The Chicken Rough slot machine is a 5-reel, 3-row online casino game designed by NetEnt, one of the leading software providers in the industry. The theme of this slot revolves around farm animals, specifically chickens, adding a fun twist Chicken Rough to the classic fruit-themed slots.
Theme and Design
As mentioned earlier, the Chicken Rough slot machine has a unique theme centered around farm animals, particularly chickens. Upon launching the game, players are immediately immersed in an agricultural setting with vibrant graphics and animations that bring the characters to life. The reels are set against a sunny sky with green hills, complete with moving clouds. This visual style is colorful, cartoonish, and playful.
The design of Chicken Rough blends traditional slot machine elements with modern features. Symbols on the reels include low-value symbols like the standard Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, and Nine of various suits in red and black colors; these are relatively easy to understand and don’t add much complexity to gameplay but contribute to a balance between payout potential and frequency.
Symbols
In addition to the traditional card values mentioned above (Aces through Nines), Chicken Rough includes several high-paying symbols inspired by farm animals:
- The Rooster, symbolizing love or desire
- A collection of 3 Eggs in different colors
- A pair of Gloves as a utility tool
- A Cart and a Farmer’s Wheelbarrow for added depth
These symbols pay out according to standard slot machine rules. For instance, landing three identical icons across any row is generally rewarded with various cash amounts.
Payouts
Paying out in both ways – left-to-right & right-to-left, payouts are paid only when a symbol combination has 3 or more identical matching symbols along the active paylines, starting from either end of the reels. Each line can contain a maximum of one wild symbol per line and up to four win lines per spin.
Wilds
The Rooster symbol acts as both a regular wild for substituting other icons in a winning combination but also holds an additional role as the bonus trigger when it appears fully on its designated spot at any point within the initial three reels, initiating either Free Spins with a random multiplier applied or triggering one of four various Bonus features. These bonuses include rewards such as cash payouts, multipliers, and other fun perks.
Scatters
The Wild Eggs icon serves multiple purposes:
- As the highest-paying Scatter when fully stacked on any of its designated positions within reels 1 to 3; landing it at these areas awards one Free Spin round.
- When three or four are landed in those same spaces from left-to-right across all active paylines during gameplay without stopping, another Free Spin is added.
Bonus Features
Upon meeting specific conditions, the following bonus features can be triggered:
- Bonus 1 – A Rooster’s Feast : This feature awards players with a randomly chosen multiplier between two and five times of their total stake when activated.
- Bonus 2 – The Gloves’ Challenge : A fun game mode where ten egg-laying chickens are released on screen, each bringing their reward if the eggs are collected by a running chicken within certain parameters. Winning can bring high cash rewards up to €100.
Free Spins
There isn’t an explicitly dedicated "Free Spins" bonus round; instead, winning three or four Roosters stacked from left-to-right across active lines triggers random multipliers between 2 and five times in the Wilds feature as a means of getting extra value out of gameplay.
