The Chicken Run slot machine game is a creation of Barcrest Gaming, which has since been acquired by Scientific Games Corporation (SGC). Released around 2012-2013, this farm-themed video slot captures the essence of the classic British claymation animated film "Chicken Run," produced by Aardman Animations and DreamWorks Animation. This casino game is a relatively straightforward adaptation with symbols inspired directly from the movie characters and events.
Gameplay Overview
The Chicken Run slot has five reels, each containing 20 possible paylines. The minimum wager per spin ranges between £0.25 to £40, depending on Chicken Run individual player preferences for stake size. With medium-high volatility settings in place, it’s recommended that players have sufficient experience with online slots or start cautiously before increasing their betting amounts.
Theme and Design
The game takes its visual cues from the movie of the same name, recreating iconic characters like Ginger (the lead chicken) and Rocky (her main partner). The symbols include images inspired by farm animals – chickens, hens, roosters, ducks, pigs, cows, and horses. A key aspect is that most of these icons have no winning potential on their own; instead, specific combinations or landing particular groups can result in rewards.
Symbols
- Ginger (lead chicken) symbol serves as the highest paying icon.
- Other notable symbols are Rocky’s rooster companion, a basket carrying food items like bread and eggs, while less valuable images of various farm animals populate the reels along with low-value playing card ranks from 9 to Ace for their numeric values.
The game introduces unique bonus features, including scatters (the movie title "Chicken Run" on reels), which trigger a bonus round upon landing three or more; wild symbols can replace any other icon in a winning combination except free spins icons.
