The Chicken Run slot machine is a 5-reel online casino game that takes players on an adventure through the world of Aardman Animations’ beloved claymation film, Chicken Run. Developed by Core Gaming, this slot machine offers an engaging and entertaining experience for both fans of the movie and newcomers alike.
Theme
The theme of Chicken Run is based on the 2000 animated comedy film of the same Chicken Run Canada name, directed by Peter Lord and Nick Park. The game follows Ginger, a clever chicken who leads her fellow hens in their escape from the clutches of the sinister and tyrannical farmer, Mr. Tweedy. As players navigate through the reels, they will encounter various characters from the movie, including the lovable but dim-witted rooster, Rocky.
Design
The design of Chicken Run is a faithful adaptation of the film’s style, with vibrant colors and whimsical illustrations that evoke the classic look and feel of Aardman Animations’ signature claymation. The game’s background features a picturesque English countryside, complete with rolling hills and fields filled with sheep and other farm animals.
Symbols
The symbols in Chicken Run are all inspired by characters from the film or its setting. These include Ginger, Rocky, Mr. Tweedy, and various farm-themed icons like carrots, eggs, and chickens. The high-value symbols feature larger-than-life depictions of the main characters, while lower-paying symbols depict everyday objects from a 1930s English countryside.
Payouts
The payout structure for Chicken Run is fairly standard, with higher paying combinations offering more substantial rewards than smaller ones. A combination of three Ginger wilds will award 5x your stake, four will pay out 25 times your bet, and five in a row will hand you the top prize of 1000 times your initial wager.
Wilde
The game’s wild symbol is represented by Ginger herself, who can appear on reels two through five to replace any standard icon, forming winning combinations. The wilds can also be used as substitutes for scatters when trying to trigger a bonus feature.
Scatters
As one would expect from the title of this slot machine, there are indeed egg-shaped symbols representing chicken eggs that function as scatters on Chicken Run game reels two through five.
If you find at least three clucking hens icons anywhere on screen with reels 1 through 5 activated (no matter where they land), it’ll trigger a free spin bonus round called the "Egg Bonus."
