Overview
Chicken Run is a popular casino slot developed by Ainsworth Game Technology (AGT), an Australian gaming software company. The game was released around 2019 and has been well-received among players for its entertaining theme, engaging gameplay, Chicken Run and generous payouts. As with most online slots, Chicken Run is based on the concept of farming chickens, but it brings a unique twist to this classic idea.
Theme
The slot’s theme revolves around a group of plump and lively hens who are planning an escape from their farm prison. The game features colorful graphics and 3D animations that create an immersive atmosphere for players. As they spin the reels, players are surrounded by rolling hills, windmills, and rustic buildings typical of rural landscapes.
Design
Chicken Run is a standard video slot with five reels and three rows, consisting of thirty-five paylines. The game’s design features bright colors and fun animations that add to its charm. Symbols include various farm animals such as hens, roosters, ducks, pigs, cows, and even bees buzzing around the flowers.
The background image is designed like a barnyard scene with grassy hills in the distance, setting the mood for an idyllic escape from the farm. To enhance player interaction, interactive sound effects accompany various events during gameplay.
Symbols
Regular symbols are divided into two categories: high and low-value icons. High-paying symbols represent the featured animals mentioned earlier, while lower paying ones depict playing card suit hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades in standard font sizes but with a playful farm twist.
A Wild Egg icon is the scatter symbol that activates the slot’s bonus features when multiple appear across reels two to five at once (minimum three required). No free spins can be triggered without meeting these criteria; otherwise, an ordinary payout will occur instead.
Payouts
In Chicken Run, payouts are calculated by using a standard 32/64 multiplier system combined with any applicable multipliers applied from active special features like Wild Egg and Scatter Farm symbols occurring elsewhere on the grid.
Some examples of potential combinations include:
- A single chicken can offer up to $50 when matching five wilds within one line.
- Combining multiple wild cards will multiply payouts accordingly according to their combination counts across respective groups; e.g., 1x, x2+ another group’s result times two total combinations (wild).
