The "Chicken Run" game from "Fowl Play" is a casino-style online slot that takes its inspiration from the classic animated film of the same name. This 5-reel, 20-payline slot offers a humorous take on farm life, complete with plump chickens, sneaky pigs, and even a charismatic Chicken Run casino rooster.
Theme
The theme of this game revolves around an epic escape by a group of chickens, led by Ginger (played by Julia Sawalha), from the nefarious clutches of Mr. Tweedy’s chicken farm. The slot’s graphics are colorful and cartoon-style, transporting players into a whimsical world filled with animated characters that evoke the original film.
Design
Visually, "Chicken Run" is a bright and vibrant game that mirrors the animation style seen in the 2000 film adaptation of Nick Park’s original short. Each symbol on the reels represents an integral character or item from the story: Ginger, Rocky (the charming rooster), Miss Tweedy, and others are all here, contributing to a lively atmosphere.
Each reel is surrounded by bold, ornate borders that resemble traditional farm fences, further underscoring the slot’s theme. At the top of each screen lies an elegant title featuring stylized fontwork based on vintage movies titles from the early 20th century – an additional element showing attention to detail in game design.
Symbols
Game symbols include main characters (e.g., Ginger and Rocky), farm animals like cows, pigs, chickens and birds. Less valuable items such as carrots, lettuce leaves, seeds are also used as lower pay-out symbols providing more balance between rewards through numerous smaller wins rather than fewer high value prizes.
Payouts
Wins within this "Chicken Run" game operate according to a combination of matching several identical icons across the active 20 win lines while their values and multipliers range from relatively low (e.g., carrots giving 3x multipliers) up to higher worth ones associated with main characters. It appears likely that Ginger will often produce better value as she has double her standard multiplier.
