Chicken Run is a farm-themed online casino slot game developed by Ainsworth Game Technology, an Australian gaming company known for its wide range of slots and table games. This review delves into every aspect of the slot, analyzing its theme, design, symbols, payouts, bonus features, free spins, RTP, volatility, betting range, max win, gameplay, mobile playability, Chicken Run player experience, and overall analysis.
Theme and Design
Chicken Run has a lighthearted farm setting where players join a flock of chickens attempting to escape from the farmer’s grasp. The game takes place on five reels with three rows, set against a colorful backdrop featuring various farm elements such as silos, barns, and haystacks. Visually, it is not one of Ainsworth’s most impressive slots in terms of graphics quality but retains an inviting atmosphere.
Symbols
The symbols used are all related to the theme:
- Low-value symbols include eggs, chicks, pecking chickens, feeding troughs, and farm trucks
- High-value symbols depict various types of chicken breeds (e.g., roosters)
- Scattered Chickens appear only on reels 1 and 5
Payouts
Chicken Run does not offer a progressive jackpot or massive top wins. The maximum payout is capped at 250 times the player’s total stake.
Wilds
The game features two types of wild symbols:
- Basic Wild (Farm Animals): these can appear on reels 1 to 4 and substitute for other standard symbols
- Chickens Free Spin Bonus Symbol
Scatters
There are three different scatters:
- Scattered Chickens: when three or more appear, they trigger the free spins bonus round. When a scatter symbol appears in reel positions one (leftmost) and five (rightmost), it also activates both features.
- Other Chicken Scatter
- Scattered Eggs Scatter
Bonus Features
Chicken Run offers two main bonuses:
- Free Spin Bonus : activated by three or more scatters on reels 1, 2, 3, and/or 4. The number of free spins awarded is calculated as the following:
- Three scattered chicken symbols: eight free games
- Four scattered egg or other chicken scatter symbols: twelve free games
- Five scattered chick or farmer’s wife symbol(s): sixteen free games
During the bonus round, only scatters (scattered eggs and other chickens) can appear on reels 1 to 4; five free game wins are increased by two times. Free Spin Bonus pays both left-to-right (horizontally) AND right-to-left (vertically).
- MultiWay Xtra
Chicken Run does not support all four ways, only three.
RTP and Volatility
Ainsworth has chosen a relatively standard return to player rate for this title of 92.75%. Regarding its level of risk or reward, Chicken Run features medium-level volatility, according to the developer’s information.
Betting Range and Max Win
Players have flexibility regarding bets per payline; each can bet on up to five lines (25 coins). Coin size ranges from $0.01 through $4 with a betting limit that goes as high as 10 units of currency for all 5 reels played, resulting in max wager value of $120 ($12 / unit x 10) or the minimum stake at $1/line per reel.
Gameplay and Features Overview
Chicken Run can be categorized under Ainsworth’s family-friendly slots lineup. Gameplay involves finding scatters while chasing wins. No special re-spins, jackpots, bonus features other than mentioned two here, exist within this game, leaving it more entertaining on a player level but less engaging since no true bonuses come close in winning potential like its competing titles’ max payouts.
Mobile Play and Experience
The slot can be played directly through most mobile browsers that allow HTML5 content loading. It is accessible via desktops (Windows/Internet Explorer) due to Ainsworth’s use of Adobe Flash for their slots portfolio.
Player Analysis and Overall Assessment
This medium-risk farm-themed game appeals more towards casual gamblers looking for some gentle slot action, since it cannot offer a massive maximum win but can produce decent payouts thanks largely in part from wilds providing moderate wins.
Estudié comunicación mas el deseo de escribir me viene, sobre todo, de las
ganas de escuchar con profundidad a las personas.
Me pongo lentes diversos para comprender lo que cada uno me cuenta, desde su
propio punto de vista. Soy toda oídos.
Mi desafío es materializar la necesidad de cada cliente en textos persuasivos y
creativos. Acompañar para descubrir el brillo propio de cada proyecto.
Practique mucho, entrené el músculo de la escritura. Hoy me siento segura
para expresar claramente mis ideas y también las de los demás.
Elegir con dedicación esas pocas y voluminosas palabras que te hagan sentir
sí, eso es lo que quería decir.
“Te escucho 100%. Me adapto a tu necesidad y a tu público. Relataremos historias vívidas porque las ideas atraen
pero las experiencias, arrastran.
Nos focalizamos en lo que tenés, no lo que te falta. Esa potencia es siempre el punto de partida. Jamás podré sacarme los anteojos en “4D” que me regaló mi amiga Lala Deheinzelin. Para evaluar los proyectos desde múltiples dimensiones para sumar valor (Con lentes 4D, vemos no solo las riquezas tangibles, como lo ambiental y lo financiero, sino también las intangibles, como lo social y lo cultural).
Soy entusiasta de la potencia de la red. Complementamos para armar equipos de trabajo poderosos”.
