Escape the Farm in Chicken Run Slot Machine Game
The Chicken Run slot machine game is a fascinating creation from Barcrest Games that brings to life the entertaining story of Ginger and Rocky’s escapade from their farm prison in the famous stop-motion animated film Chicken Run Australia of 2000. Developed by WMS Gaming, this online video slot takes inspiration from the film while delivering unique gameplay elements, resulting in an immersive gaming experience.
Theme
The game is set on a farm where Ginger, Rocky, and their chicken friends have made numerous attempts to escape but failed each time. However, with the arrival of new characters, they come up with one last plan that promises success. As you launch the slot machine, the scene unfolds in front of your screen like an animated short film, showcasing colorful characters including Ginger, Rocky, Mrs Tweedy’s chickens, and other supporting farm animals.
Design
The game features five reels with three symbols on each reel (with a sixth row of seven possible winning combinations for certain symbols), 243 ways to win, and six fixed paylines. The graphics are visually stunning, bringing the characters from the film to life in crisp detail. Symbols are categorized into two main groups: high-value icons that include Ginger, Rocky, Mrs Tweedy’s chicken, Colonel, Mr Tweedy, and the farm boy, as well as low-value card symbols Ace through 10.
Symbols
High-paying symbols depict primary characters in the Chicken Run universe, offering higher payouts than their lower-ranking counterparts. Each symbol provides different payout amounts when lined up from left to right across active paylines:
- Colonel: Max win of £30,000
- Mrs Tweedy’s chicken: Up to £20,000
- Mr Tweedy: As much as £15,000
- Farm boy: Offers up to £10,000
Lower-value symbols depicted by the card faces (Ace through 10) pay out lesser amounts but are crucial for forming winning combinations.
Payouts
Wins are calculated using a multiplier of x20, and each time you land on a win, it triggers an animation in which your selected symbol grows larger to emphasize its importance. To maximize potential winnings, placing the maximum bet allows you to benefit from all available line wins at once. Each icon has different payouts when appearing two or three times across any five active paylines.
Wilds
The Chicken Run logo serves as a wild symbol and can be found on reels one through four, substituting for other icons in winning combinations to boost potential prizes by up to 20x.
Scatters
When the free games bonus is triggered (by landing three or more of any scatter within the base game), three golden chicken icons appear, activating nine free spins. This feature can be re-triggered once during this sequence and adds an extra spin each time it occurs.
Bonus Features
In addition to the already mentioned scatters that unlock a special round, other key features enhance gameplay:
- Free games: Nine initial rounds are granted with potential for one more every additional scatter found.
- Expanding symbol: Whenever Ginger or Rocky appear in any of reels 2 through 4 during free spins, they turn into expanding wilds and occupy an entire reel until the end of that round.
Free Spins
Nine free games can be re-activated. If this happens once more within a series of free games, one additional spin is granted each time. This special mode also comes with bonus scatters triggering further rounds by landing multiple golden chickens anywhere across active reels during an existing free spins session.
- Game volatility: Medium to high
- Return-to-Player (RTP): 95%
- Betting range: Between £0.50 and £100 per spin
Max Win
While it’s possible for winnings of up to £30,000 from the Colonel symbol in any single combination on one payline with maximum bet placement, this will likely come via a wild or expanding feature involved.
Players can select different coin values and multipliers using buttons below each reel: ‘1p’, ‘5p’, ’10p’ or other amounts ranging up to £100.
The game adapts well when played over mobile devices due in part because the design isn’t overly complex, making navigation easier on touchscreen platforms. A helpful information area is displayed at all times for those looking into bonus rules and payouts further.
