Chicken Road
Chicken Road is a casino slot machine developed by Wazdan, a renowned game provider in the online gaming industry. This 5-reel slot features an array of unique and intriguing elements that will test players’ luck as they navigate through the virtual “highway” in search of fortune.
Theme and Design
At its core, Chicken Road is an animal-themed slot machine set on a rural highway where fowl friends roam freely. The design aesthetic leans towards vibrant colors, reflecting the sun-kissed countryside setting, complete with rolling hills, trees, and what appears to be Chicken Road a distant urban landscape in the background. Each symbol, from basic fruit icons to high-paying chicken avatars, has been intricately designed, making the game visually appealing.
The slot features Wazdan’s proprietary “Volatility Levels” system, allowing players to adjust the risk level of each spin to suit their gaming preferences. This flexibility makes Chicken Road an attractive option for both casual and seasoned gamers looking for a customized experience.
Symbols
Chicken Road offers 10 main symbols that pay out in various combinations:
- Low-paying symbols : Lacking in theme coherence, standard fruit icons include a lemon (0.05x), orange (0.05x), plum (0.06x), apple (0.07x), watermelon (0.08x), and grape (0.09x).
- Medium-paying symbols : The chicken’s friends come into play with the cat, dog, and cow symbols, offering higher payouts: 1.00x for two of a kind up to 100x when all five land.
- High-paying symbol : “Golden Chicken” is the top paying symbol in this slot machine, rewarding 2000 coins (20x) for any combination of three or more.
Payouts
Winnings are calculated based on the total bet and are paid out according to a fixed payout table:
- For three matching symbols, the minimum win starts at 2.50% of the wager.
- Achieving four in a row boosts this amount up to 10x.
- With five winning symbols landed consecutively, payouts rise substantially: from an 80x multiplier on smaller wagers up to a generous maximum payout.
Wilds
Wazdan’s proprietary “Volatility Levels” feature serves as the wild symbol. These special icons can be swapped with any regular paying symbols (except Golden Chicken and Scatters), potentially increasing winning combinations, while contributing towards reaching the coveted jackpot award.
