Theme
Chicken Road 2 is a farm-themed online slot machine developed by Evoplay Entertainment. The game’s theme revolves around an adventurous journey through a rural countryside, where players can explore various aspects of farming and Chicken Road 2 animal husbandry. The game’s storyline seems to be inspired by traditional Chinese culture, with symbols such as pagodas, dragons, and cherry blossoms appearing throughout the game.
Design
In terms of design, Chicken Road 2 boasts bright and colorful graphics that create a lively atmosphere on-screen. The background image shows a serene countryside scene with rolling hills and lush greenery, while the reels are designed to resemble ancient wooden gates. The overall aesthetic is reminiscent of traditional Asian architecture, complete with intricately carved woodwork and ornate patterns.
The game’s symbols include various animals such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep, goats, horses, oxen, and even a dragon or two. Players will also encounter traditional Chinese-themed symbols like lotus flowers, bamboo shoots, and cherry blossoms. The High-Low Paytable can be accessed by clicking on the ‘?’ button in the lower left corner of the screen.
Symbols
The game’s 15 paylines are divided into three categories: low-paying, medium-paying, and high-paying symbols. Low-paying symbols include animals such as chickens (5-10 coins), ducks (6-12 coins), geese (8-16 coins), pigs (9-18 coins), sheep (10-20 coins), goats (11-22 coins), horses (12-24 coins), oxen (13-26 coins).
Medium-paying symbols include pagodas, dragons, and cherry blossoms. Pagodas are the most rewarding medium-paying symbol, offering 25-50 coins for a single combination of five on an active payline. Dragons come next with a reward range of 20-40 coins, while cherry blossoms offer up to 30 coins.
High-paying symbols include Chinese coins (125-500 coins), and ‘Bonus’ logos that act as scatters and wilds (1000-2500 coins). Players can win up to x10 their stake for landing a single Bonus logo on all five reels.
Payouts
Chicken Road 2 features an RTP of 95.22%, indicating that the game pays out approximately $4,525 in winnings per $100 wagered over a prolonged period. The theoretical payout percentage (RTP) is determined by various factors including volatility and betting range, both discussed later on.
Wilds & Scatters
Chicken Road 2 features two main special symbols: wilds (the ‘Bonus’ logo), which can substitute for all other standard icons in winning combinations, and scatters, also represented by the same ‘Bonus’ logo. When one or more Bonus logos appear on reels 1-3 from left to right, players are awarded free spins.
When two ‘Bonus’ logos land on an active payline during the main game, it triggers a re-spin feature: a random symbol appears above reel 5 for that spin only and expands into all four positions. This allows for higher payouts by providing more opportunities for winning combinations.
Bonus Features
Players can choose from one of three Bonus Options to begin their free spins round:
- Farm Frenzy (10 free spins): Each win activates a sticky symbol, awarding 2-3 re-spins.
- Pig’s Feast (12 free spins): Pigs accumulate with each victory; all accumulated pigs turn wild on the final spin for double rewards.
- Chicken Rampage (15 free spins): Reels shift randomly to trigger high-paying combinations and enhance potential wins.
Free Spins
The ‘Bonus’ logo activates 10-25 Free Spins based on how many appear across reels 1, 2, or both. During the free spin rounds, winnings are tripled for each occurrence of a new symbol being added. Additional re-spins may be granted up to three times per bonus round.
RTP & Volatility
Chicken Road 2 features an RTP (Return to Player) percentage of 95.22%. The game’s medium-low volatility is reflected in the payout structure and frequency, offering fairly consistent payouts without extreme highs or lows.
Bets can range between $0.1 to $50 per spin, with higher stakes triggering rewards from lower-paying symbols for bigger wins over multiple spins. On average, Chicken Road 2 appears capable of sustaining itself throughout prolonged sessions by producing continuous but relatively modest returns in most cases.
Betting Range
Players can select their desired bet level using the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons or use ‘Auto Bet’ to automatically adjust stakes between $0.1 and $50 every spin for uninterrupted gameplay.
Max Win
Chicken Road 2’s max win is determined by multiplying any single standard symbol combination (independent of wins from wilds) with a bonus multiplier: x5 on basic lines, doubling this value if playing with ‘Bet Level Max’.
A possible maximum payout of up to $1500 when using the highest stake ($50). Players can see their progress toward reaching max win totals by monitoring bet history within each game session.
