PoggiPlay’s "Chicken Run" is a classic slots game that offers a simple yet engaging playing experience. The game’s theme revolves around a farm, where players can participate in various activities with an array of lovable chicken characters.
The Design and Theme
The design of the slot machine is reminiscent of traditional fruit machines found in land-based casinos. The background of the game features a sunny farmland landscape, complete with rolling hills and fluffy clouds. On the reels Chicken Run themselves, players can find 5 regular symbols: three types of chicken (clucking hen, proud rooster, and chick), a bucket of feed, an egg-laying henhouse, and the number "7". The design is colorful and vibrant, making for a visually appealing gaming experience.
The Symbols
The game’s 5 regular symbols are spread across two categories: the three chicken characters and the remaining two symbols. These include:
- Clucking Hen : This symbol appears to be the highest-paying symbol in the base game, with wins of up to x2000 the bet.
- Proud Rooster : The proud rooster is another high-paying symbol, offering maximum payouts of up to x1500 the stake.
- Chick : Representing a younger and more innocent chicken character, the chick offers rewards of up to x1000 the bet.
The other two symbols are less lucrative but still contribute to wins:
- Bucket of Feed : This humble item rewards players with 50x their stake for landing three on a payline.
- Egg-Laying Henhouse : A small henhouse filled with eggs offers maximum payouts of up to x500 the bet.
Payouts, Wilds, and Scatters
Chicken Run uses a standard slot machine layout, where all 5 reels feature 3 rows. Players can land wins by matching three or more identical symbols on an active payline. The payout table is also quite straightforward: only two multipliers are present in the base game (x10 for four-in-a-row and x20 for five-in-a-row).
There is one wild symbol, represented by a Wild Chicken icon. This can substitute all regular-paying symbols to help form winning combinations.
On the other hand, no scatter symbol exists within the base game – instead, players will find special feature triggers tied to specific combinations in the bonus round and free spins features (more on these below).
Bonus Features
To unlock the slot’s unique gameplay, you must first activate it via a combination of three Bonus Egg icons scattered across reels 1 through 3. The eggs are only visible when all five chickens line up vertically on any single reel.
Upon triggering this bonus round:
- Each chicken symbol now transforms into an egg-laying henhouse icon for the duration.
- A series of consecutive wild symbols can be triggered by landing successive winning combinations with a fully transformed reel; each successful activation increases in frequency and number of multipliers offered.
Players have 5 spins to accumulate eggs, which act as ‘super-stacked’ wilds that will continue falling into place on all reels throughout the round – provided additional chicken characters land to keep triggering new sets. The collected eggs serve two purposes:
- Each egg contributes directly to a prize multiplier for an initial spin win of up to 5x multipliers and up to x5000.
- Additional stacked wilds appearing will multiply your wins.
The Wild Chicken Feature
Now let’s focus on the single special feature that stands out within this slot, known as "Wild Chicken Frenzy." The main idea is for these extra chickens’ ability to land after reaching an already populated reel – providing potential stacking chances.
However, here lies a critical nuance: if there have been three or more of any kind (i.e., another bird other than just regulars) per spin in each position during the same round as triggered by Bonus Egg combination & triggering wild chicken symbols – your session becomes non-win-only , ensuring only non-winning spins will appear from that point until resetting to default slot state once completed.
