The Great Escape in Chicken Run Slots

Chicken Run is a 5-reel online video slot game developed by Microgaming. The game is based on the popular animated film of the same name, which was released in 2000. In this review, we will take an in-depth look at the theme, design, symbols, payouts, and features that make up this exciting casino slot.

Theme and Design

The Chicken Run slot takes players to the fictional farm of Ratigan, where a group of plump and energetic chickens are trying to escape from their evil Chicken Run farmer. The game’s design is colorful and cartoonish, with each reel featuring 5 symbols adorned in an animated style reminiscent of the film. In the background, you’ll find a rolling landscape of hills, farms, and countryside views.

As players join the escapade, they will encounter various characters from the movie, including Rocky the Rooster, Ginger the hen, and other farm animals. The game’s soundtrack is equally immersive, with sound effects that bring the farm to life.

Symbols

The Chicken Run slot features a mix of standard playing card symbols (10-A) alongside specialized icons that evoke the film’s characters. These include:

  • Ginger the hen: This symbol offers payouts ranging from 5x up to 200x the bet.
  • Rocky the Rooster: Similar rewards are offered with this character, worth between 3x and 150x.
  • The Farmer (Jack Petchey): A scowling face who is quite infamous in the film. When he lands on a reel, players can expect wins of up to 100x their bet.
  • The Farm animals: Cats, Dogs, Hens, Pigeons – all feature as part-animals that contribute differently for payouts (2x – 50x).
  • Eggs and Nests are also available as low value symbols.

Payouts

In the Chicken Run slot, there is no fixed progressive jackpot. Instead, it offers three types of jackpots in addition to a non-progressive top reward worth £100,000:

  1. The first tier features payouts of up to 200x (or five coins times stake for any single combo with Ginger).
  2. A minimum 150x win per line payout when landing 5 Rocky Rooster symbols on active paylines.
  3. Maximum winnings vary depending upon what combination occurs in the game, which will have an upper limit set at maximum £100,000 jackpot value.

Wilds

As a wild symbol, Rocky the rooster can substitute any other icons and act as multiple Wild ones – when you land him on reel 1 it doubles his potential output for combinations, even up to seven! In general he doesn’t come with multipliers; this has more than made sense by giving space elsewhere.

Scatters

The Egg of Fortune is the only scatter symbol available in Chicken Run slots. It can appear anywhere and activates a bonus round when three or five show at once during normal play – these have an extra special win condition due to specific rewards based off what landed earlier on reels two through four during initial games round; (winning up 30x total potential). When you see these icons landing, your chances of getting them may just have increased!

Bonus Features

  1. Free Spins : This happens when the Egg of Fortune hits anywhere and you’re given ten free spins. Free rounds feature an even greater variety – three possible Wilds at once on two adjacent reels are added to any combination made during those extra opportunities. Wins also gain from multipliers now set up with special eggs showing how successful some can actually turn out!

Other Bonus Feature: The Great Escape

Activating this will result in a 2nd bonus round where five of these characters must all escape their enclosures through a "Great Wall" – escaping successfully awards more spins or a cash prize depending on what player had accomplished previously – however only up to three rewards occur per completion!
