The world of online casinos is always teeming with new games, each vying for a spot at the top of players’ favorite list. One such game that has managed to capture attention and imagination is the ‘Chicken Run’ slot machine from Ainsworth Game Technology. Released to the market with all the flair of an Oscar-winning film, this game transports players straight into the heart of a bustling farm where chickens are on a mission for freedom.
Design: Farm Frenzy
The moment the game loads up in your browser or Chicken Run mobile device screen, you will be treated to vibrant, cartoon-style graphics that paint a picture of chaos and commotion. Set against a sunny agricultural backdrop, rows of colorful coops house the lovable characters from Nick Park’s renowned claymation classic, ‘Chicken Run’. You can almost hear the chattering chatter of Ginger, Tweedy, and their pals as they scamper about to avoid those nefarious egg-thieving humans.
Symbols
Spinning the reels in Chicken Run is a treat for your eyes. Not only do you get to see familiar faces from Aardman Animations’ beloved film series but also some standard game symbols with which slots aficionados are all too accustomed: 5 x Low Paying icons and one Wild, representing the main characters.
- Ginger’s egg-laying exploits
- The nefarious Cluck Norris, a menacing rooster who takes great pleasure in tormenting our feathered heroes.
- Tweedy (a.k.a. Captain) and his trusty sidekick, Mossie – an odd couple but loyal friends through thick & thin.
The symbols that really get the game going are of course the main characters: Ginger, Rocky, Nigella (yes, THAT Nigella!), Chuck (the ‘chicken whisperer’, or so he claims…), and Tweedy’s trusty sidekicks – Mossie & Pinchy. Each offers a range of payouts from 0.5x to an impressive 50 times your bet for Ginger!
Payouts
Here are the actual paytable values:
- Low Payers (5 standard symbols):
- L – O: 1-2 times wager
- Numbered 9: 10–20 times
- Letter ‘E’: 15 –30 times your bet
- Wild symbol (Rocky): 50x to 1000x
Winning combinations of three or more matching symbols in any direction across the reels will reward you handsomely. Don’t get too excited, though: we’ve still got plenty more to cover! Next up – wilds.
Wild
As is standard for many slots out there these days, Ainsworth decided on using a Wild symbol as its main game icon, giving players something to really look forward to (or fear in this case!). The Wild stands proudly at the top-right corner of your playing field and takes over where other symbols might have left off, landing any needed combination that’s part-finished due solely because one or two more wilds are missing for completion – how nice!
