The Chicken Road casino slot is a visually appealing game that captures the essence of rural Norwegian roads surrounded by lush forests and mountains. Designed by developers at Yggdrasil Gaming, this 5-reel, 3-row video slot offers an immersive gaming experience for players.
Theme Chicken Road and Design The game’s theme revolves around a picturesque landscape with winding mountain paths and towering trees in the background. Symbols on the reels include various road signs, animals such as sheep, rabbits, squirrels, wolves, foxes, owls, storks, vultures, eagles, hawks, birds of prey, deer, reindeer, elk moose, bears, wild boars, horses, and pigs, in addition to card values from 9 through Ace. Players will notice a blend of traditional Norwegian aesthetics combined with modern graphics.
Symbols The standard symbol paytable includes the following:
- Card values (9-Ace): pays between 0.30 and 5 times bet per combination
- Animals: pays between 0.50 and 25 times bet per combination Road signs have different rewards, ranging from x20 to x200 bets when matched across a winning line.
Payouts The slot’s payouts are based on the value of symbols that align from left to right along active paylines (from top-left to bottom-right only) with no exceptions for any Wild or Scatter symbol combinations. A full house or higher is not present in this game, and players must be aware that while road signs offer moderate rewards compared to animals, standard card values do not pay a significant amount when matched.
Wilds There are two types of wilds: Standard Wild (substitutes for any other regular symbol) and Road Sign Wild, which is only active during the Free Spins Feature. However, no ‘Expanding’ or ‘Sticky’ type of Wild exists in this slot game, limiting potential combinations to just a single Standard Wild on each reel.
Scatters The Scatter pays regardless of where it appears but awards 1x bet per Scatter only when one lands; no additional value is given if more land. At least three Scatters landing within any spin allows access to the Free Spins feature, which gives players ten rounds with increasing multipliers starting at x2.
Bonus Features The main Bonus Feature is the "Free Spin Feature," which can be activated by hitting 3 or more Scatter symbols on reels 1 through 4 simultaneously.
- During this bonus round, each of your winning combinations will have its original multiplier doubled.
- No Wild symbol replaces any standard symbol within a Free Spins mode. The maximum win during the free spin feature has no limit but is based solely upon landing a single road sign with an x200-bet pay when combined with Road Sign Wilds (which does not occur normally).
Free Spins As mentioned, hitting three or more Scatters awards ten spins as Free Spins. With increasing multipliers starting from 2x per spin on each win, the maximum multiplier can potentially reach up to an astonishing 128x in total over these extra rounds.
RTP and Volatility Yggdrasil Gaming lists this slot’s RTP at a rate of approximately 96%, categorized as High-Medium volatility due to high frequency spikes from single-reel road sign matches alongside random drops of Free Spins that allow multipliers but limit player wins on base game symbols.
