Chicken Run is a 5-reel video slot developed by Barcrest Games, a well-established company with an impressive portfolio of online slots. Based on the popular British stop-motion animated film, "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit," this slot promises to deliver a thrilling experience for both novices and experienced players alike.
Theme
The game is set in the world of Aardman Animations’ beloved characters, specifically within the farm owned by Wallace and his Chicken Run eccentric friends. Players will feel as if they are partaking in the Great Escape alongside Ginger Nutmeg’s flock, with a dash of excitement added to every spin due to its theme and captivating sound effects.
Design
The visuals in Chicken Run are an extension of Aardman Animation’s trademark style – quirky humor infused into each aspect of the game. From the background to the reel symbols themselves, everything is meticulously designed to transport players directly into the heart-pounding world of chicken heists. Each symbol features a different member from the original film or one that was created uniquely for this slot.
Symbols
Chicken Run has standard lettered high-paying icons (10- A), and then there’s an interesting mix between unique symbols inspired by characters from the source material – including Ginger Nutmeg, Wallace, Gromit, Nick, and Feathers McGraw. These come with higher payouts when a player gets three or more of them consecutively across reels one through five.
Payouts
The paytable is relatively standard for slots in this category; it offers rewards that increase as you move down the list from your high-value letter icons (A-J) to the characters. Landing these symbols on an active line, combined with specific multiplier values applied per icon type at playtime or via any applicable bonus functions used within those turns adds up well during each successful combination – but we’ll delve more into what it means in real-life gameplay below.
Wilds
The Wild feature is represented by Nick. Landing one anywhere on a payline gives you free re-spins of your current combo without disrupting the new reel content at all times since these symbols never disappear off-screen during any bonus turn phase either; they simply hold position allowing complete sequences completion potentially leading towards extra paid lines or other benefits depending which special abilities were activated through main event gameplay mechanics we see next.
Scatters
Feathers McGraw is the Scatter icon and triggers a sequence of Free Spins – ten to be exact – every time it appears three times (or more). The scatter symbols can also trigger another feature; when they show up anywhere within these ten turns left, your slot game awards you five additional spins regardless whether those triggered by Feathers already ran their course at all points before reaching this secondary benefit portion itself!
