The Chicken Run casino slots machine is a video slot game developed by NextGen Gaming, based on the popular stop-motion animated film of the same name released in 2000. The game is designed to provide an immersive and engaging experience for players who enjoy classic cartoon-style graphics and humor.
Theme and Design
As expected from its title, the Chicken Run slots machine features a farmyard theme where players are transported into the world of chickens running away from evil clutches. Upon entering the game, players are greeted by colorful visuals and whimsical sound Chicken Run free demo effects reminiscent of cartoons from their childhood. The backdrop is set against a sunny farm setting with rolling hills and buildings, adding to the light-hearted atmosphere.
The reels are set within individual boxes resembling chicken coops, each containing its respective symbols or characters from the original film. The overall design effectively blends nostalgia for fans of the movie while also appealing to those new to the series.
Symbols
As players begin spinning the reels, they encounter a variety of themed symbols including but not limited to: Chickens, Farmer (the antagonist), Gunsella (the hero chicken), and other memorable characters from the film. Each symbol is carefully crafted in cartoonish style with vibrant colors that add to the game’s visual appeal.
High-value symbols include:
- 5 high-paying chickens
- The Hero Chicken, Gunsella
- Evil Farmer
Low-value symbols are represented by playing card suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) painted in colorful ways to fit the slot machine’s theme.
Payouts
Winning combinations on Chicken Run slots occur when matching three or more identical symbols appear consecutively from leftmost reel starting with any combination of chicken reels. The payouts are proportional to the value and rarity of each symbol. Gunsella serves as a higher-paying high-value chicken due to her starring role.
Wilds
The ‘Fertile Egg’ acts as a Wild in Chicken Run slots, substituting for regular symbols except scatters to help create winning combinations more frequently. The wild can also expand when a full reel is completely covered by Fertile Eggs on specific spins during the Free Games feature discussed below.
Scatters
Three or four ‘Chicken Coop’ scatter symbols anywhere across the reels initiate different numbers of free games – 10 and 20 respectively, with five triggering up to 50 rounds. No additional wagering requirement exists for unlocking this bonus round beyond matching any combination required for a standard spin win using scatters.
Bonus Features
When spinning during Free Games, special features become more likely:
- Expanding Wilds : Covered reels filled completely by Fertile Eggs turn wild upon each individual Fertile Egg expanding into wild symbols.
- Wild Re-spins : If 4 or more high-paying chickens (including Gunsella) occupy the first four reel positions after triggering a re-spin feature during Free Games, players are awarded additional free games without losing any won prizes.
The slot machine also includes an innovative ‘Chickens Run Away’ system; when triggering a spin with one specific chicken occupying all five reels from left to right in that order starting at far left column and going towards the other four columns while still inside this main bonus round space. This Chicken will begin running through wild reels creating expanding Fertile Eggs for extra Wild combinations – but it won’t trigger more than 20 total free games beyond an initial award.
