Chicken Road 2 is a popular online casino slot game developed by Amatic Industries, an Austrian-based gaming software provider. The game builds upon its predecessor, retaining some of the familiar features while introducing new elements to keep players engaged.
The Theme and Design
The theme revolves around rural life in the countryside, with cartoon-style animals and farm-themed symbols taking center stage. Upon launching the game, players are greeted by a vibrant green landscape featuring rolling hills, trees, and fluffy clouds. The design is reminiscent of classic Chicken Road 2 children’s literature, exuding warmth and coziness.
Gameplay
Chicken Road 2 features five reels with three rows of symbols, offering 40 paylines for potential winning combinations. Players can adjust their bets using the ‘Lines’ button to toggle between one and forty active lines. The minimum bet starts at $0.20, while the maximum bet reaches up to €400 per spin. A wide betting range caters to diverse player preferences.
Symbols
The game features a standard set of high-value symbols:
- High-paying icons: Horse, Cow, and Chicken
- Low-paying icons: 9-Ace (poker cards)
- Wild symbol: Game Logo
- Scatter symbol: Farm
These symbols participate in various combinations to yield payouts.
Payouts
The game adheres to standard slot paytable structure. Winning combos are evaluated based on the number of identical matching icons, from leftmost reel to right, and must appear on activated lines for rewards to be triggered.
Winning payout values are as follows:
- 9-Ace (low-paying): between $1-$5
- Cow: up to $100
- Horse: up to $200
- Chicken: up to $250
- Scattered Farm icon: triggers bonus features
Payouts increase with higher-value icons and combinations.
Wilds, Scatters & Bonus Features
Chicken Road 2 introduces Wilds, which substitute for regular symbols except the Scatter. The Game Logo acts as a single Wild symbol, appearing only on reels two to five. It expands horizontally when landed on reel one to fill entire row or column.
The game features three types of scatter icons:
- Scattered Farm: triggers free spins and bonus games
- Horse (scattered): rewards with instant cash
- Chicken (scattered) & Cow (scattered): awards coins for each combination
Bonus games triggered by two or more scattered Farm symbols award players a guaranteed win based on bet amount times the multiplier.
Free Spins
The bonus game mode triggers 10 to 50 free spins when three Scattered Farms appear simultaneously. A fixed payout of up to $100 is also awarded during each spin. Two additional Free Spins modes offer increased rewards: Chicken’s Bounty & Golden Egg, but players cannot retrigger either.
RTP (Return-to-Player) and Volatility
RTP for the game has been officially confirmed as 96%, indicating a relatively high potential return to player when compared to other Amatic titles. The volatility is categorized as medium-high, suggesting that larger wins may occur but with less frequency.
Max Win
Chicken Road’s highest potential payout occurs in both standard and bonus game modes: up to $250 for any combination of high-paying icons or an instant win triggered by the horse, cow, chicken scatter.
