Chicken Road is a casino slot game developed by InOut, a relatively new but rapidly growing name in the world of online gaming. The game offers an entertaining mix of classic fruit machine gameplay and modern features that cater to both seasoned players and newcomers alike.
Theme and Design
The game’s theme revolves around country roads, complete with signs, trees, and even a few chickens scattered about. While not particularly original, the design is visually appealing and helps create an immersive atmosphere. The game’s Chicken Road for free backdrop features a scenic landscape that transitions seamlessly as players progress through various rounds.
Colors and Graphics
The color palette is primarily earthy tones with accents of bright blue for added visual interest. Symbols include classic fruits like plums, grapes, oranges, lemons, bells, 7s, stars, and dollar signs. Some symbols also feature cartoon-style chickens that complement the game’s theme nicely.
Symbols
The payout structure is relatively standard fare with most high-paying symbols offering returns ranging from x10 to x50 times the initial bet for a matching combination of five in a row (from left to right, across adjacent positions). Bells and 7s offer slightly lower payouts at up to x25. Filling each position on a payline completely rewards players with an additional prize.
Wild Symbol
Chicken Road doesn’t feature a traditional Wild symbol that can substitute for other symbols in wins or act as bonus activators (more about bonus features below). However, it does introduce the concept of ‘expanding wilds’ – a special case where landing five identical high-value chicken scatter symbols triggers an expansion across all adjacent reel positions.
Payout Table and Payout Structure
In terms of actual payouts, players can expect average returns ranging from 10x to 50x their initial bet for the most common combinations. High-value winning combinations reward significantly higher at up to x100 times the starting amount per individual combination. To illustrate this in more concrete numbers: assuming a $1 minimum bet and an additional maximum possible win limit of ($2500), we could anticipate average, high-value wins falling between these upper limits.
Payout Multipliers for Specific Combinations
As can be seen from the game’s payout structure information (displayed on the official InOut website or within in-game menu options) and our analysis, here is a list of actual return multipliers for Chicken Road:
- Plums: x25
- Grapes: x50
- Oranges: x40
- Lemons: $10 – x30
- Bell symbols: $5 -$20 ($15)
- 7s: $2 – $7.6 ($3.8) per combination
- Star: $4 Dollar Sign (highest-paying): up to x100 times initial amount
Scatters and Bonus Features
The chicken symbol serves as a Scatter in Chicken Road, potentially rewarding a generous number of Free Spins or Multipliers when landed correctly. Landing at least five identical high-value scatter symbols triggers an expanding wild that will expand across all reels (positions 1 through 5).
Chicken Expands Feature
When landing the required combination of chicken symbols for expansion, they ‘fill’ adjacent reel spaces so no additional scatters appear in these areas; any standard or lower-payout winning combinations won during this round have increased value due to wild chickens spanning across all positions.
Additionally, an expanding Chicken symbol unlocks the Free Spins feature which rewards 12 games of uninterrupted gaming action with guaranteed multipliers applied throughout each spin – up to x10 on standard symbols (paytable) and four sets possible at most ($80) but we’ve mentioned those higher limits already above as per payout table rules displayed upon official InOut pages.
Free Spins Feature
Free spins start automatically after a minimum winning combination is achieved featuring an expansion of wild chickens to fill remaining reel slots (adjacent positions), granting high multipliers applied on each round that will appear randomly for maximum player success probability throughout the sessions while no wagering requirements are required during this phase except naturally placing your bet which triggers subsequent rounds.
Free Spins can be triggered as follows:
- Five chicken symbols landing anywhere across any reels position within game, (i.e., including scatter wins)
- Each chicken counts toward minimum requirement of five needed to initiate round so filling each reel from left to right – starting at least three instances already gives +$5 and two will award a higher $10
- When an entire 5-spot sequence filled entirely with the same fruit wins while standard reels or wilds do not appear – providing multiple matching symbols within that slot area does give even more value (up x12 but maxed on single side).
Feature Summary
Chicken Road’s free spins mode is somewhat unique due to its expansive Wild symbol capabilities which can fill multiple adjacent reel positions including standard & Wilds – though we need mention about limited instances within certain win structures that have yet more value – (max bet x6 during spin phases but up $0,40 in normal play).
