Chicken Road 2 is a sequel to the original game by GameArt, a provider known for its vibrant and engaging slots machines. This review will delve into every aspect of the game, from its theme to gameplay, providing an in-depth analysis of what this slot has to offer players.
The Theme and Design
The Chicken Road 2 slot Chicken Road 2 is set on a farm, where the main character, Cluck Norris (a punny name for the chicken), takes center stage. The design is cartoonish and colorful, with animated characters and fun sound effects adding an entertaining feel to the game. Players will see chickens running around the reels, while cows and other farm animals occasionally appear on the screen.
The game’s background is designed to resemble a farmyard at dusk or dawn, depending on the time of day chosen by players when selecting their preferred settings. The overall atmosphere created by Chicken Road 2 is light-hearted and fun, perfect for casual slot machine enthusiasts looking for an entertaining experience without breaking a sweat about strategy or complex rules.
Reels and Paylines
Chicken Road 2 features a standard 5×3 grid with nine active pay lines. This may seem limited compared to other slots machines offering multiple dozen lines, but the low volatility (more on this later) helps balance out the odds for players.
Players can choose from an impressive range of bet sizes, spanning between $0.20 and $200 per spin. Given that there are 10 available betting levels, each one covering two coins, it is clear that Chicken Road 2 caters to both high-rollers looking to put their stakes on the line and tight-fisted beginners hoping to test their luck with minimal capital.
The game boasts a fixed RTP of 96% which we will discuss at length in our analysis. This should provide enough reassurance for players seeking balance between risk and potential reward, although the lack of information regarding individual game variability remains unclear until further noticed.
Wilds & Scatters
Chicken Road 2 relies heavily on Wild Chicken (W), an element we’ve seen before in many slots machine games but here is depicted with animated movements when landing. The chicken features a different icon for each base symbol it replaces and the animation triggers a cash reward which seems to be a little higher than standard wins.
There are also special Free Spins scatters, marked by the logo of two birds taking flight together (T&F). These 3-Twin Scatters award up-to-25 free spins with increased payouts during this feature but these do not accumulate or multiply; you cannot store more in a ‘feature balance’ so they essentially get spent upon release.
