The Chicken Run slot machine is a video slot game developed by WMS (Williams Interactive), based on the popular computer-animated comedy film of the same name produced by DreamWorks Animation. Released in 2019, this farm-fresh themed slot offers players Chicken Run free demo an entertaining and engaging experience with its colorful graphics, catchy music, and exciting bonus features.
Theme and Design
The Chicken Run slot machine is set on a typical English countryside farm during World War II. The game’s background image displays a rural landscape with rolling hills, trees, and buildings in the distance. The reels are designed to resemble old-fashioned farming equipment such as baskets, tools, and vehicles. The slot features five reels, four rows of symbols, and a total of 20 fixed paylines.
The visual presentation is bright, vibrant, and inviting, making it appealing to players who enjoy light-hearted themes. The game’s graphics have been well-designed to provide an immersive experience for the player. When played on a mobile device, the layout adapts perfectly, allowing easy navigation through the various options and features available within the slot.
Symbols
The Chicken Run slot machine uses a variety of symbols based on characters from the film as well as farming-related icons. The standard paying symbols are divided into two categories: low-value symbols representing chickens, eggs, tools, baskets, and farm buildings, and high-value symbols featuring beloved characters such as Balthazar (the cockerel) and Mrs. Tweedy’s prized chicken.
The special symbols include a wild symbol represented by the game logo "Chicken Run" with a stylized font, and two scatter symbols – one for free spins and another that triggers the bonus feature.
Payouts
The payouts in Chicken Run are relatively standard compared to other video slots. Players can win various prizes depending on their wager size and combinations of matching symbols landing consecutively from left to right along an enabled payline. Each symbol has a specific value, ranging from 0.25x for low-value chickens up to 20x or more for the high-paying Balthazar character.
To view detailed information about the game’s payouts, players can consult the built-in paytable accessible by clicking on the menu button at any point during gameplay. The paytable displays both the payout values and their winning combinations in detail.
Wilds
The wild symbol is one of the most important features of Chicken Run as it can be used to replace regular symbols (all standard-paying and scatter icons) except for the other special feature- triggering icon, creating successful matches where none would have existed otherwise. The Wild also offers a multiplier value between 2x and 5x depending on its position within combinations.
Scatters
The slot features two types of scatters: one triggers free spins (up to 30) with an added chance at additional winnings due to the game’s special scatter-based prize mechanism, while the other activates a bonus feature when three or more land consecutively across the five reels from any location. The combination and appearance requirements are different for each type.
Bonus Features
One of the most enjoyable aspects of Chicken Run is its engaging Bonus Feature triggered by landing at least three "Chickens" scatter symbols anywhere on screen during base game play.
During this bonus round, players have a choice between two gameplay options:
-
Option 1: Free Spins In addition to free spins (up to 30), each player starts with a prize worth up to 25 times the total wagered amount in credits. The award is calculated at random during this event based on various factors like bet per spin, scatter icon multipliers and even their unique game-specific payout potential.
-
Option 2: Pick Me Bonus After activating either option, players participate in an interactive mini-game called "Pick-Me." Within a grid made up of farm-related items – such as eggs, tools, or buildings – the participant selects from different symbols until stopping at one to receive instant cash prizes.
