The Chicken Run casino slot is a video game that brings to life the world of Nick Park’s beloved animated film "Chicken Run." This five-reel online slot machine, developed by Microgaming, offers an entertaining gaming experience for players who appreciate farm-themed slots and the quirky humor associated with the movie.
Theme and Design
The slot adheres closely to the original story, transporting gamers directly into the heart of Tweedy’s hen Chicken Run CA house. Players are greeted by colorful characters from the film, including Ginger, Rocky, and Mrs. Tweedy. Microgaming has done an excellent job in replicating the whimsical setting and style of the movie within this online slot. The reels themselves take on a distressed look to reflect the makeshift appearance of the farm’s hen house. Animated birds are seen flapping around the background as players spin the reels, adding an extra level of visual immersion.
Symbols
The Chicken Run slot features both classic symbols from video slots and special elements inspired by the film. These include:
- Traditional symbols like Aces to 5s in different colors and designs
- Special icons such as Ginger (Wild), Mrs. Tweedy’s Chickens (Scatter), Farmer Henderson, and Mr. Tweedy (Bonus)
Payouts
The Chicken Run slot offers an array of payouts for players who line up winning combinations on its reels. The values assigned to these symbols are in keeping with the Microgaming tradition of paying out relatively high rewards.
- Jester’s Hat is worth 1-5x, while a cluster of five of a kind Jacks through Fives can yield between 100 and 2500 coins
- Farmhouse symbols award bigger payouts: three to five appear for up to 10x the total bet, with six in-a-row offering as much as 50 times your starting wager
Wilds and Scatters
As mentioned earlier, the game’s Wild symbol is Ginger, while Mrs. Tweedy’s Chickens serve as Scatter icons.
- The wild can be used to substitute for other symbols (with some exceptions), increasing a player’s chances of landing winning combinations
- Any time three or more of these chick hatches land on screen, they trigger a 10x multiplier and begin a new game round
Bonus Features
Chicken Run features not one but two bonus features: "The Great Escape" and "Feather Frenzy."
- The Great Escape:
If players collect at least four of the same color eggs around a single reel while spinning the reels, this will result in a winning multiplier ranging from 5 to 50 times your bet.
- Feather Frenzy:
While playing free spins feature (see below), participants can collect multiple sets of hens during gameplay. At some point, the slot’s "Foxy" mode is triggered and all wins are doubled for up to five rounds
Free Spins
By triggering a minimum of three Scatters on an active payline, players unlock this coveted bonus round.
- The starting 5 free spins award multipliers from x2 (with no maximum) for each win achieved during the feature
- Re-triggers become possible once at least two more scatter icons land during the original game session
RTP and Volatility
The RTP percentage of Chicken Run was set by Microgaming to be around 96.00% although this may fluctuate depending on several external factors like casino house edge.
Volatility has been classified as moderate. Given its relatively low range, it seems fair to state that the game neither offers particularly frequent nor rewarding winning opportunities due partly due lack of large payouts available within regular spin sessions.
