Overview
Chicken Run is a farm-themed video slot game developed by Microgaming that takes inspiration from the classic 2000 stop-motion animated film of the same name. The game offers an engaging and entertaining experience, perfect for both casual players and seasoned gamblers alike.
Theme and Design
The game’s theme revolves around the main character, Ginger, a plump but fiery hen who leads her flock in Chicken Run a daring escape from the evil farmer, Mr. Tweedy. As players navigate through the reels, they will encounter various symbols inspired by farm animals and equipment, such as hens, roosters, chickens’ eggs, farmhouses, gates, fences, tractors, and even a sinister-looking farmer.
The game features a 5×3 reel layout with 15 paylines, providing players with numerous opportunities to score wins. The background animation depicts the farmland at sunset, adding to the immersive atmosphere of the game. Each symbol is carefully designed to reflect its respective theme, making for an engaging and visually appealing experience.
Symbols
The symbols in Chicken Run are divided into low-paying and high-paying categories, ensuring that players can win consistently throughout their gameplay session. The game features standard card values such as Aces (5x), Kings (4x), Queens (3x), Jacks (2x), and 10s (1x). These pay out between x0.25 to x1 times the total bet.
The mid-paying symbols, represented by farm animals like hens, roosters, ducks, sheep, and pigs, offer payouts ranging from x5 to x40 times the total stake for five of a kind combinations.
High-Paying Symbols
On the other hand, high-paying symbols are inspired by eggs (x100) and farmhouses (x200), providing potential wins that can be quite substantial. It is worth noting that all payout values mentioned above correspond to the maximum bet value, as stated on the game’s information page.
Wilds
Ginger serves as the Wild symbol in Chicken Run, replacing any standard paying symbols or special features when necessary. As such, it increases the chances of scoring wins and enhances overall gameplay flexibility.
Scatters and Bonus Features
The game’s Scatter icon is represented by a tractor, which rewards players with 12 free spins for three, four, or five appearing anywhere on the reels simultaneously. These free spins can be re-triggered by landing additional Scattered tractors during their duration.
Another essential bonus feature in Chicken Run is its randomly triggered ‘Roulette Bonus,’ where Ginger appears as a Wild and becomes active only during this specific sequence of events. Each participating spin can potentially trigger one, two, three, four or five free spins based on the number of matching reels from left to right respectively (no consecutive wins allowed).
Additionally, landing three Scattered tractors anywhere triggers an instant win multiplier ranging between 3x and 100 times bet depending upon the reel match pattern – more info is provided below under RTP & Volatility.
Free Spins
As mentioned earlier, players can trigger up to 12 free spins when they land three or four scattered Tractor symbols on their reels. Each free spin will reward players with an increasing multiplier for five consecutive wins: 3x, 6x and 9x bet value for any of these standard symbol winning combinations respectively before resetting once achieved.
Return to Player (RTP) & Volatility
Chicken Run’s Return To Player (RTP) percentage stands at 96.4%, making it an above-average payout game in terms of theoretical chances for long-term returns relative to the average slot machine RTP. It operates under Medium-Medium-High volatility parameters with relatively larger payouts occurring during its free spins sequence – due mostly because Ginger will participate when Wild appearing within these sequences (refer ‘wild’ section) and this feature alone adds extra potential rewards even if players manage only limited combinations before it’s over.
Betting Range
The betting range in Chicken Run ranges from £0.10 up to a maximum bet value of £60, providing an accommodating option for low-stakes as well as high-rollers alike who are accustomed with various stakes and expectations regarding gameplay pace.
Max Win
According to Microgaming’s specifications, the top win potential available on each single spin in Chicken Run is capped at x30000 times the total bet – offering ample opportunities for significant jackpots depending on player preference levels chosen prior commencing any session playthrough.
This capping of highest possible return doesn’t affect regular slot game experience and may even slightly enhance general flow pace, but naturally it affects what would have been an achievable maximum win sum during a single spin before this specific limit adjustment implementation occurred.
