Introduction to Chicken Road
Chicken Road is a video slot game developed by NetEntertainment Ltd., one of the most renowned software providers in the iGaming industry. This game was released in 2014 and has been gaining popularity among players ever since its debut. As with all NetEnt games, Chicken Road promises an exciting experience that combines stunning graphics, engaging gameplay, and potentially lucrative payouts.
Theme and Design
The theme of Chicken Road revolves around a farm setting where chickens roam free, foraging for food in the Chicken Road countryside. The design is colorful and vibrant, featuring cartoon-style characters that will put players at ease from the start. Upon launching the game, one can’t help but be captivated by the engaging animation that plays out on screen.
The main game window features a 5-reel arrangement with 20 fixed paylines. Symbols range from low-value farm animals like cows and pigs to higher-paying combinations of hens laying eggs in various colors (bronze, silver, gold). Other symbols include chicken-shaped playing card suits (Ace, King, Queen) along with the Wild symbol – a cartoon-style rooster.

Payouts and Wild Symbol
Winning combinations in Chicken Road are determined by landing at least three identical symbols on a payline. The game’s payouts range from 1 to 10 coins for each symbol combination, depending on the total bet placed.
The rooster is designated as the wild symbol, substituting any other symbol (except scatters) to create winning combinations. Wilds can appear in stacks of up to three symbols high, thus multiplying wins even further due to the stacked nature of the feature.
Scatter Symbol and Bonus Features
A Golden Egg is featured as the scatter symbol, represented by a shiny golden egg with yellow spots. To trigger a bonus round, players must land at least 3 scatters anywhere on the reels simultaneously (regardless of payline). This sets off two types of free games – Instant Play or Extra Spins.
- Instant Play: Upon triggering the instant play feature via three Golden Eggs, you are awarded with a random number of free spins. The initial payout is paid out at once.
- Extra Spins: Three scatters also enable players to collect up to 30 extra spins (up to five rounds in total), granting more chances at landing multiple combinations throughout the feature.
Free Spins Bonus
During both Free Spin and Instant Play bonus features, all winnings accumulated are automatically multiplied by three – enhancing your overall chances of winning during these special sessions.
The maximum payout from free spins is 30,000 times the initial stake. However please note that payouts can fluctuate depending on the number of active paylines at any given time while you engage in gameplay within extra-spin features.
RTP (Return to Player)
Chicken Road boasts a Return-to-Player percentage of 96%, implying an average payout per every $100 betted or inserted into this game would equate roughly nine times revenue lost; as is usual for most slots games.
