The Chicken Run online slot game is a farm-themed video slots developed by Red Tiger Gaming, based on the popular British stop-motion animated comedy film of the same name released in 2000. The movie’s theme revolves around an escape plan hatched by Ginger, a plump but feisty chicken, to free her fellow egg-layers from their evil farmer, Chicken Run who intends to make them into foie gras.
Game Design
The Chicken Run slot features a standard 5×4 reel grid with 25 fixed paylines. The game has been designed using cartoonish graphics and is set on the farm where Ginger hatched her plan for escape. The background animation shows the various characters from the movie, including Rocky the rooster and Fowler the evil farmer.
Symbols
The slot features high-quality animations that bring the symbols to life. There are a mix of standard card numbers (9-A) along with theme-related icons like chickens, eggs, farms, and planes. The most rewarding symbol in this game is Ginger, which offers up to 5x multiplier on paylines.
Payouts
The payout for each spin depends on the total value of winnings from all active lines multiplied by the winning combination’s odds per win (which can range from x0.1 to x10). The minimum and maximum bets are set at £/$/€ 0.20 – £/$/€ 100, which is relatively low compared to other video slots available online.
Wilds
The game offers two types of wild symbols: the Wild icon that substitutes all standard symbol combinations except Scatters. A second ‘Rocky’ wild will double any winning combination and substitute Ginger for a bigger win potential.
Scatters
Ginger, when appearing 3x in a spin on an active line, triggers a Free Spin feature which gives you free spins with stacked symbols added to the reels until all your friends are rescued from farm jail. If she appears 4 times, players get the ‘Double Chicken Dash’ bonus (double chances at any chicken). Having Ginger appear 5 times results in Double Scatters: twice as many free spin rewards.
Bonus Features
The Free Spins round grants up to 10 free spins with a stacked wild added on each. The ‘Scattered Hatching Eggs’ bonus gives you multiple combinations of the same egg symbol on reels that were previously unscathed by Ginger.
Gameplay Experience
In general, this game offers smooth animations and decent music scores while providing a fun experience for players who enjoy themed slots with clear objectives such as the "Chicken Rescue" round which features flying chickens to chase. A special bonus of landing more egg symbols in your Free Spins rewards increases chances at bigger cash gains through potential ‘flock’ wins.
Mobile Play
The slot is fully optimized to work seamlessly across various mobile platforms (including iOS and Android). Players can enjoy the same user experience on their smartphone or tablet, with some additional benefits like smaller minimum bet amounts for more manageable gameplay sessions while out traveling.
