Introduction to Chicken Road 2
Chicken Road 2 is a sequel to the original Chicken Road game, developed by BGAMING, a relatively new but rapidly growing software provider in the online gaming industry. As with any slot machine release, there are many factors that contribute to its success or failure among players and operators alike. This review aims to delve into every aspect of Chicken Road 2, Chicken Road 2 exploring its unique theme, engaging gameplay mechanics, potential payouts, and overall entertainment value.
Theme
The game’s theme is based on the Wild West era in America during the late 1800s. The setting appears to be a dusty town called "Chicken Crossing," which is bustling with cowboys and outlaws roaming around. This western-inspired backdrop is full of charm and excitement, creating an immersive experience for players who enjoy this genre.
Design
Visually speaking, Chicken Road 2 features bright colors and vibrant graphics that bring the Wild West theme to life. The game’s layout consists of six reels with five symbols per row, providing a relatively standard design approach compared to other slots on the market. There are no unique mechanics or layouts like cluster pays or All-ways wins, but instead, it sticks to traditional 25 fixed paylines.
Symbols
As one would expect from a Wild West-themed slot machine, Chicken Road features various symbols that fit its setting perfectly. These include card values (A-K) in the lower-paying section and higher-value cowboys and outlaws in the mid-to-high-paying section. What catches attention are the unique symbol designs, as they seem to be based on actual poker hands, making them relatively easy to recognize for players familiar with cards.
Payouts
The game offers various payout levels based on individual combinations of identical symbols landing consecutively from left to right or starting from any reel regardless of their position. The payouts are moderate compared to other slots and do not offer an extensive variety of paylines, sticking primarily to the standard 25 fixed lines.
Wild Symbols
There is a Wild symbol present in Chicken Road 2, represented by a "Cowboy’s Hat" that appears on reels one through five. When this occurs, it can substitute for any other normal-paying symbols (not wilds or scatters) and thus improve potential payline wins. While not the most generous offer of wild action we’ve seen, its ability to participate in more line completions is always appreciated.
Scatter Symbols
The Scatter symbol here takes on an unusual form: a Golden Nugget icon that stands for "treasure" rather than other usual scatters. The Golden Nuggets appear at all positions across the reels (all six) and can be collected from anywhere within those spaces without specific orientation or requirement to match up.
Bonus Features
Chicken Road 2’s core bonus feature revolves around collecting a minimum of three Scatter Symbols during gameplay, triggering what is called "Free Spins." Once activated through getting three nuggets simultaneously on any area covered by reels one through six (i.e., anywhere within those areas), you’ll get awarded ten rounds where every winning combination generates additional rewards based solely upon the initial award – meaning if someone won $X after hitting this event with regular payoffs then their total becomes ($$Y; here being an arbitrary number). There are also high-scoring line-up combinations.
Free Spins
There is no fixed multiplier or any progressive bonus that accumulates within each spin but does not count towards wins unless collected fully. No new game modes appear during free spins, maintaining consistency between initial and secondary rounds – essentially mirroring the overall experience seen throughout entire gaming period.
