The Chicken Cross Game casino slot machine is a farm-themed game developed by Pragmatic Play, one of the leading online gaming providers in the industry. This 5-reel, 4-row slot features a unique gameplay mechanism where players can win big payouts by crossing hens to the other side of the farm.
Theme and Design
The Chicken Cross Game is set on a classic farm backdrop with cartoonish graphics that appeal Chicken Cross game to both old and new slots enthusiasts. The game’s theme revolves around a series of colorful chicken characters, each representing different elements of the slot machine. For instance, there are three hens in the standard game and two additional bonus chickens when specific wild combinations occur.
Symbols
The paytable features a wide variety of farm-themed symbols that contribute to forming winning combinations:
- The high-value icons include;
- Hen-3 (Red), Hen-2 (Blue) & Hen-1 (Green),
- Barn,
- Chicken feeder.
- The lower-paying symbols consist of a classic deck consisting of nine numbered card values, from Ace to Nine. Additionally, there is the Bonus Wild symbol representing an additional prize awarding wild feature.
Payouts
When two or more identical icons appear side by side (horizontally) in any position across all reels 1-5 and row 4, a payout is awarded with the game paying according to its paytable. The most generous rewards for landing consecutive three matching symbols result from aligning either of Hen-2 or HEN-1.
WILDS
The wild feature has an additional set-up that allows you not only get rewarded but also be part of making a second prize combination in which wild chicken symbol becomes one more required by a bonus to pay on top. A hen may transform any adjacent position (upright) for another match win, turning what might otherwise have been unsuccessful combinations.
SCATTER
If landing the special "bonus scatter" is not exactly a straightforward task however there’s no question about its potential rewards: they are really something worth trying your luck in case of obtaining it on the 1st-4th row since these bonus wilds allow for an interesting second-chance game round.
BONUS FEATURES
Chicken Cross Game offers two exciting additional gameplay elements:
- The ‘Crossing’ feature is triggered once one hen reaches the opposite end, which happens when at least three standard hens appear horizontally in reels 2-5 and row four of any configuration while there isn’t a wild bonus chicken anywhere present yet. Here after pressing a certain "cross" button – if you want more specific information read the section below explaining how it works in full.
When ‘Crossing’ occurs, there are no additional costs charged except that new spins depend purely on individual winning chance probabilities rather than what may have previously been expected so therefore don’t hesitate because they happen at random.
- After "Bonus" round starts, and if only the bonus feature of one single chicken remains active at the end of each spin when this hen can make another 2 or more identical icons appear either horizontally next to it on reel-5 and Row4 (if such exists), there will be no costs involved but just additional payouts earned as new prizes awarded.
Free Spins
When activating a ‘cross’ with three chicken symbols crossing the stage from any one side – players gain entry into an exciting special mode which starts free-spins gameplay of 10 or more chances based on accumulated bonus awards previously calculated during active cross rounds. There’s no set limit so long as each play remains unique and offers a new chance.
Return to Player (RTP)
Pragmatic Play did not indicate any specific RTP value for this game. However, assuming they’ve maintained their consistent release standard the industry average slot returns could likely range from 95% up-to approximately 97%.
Volatility
High level of randomness in generating hens may influence individual experience which might be more like a short-term luck-based encounter with very uneven outcomes resulting unpredictably making gameplay often extremely exciting but highly variable.
