Introduction to Chicken Run

Chicken Run is a 5-reel, 20-payline video slot developed by Blueprint Gaming, released in 2016 as part of their ‘Popular Movies’ series. This game is based on the animated film of the same name directed by Nick Park and Peter Lord in 2000.

Theme and Design

The theme of Chicken Chicken Run Run revolves around a flock of chickens escaping from an evil farmer’s clutches, set against a backdrop of the English countryside during World War II. The design elements reflect this setting, featuring traditional farmhouses, rolling hills, and vintage aircraft flying overhead.

Upon launching the game, players are greeted by the energetic and colorful graphics, which immediately evoke the lighthearted and comedic tone of the movie. The reels themselves are situated within a wooden coop, complete with intricate details such as hanging eggs, torn curtains, and rusty farm tools adding to the charm of this classic film-inspired design.

Symbols

As one would expect from an animation-to-video slot adaptation, Chicken Run features a mix of both generic symbols seen in numerous other slots alongside unique ones that directly relate to its movie origins. These include card suits (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, and Spades) denoting 10 through Ace as the standard low-win symbols.

Payouts

The medium- win symbols are comprised of four icons representing main characters from the film: Mrs. Tweedy’s infamous fried chicken dish; Ginger Mouse, the charming mouse who steals her heart with a stolen pie crust and his charisma; Bunty the large but kind-hearted chicken leading an escape plan through an aircraft; and one other farmer or farm animal that will be further clarified as gameplay is explored.

Wilds

The wild symbol of Chicken Run has been inspired by Zoot, an African Grey Parrot known from popular culture for mimicry and being a lovable bird. This parrot substitutes all standard symbols in the game to complete winning combinations, while it also expands or splits into 4-3-2 Wild symbols when three or two ‘Free Spins’ scatters land on reels one-through-five and four-through-three respectively.

The high-stakes player will be able to unlock an exclusive progressive jackpot within the bonus rounds, making each gaming session potentially much more valuable than in any other similar slots out there – this really is no ordinary chicken run after all!

Scatters

Bonus scatter symbol representing three screeching hens activates free games when anywhere on the reels one through five but not necessarily consecutively from left-right or vice versa, thus allowing players an opportunity to benefit greatly.

If three appear in any position horizontally across a row 2-5 you will immediately enter bonus rounds mode.
