Fowl Play on Chicken Run Slot Machines
The "Chicken Run" slot machine is a game of chance based on the classic animated film by Aardman Animations. Developed by Microgaming, this 5-reel, 15-payline video slot offers an engaging experience for fans and non-fans alike.
Theme Chicken Run and Design
The slot machine’s theme revolves around Nick Park’s beloved characters from Chicken Run. The game features various symbols related to the movie, such as Ginger (the protagonist), Rocky the Rooster, the main antagonist Mrs. Tweedy, and other characters like Speckles the Sheep. These character illustrations are rendered in 3D animation style, mimicking the movie’s visuals.
Players will notice that the background resembles a rural countryside setting with farmhouses and fields, complete with lush greenery and colorful skies to match the whimsical tone of the film.
Symbols
In terms of symbols, the game offers both low-paying and high-paying characters from the film. The low-paying icons consist of standard playing card values (9-A), along with some bonus icons featuring farm-related items like hens, eggs, and rooster silhouettes.
The higher-value symbols showcase key movie characters:
- Ginger: pays 50 coins for five-of-a-kind
- Rocky: offers a payout of 75 coins for five-of-a-kind
- Mrs. Tweedy’s Hen Coop: gives players 100 coins for matching all five coops
Payouts
The slot machine features regular, standard payouts on its paylines that activate with consecutive symbol matches from left to right or vice versa.
Key payouts include:
- Royal Flush (A-K): pays out a significant amount
- Wilds (Ginger’s character in various colors): replaces low-paying icons and offers bonus multipliers when matching specific combinations
Wilds
The Ginger icon acts as the wild, replacing any symbol on the paytable except for scatter symbols. If two or more wilds are part of consecutive wins within a single game round, their values will be multiplied accordingly.
Scatters
The Chicken Coop serves as the Scatter, triggering Free Spins by landing at least three coops in any position across reels 1-5.
When activated, this scatter feature provides an added layer of excitement to gameplay.
