Theme and Design
Chicken Road 2 is an online slot machine developed by InOut Games, a relatively new but rapidly growing company in the iGaming industry. The game falls under the category of animal-themed slots, which seems to be a favorite among players due to Chicken Road 2 for free its intriguing blend of entertainment value and potential for substantial winnings. As we delve into this review, it’s essential to acknowledge that Chicken Road 2 is an updated version of InOut Games’ initial release in 2019.
The game takes place on a vast desert landscape where chickens roam free, while a sprawling highway bisects the horizon. This setting creates a vibrant and colorful atmosphere that draws players in. The backdrop features sun-kissed rocks, wispy clouds, and an open sky that provides a panoramic view of this animated scene.
Symbols
The game’s design incorporates a variety of symbols that are both fun to watch and contribute significantly to the gameplay experience. Starting with the low-value symbols, which include four playing card suits – Ace (A), King (K), Queen (Q) – each symbol bears the colors of these respective cards but in the style reminiscent of desert rocks.
As players progress through their spins, they will encounter higher-paying chicken-themed symbols: Brown Chicken, White Chicken, Gold Coin Chickens and a 6-Winged Phoenix. Each of these has its own unique design that enhances the overall theme.
Payouts
The payout system for Chicken Road is based on a relatively standard five-reel slot machine setup with twenty paylines available to create winning combinations. Wins are generated from leftmost to rightmost, regardless of their position in each reel.
A single win combination consists of three, four or five identical symbols placed consecutively from the far-left side starting point of any line (starting from the very first and all subsequent reels). Higher-paying chicken-themed symbols have naturally higher payout multipliers when compared with standard playing cards. In total there are 32 winning combinations possible.
WILDS AND SCATTERS
Wilds in this game function similarly to their counterparts across other slots, substituting for any ordinary icon on the five reels allowing more opportunities for creating combinations that generate rewards. Unlike many other games offering an independent wild symbol however Chicken Road does not have it as its own separate component – a "6-Winged Phoenix" acts only as the Wild.
Wild’s functionality is extended to 3x,4x or 5 times multiplier when involved in winning combinations made on two consecutive spins with subsequent higher value. However please note: In case of bonus feature activation, multipliers don’t stack together here unlike free game mode below described.
In contrast Scatters appear on any number of reels – just so long as three (or more) show up they award a specific amount which depends upon how many there are (x2,x10 or x100). Also these do not participate in creating the final outcome from winning combinations, therefore this doesn’t necessarily result either immediately, it only triggers a different aspect we now discuss next – Bonus.
BONUSES AND FREE SPINS
Upon appearance of 3+ scatters anywhere on reels (no position limits) they award between x2 to an amount equivalent to one hundred times initial stake and in parallel activate ‘Free Spins’ which counts as 7 rounds with a possibility for it to be either enhanced or reactivated up through consecutive wins when all winning combinations are formed from any of bonus symbols.
