Chicken Run is a popular online casino slot machine developed by Microgaming, one of the leading providers of gaming software to the global iGaming industry. The game is based on the 2000 British computer-animated comedy film of the Chicken Run game same name, which was produced by Aardman Animations and Nickelodeon Movies.

Theme and Design

The theme of Chicken Run revolves around the escape plans of a group of chickens from their farm, led by Ginger (voiced by Julia Sawalha), a plump and proud Cornish hen. The game’s design is faithful to the film, featuring colorful graphics, animated characters, and engaging sound effects that evoke the sense of adventure and excitement.

The slot machine has five reels, three rows, and twenty fixed paylines. Players can adjust their bet using various denominations, ranging from 0.20 to 200 credits per spin. The game’s betting range is relatively wide, making it accessible to players with different budgets and preferences.

Symbols

The Chicken Run slots symbols are divided into two categories: high-paying and low-paying symbols. High-paying symbols include Ginger (the lead chicken), Rocky the Rooster, Mrs. Tweedy (the farmer’s wife), and a basket of eggs. These characters are drawn from the film and add to the game’s theme and charm.

Low-paying symbols consist of standard card values A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9, as well as three egg-related icons: two golden eggs and an egg-shaped container with "Fowl" written on it. These symbols pay out relatively small amounts when matched in winning combinations, but they still contribute to the game’s overall payouts.

Payouts

The payouts for each symbol combination vary depending on the type of chicken-themed or standard card value icons that appear. For example, five Ginger characters award 3,000 credits, while five Mrs. Tweedy characters pay out a smaller amount of 750 credits.

When playing Chicken Run with maximum bets, winning combinations are paid according to the game’s payout table:

• High-paying symbols: x100 – x10,000
• Low-paying symbols: x5 – x50

Wilds and Scatters

The "Ginger" wild symbol can substitute for other characters in a combination except scatters. When Ginger appears on reels 1-4, it creates winning combinations by substituting low-value symbols.

Scatter wins are paid out when two or more of the egg icons (golden eggs) appear anywhere on the reels during one spin. Two eggs trigger an instant win of up to x100 multiplier, while three and four eggs award higher multipliers: x250 and x1,000 respectively. Five eggs have no payout.

Bonus Features

One of Chicken Run’s main attractions is its bonus feature – the "Pecking Order" game. Activated by landing five egg icons anywhere on the reels during a spin or as part of other combinations that result in one free spin. The Pecking Order features additional gameplay elements where you match eggs under each chicken’s beak with your picks, trying to collect at least three before collecting another set.

Chicken Run also includes an Egg-laying feature – Ginger randomly selects two symbols from the egg field and applies them onto reels 1-3 for instant cash rewards or multiplier prizes ranging between x5-x50 during every game cycle.

Free Spins

The free spins round can be triggered by landing three "Mrs. Tweedy" symbols on any active reel, which starts five complimentary games with a 4x multiplier applied throughout the bonus period.
