Chicken Road is a 5-reel slot machine game developed by Endorphina, a renowned provider of online casino games. As its name suggests, the theme revolves around an adventurous journey down a rustic country road surrounded by lush greenery and animated animals.

Design and timon-project.eu Theme

Upon launching the game, players are transported to a serene countryside setting, complete with rolling hills, verdant forests, and a picturesque road that winds through it all. The backdrop of the game features a beautifully designed 3D model of trees and foliage, which animates periodically to give the impression of movement. The overall aesthetic is tranquil and inviting.

The reels are situated in the foreground, and each one is framed by ornate wooden planks with intricately carved designs. When wins occur, animated birds fly onto the screen from beneath the reels, adding a delightful touch of whimsy. Throughout the game, players will notice subtle visual details such as water features like streams and ponds that complement the natural theme.

Symbols

The paytable is populated by various animal symbols that reflect the farm-to-table atmosphere of Chicken Road:

1. High-paying animals : A donkey (5x for a win), a goat (4x), a sheep (3x), a chicken (2x)
2. Medium-paying flowers and fruits : Wildflower, Sunflower, Apple
3. Low-paying items : Wooden fence post (1x) and an Acorn

Payouts

Each of these symbols has its own unique payout structure:

• Donkey: 5-of-a-kind pays up to 1000 times the bet
• Goat: 5-of-a-kind pays up to 400 times the bet
• Sheep: 5-of-a-kind pays up to 200 times the bet
• Chicken: 5-of-a-kind pays up to 150 times the bet

The lower-paying symbols, such as flowers and fruits, will pay smaller amounts for their respective combinations.

Wilds

In this game, two wild characters are available:

1. Rooster Wild : Appears on reels 2-4 only

   • It can serve as a substitute for any other symbol (except Scatter)
   • Also offers higher payouts than the basic chicken symbols

2. Chicken Wild :

   • Similar to Rooster Wild, appearing only on reels 2-4 and acting as substitutes
   • Provides moderate payouts compared to Chicken scatter wins.

Scatters

The game introduces two types of scatters:

1. Sheep Scatter : Rewards players for any number of occurrences in the reels (in any direction)

   • Triggers free spins when three or more appear on an active payline

2. Chicken Scatter : 3-of-a-kind activates Chicken Rush feature

   • Offers a random wild multiplier applied across all non-wild combinations during that round.

Bonus Features

There are two bonus features:

1. Free Spins

   • When three or more Sheep scatter symbols land on the reels (in any direction), ten free spins will be awarded, including multipliers and stacked Rooster Wilds

2. Chicken Rush : Activated by landing 3 Chicken scatters in a row

   • Multiplier is set randomly between 5 to x15.

Gameplay

Each game starts with the option to place bets ranging from $0.10 to $100, making it accessible for both casual players and high rollers.

Players can choose one of four denominations: 1c (€0.01), 2c (€0.02), €1 or €5

The minimum bet size is set at $/€ 20; a significant figure considering other slots in the same provider’s portfolio.

For each spin, you will need to match symbols and combinations of these by matching winning patterns on adjacent reels (either horizontally from left to right).

Volatility

Chicken Road operates under medium volatility. Given its range, bet size starts small while expanding, allowing for both frequent wins & massive payouts that can go beyond a single session.

While the initial spins might yield less rewarding outcomes due to reduced base rewards compared other Endorphina slots, higher risks are rewarded significantly with 5+ scatters or wild combinations occurring occasionally during extended sessions.
