Chicken Road 2 is a casino slot game developed by a well-known iGaming software provider. The game has inherited many of its predecessor’s features while introducing some new mechanics to keep players engaged and entertained.

Theme

The theme of the game revolves around an adventurous journey with chicken-themed symbols, reminiscent of Western-style cowboy adventures but with avian undertones instead. Upon entering Chicken Road 2, players are transported to a wild Chicken Road 2 for free West scenario, complete with cacti-studded landscapes, bandits on horseback, and chickens galore.

The graphics in the game are vibrant, colorful, and finely detailed, with each symbol designed to create an immersive experience for players. The overall atmosphere is one of high-energy excitement, as if every spin could be a winner or a new discovery.

Design

Chicken Road 2 operates on five reels arranged vertically in a standard slot format, with ten fixed paylines that run straight across the game area from top to bottom. Players can adjust their bet levels within predetermined parameters by choosing coin values between €0.05 and €10, ensuring accessible gameplay for users with varying budgets.

An Auto-Spin feature allows players to automate spins up to 100 rounds in advance without further input or intervention required during play sessions. In contrast to more dynamic games offering numerous spin settings options, the fixed paylines are somewhat restrictive but not overly limiting given the numerous active symbols and achievable rewards.

Symbol Payouts

The game employs various symbol values, including basic numeric values from 0 through 9, high-paying cards like Jack, Queen, King, Ace, and other themed characters in different colors. Each type is valued according to the slot’s paytable, rewarding successful combinations accordingly.

High-value symbols are typically abundant on reels but can be hard to land due to higher expected payout returns per win line. Overall, Chicken Road 2 relies heavily upon creating numerous smaller payouts across its ten active lines, providing players with a sense of continuous activity even when low-scoring results occur frequently at first glance.

Wild Symbol Functionality

As is standard for many slots, the Wild icon plays the role of the ‘joker,’ substituting other characters to create winning combinations whenever it participates. Chicken Road 2 incorporates this mechanic seamlessly with no unusual or innovative twists worth mentioning.

The game also presents its unique bonus features and mechanics, such as a scatter symbol with increased potential when landing multiple instances within specific reel positions but will be covered further down in the review under dedicated sections for "Scatter Symbol Functionality" and "Bonus Features."

Wilds & Scatters

As previously mentioned briefly, Chicken Road 2 features Wilds substituting other characters to complete winning combinations and a Scatter symbol crucial for unlocking its Bonus Feature.

• WILD : Substitutes all other game symbols on reels 1 through 5 in any positions. Used in conjunction with low-paying card values like Aces or high-value chicken character, can create larger payouts more efficiently than individual cards alone could offer.

• SCATTER SYMBOLS (Hippie Chick): Whenever three Scatters appear simultaneously within an active line or across the five reels from left to right, triggers a Bonus Feature. However, this feature is only active if 3+ of these symbols show up in designated positions on specific spin combinations and activates upon alignment, no matter position along lines during free spins.

Payout Structure

The payouts vary greatly based on both the frequency with which players encounter them and their size when encountered. Players are advised to adjust wager amounts according to personal bankroll constraints or simply use Auto-Spin for unattended sessions.
