The farm-themed slot game "Chicken Run" developed by PoggiPlay is an entertaining release that offers a unique take on classic gameplay mechanics. Set in a rustic countryside setting, players are transported to a bustling farm where chickens roam freely, each with its own distinct personality and quirks.
Theme and Design At first glance, the slot’s design appears simple yet inviting, with vibrant colors and cheerful animation that immediately draw the player’s attention. The background is rendered as an idyllic countryside landscape complete with rolling Chicken Run UK hills, fields of golden wheat, and a clear blue sky. Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that each symbol features anthropomorphic farm animals, adding to the game’s whimsical charm.
The low-value symbols are represented by common fruit such as apples, grapes, lemons, and watermelons, while higher-paying icons include animal characters like the Chick (clucking chicken), Farmer Brown, Mrs. Chicken, Hensy, Fowlmouth, Maureeno, Pudsey (a cute penguin character inexplicably integrated into farm setting), and Silly Birdie. Each symbol has a distinct design, showcasing different expressions of happiness or discontent.
Symbols
The Chick, as the most basic Wild, will substitute for any other symbols in the game to create more successful combinations.
- The highest-paying icons include Chick (10x line bet) – These symbols and their associated payouts are detailed on the paytable, but there is no information given about symbol values during actual play.
Payouts As with most online slot games, payout rates range from 1.5 to 500 times line bets for a complete combination of symbols landing along the central reel.
- Chick and Wild substitute each other as well as any basic symbols. This rule is not consistent throughout.
Each winning symbol that appears on adjacent reels (horizontal or vertical) forms part of a possible combination, with at least three needed for some reward. However, there’s no guarantee when playing more than one payline (i.e., the total payout does not change whether only 1×3, multiple single-line combinations occur). There are no other symbol-specific features mentioned.
Wilds In place of any standard icon in the game, a Chick will take its position on specific reels if it exists. The combination created this way is treated as had an original matching card. Additionally – there’s yet another instance where this occurs: If two wild symbols show up consecutively during playtime they’ll result in multiplying all paylines by three (three consecutive ‘Chick’ or not).
Scatters and Bonus Features Unfortunately, no obvious scatter exists within "Chicken Run." Instead of traditional scatters that provide multiple rewards upon activation or landing across 3 reels – there aren’t. Given a standard slot layout with five rows and four column slots, we’d anticipate either having only three positions filled per spin (one vertical or horizontal), giving away its value after every roll.
