Chicken Road 2 is a casino slot game developed by BGaming, a relatively new player in the iGaming market that has quickly made a name for itself with its high-quality and engaging games. As its name suggests, this slot game follows up from the original Chicken Road series but offers some significant improvements over its predecessor.
Theme and Design
Chicken Road 2 is Chicken Road 2 set against a backdrop of an abandoned city, with crumbling buildings and streets lined with weeds and debris. This post-apocalyptic landscape serves as a backdrop to the various avian characters that populate the game’s reels. These birds are not just any ordinary creatures – they’re outlaws on the run from the law, seeking fortune and revenge in this desolate wasteland.
The slot’s design is sleek and modern, with vibrant colors and sharp graphics making for an immersive experience. The UI is intuitive and user-friendly, allowing players to easily navigate between settings and features without disrupting gameplay. Overall, Chicken Road 2 presents itself as a top-notch game that does justice to the series’ reputation.
Symbols
The reels of Chicken Road 2 are populated by various symbols inspired by the bird theme:
- Low-paying symbols include A-J card values, presented with an animalistic twist: each suit has been replaced with a different species (e.g., hearts become hawks).
- Medium-paying symbols depict the game’s outlaws – each character represents a specific type of bird (sparrows, owls, crows), while others symbolize more general avian-related concepts like 'flying’ and 'nesting.’
- High-paying symbols show various characters who can help or hinder our feathered protagonists: the sheriff, representing law enforcement; or various road types, each carrying a unique value.
Payouts
When forming winning combinations, the payout multipliers apply as follows:
- Low-paying A-J card values pay out between 1-5 coins for a five-reel combination
- Medium-paying symbols offer more substantial returns: owls yield up to 25 coins, while sparrow symbols reach 50 coins per five-reel combination.
- High-paying characters like the sheriff and road types provide the highest payouts: these can range from an impressive 100-1,000 coins or even higher.
Wilds
The wild symbol in Chicken Road 2 is represented by a police badge. It functions as expected – substituting for any other regular symbol to complete winning combinations and pay out according to their value. There are some unique twists on the classic wild concept: if used in combination with certain special symbols, the police badge can trigger different effects (explained below).
Scatters
Chicken Road 2 features two types of scatters:
- One scatter is an eggshell icon that serves as a standard scatter.
- The second scatter symbol represents our fowl outlaws and appears on the last reel only. Its unique behavior allows it to spread across other reels, creating multiple winning combinations with increased payouts.
Bonus Features
Chicken Road 2 offers several bonus features designed to provide players with extra rewards and exciting gameplay:
- Feature Buy : A function that enables direct access to free spins at higher rates.
- Free Spins Bonus Game : This can be triggered either randomly during standard play or through the Feature Buy option mentioned above. It awards a set number of spins (10-20) with guaranteed wins on every spin, due to increased reel multipliers.
Gameplay
Players have several options when it comes to customizing their gaming experience in Chicken Road 2:
- Bet range: from $/€0.1 to $/€40 per spin
- RTP stands at an above-average rate of 96%
- Volatility falls somewhere between medium and high – players can expect varying levels of reward uncertainty.
The maximum payout that the game is capable of returning is tied directly to a unique combination involving some bonus features: a specific mix of free spins, scatters, wilds, or other special conditions may bring payouts in excess of 20,000 coins.
