Chicken Run is a 5-reel online video slot developed by Yggdrasil Gaming, a leading provider of iGaming solutions. The game takes players on a farm-themed adventure where they join a motley crew of chickens attempting Chicken Run to escape from their sinister farmer owners.
Theme and Design The theme of Chicken Run revolves around the movie "Chicken Run" (2000), an animated comedy film by Aardman Animations. The slot’s design echoes the spirit of the original movie, with colorful 2D animations depicting various farm animals as characters. The background is a sunny day on the farm, complete with green pastures and a wooden fence.
The reels are set within a large barn door adorned with feathers and hay bales. Players can interact with the game by using icons representing different actions: spinning, betting, autoplay, and help buttons. At the bottom of the screen, there’s an additional row for displaying various statistics such as bet level, win amount, total balance, and remaining spins.
Symbols The paytable consists of a variety of symbols inspired by farm life:
- Low-paying icons : Three different types of eggs (chick, duckling, and chicken egg) serve as the basic low-value symbols.
- Medium-paying icons : Farmers’ tools like rakes, shovels, hoes, and pitchforks comprise a group of medium-value symbols, often associated with farm chores.
- High-paying icons :
- Ginger (a character from the original movie), serving as the Wild symbol
- The ‘Chickens on Run’ icon is another high-value representation that triggers scatters
Payouts The game follows a standard paytable layout where each winning combination earns players based on the relative positions of matching symbols. Here’s how payouts for individual lines are calculated:
- Minimum bet: Starting with one cent (0.01) and up to five hundred dollars.
- Maximum win amount is 10,000 coins.
Wilds Ginger acts as a Wild icon in Chicken Run, appearing only on reels two through five. When she lands on these positions:
- Ginger expands horizontally across the entire reel for increased winning possibilities
- The game awards players an instant payout
Scatters The ‘Chickens’ scatter (the "chickens-on-run" logo) appears as a 2×3 stacked symbol, displaying six chicken icons. When this happens on reels one, three, or five:
- Scattering the chickens unlocks free spins.
When Ginger is in combination with scatters:
Bonus Features While there isn’t an official ‘bonus’ feature described by Yggdrasil Gaming for Chicken Run,
The Wild Chickens! feature provides a mechanism to win without triggering another special round – each time a wild symbol gets matched, the game adds free spins. This means you don’t actually have bonus rounds; just a progressive addition of extra chances (up until maximum ten).
