Wilds
In Chicken Run, a Rooster symbol serves as the game’s Wild. It substitutes for all symbols except Scatters and Cluck Norris. The Rooster appears on reels 2-5, ensuring maximum flexibility during gameplay.
Scatters
The Free Spins Bonus Scatter is represented by the Farmhouse icon. Two or more Scatters will trigger the game’s free spin feature.
Bonus Features
Chicken Run offers a single bonus feature: the Great Escape feature. To activate it, players must collect three Cluck Norris symbols on reels 1-3 during normal gameplay.
When activated, the Cluck Norris symbol is locked in place for the next two spins. During these two spins, any winning combination that includes the Cluck Norris symbol will award additional free spins.
The Great Escape feature awards five free spins initially and can be retriggered with each new spin until a maximum of 30 free spins have been reached.
Free Spins
Chicken Run’s free spin feature is triggered by three or more Farmhouse Scatters. Three, four, or five Scatters award ten, fifteen, or twenty-five free spins, respectively. During this feature, all wins are multiplied by two and the Rooster Wild remains in place for each of the additional free spins granted.
RTP
Chicken Run’s Return to Player (RTP) is 96%. This indicates that, over an extended period, players can expect to recoup approximately $96 out of every $100 wagered on this slot machine. The game’s medium RTP suggests it offers a fair balance between volatility and returns.

The game falls into the category of "Medium" volatility slots. Players should expect moderate wins with occasional high-paying combinations. This volatile level encourages strategy development and situational awareness for players to maximize winnings during gameplay.

Chicken Run allows betting in increments from $0.10 up to $50 per spin, providing flexibility for both low-stakes and high-rollers alike.

The maximum win in Chicken Run is set at 5,000x the player’s total bet amount or a top payout of $25,000 (based on a $5 bet). This is relatively modest compared to other slot machines with larger progressive jackpots but still offers enticing potential for players to cash out.
