The Chicken Road slot machine is a farm-themed game developed by NetEnt, one of the leading casino software providers. Released in 2015, this five-reel slot features an egg-cellent theme with various farm animals as symbols, including chickens, ducks, pigs, Chicken Road and cows.
Theme and Design Chicken Road has a laid-back country feel to it, with animated animal friends roaming around on the reels. The game’s background is set in a picturesque countryside landscape with rolling hills and green pastures. The slot machine itself has a relatively simple design, but this simplicity does not detract from its overall appeal.
The symbols used in Chicken Road are typical farm animals, with each one having unique animations when they appear on the reels. For example, if you land three or more ducks on an active payline, the animation shows them flying around together. Similarly, landing four or five pigs triggers a fun "pig parade" animation where all pigs dance on the screen.
Symbols and Payouts The game features 10 regular symbols consisting of farm animals (chicken, duck, pig, cow, horse) as well as higher value animal-themed icons like the Scattered Hens’ Nests and Wild Rooster. The Low Paying Symbols include a Red Ace to a White Six card suit.
Each symbol has its own payout amount based on how many matching symbols appear in sequence starting from leftmost reel, with some exceptions for specific combinations (as described below).
Symbol Payout Red Ace to White Six cards 1-100x bet per line Chicken, Duck, Pig, Cow 5-400x bet per line
Wilds and Scatters The Wild Rooster is a high-paying symbol that serves as the game’s wild. It can replace any other symbol on the reels (excluding scatters) to create new winning combinations.
Hens’ Nests, represented by an illustration of several hens’ eggs in a nest, act as scatter symbols when appearing two or more times anywhere on the three center reels. Landing these will trigger the Bonus Games feature, which can be described further below.
Bonus Features
- Free Spins : If you land Hens’ Nests anywhere on the three middle reels with at least two wild Roosters in view (visible and not hidden behind other symbols), 10 free spins will start. During these rounds all winnings are tripled! In addition to basic wins from paylines, any additional bonus spin wins earned during these ten spins contribute towards achieving more free games. Additionally, landing three or four rooster wilds on reels one through five increases the player’s bet size by +20% respin win (see RTP/Volatility section).
Bonus Spins – Free Games Triggering In certain cases if no winning combinations occur at end of 10-bet, there could also exist further potential opportunities for triggering other aspects involving special features such as increased number of extra rounds added onto base spin time limits due from randomly chosen parameters when specific combination conditions met.
