Introduction
Chicken Road 2 is a farm-themed casino slot game developed by Yggdrasil Gaming, a leading provider of online gaming software. This slot machine game is an extension to its predecessor, Chicken Road, offering players an exciting and rewarding experience with its engaging theme, immersive gameplay, and numerous bonus features.
Theme and Design
The game’s theme revolves around the concept of a farm, complete with rolling hills, fields, barns, and a variety of farm animals. The design is vibrant and colorful, making it visually appealing to players. The symbols used in the game are all related to farming, Chicken Road 2 including chickens, pigs, cows, horses, tractors, and even Farmer Brown himself.
Symbols
The game’s paytable consists of 12 regular symbols, each with its own payout values. These include:
- Chicken (low-paying symbol)
- Pig (medium-paying symbol)
- Cow (high-paying symbol)
- Horse (high-paying symbol)
- Tractor (highest-paying symbol)
Additionally, the game features several special symbols that play crucial roles in triggering bonus rounds and free spins.
Payouts
The payouts for each regular symbol vary depending on how many times they appear on an active payline. The Chicken symbol offers the lowest payout of 5x to 100x the bet amount when landing three, four, or five times respectively. On the other hand, the Tractor symbol pays out up to 500x the total bet for a single appearance.
Wilds
The Wild symbol in Chicken Road 2 is represented by Farmer Brown’s hat. This special symbol substitutes all regular symbols and can be used as part of winning combinations when substituting other symbols on an active payline. It cannot substitute scatter or bonus symbols, however.
Scatters
Two special scatters are present in the game: a Chicken Nest and a Tractor Plow. The Chicken Nest is linked to free spins, while the Tractor Plow is connected to the Free Spins feature with Stacking Wilds. Both of these features will be explained in more detail later on.
Bonus Features
Chicken Road 2 comes equipped with four bonus features:
-
Free Spins : Triggered by landing at least three Chicken Nest scatters anywhere on reels one, two, or three, the Free Spins feature offers up to 20 free spins, accompanied by a multiplier of 5x.
-
Stacking Wilds : This feature is activated when Tractor Plow appears during Free Spins. It locks all reel positions with Stacking Wild symbols for five re-spins, leading to possible gigantic winning combinations.
-
Multiplier Free Spins : Two or more scatters trigger this round, providing 10-50 free spins each with a 5x multiplier for wins made from those scatters.
-
Free Spins with Sticky Chicken : Three to five Farm Wilds and one scatter activate an extra re-spin feature: you have three rounds where the first chicken on each spin gets sticky until they are knocked off in subsequent re-spins, allowing your potential total reward to greatly increase throughout its full duration.
Volatility
Chicken Road 2 has high volatility, meaning that winnings may occur infrequently but when they do can be substantial due to higher rewards associated with triggering the above-mentioned features.
