The Chicken Road series has been a staple in online casinos for quite some time now, with its unique blend of country-themed gameplay and exciting bonus features. The latest installment, Chicken Road 2, promises to bring even more excitement to the table, so let’s dive into an in-depth analysis of this game.
Theme and Design
As one would expect from a slot machine based on farm life, the theme of Chicken Road 2 Chicken Road 2 UK is centered around rural America, complete with rolling hills, barns, and of course, chickens. The design of the game is bright and colorful, making it easy to get immersed in the world. The background of each reel is comprised of different scenes from a typical country road, while the symbols themselves are well-drawn images that fit perfectly within the theme.
The control panel at the bottom of the screen is simple yet effective, with clear labels for adjusting the bet size and navigating through the game’s various features.
Symbols
As one would expect from a farm-themed slot machine, many of the symbols on Chicken Road 2 are related to rural life. These include:
- Chicken: This symbol serves as both the lowest-paying base-game symbol (up to 10x for five in a row) and as part of several bonus features.
- Piglet: The piglet is another low-payer, offering up to 8x for five across all active reels.
- Sheep: Representing yet another farm animal, sheep are worth up to 6x when collected from left to right on adjacent reels.
- Farmhouse: A farmhouse complete with a barnyard of chickens makes its way into the paytable as an additional symbol.
Payouts
Chicken Road 2 follows the standard pattern for payouts in most online slots. The game uses a grid of five reels, each populated by four symbols across five rows (20 total per reel). Players can adjust their bet size to suit their budget before playing, and winnings are awarded according to how many times they land winning combinations.
Some notable points about these payouts include the fact that only consecutive wins from left-to-right pay out; right-to-left winners do not appear in this game’s configuration. Moreover, all symbols are listed as paying across adjacent reels, excluding any scatters (we’ll discuss those below).
WILDS
Wild Symbols
Chicken Road 2 includes wilds, represented by the "chicken road" logo itself, which can replace most other symbols to help form winning combinations.
These chicken logos act just like they should – taking up space for either lower-paying farm animals or their own matching chickens. It’s worth mentioning that Chicken Wild (the single ‘Chicken Logo’) isn’t quite as powerful and won’t expand vertically nor horizontally but only cover the area when any of the chickens (or some other symbol, not including scatters) lands where it could contribute toward forming a paying line.
SCATTERS
Scatter Symbols
The most distinctive symbols in Chicken Road 2 are naturally going to be its two scatter icons – both appearing under various disguises which allow each win during normal gameplay or Free Spin rounds regardless of other lines’ status on those reels. We will review these features separately below, but for now know that Chicken and Horse farm animals become scatters too.
The payout details vary slightly depending on whether a single (the chicken), two, three or four scatter combinations appear across adjacent spaces within any one game’s configuration:
- 2 Scatters Award the same amount regardless of their location when found in 20.
- 3 Scatter will award according to an individual’s slotline win contribution percentage that depends directly upon how many matching scatters he finds themselves on top; and
- Four Scatters Win: For any number of Chicken Road winning lines active during a single round.
