Chicken Rush is a 5-reel online slots game developed by Pragmatic Play, an award-winning iGaming developer known for creating engaging and immersive gaming experiences. This game takes players on a farm-to-table adventure where they can collect eggs while enjoying stunning graphics and a lively soundtrack.
Theme and Design
The theme of Chicken Rush is centered around a farm, complete with lush green pastures, barns, and happy chickens pecking at the ground for treats. The background of the game features a beautiful sunny day on a peaceful farm, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. As players navigate Chicken Rush through the reels, they will encounter various symbols representing different stages in the egg-laying process.
Symbols
The game’s paytable is divided into two categories: high-value and low-value symbols. High-value symbols include:
- Scatter (Golden Egg): This symbol triggers free spins when three or more appear on an active line.
- Bonus Wilds (Brown Chickens): These wilds can substitute for all regular symbols except the scatter, enabling players to create winning combinations.
Low-value symbols consist of 9-10 and J-Q-K-A cards. The payout amounts vary depending on the combination and bet value, with the lowest paying out as low as $0.15 per spin (minimum bet).
Payouts
The payouts for Chicken Rush are relatively standard compared to other Pragmatic Play games. To create a winning combination, players must land at least three of the same symbols or symbol combinations on an active payline. The highest payout is awarded when five Bonus Wilds appear on an active line.
Here’s how much can be won:
- 9-10: $15-$20 (5x bet)
- J-Q-K-A cards: $25-$30 (5x bet)
- Brown Chickens: $50-$1000 (max bet, depending on the combination)
The scatter symbol does not award a payout when triggered but acts as an entry point to free spins.
Wilds
Brown Chicken Wilds are present throughout the reels and can replace any low or high-value symbols except scatters. When two Brown Chickens appear next to each other horizontally on reel 3, they expand into stacked wilds that cover the entire reel.
This unique feature, called "Sticky Stacks," is highly beneficial in creating winning combinations.
Scatters
The Golden Egg Scatter symbol can be found throughout the reels and must appear three or more times in any position to trigger free spins. When activated, players will receive:
- 15 Free Spins (with tripled winnings)
- 3 Sticky Wilds on reel 5
- Chance of re-triggering
Scatters do not pay out when triggered; their primary function is to award free spins.
Bonus Features
Chicken Rush does not have a dedicated bonus round but takes advantage of the features mentioned earlier: sticky wilds, scatters, and free spins. While there’s no interactive mini-game or progressive jackpot, players can still win substantial prizes through strategic betting and smart playing decisions.
Free Spins
As part of its base game feature set, Chicken Rush rewards players with free spins when three Golden Eggs appear on an active line. These 15 Free Spins come with a bonus boost: tripled winnings during the spin duration! Re-triggering is possible, which can provide up to four sets of 10+ Free Spins.
RTP (Return-to-Player) and Volatility
Chicken Rush’s Return-to-Player percentage has not been publicly disclosed by Pragmatic Play but remains relatively stable compared to other slot machines. The game falls under the medium-volatility category, offering balanced rewards for moderate-risk takers. Players can adjust bet ranges from $0.20-$100 per spin, catering to various player types.
Betting Range
Players have a range of 21 options within which they may choose their betting values (from $0.15/min up to $100/spin) across the reels while adjusting number bets between one and ten dollars (a common betting pattern in online slots).
The game will continue automatically until all active coins are depleted; after that, it stops playing.
Max Win
In Chicken Rush, players can achieve a max win of $50-$1,000 on an initial bet when 5 Bonus Wilds appear with other high-value or wild symbols. This is one among the slot games maximum wins; some slots may award even larger payouts in certain situations like progressive jackpots.
Gameplay
The controls and user interface are easy to navigate for players familiar with video slots. All features, bonus settings, sound preferences, auto-play options can be adjusted directly on the screen without exiting the game session.
