The Chicken Road series has been a staple in the world of online slots for quite some time now. Developed by leading game provider, Pariplay, the first installment was well-received by players and critics alike. The success of its predecessor paved the way for Chicken Road 2, which promises an even more immersive gaming experience.
Theme and Design
Upon launching the game, players Chicken Road 2 are immediately transported to a rural Chinese village set amidst lush greenery and vibrant scenery. The atmosphere is serene yet inviting, with soft music playing in the background. As for design, Chicken Road 2’s layout follows a classic reel structure consisting of 5 columns, 3 rows, and an impressive total of 243 winning ways. Visuals are colorful, animated, and meticulously crafted to create an authentic setting.
One notable aspect is the creative use of symbols. Players will find various chickens roaming about, each representing different coin values (0.20 to 50.00). Expect to see traditional Chinese-inspired elements as well: intricately designed vases, temples, lotus flowers, bamboo shoots, and drums. Additionally, Wild and Scatter icons are discreetly integrated into the design without overpowering the theme.
Symbols
To break down the symbols in more detail:
-
Low-paying Symbols: Four varieties of chicken icons will award varying cash prizes:
- Poultry (0.20 – 5x coin value)
- Rooster (0.25 – 10x coin value)
- Hen (0.30 – 15x coin value)
- Chick (0.40 – 25x coin value)
-
Medium-paying Symbols: Two unique symbols in this category are:
- Chinese vase (0.50 – 20x coin value)
- Temple entrance (1.00 – 50x coin value)
-
High-paying Symbols:
- Golden Dragon, which represents the Wild and can be substituted for any other symbol except Scatter.
- The golden drum serves as the Scatter; it awards wins of up to 2 times total bet plus triggering a free spins round when at least three land on adjacent reels.
-
Special icons: Other noteworthy symbols include Bamboo Shoots, Lotus Flowers, and Vases – although these do not award any direct cash prizes but might be used in bonus features or trigger some other function.
Payout Structure
The payouts are straightforward: line wins occur when matching symbols appear left-to-right on adjacent reels from the first reel to start counting. Wild icons can substitute for low-paying chickens and may also pay a prize if two of them land together (8x coin value). There is no distinction in payout multipliers between single-line, adjacent-win or combination-payouts scenarios.
Wilds and Scatters
One must note that the Chicken Road 2 slot uses its Wild icon sparingly: it only triggers once for any low-paying chicken symbol. Consequently, Wild doesn’t expand across reels nor pay higher coin values in this game – somewhat limiting potential winning combinations.
As outlined above there is a maximum win of 1000000 times total bet amount
