The "Chicken Road" slots machine is a game designed by Pragmatic Play that delves into the world of farm life, where players get to experience the thrill of collecting eggs and racing through muddy roads with chickens as their loyal companions. Set amidst the rustic charm of rural landscapes, this 5-reel, 25-payline game invites players to embark on a journey filled with laughter and fun.

Theme and Design

As we delve into the world of "Chicken Road", it’s evident that the designers have taken inspiration from farm life, incorporating various elements such as barns, fields, tractors, Chicken Road chickens, eggs, and even farm animals. The game is characterized by its bright and cheerful color scheme, with soothing music accompanying every spin.

The design is well-executed, featuring a mix of cartoonish and realistic elements that blend seamlessly together. The reels are situated within the backdrop of a picturesque countryside landscape, complete with fluffy white clouds drifting lazily across the sky. This serene setting effectively immerses players in an idyllic atmosphere reminiscent of farm life.

One notable aspect is the use of symbols that pay homage to farm-related activities and items such as eggs (low-paying symbol), tractor wheels, cows (high-paying symbols), chickens on a cart racing down Chicken Road, hay bales, and even what appears to be a ‘Farmer’s Daughter’. Players familiar with country life will certainly enjoy seeing these nostalgic elements.

Symbols

The game features 12 regular playing cards from 9-Ace as low-paying symbols, complemented by eggs (5-of-a-kind pays out x500) at the lowest end of the payout scale. High-value symbols include farm animals like cows, pigs, and chickens (with a maximum reward of x10,000 for five cow combinations). Other high-scoring symbols include tractor wheels and what appears to be ‘Farmer’s Daughter’ – possibly an indication that she is involved in this rural escapade.

Payouts

Wins occur when the same symbol lands on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. The payout amounts are as follows:

• Low-value playing cards pay 0.2x for three, 1x for four, and x2 for five combinations.
• Eggs offer lower returns compared to other symbols at low value (5-of-a-kind pays out x500).

High-paying animal icons award higher payouts: chickens return up to x10, cows give x50, pigs pay a maximum of x25. Special symbols like tractor wheels have an increased reward of up to x20.

The Farmer’s Daughter offers one of the highest rewards with max wins reaching an impressive 1×10,000 – not something we usually associate with rural settings!

Wilds

Here we find two special wild icons: a stylized Chicken Road logo serves as the game’s main wildcard and substitutes any standard symbol to complete winning combinations.

A chicken icon is designated as the bonus scatter for triggering free spins in this slot.

Free Spins:

To start playing ‘Chicken Road’, the Free Spin Bonus mode can be triggered by obtaining three or more scatters on a spin. It awards up to 15 free games with no limitations – something you do not usually see with other online slots.

The Chicken icon is used as the scatter, landing these special symbols triggers rewards from the following payout table:

• Three scatters reward four free spins.
• Four scatters award ten free games.
• Five or more will unlock up to 15 bonus rounds!

When activated during this feature, Free Spins can provide multiple opportunities for players to rake in their farm-fresh cash.

During Bonus Rounds (Free Games), landing on two chicken scatter symbols reactivates additional rounds without resetting the sequence! More than a good way of providing those free games if I ever saw one.
