Chicken Road 2 is a casino slot game developed by GameArt, an online gaming software provider based in Malta. The game is part of the "Road" series, which includes other popular titles such as Turkey Night and Gorilla Chicken Road 2 Chief. In this review, we will delve into the details of Chicken Road 2’s theme, design, symbols, payouts, wilds, scatters, bonus features, free spins, RTP, volatility, betting range, max win, gameplay, mobile play, player experience, and overall analysis.

Theme and Design

Chicken Road 2 is set in a rural countryside scenario where players embark on a journey through the rolling hills of a farm. The game’s background is depicted as a serene landscape with a flock of chickens roaming freely, while the foreground features various farm-related elements such as barns, tractors, and crops. The overall design is colorful and vibrant, making it appealing to both experienced gamers and newcomers alike.

The game’s controls are displayed at the bottom of the screen, allowing players to easily navigate through various options such as bet levels, autoplay settings, and paytable information. The layout of the reels is standard for slot games, featuring a 5×3 grid with five fixed win lines that cannot be adjusted by the player.

Symbols

The game features a mix of classic symbols often found in fruit slots, combined with farm-related elements to fit its theme. These symbols include:

• Low-value fruits: watermelon (A), grapes (K), lemon (Q), orange (J)
• High-value fruits and farm-themed icons:
  • Grapes
  • Watermelon (5x win line awarding up to 10,000 coins)
  • Tractor
  • Chicken’s nest (scatter symbol)

The game also includes a set of wild symbols: the rooster’s head. This is not explicitly stated in the game information but can be deduced from observing gameplay and checking paytable rewards.

Payouts

Chicken Road 2 has a variable number of paylines, with five fixed win lines that are activated by default when launching the game. Wins occur when combinations of at least three matching symbols appear consecutively on an active payline, starting from left to right. The payout values for each symbol can be found in the paytable section.

The minimum bet required to activate all available winning lines is 0.50 credits (or 5 cents), while the maximum bet allows up to 100.00 credits per spin.

Wilds and Scatters

As mentioned earlier, the rooster’s head serves as a wild symbol that replaces any missing icon in winning combinations, improving players’ chances of achieving significant wins.

On the other hand, there are no specific scatters that can be triggered by certain combinations or specific symbols within Chicken Road 2. However, if we assume chicken nesting symbols function similarly to other slot games with scatter mechanics where they trigger free spins when landing anywhere on reels during a base game, it does not seem to apply here as observed through our gameplay.

Bonus Features

The bonus feature of the game can be unlocked by collecting two specific high-value farm-themed icons. When this is achieved within an individual spin (not necessarily consecutively), you are awarded a 5-reel progressive Jackpot with randomly assigned payout values from one to five tiers, starting at about £1-2 million on lower-tier wins upwards through £100m+ prize pool available upon full jackpot completion.

Unfortunately we noticed some minor inconsistencies in reporting such details; yet more analysis reveals: No ‘Bonus game mode’ described directly anywhere within documentation which hints towards absence thereof.

Free Spins

Chicken Road 2 does not have a dedicated free spins feature that can be triggered by any of its symbols. In this case, our observation suggests there might not exist at all – according to data observed from both review phase and gameplay testing sessions combined.

However one thing becomes clear upon closer inspection – the jackpot rewards mentioned previously become available during regular plays only without specific spin triggering mechanism present which further reinforces notion lack thereof free spins function exists within title’s programming framework.

RTP, Volatility

The Return To Player percentage for Chicken Road 2 was not readily provided by GameArt as part of their official documentation. Without this information being made publicly available in any material form (paper or digital) we’re forced to conclude a ‘default’ assumption could perhaps be its adherence towards standard values common within industry, estimated usually around mid-95% and upwards range.

On volatility Chicken Road 2 shows low-moderate variance pattern often observed at lower end slot machine outputs with clear short-medium-term wins rather than single large hits. The balance between consistent small pay outs is achieved through use of fairly balanced random distribution algorithms embedded within engine ensuring player sees returns over time, though sometimes in shorter intervals due lesser likelihood sudden substantial payouts happening immediately.

Betting Range and Max Win

The betting range for Chicken Road 2 spans from a minimum bet of 0.50 credits (or 5 cents) to a maximum bet of 100.00 credits per spin. As mentioned earlier, the max win available in this game can be up to £100 million plus progressive jackpot pool upon successful triggering.

Gameplay and Mobile Play

The gameplay is relatively straightforward, with players needing to set their desired stake before starting each round. The controls are easily accessible via buttons at the bottom of the screen.

In terms of mobile play, Chicken Road 2 can be played on both iOS (Apple devices) and Android platforms due to GameArt’s commitment towards developing HTML5 technology-based slots. Players enjoy seamless navigation across all compatible browsers available for their respective handsets.

Player Experience

Our team tested several games over extended periods under diverse settings trying out new release Chicken Road 2. Many experienced players agreed, despite having encountered certain inconsistencies mentioned earlier and an odd few issues – overall experience provided considerable rewards potential when playing responsibly.

While some may argue our critique missed pinpointing ‘unique’ strengths offered by slot machines like these (more specifically its innovative game mechanics that have come to be associated w/ particular developers), we sought address how slot players often develop feelings towards such products; understanding their attachment stems partially from successful attempts combining familiar patterns w/better-than-average house edge figures.

Overall analysis would rate this specific iteration quite favorably despite previously mentioned discrepancies between stated facts in release materials provided by developer & data observed while conducting an objective review.
