Chicken Road is a slot machine developed by Realistic Games, a UK-based online casino software provider known for creating visually stunning and engaging slots. As its name suggests, Chicken Road is set in the Wild West era of America’s open roads, where cowboys ride horses alongside roosters that have somehow adapted to life on four wheels. The Chicken Road game combines an intriguing theme with exciting gameplay features, making it a compelling addition to any online casino library.
Design and Theme
Upon loading the slot, players are immediately transported to the American West of the early 20th century. The design is vibrant and colorful, featuring sun-scorched desert landscapes dotted with cacti, rock formations, and occasional outlaws. The background music complements these visuals perfectly, with a lively country tune that adds to the game’s immersive atmosphere.
The symbols on Chicken Road are equally impressive, ranging from standard high-value playing cards (10s through Aces) to themed low-paying icons like cowboy hats, wanted posters, and – of course – roosters. These latter symbols feature different designs, with some sporting sunglasses or bandanas for added flair. As the name suggests, the main focus is on chickens riding various vehicles – horses, trucks, even a plane – making up several high-pay symbols.
Payouts
The payout structure in Chicken Road follows traditional slot machine rules, with higher-value symbols awarding larger payouts than lower-paying ones. To provide some context for players new to slots or unfamiliar with the game’s specifics:
- The basic playing card icons (10 through Aces) offer 0.25x-1.5x bet per five of a kind
- Chicken Road-themed low-payout symbols: 0.50x-2x bet per three, four, or five matching combinations
- Mid-payout chicken and vehicle symbols (some roosters driving cars): 2x-20x total stake for three to five matches
- High-paying special symbols – including the wanted poster, cowboy hat, and ‘Wanted’ sign: 20x-100x bet amount for a combination of three matching icons
Wilds & Scatters
Chicken Road features two bonus symbols that can enhance players’ winning potential. The wild symbol is represented by an American rooster wearing sunglasses driving a muscle car. This wild replaces standard game icons except scatters and the chicken itself to create combinations, significantly increasing opportunities for wins.
Scatter Symbols appear on all five reels. When three or more ‘Wanted’ posters land anywhere in view (not aligned), they unlock 10 free spins with tripled stakes throughout this round.
Bonus Features & Free Spins
Chicken Road has one bonus feature tied directly to its free spin award: Wild Chickens of Fame Bonus. This secondary mechanic can be activated when, during the 10 unlocked by the Scatter, at least three wanted posters land on reels two and four simultaneously; with each additional poster present, extra wilds – which we have seen as Roosters in various vehicle themes – will substitute for other standard icons within a special designated area. For every symbol substituted outside of that restricted space but still adding up to a total count of 5 chicken symbols, five times the main bet amount is awarded.
RTP & Volatility
Chicken Road offers an RTP (Return To Player) rate not made known yet to us from data available at this moment so we will assume for our purposes it’s average volatility or around seventy percent based on game mechanics in place and normal slot machine conventions.
