This simple yet engaging storyline allows players to engage in an immersive experience that’s more than just spinning reels.
Design
Visually speaking, Chicken Road boasts colorful and eye-catching graphics. Each scene transition introduces fresh new designs, providing a captivating journey through farm settings, including rolling hills covered with crops and sunlit barns where chickens roost at night. Symbolized characters, such as the happy chicken symbol that represents both a high-value win and serves as an active wild, further enhance gameplay experience.
Symbols
High-paying symbols, ranging from 5 to 15 times of bet for three-of-a-kind combinations are represented by an array of farm-friendly elements:
-
Happy Chicken (Wild): Serves as the highest paying symbol, offering generous awards up to $75.
