Chicken Road Slots Gaming Experience Review
Introduction
Located on a seemingly ordinary road lined with dusty trucks and rickety motels, Chicken Road is an online slots game that dares to be different. This 5-reel, 25-payline game by renowned developer, Dragon’s Den Games, sets out to transport players to the American heartland in search of the ultimate cash prize. With a rustic theme that brings to mind sun-scorched highways and worn-in jeans, Chicken Road promises a thrilling adventure where farm-fresh surprises await around Chicken Road every corner.
Gameplay Mechanics
One of the first things you’ll notice about Chicken Road is its reliance on classic slots mechanics. The game features five reels with three rows each, set against the backdrop of an open road that stretches as far as the eye can see. Players are presented with 25 fixed paylines to win on, making it easy to keep track of potential combinations without getting bogged down in complicated rules. When a winning combination lands on multiple lines, winnings are tallied up and added together to create one big score.
The core gameplay revolves around simple wins based on standard symbol values: numerals 9-10 have the lowest payouts (2x – 5x total bet), while letters Q-V offer mid-range rewards of 15x -25x. However, this simplicity gives way to a complex interplay between wilds and scatters that unlock bonus features.
Wild & Scatter Symbols
Two special symbols make their appearance in Chicken Road: the ‘Free Roaming Chick’ (wild) and the ‘Scattered Highway Sign’. The Free Roaming Chick functions as a classic substitute for any symbol except scatter. In this capacity, it greatly increases chances of creating winning combinations by stepping into the void left behind by high-value letters or symbols. When multiple wilds appear in succession on adjacent reels within an active payline, they multiply the value of the highest-paying winning combination.
On the other hand, the Scattered Highway Sign serves as a portal to the game’s bonus features when two or three are spun simultaneously anywhere on the playing field.
Free Spins Bonus & Road Map
Speaking of those road trips – it seems you’ve caught the attention of Chicken Road’s very own hitchhiker. Three scattered highway signs bring forth 10, 15 or 20 free spins depending upon their distribution across reels (5-4 respectively). Now comes the thrilling part: The hitchhiker will guide your adventure by traveling along a ‘Road Map’, an animated chart on screen showcasing progress through the map as you rack up points.
During this feature, not only are prizes multiplied but every win comes with an increased multiplier from 2x upwards. Additionally, Wild Chickens (those Free Roaming Chicks) now have special powers – depending upon where they appear along the road: at intersections or when on-line symbols in direct proximity to other cars.
In a unique twist that heightens tension, bonus rounds can only be initiated once all accumulated multipliers (each time 5x-10x multiplier wins land on different reels) go under the ‘Finish Line’, thus giving a reason for an exhilarating run of multiple wilds and scatters.
Bonus Features & Variations
We’ll talk about Free Spins in more detail below, but Chicken Road doesn’t hold back when it comes to other exciting features. In fact, there’s one other major attraction: The “Rearranged Route” mini-game which kicks off with 2 highway signs being activated during an initial game session – and if two are simultaneously seen on adjacent reels in a non-triggered spin (or ‘detour’) that bonus is instantly locked.
At this stage the Free Roaming Chick will go wilder than usual but unlike other times they must only appear horizontally across entire reels making 3 consecutive, high-value combinations impossible even with maximum bet and perfect arrangement – another unique design choice of Chicken Road.
