these symbols align in any direction across the screen (not necessarily consecutively), they trigger various bonus features.

Bonus Features

Several unique bonus rounds are triggered by specific scatters combinations:

• Chicken Run Feature : This is activated when three scatter icons land anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5.
  • The chicken coop opens up with six levels to explore. Each level offers rewards in the form of coins or additional free spins.

Free Spins

Some bonus features come with Free Spins:

• Chicken Run Bonus : Activated by three scatters landing on reels 1, 3 and 5.
  • The chicken coop opens up allowing you to choose six doors which lead either two coins each time for every spin (up until the remaining six) – "winning door" or an egg containing random amount of bonus spins.

RTP

The theoretical return-to-player percentage is stated as 95.25% , a relatively average RTP compared to other Microgaming slot machines.

Volatility

Chicken Run falls under medium-volatility games meaning it offers balanced mix between size & frequency of winning combinations making for smoother gaming experience but potentially fewer big wins per spin than low or high variance counterparts would provide.
