The Chicken Road 2 casino slot machine is a sequel to the original game, built by software provider Playson. As its name suggests, the theme of this online slot revolves around farming and rural life, with chickens being the main characters.
Design
In terms of design, the Chicken Road 2 slot boasts vibrant and colorful graphics that are Chicken Road 2 typical of modern online slots. The game features a standard 5×3 reel layout with ten fixed paylines. Upon loading the game, players will notice a serene countryside landscape serving as the background, complete with rolling hills, green fields, and a sunny sky.
Characters
The slot’s symbols are divided into two categories: low-value and high-value characters. The latter category includes several farm-themed animals such as chickens, cows, pigs, sheep, and horses. Additionally, there is an egg-laying chicken that serves as the highest-paying symbol in this game.
On the other hand, the low-value symbols include card ranks from 9 to Ace. These symbols appear only on middle reels (2-4) due to the fixed paylines configuration.
Payouts and Multipliers
As for payouts, they are relatively standard compared to most online slots. Winning combinations reward players with a fixed number of coins multiplied by their stake per line, as shown in the slot’s payout table. The egg-laying chicken symbol pays out 2000 coins when five land on an active payline.
It is worth noting that while there isn’t a dedicated multiplier feature, certain symbols can trigger multiple wins simultaneously due to stacked wilds and scatters (explained below).
Wild Symbols
Chicken Road 2 has two types of wilds: standard and stackable. Standard wilds substitute for any other symbol in the game except for free spin triggers or bonus scatter symbols.
However, when five standard wilds appear on adjacent reels (all middle positions), they can expand to create a complete payline. The expanded reel does not trigger re-spin but provides an additional winning combination upon the next normal spin.
Additionally, there is a ‘Free Spins’ symbol that acts as both free spins and wild symbols simultaneously in case it lands within a payline while triggering the Bonus feature (discussed below).
Scatter Symbols
Chicken Road 2 uses scatters to award bonus features and trigger specific game modes. Two scatter combinations are available:
- 3 Scattered Farmhouses on reels 1, 2, or 3 unlock ‘Free Spins’
- 5+ scattered Free Spin symbols appearing anywhere initiate the "Bonus" feature.
Scatters also serve as wilds in case they land within an active payline while triggering specific bonuses; their role is interchangeable based upon bonus mode selection.
Bonus Features and Free Spins
Chicken Road 2 has two distinct types of bonus games available:
- Free Spins : Activated when three scattered Farmhouses are anywhere in reels 1, 2 or 3. The number of spins awarded depends on how many scatters appear.
In free spins mode, the slot maintains all standard winning rules and conditions, including payouts and stackable wilds, with an increased multiplier for consecutive wins due to expanded reel feature usage during gameplay (explained above).
- Bonus : Engaged by landing 5+ scattered ‘Free Spin’ symbols on any reel combination. The player can choose one of five different bonus game modes:
- Farm Feature Bonus
- Each time the selected farm is visited, a new stackable wild symbol or win multiplier appears for use during regular gameplay.
- Fowl Play Wilds & Multiplier Free Spins
- This mode includes multipliers and extra free spins but restricts use of expanding reels from triggering re-spins (normal behavior in expanded reels).
- Farm Feature Bonus
- Hatched Bonus
- Every time the selected egg-hatching animal appears, an increased multiplier or additional stacked wild is awarded for a limited number of further regular spin rounds.
- Bonus Reel Mode
- An extra 4th reel added on left side increases win possibilities but reduces payout values significantly.
- Every time the selected egg-hatching animal appears, an increased multiplier or additional stacked wild is awarded for a limited number of further regular spin rounds.
