Theme and Design Chicken Road is a classic-style online slot machine developed by InOut Games. The game takes players on a journey through a scenic countryside road, complete with rolling hills, lush greenery, and quaint farmhouses. The theme is simple yet inviting, reminiscent of traditional fruit machines found in brick-and-mortar casinos.
The design of the game follows closely to this classic approach. The reels are set against a serene background image of a country lane, while the symbols used are all related Chicken Road to farm-related items such as roosters, eggs, chickens, and farming tools. This is not surprising given the game’s title, which explicitly suggests that players will be traversing "Chicken Road".
Symbols The slot features seven standard symbols, each with its own unique payout potential: 1) High-value: Rooster (500x), Chicken Nest Egg (200x), Hen & Chickens (100x). 2) Medium-value: Scythe (50x), Pitchfork (40x), Basket of Apples (30x). 3) Low-value: Ace, King, Queen, Jack (10-20x each).
The rooster symbol is the most lucrative icon in Chicken Road. Landing five on a payline rewards players with 500 times their stake.
Payouts and Wilds In terms of payout frequency, InOut has followed the traditional route, using a combination system for awarding prizes. Winning combinations consist of at least three identical symbols appearing consecutively from left to right on adjacent reels (adjacent means two or more consecutive columns). The exact payouts can be found in the paytable section.
The game also features wild symbols which substitute all other icons except scatters. A single Wild Chicken represents this symbol, capable of expanding vertically across entire reel stacks when a scatter is involved during Free Spins mode.
Scatters and Bonus Features There are two main special feature triggers available to enhance gameplay experience: Scattered Hens (also known as the "free spin" trigger) & The Barn Expansion Feature:
- Free Spin Trigger : Activation requires 3+ scatters on reels one through four. It initiates an award of up to 30 free spins along with multipliers for each line winning combination landed throughout the round(s).
- The Barn Expansion Feature : This feature rewards players when two wild chickens land either side, within or at least partly overlapping specific zones where no additional scatter may appear – giving way only to their replacements.
