Chicken Road 2 is a sequel to the original Chicken Road slot machine game that was first released in 2014 by software provider Yggdrasil Gaming. The theme of the game revolves around the journey of two chicken friends, Cluck Norris and Chuck Norris (yes, named after the famous martial artist), as they travel down a winding road filled with obstacles and rewards.
Design
The design of Chicken Road 2 is an improvement over its predecessor in terms of visuals and Chicken Road 2 overall aesthetic. The slot machine features vibrant colors and detailed graphics that transport players to a countryside setting complete with rolling hills, fields, and rural homes. The background image changes throughout the game as players progress through various levels.
Symbols
The symbols used on Chicken Road 2 are themed around the country road journey, including playing cards from nine to ace (which serve as low-value icons) and high-paying chicken-themed symbols such as Cluck Norris’s Car, a Tractor, a Poultry Farm, and Chuck Norris himself. The game also features two wild symbols – one that is blank except for a big 'WILD’ label across it and another with Chuck Norris in his martial arts stance.
Payouts
The payouts on Chicken Road 2 are as follows: the lowest-paying icons (9-Ace) award between 5-10x bets when five land horizontally, while Cluck’s Car, Tractor, Poultry Farm, and the blank wild all pay out up to 25-100x stake for landing four across a single row. The maximum win potential in Chicken Road is tied directly to Chuck Norris (the highest-paying icon) which can offer payouts as high as 4000 times your total wager.
Wilds
The Wild symbols on this slot game perform their expected function by substituting for any other symbol, but also expand across the entire reel it lands on whenever part of a win combination occurs. Additionally, they award 2-5x stake per winning combination and increase the multiplier by up to 20 times when appearing.
Scatters
The Scatter is an image labeled 'Free Spins’, which awards between 12-100 extra spins if landing two or more anywhere on reels one through five (without affecting any line win potential). The free spin game can be retriggered and has no limits placed upon it – giving a considerable advantage to those participating.
Bonus Features
There are three main bonus features in this slot machine: the Chicken Road feature, Wild Trail feature, and Chuck Norris Free Spins.
-
Chicken Road : When all five symbols land across reels one through five on an activated bet line, Cluck’s vehicle travels along a path where random prizes (up to 100x bets) are awarded to players by encountering specific objects or events in the background.
-
Wild Trail : Wild Trail activates automatically during each round; whenever any wild symbol lands anywhere on the grid they create a new series of fully-paying wild symbols down that particular reel which extends through five reels wide.
-
Chuck Norris Free Spins : This bonus may be initiated by spinning two 'Free Spin’ Scatters (without affecting line win combinations). Players are rewarded with 10, or twenty-five free rounds depending on how many scatters were collected in total.
Free Spins
During these free spins all player settings remain active – wilds expand across their respective reels; retriggering isn’t restricted by any limits giving users an upper edge over normal gameplay due to potential high multipliers achieved throughout sequences. In fact, up-to 25 extra rounds are available when two scatters appear in a single round.
RTP and Volatility
The theoretical return on investment of Chicken Road is set at 96% RTP (Return To Player). This slot has medium volatility making it slightly unpredictable with each spin affecting overall outcome significantly.
Betting Range and Max Win
Players can choose to place bets starting from £0.40 up until £100; which allows a wide variety for various players’ bankrolls.
- Max Win : As per earlier description – winning amounts may reach as high as 4000x original stake due mainly to Chuck Norris’s presence on board during the free spin sequences (and standard game play).
