The casino slot "Chicken Run" is a farm-themed game developed by Microgaming, one of the most renowned online gaming software providers. This engaging title offers an immersive experience for players who enjoy games with a touch of humor and whimsy. In this article, we will delve into every aspect of the "Chicken Run" slot machine to help potential players make informed decisions.
Design and Theme
The game takes place Chicken Run on a farm where chickens are busy running around, scratching in the dirt, and clucking away. The background is set against a sunny landscape with rolling hills and green pastures, complete with fluffy white clouds. When the reels spin into motion, colorful characters from the world of Aardman Animations’ "Chicken Run" (2000) come to life on the game screen.
The farm theme carries over to the icons used in the slot machine. These include four main character symbols – Ginger (the red hen), Bunty (the blue hen), Speckles (the black hen with spots), and Buck (a cockerel). Other icons are designed after everyday objects commonly found on a farm, such as carrots, eggs, buckets, and hay bales.
Symbols
The regular paytable symbols of the "Chicken Run" slot are divided into high-value items – Ginger’s Icon, Speckles’ Icon, Bunty’s Icon, Buck’s Icon (each representing one of the four main chickens), and lower-paying symbols such as carrots, eggs, buckets, and hay bales.
High-Value Symbols: Ginger’s Icon Speckles’ Icon Bunty’s Icon Buck’s Icon
Low-Paying Symbols: Carrots Eggs Buckets Hay Bales
Payouts
The slot game offers payouts for 5-reel combinations of matching icons, with Ginger being the highest-paying regular symbol (offering up to x500).
To illustrate this:
- Five (5) identical high-value symbols: x1000 – x4000 coins per bet line
- Four (4) of a kind in any order: x200 – x800 coins per payline
Wilds
The "Chicken Run" slot game has four special wild symbols, each representing one of the main chickens. Ginger serves as the regular Wild symbol and replaces all other icons to form winning combinations except for scatters.

Scatters
The "Free Egg Run" icon acts as a scatter in this game, triggering free spins when two or more of these symbols appear on the reels simultaneously. As the name suggests, this feature allows players to collect eggs without stopping for hens that can’t fly – giving them an extra boost.
- 2 Scatters: 10 Free Spins with x3 multiplier
- 3 Scatters: 20 Free Spins with a 4x Multiplier
Bonus Features
The bonus game is set on the same farm, but here it’s your turn to join Ginger as she tries her wings on an airplane called "Fly" (from Aardman Animations). The free spins are triggered and in each spin there is at least one wild symbol added per fly for three extra rounds.
In addition, a random "Chicken Frenzy" can activate up to 10 times higher multipliers than standard ones during those spins. There’s also an automatic restart of Free Eggs Run after every time you win anything when playing your chosen coin value (as opposed not having it).
