The Chicken Road slot machine is a game developed by the innovative company InOut. This studio has made a name for itself in the world of online gaming with its unique and engaging creations, often incorporating elements from pop culture and everyday life into their games. The Chicken Road slot follows this trend, presenting players with an entertaining and potentially rewarding experience.
Theme and Design
The theme of the game is centered around chickens, but not just any ordinary chickens – they are travelers on a road trip adventure. As such, the background Chicken Road UK image depicts a desert highway stretching out into infinity, complete with billboards advertising "Fowl Play" restaurants and other chicken-themed businesses. The reels themselves sit atop this backdrop, framed by what appears to be a worn vinyl dashboard from a vintage car.
The design is colorful and vibrant, immediately inviting players in to explore the game’s features and potential rewards. The graphics are high-quality and detailed enough that they seem more like real-life objects than mere pixelated representations on a screen. This level of care shows just how much attention InOut pays to detail in their games.
Symbols
As one might expect from a slot machine centered around chickens, the symbols used in Chicken Road reflect its theme quite literally. The game’s normal paytable consists of five types of chicken-themed symbols: the Chick with Sunglasses (the highest-paying symbol), the Chicken Driver (also relatively high-paying), and three lower-earning chicken characters that look like they’ve been trying to hitch a ride along this desert highway.
Lower-ranking but still relevant for their place in the overall design, are five playing card suits. However these do not relate at all with the game theme.
Payouts
The payout structure is standard, using both fixed payouts for combinations of three or more matching symbols on an active payline as well as a progressive jackpot available when no less than 5 Chick with Sunglasses appear on any spin.
While this may seem simplistic, it’s actually part and parcel to the design philosophy that InOut sticks to in its slot machines – simplicity makes games easier for players from all skill levels and backgrounds. By minimizing complexity, they make sure their slots stay intuitive yet fun regardless of how experienced a player is with online slots.
Wilds
Chicken Road features two wild symbols: the Chick Hitchhiker and Chick Driver’s Mobile Phone Icon.
The Chick Hitchhiker acts as an omnipresent symbol which may stand in for any other standard game icon to assist you completing more lucrative winning combinations. This feature should certainly be beneficial since there are no lower-earning wild substitutes, or, at least none that appear when we test the slot machine.
Conversely, if your screen gets filled by a Chick Driver (5 times) they can help to win you 8 Jackpots of 5000 x Bet or more. If five such icons occur in combination with 2 lower-ranking characters on any given pay line and these last are all Wilds then there will be an astonishing payout.
The Mobile Phone Icon has a very limited role as it is just one substitute wild, only possible to use when you bet low stakes.
Scatters
There’s also the Chick Stop sign icon acting here as Scatter – though in fact not like so many online slots. These can earn different kinds of free spins based upon how and at which location on any spin they appear – however such bonuses do differ.
With just 5 appearances (from bottom left corner) anywhere across all paylines you may start receiving Chicken Road Free Spins Feature awards with even more opportunities for winning substantial prizes using your own Chick Hitchhiker’s driving skills to the utmost.
