Wilds and Scatters

In Chicken Road slots, the Rooster serves as both Wild and Scatter. While in its standard form (no bonus) it substitutes for other symbols to complete winning combinations, when five or more Roosters appear anywhere on the reels, they trigger the Free Spins feature. As a Scatter, no matter their position on the board, five or more will initiate the corresponding round of spins.

Bonus Features and Free Spins

When players land five Scatters (Rooster) simultaneously in any positions across the reels, 20 free spins are activated:

  • Reels with extra Wilds become ‘wild reels’
  • The slot machine has a re-spin feature
  • Any new winnings on these rolls accumulate with current win totals

Free Spins and Their Rules

Once triggered, each of the 20 Free Spins operates as follows:

  • All Roosters display their faces upside down; they appear randomly.
  • The ‘Wild Reel’ bonus allows all reels to have a ‘wild reel,’ greatly increasing chances for combinations.

Return-to-Player (RTP) Percentage

According to the manufacturer, Chicken Road has an RTP of 95.28%. This rate signifies how much money each unit staked by players is expected to return over time as winnings and rewards.

Volatility Levels

This game can be classified as Medium to High volatility due to:

  • Paying a fairly average win distribution compared with low and high volatiles.
  • Having one ‘super rare’ slot symbol (Rooster) in addition to higher RTP potential but some slots will still reward frequent wins.
