Design & Theme
One can’t help but notice that Chicken Road exudes a laid-back, countryside vibe as soon as you spin its reels. Set against a sunny backdrop Chicken Road trusted of green hills and rolling farms, the symbols themselves are an amalgamation of chicken-themed delights. You’ll find cartoonish chickens in various colors – pink, red, blue, yellow – each taking on different roles within the game. These whimsical designs are complemented by traditional slot machine elements like card suits (A to 10), a farm cart, and what looks suspiciously like an exploding egg. The end result is a visually appealing interface that invites you in without appearing too tacky.
Symbols
The list of symbols on Chicken Road’s paytable features:
- Low-value cards: A, K, Q, J (0.1x to 0.5x bet)
- Farm cart: 1x, 2x, or 3x multiplier
- Exploding egg:
- Basic explosion: triggers a feature that could add up to 4 wilds on the reels
- Super explosion: adds more than one type of wild (explained below)
These symbols are interwoven with regular, standard chicken icons featuring different plumage colors.
Payout & Wilds
Wins in Chicken Road depend on combinations of five or more matching chicken symbols. Each color-specific chicken carries a unique payout multiplier ranging from 1x to 2x (or occasionally higher), depending on the specific color combination achieved:
