The Chicken Road casino slot is a game developed by Playson, a software provider specializing in developing online slots for various gaming platforms. This game combines classic fruit machines with an adventurous road trip Chicken Road theme, allowing players to experience a thrilling ride while trying their luck at winning.
Theme and Design
Upon starting the game, players are transported to a virtual open road filled with vibrant colors and energetic graphics. The background is depicted as a winding highway lined with palm trees and billboards advertising various products. In contrast, the symbols displayed on the reels feature colorful fruits, classic sevens, bars, and playing cards from 9 to Ace. These standard fruit machine elements are combined with stylized avatars representing different characters: Ginger, Banger, and Hagen. The latter two seem inspired by well-known actors.
The slot’s layout consists of five reels arranged in a 5×3 grid, accommodating up to 25 paylines for various combinations. Each reel has its own unique design element; for instance, the fourth reel features golden arches that change color depending on the symbol combination appearing there. A bonus meter resides at the top-left corner, showing which rewards and free spins remain.
Symbols and Payouts
The Chicken Road slot includes a variety of symbols, each contributing differently to winnings according to their rarity and assigned points values:
- Classic playing cards (9-Ace): 0.4x, 0.6x, or 1.2x bet
- Bars: 10-50x stake
- Fruits (Grapes, Plums, Oranges, Apples, Cherries): 5-100x stakes
- Avatars: Ginger and Banger provide rewards for specific combinations but are also high-value symbols that offer substantial multipliers when participating in feature games.
- Scatter & Wild symbols
The Wild symbol is represented by a chicken wearing shades. It can act as any other regular reel icon to help players win combinations.
