PoggiPlay’s "Chicken Run" is a 5-reel, 10-payline online slot machine game that transports players to a charming farm setting where chickens are on an epic adventure. The game boasts colorful graphics and an engaging storyline that immerses players into Chicken Run the world of clucking hens trying to escape the farmer.
Game Theme
The theme revolves around chickens attempting to break free from their coop, while avoiding the vigilant eye of Farmer Brown. The background is set in a lush green farm with trees and hills, complete with animated chicken silhouettes flying overhead as if inspired by the movie "Chicken Run." This whimsical setting creates an inviting atmosphere for players seeking lighthearted entertainment.
Game Design
Upon launching the game, users are greeted by a classic 5×3 grid layout. Symbols include various chickens in different colors (red, blue, green), farm-related items like eggs, scarecrows, and of course, Farmer Brown’s iconic tweezers used for collecting escaped hens. The buttons at the bottom provide an easy-to-use interface for managing bets.
Symbols
The regular paying symbols consist of:
- Chickens in different colors (5×1 scatter pay) offering various rewards
- Eggs ranging from 3 to 10 coins, representing prizes for combinations formed on active lines
- Scarecrows yielding between 2 and 8 coins depending on the combination
Farmer Brown’s tweezers is designated as a high-paying symbol. Collecting five Tweezer icons will grant 50x the bet amount.
Payouts
Wins are calculated using the classic left-to-right (from reel 1 to 5) payout structure, with combinations formed by symbols landing on adjacent reels (1 and 2, or 3 and 4).
- Single-line payouts can go up to 2500 coins for a combination of five Chicken icons
- The highest payout achievable through a single spin is set at x500 the stake
Wilds & Scatters
The Chicken icon serves as both Wild and Scatter. When appearing on reel 5, it takes on the role of Wild, while any position featuring multiple Chickens in various colors enables Free Spins.
Three or more scattered Chicken symbols trigger a total of six to twelve free games depending on their placement:
- Three scatters award six spins
- Four reward eight rotations
- Five bestow ten turns
Bonus Features
A prominent aspect of the game is its bonus rounds triggered by both Wild and Scatter symbols, ensuring that each round offers surprises.
One unique feature worth mentioning involves Farmer Brown’s sneaky interventions. With an additional wild in place for each free spin entered during his reappearance sequence – called "Farmer Brown Reaps," which sees him trying to capture the runaway chickens with tweezers. Landing a chicken next to the Tweezer icon will lock it, providing protection from further appearances and securing more combinations.
Free Spins
During Free Spins rounds initiated by Scattered Chicken symbols or Farmer Brown’s intervention bonus round (referred as "Bonus Reaps" on the site), wilds are in effect. Wins within this feature accumulate based upon combinations formed using available paytable values for the activated reels and active line play.
RTP & Volatility
PoggiPlay slots typically operate at high RTP levels, offering more substantial payouts relative to total wagers than their low-medium counterparts but often accompanied by increased risks due to higher variance or volatility. Specifically designed for fans of riskier slot experiences where winning big occasionally outweighs the probability aspect over sustained gameplay sessions.
The return-to-player (RTP) is not explicitly stated in PoggiPlay documentation, making direct RTP comparison impossible without access internal metrics and data gathered from individual session performances on diverse platforms where this game might run under varied operating conditions and client settings.
Betting Range & Max Win
Minimum Bet : $0.10 per spin (the lowest bet amount for the slot as presented in documentation)
Maximum Bet : A non-documented, variable value based upon local platform or user preferences.
The actual highest achievable payout varies from session to another due to potential random number generator updates on an ongoing basis but a documented top win of 10 times your initial total wager per round limits the max return.
