In recent years, casino slots have become increasingly diverse, offering players a wide range of themes and designs to choose from. One such theme that has gained popularity is farm-based or chicken-themed slots, where players are immersed in the world of clucking hens and other farm animals. One notable example of this type of slot is Chicken Chicken Road game demo Road by InOut, a game developer known for their creative and engaging titles.
Theme
Chicken Road is set on a rural road lined with barns, tractors, and fields filled with chickens pecking at the ground. The background music features a gentle country tune that sets a soothing atmosphere, transporting players to a peaceful countryside setting. The overall theme of the game revolves around farm life, where hens are hard at work laying eggs for the day’s market.
Design
Graphically, Chicken Road is visually appealing, with vibrant colors and intricate details. Each symbol is designed with care, from the smiling chicken hens to the traditional barn doors and rolling fields filled with corn stalks and wheat. The slot machine itself has a 5×4 grid layout, with a total of 1024 ways to win (as opposed to the more common payline system). Players can choose between various bet sizes, ranging from as low as $0.10 up to $200.
Symbols
The game features six main symbols, each representing different farm-related items:
- High-paying symbols include three chicken-themed icons: a smiling hen with two chicks ($25, $75), an egg-laying hen ($20, $60), and the "chicken farmer" logo symbolizing good fortune ($50).
- Medium-payout symbols are a tractor ($10, $30) and farm tools like a watering can ($8, $24).
- Low-paying symbols comprise three card suit icons: clubs, spades, and hearts.
Each of these symbols has varying payouts depending on the number landed in a single spin. Some special features also allow for higher multipliers or extra rewards, but we’ll delve into those details later.
Payouts
Chicken Road follows standard slot payout rules, where wins are awarded based on symbol combinations along any payline (in this case, 1024 ways). Wins range from as low as $0.10 per spin up to higher amounts depending on the specific combination of high-paying symbols landed in a single go.
Here is an example breakdown for some winning combinations:
- Three identical hens with two chicks: $25
- Two tractors and one egg-laying hen or three clubs/spades/hearts symbols: $8-$24
- Single tractor, watering can, farmer’s logo symbol: $10-$50
Keep in mind that payouts vary widely depending on the combination of winning symbols landed.
Wilds
One interesting mechanic used in Chicken Road is the presence of special "WILD" hen and rooster logos. These serve as wild cards and can substitute for other characters to create more combinations, thus increasing winnings potential when paired with low-paying card suits or farm tool symbols.
These WILD icons have a bright color palette that matches the overall theme’s cheerful atmosphere. While they’re useful in expanding winning opportunities, we’ll explore their role further below alongside another crucial feature called Scatters.
Scatters
Next to wilds are special scatter icons representing stars ($50). These distinctively designed symbols don’t require any alignment and will trigger bonus features whenever three or more appear anywhere on the reels. There’s no fixed "Free Spins" screen as often found in slot machines – instead, this design provides for instant rewards directly within gameplay.
We’ll dive deeper into both wilds and scatters further down to understand their specific mechanics.
Bonus Features
Chicken Road includes an exciting farm-fresh spin on classic bonus features: Egg-throwing Mechanics. Three stars (scatters) will award you three Bonus Rounds, but here’s the twist – in each round, you get 3 spins with a fixed value of $10; after which you’re presented with up to ten free throws at a stationary barn door that swings shut periodically as players roll virtual dice. Your aim? Knock down farm eggs hidden behind it by rolling numbers from one-to-six or "Bonus" and "Wild".
These Egg-throws serve two purposes: they add an enjoyable, timed aspect while generating additional prizes based on your performance throughout these bonus rounds (in the form of multiplier rewards). Upon completion, you’ll receive a multi-rolled value as part of the accumulated wins collected from all Bonus Round throws.
Here’s an in-depth explanation of how Egg-throws work:
- Initial Three Stars Award – 3 Free Spins with $10 Each ($30 Maximum)
- 3 Bonuses or Wilds Throw Rounds at Barn Doors
Each Roll Adds Multiplier Rewards To Accumulated Wins
Rolling Numbers One-To-Six Generates A Higher Multiplier (Starting From Two X, Up To Six)
Bonus Rolls Can Re-Generate New Game-Changing Bonus Multipliers
Wildcard ‘Wild’ Symbol Enhances Odds For Free Spins & Multiplier Success During Egg Throwing Rounds
