Fowl Frenzy: The Great Escape in Chicken Run
Chicken Run is a casino slot game developed by NextGen Gaming, based on the popular animated film of the same name. Released in 2015, this slot has gained significant attention for its engaging storyline, immersive gameplay, and various bonus features.
Theme and Design
The theme revolves around the film’s narrative, where a group of chickens plot to escape Chicken Run from their farm. The game’s design reflects the movie’s whimsical and comedic tone, with vibrant colors, cartoon-style illustrations, and lovable characters. Players can expect an animated egg-laying chicken named Ginger as the main protagonist on the reels.
The slot features five reels and 10 adjustable paylines. Symbols include high-paying ones like Ginger, Rocky, Mrs. Tweedy, and Farmer’s Daughter, while low-value symbols are represented by playing card values in suits of hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades.
Symbols and Payouts
In the standard gameplay, each symbol has its own payout value depending on the number of consecutive wins. Players can land up to five consecutive wins per spin for Ginger or other high-paying characters. Low-value symbols award less generous payouts, ranging from 10x bet to 100x bet when appearing in combination with Wilds.
The slot’s Wild symbol is depicted as a golden egg, serving as a substitute for any standard icon except the Scatter and Bonus symbols.
Scatters, Bonus Features, and Free Spins
To trigger free spins, players need to land at least three or more Scarecrow scatter icons. Depending on the number of scatters obtained:
- Three or four scatter: 5x bet awarded as cash
- Five scatter: triggers 10 free spins
During free games, additional Scatter wins award a random multiplier from x1-x20 applied to total win.
One of the game’s most prominent features is the "Egg-cellent Bonus" that triggers upon three or more Mrs. Tweedy bonus symbols landing on reels one through five (left to right). In this mode:
- 15 Free Spins awarded with no restriction
- All wins are multiplied by x2 during Egg-cellent Bonus
Additionally, two separate random feature awards can be triggered in any spin within the base game or free spins.
