Fowl Play at Chicken Run Slot Machines

The Chicken Run slot machine is a farm-themed online slot developed by Microgaming, one of the leading software providers in the iGaming industry. This 5-reel, 243-ways-to-win slot game draws inspiration from the 2000 animated film "Chicken Run" and its 2019 sequel. The game’s theme revolves around Ginger, a clever and resourceful chicken who attempts to outsmart her farmer oppressors.

Design

At first glance, the Chicken Run slot machine appears to be a visually stunning representation of the iconic movie characters. The game is set on a farm backdrop, complete with rolling hills, fields, and Chicken Run farm buildings. Players are transported to an idyllic English countryside scene as Ginger and her friends frolick in the background.

The reel symbols feature Ginger, the main protagonist, along with other lovable character designs from the movies. These include Piper, Bunty, Buck, and Maurey, each having distinct personality traits that shine through their animations and voiceovers.

Symbols

In addition to the main characters as high-paying symbols (x10 bet for five in a row), there are several low-paying farm-themed icons that players will encounter while spinning. These include:

• A basket filled with eggs (£1 x 5 bet)
• Chicken nuggets (£0.50 x 5 bet)
• Chickens pecking at the ground (x10 bet)

Other symbols worth mentioning are a Wild symbol and two Scatter icons, both representing Ginger’s farm home and the game logo, respectively.

Payouts

Each of the main character symbols has its own distinct payout structure:

• Piper (the lead male chicken) (£0.50 x 5 bet)
• Bunty (Ginger’s sister) (£1 x 5 bet)
• Buck (the charming rooster) (£1.50 x 5 bet)
• Maurey (a feisty young hen) (£2 x 5 bet)

Wilds

The Wild symbol is Ginger, the lovable protagonist of the film and game alike. She appears stacked on all reels to create exciting winning combinations.

Scatters

Two Scatter icons are available in this slot machine: the Farm Home and Game Logo symbols. Landing three or more of these across any payline triggers a bonus feature that allows players to collect cash prizes by feeding their chosen birds (represented as eggs).

Bonus Features

The Chicken Run game offers two distinct bonus features:

• Bunty’s Egg-cellent Free Spins : When three Bonus symbols appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 during normal gameplay, five free spins are triggered.
• Fowl Play Feature : This round can be triggered at the start of any game by selecting which farm animals you want to feed (more eggs) and will provide players with a single cash prize.

Free Spins

Although described in different terms above, five extra rounds of free spins are awarded after landing three Bonus icons during normal gameplay. Ginger herself triggers these extra chances at winning.

RTP & Volatility

The Chicken Run slot has an RTP (Return to Player) rate of 96% for all bets placed across its entire bet range and a medium volatility level which provides exciting moments without excessive losses in either small stakes or large stakes games.
