Chicken Road is a farm-themed online casino slot developed by Quickspin, a renowned Swedish game studio known for its high-quality slots. This 5-reel, 3-row video slot features 243 ways to win and a variety of engaging gameplay elements that cater to both casual and experienced players.
Theme and Design
The game’s theme revolves around the countryside, where players are immersed in a serene farm landscape filled with chickens, tractors, and other rural scenery. The design is colorful Chicken Road and vibrant, with cartoon-style graphics that bring the characters to life. The background of the reels features a sunny day scene, complete with fluffy white clouds and lush greenery.
The game’s symbols include low-paying cards (9-A) in their standard font style but are also illustrated with farm-themed icons such as chickens, tractors, eggs, and hay bales. Higher-value symbols are represented by farm animals like cows, pigs, and sheep. Each symbol is meticulously designed to fit the rural theme.
Symbols
The low-paying cards (9-A) in Chicken Road offer minimal payouts but serve as a starting point for building winning combinations. These symbols appear on reels 1-5 and provide small wins when matching three or more of a kind across adjacent reels.
On the other hand, farm-themed higher-value symbols like chickens, tractors, eggs, hay bales, cows, pigs, sheep, geese, turkeys, ducks, horses, donkeys, rabbits, and cats offer increased payouts for matching four-of-a-kind combinations on consecutive reels. These symbols are relatively scarce but provide a significant boost to winnings when matched.
Payouts
The paytable of Chicken Road lists the potential payouts for each symbol combination. For example, three chickens in a row award 1.2x bet while five geese give players 25x their stake. The highest payout goes to landing six ducks or horses across all reels at an astonishing 1000x the initial wager.
The winning combinations pay from left-to-right and only count for consecutive symbols starting with reel one. This means that a three-truck combination on reels 2-4 doesn’t qualify as a win, but a truck symbol in this position will contribute to another possible three-of-a-kind payout if more matching trucks appear on subsequent reels.
Wilds
Chicken Road features two distinct wild symbols: the Wild Chick and the Golden Egg. Both act similarly by substituting for other symbols (except the scatter icon) within combinations. Their primary function is to help create winning sequences or enhance existing payouts when combined with high-value farm animals. However, they cannot trigger bonus rounds on their own.
Wild Chicks are more common than Golden Eggs but equally useful in creating larger rewards during regular gameplay. Players may see either a Wild Chick or a Golden Egg land randomly across the reels as part of standard spins without triggering special features.
