The Big Chicken Run is a casino slot machine game developed by Barcrest Games, a renowned name in the online gaming industry. Released in 2014, it has since become one of their most popular titles, captivating players with its unique theme and exciting gameplay features.
Theme and Design
Big Chicken Run’s setting revolves around the theme of farm animals on the run from an evil farmer, known as "The Farmer." The game is designed to resemble a cartoon-style animated movie, complete with colorful graphics, humorous sound effects, and entertaining animations. Each symbol Chicken Run represents various farmyard creatures, including chickens, turkeys, cows, pigs, and horses.
Symbols
A standard Big Chicken Run slot machine typically features five reels and 10 paylines. The game’s symbols can be grouped into three categories: low-paying symbols (2-5 playing card values), medium-paying symbols (3-5 farm animals in pairs or singles) and high-paying symbols (The Farmer’s hat, the Chickens, and a Special Chicken). In addition to standard symbols, there are also special symbol combinations that activate various game features.
Payouts
In Big Chicken Run, payouts vary depending on the combination of matching symbols appearing on adjacent reels. The highest paying regular symbol is the Chickens in sets of three or more across the paylines for up to 5 times total bet amount and 10x bonus multipliers. The Special Chicken can substitute all other symbols except Scatters, enabling winning combinations.
Wilds
In this game, the Special Chicken serves as a wild symbol, allowing it to replace any standard reel icon when forming a winning combination in specific reels. Although not appearing during every spin or available everywhere on the reels at one time, its appearances can generate extra opportunities for the player.
Scatters and Bonus Features
The Scattering symbols appear exclusively on middle three reels (2-4), which triggers the Pick Me Bonus feature upon any two middle reel locations filled with this game symbol when triggering it will automatically award a free spin round. By getting the Chicken Foot scatters, you can have an enhanced bonus where more extra spins are generated after each pick for up to 25 free games.
