The Chicken Road 2 slot machine is a sequel to the original game, and it promises to deliver more of what players loved in the first installment. Developed by Microgaming, one of the most renowned casino software providers in the industry, this slot aims to transport players back to the Wild West with its unique theme, engaging gameplay, and rewarding features.
Theme
The Chicken Road 2 slot machine is set against a rustic backdrop of rolling hills, sun-kissed plains, and towering mountains. The game’s logo, "Chicken Road," emblazoned across the screen in bold letters, hints at the adventures that Chicken Road 2 await within. As players spin the reels, they’ll encounter an assortment of farm animals, including chickens, cows, horses, pigs, and even a curious chicken hawk or two.
The game’s theme is straightforward: a group of farmers has set up a makeshift road through their farmland to bring goods to market. However, things take an unexpected turn when a gang of outlaws arrives on the scene, seeking to rustle the animals for themselves. It’s up to players to help the farmers defend their property and livestock in this rootin’-tootin’ slot machine experience.
Design
Visually, the Chicken Road 2 slot machine is a treat. The game’s graphics are vibrant and colorful, with crisp animations that bring the farmyard characters to life. Players will notice an assortment of visual effects throughout the game, including golden highlights on winning combinations, animated particles around symbols, and a satisfying sound effect when credits are won.
The slot has five reels, three rows, and 30 fixed paylines, making it easy for players to place bets and start spinning without any fuss. The control panel is straightforward, with clear labels for bet placement, spin button, auto-play features, and settings menu.
Symbols
As mentioned earlier, the game’s symbols are centered around farm animals, including:
- Low-paying icons: Pig (10 coins), Cow (20 coins), Horse (30 coins)
- High-paying icons: Chicken (50 coins), Chicken Hawk (100 coins)
The highest-paying symbol is a scatter icon called "Farmhouse" which offers 200-coin payouts.
Payouts
While the game’s RTP percentage has not been officially disclosed, it can be assumed to fall within Microgaming’s standard range of 96.1% to 98%. To calculate potential returns, players need to understand that Chicken Road 2 is a low-to-medium volatility slot machine, meaning relatively small winnings occur frequently but larger jackpots are harder to achieve.
Wilds
The game doesn’t have a traditional wild symbol, which often substitutes for other symbols in winning combinations. However, there’s an **Extra Wild" feature that adds extra wilds during free spins rounds (explained below).
