Chicken Run is a 5-reel, 20-payline online slots game developed by NetEnt, one of the leading software providers in the iGaming industry. The game is based on the popular movie of the same name and follows the storyline of a group of chickens attempting to escape from an evil farmer’s farm.
Theme
The theme of Chicken Run is centered around farming and animals, with bright and colorful graphics that bring the game to Chicken Run life. The background of the reels shows a sunny day in a rural setting, complete with green fields and a large barn on the horizon. The game’s title, "Chicken Run", appears above the reels in bold letters.
Design
The game’s design is simple yet effective, with clear lines separating each reel and payline. Each symbol is carefully designed to fit within the theme of the game, from the classic farm animals like chickens, pigs, sheep, and horses, to more abstract symbols such as carrots, eggs, and a miniature windmill.
Symbols
The game’s paytable is filled with various animal symbols, each representing different rewards. The lower-paying symbols include the letter "A", "K", "Q", "J", 10, and 9, while the higher-paying animals are represented by the pig (3x multiplier), sheep (2x multiplier), chicken (1.5x multiplier), horse (1.25x multiplier), and goat (1x multiplier). The highest paying symbol is Ginger the Chicken, which can reward up to 400 times a player’s total bet.
Payouts
The payout structure of Chicken Run follows standard slot machine rules, with players winning based on the combination of symbols landing in consecutive order from left to right. The game offers multiple betting options, ranging from €0.20 per spin up to €50, making it accessible to both low and high-stakes players.
Wilds
Ginger the Chicken acts as a Wild symbol, replacing any other animal icon in the paytable to help create more winning combinations. Additionally, the Wild can also act as a multiplier when landing on multiple positions within a single spin. If Ginger is part of a 3x or higher payout combination with another animal, she becomes a substitute and will multiply its winnings by her corresponding value.
Scatters
The Scattered Coop symbol represents free spins. To win the Free Spins feature, players need to collect at least three Scattered symbols anywhere on the reels during a single spin. The number of scatters earned determines how many extra turns are awarded – 2-4 for two, four, or five Coops respectively.
