Chicken Road 2 is a video slot game developed by Igrosoft, a Russian gaming software company known for creating games with unique themes and features. Released in recent years, Chicken Road 2 has gained popularity among slots enthusiasts worldwide due to its engaging gameplay, immersive theme, and lucrative bonus features.
Theme and Design
The game is set on a Chicken Road 2 rural road where players take the role of drivers navigating through various obstacles while competing against their opponents. The design is reminiscent of classic arcade-style games with colorful graphics and cartoonish characters. Upon starting the game, players are greeted by a simple yet effective menu system that allows them to adjust betting options, activate bonus features, or view help sections.
The background of the game resembles a countryside road, complete with trees, hills, and rural buildings. The reels themselves are designed in a grid format with various icons representing different objects found on the road. These symbols include cars, bicycles, pedestrians, chickens (of course!), eggs, and more. The design is vibrant and visually appealing, making it an engaging experience for players.
Symbols
The game features 9 regular paying symbols, each with its own unique payout structure:
- Low-paying symbols: Card numbers 10 to Ace
- High-paying symbols:
- Bicycle: x2 – x25 multiplier
- Car: x5 – x50 multiplier
- Pedestrian: x3 – x30 multiplier
- Chicken (wild): x1 – x1000 multiplier (more on this later)
- Egg: x20 – x150 multiplier
In addition to these symbols, there are also two special icons:
- Scatter Symbol: A yellow car with a white license plate features the words "Chicken Road" in bold letters. Landing three or more scatters anywhere on the reels awards free spins and triggers the Bonus Feature.
- Wild Symbol: The chicken icon serves as both wild and scatter when landed together.
Payouts
As mentioned earlier, each symbol has its own payout structure based on the number of matching icons on a single spin. Here’s an example of how the payouts work:
- 3 identical symbols: x2 multiplier
- 4 identical symbols: x5 multiplier
- 5 identical symbols (max): x10 – x50 multiplier
The game also features an Auto-Hold feature, which allows players to lock specific winning combinations during gameplay. This increases the chances of landing more lucrative payouts.
Wilds
In Chicken Road 2, the chicken icon serves as both wild and scatter when landed together on a single spin. The combination creates new combinations using other symbols or replaces existing icons to form higher-paying wins. When the chicken appears in place of any regular symbol (except the scatters), it doubles its payout value.
Scatters
Landing three or more scatter symbols, regardless of their position on the reels, awards 10 free spins with an active multiplier starting from x2. This can be re-triggered during free play. During this feature:
- All wins are tripled (except for those landed on winning combinations featuring wilds)
- Free Spins can be activated as many times as possible in one game session
Bonus Features
Chicken Road 2 features the following bonus features, each designed to enhance gameplay and payouts.
Multiplier Wild Bonus
Landing a minimum of five multipliers (displayed above or below the reels) on adjacent positions activates this feature. The first multiplier has a value between x1 – x10; subsequent multipliers increase their values until they reach up to x1000. For each additional symbol beyond the initial multiplier, its respective multiplier is multiplied by an increasing number, from 2 to 32.
Super Free Spins
During regular free spins or in case of activation on a specific game outcome: If more than one chicken appears during this round Free spins will have increased their frequency and duration.
Gameplay
Chicken Road 2 allows for multiple betting options, making it accessible to players with various budgets. Minimum bet is $0.10, while the maximum available bet reaches up to $100 per spin.
The game supports both single-player mode (played on a standard computer or mobile device) as well as multiplayer functionality where competing players can see one another’s results and compete against each other.
Volatility
Chicken Road 2 has an average volatility rating of 7/10, which falls into the category of moderate to high volatility games. As such:
- Players may experience a combination of frequent small wins along with fewer yet larger payouts
- Higher minimum bets will provide higher rewards
However, be aware that both losing and winning streaks are balanced by gameplay characteristics.
RTP
Chicken Road 2 operates at an RTP (Return to Player) level between 96% -97%. The lower end of this range should still result in relatively decent returns over the long term for committed players but remains below many other slots on offer, particularly those produced more recently by market leaders like NetEnt or Playtech.
Max Win
Chicken Road’s maximum theoretical win is $100,000 when betting with a max bet ($100). Lower minimum bets might yield slightly reduced amounts due to less extensive combination creation potential.
