Chicken Road 2 is a video slot game developed by casino software provider, Wazdan. Released in 2020, it serves as a sequel to the original Chicken Road slot machine, building upon its predecessor’s success and introducing new features for players to enjoy.
Theme
The theme of Chicken Road 2 revolves around rural life, specifically focusing Chicken Road 2 on the inhabitants of a small town surrounded by farmland and country roads. The game’s interface is designed to resemble an old-fashioned road that stretches across multiple screens, with each reel represented as a distinct section of highway. As players progress through the game, they’ll encounter various characters inspired by farm animals, including chickens, cows, pigs, and even some birds.
Design
The design of Chicken Road 2 emphasizes a laid-back atmosphere reminiscent of rural landscapes during sunset hours. The color palette predominantly features shades of green, brown, beige, and golden hues that reflect the sun-drenched environments often associated with farmland. Visuals are quite vibrant and inviting, contributing to an immersive experience for players.
Symbols
The game’s symbols consist of various characters inspired by farm animals as well as regular playing card values (Ace through King). Among these characters are four main chickens: Ginger (the red-haired one), Hatcher (a brown-feathered chick who lays eggs), Cluck Norris (a muscular, martial arts-style rooster), and Chicken Little (an anxious-looking chicken from the classic children’s story).
In addition to standard winning combinations made with individual symbols, a series of higher-value combination paylines can be triggered by collecting groups of three identical chickens in a specific pattern on one line.
Payouts
Paylines in Chicken Road 2 are categorized as both horizontal and vertical. The payout for each symbol or character combination follows the classic slot machine format: A combination starting from left to right will trigger payouts according to the game’s paytable, while wins are based on fixed ratios of the total wager.
Wilds
In Chicken Road 2, a wild chicken with glowing eyes can randomly land anywhere within any reel. This special Wild symbol is only available during specific bonus rounds and has an increased impact due to its position. Since it does not offer direct bonuses or substitutions, this aspect remains relatively straightforward but contributes significantly to gameplay dynamics.
Scatters
Two scatters (each a chicken’s egg with two chickens standing near) initiate the free spins feature in Chicken Road 2: Egg Hunt and Road Trip.
- During Egg Hunt mode (won when any scatter hits on reels one and three, regardless of order), there is only one chance to get all five scatters. Each time you spin a reel that already contains an egg, it can lead directly into this bonus round without necessarily activating free spins. This means players may begin with some built-in potential luck for triggering additional free games.
- Road Trip (won when any scatter hits on reels two and four) awards ten consecutive free spins.
In addition to starting these features individually through normal gameplay or landing particular combinations, winning any game in Chicken Road 2 can award a multiplier up to five times as high as what’s normally paid out during standard play.
