Chicken Run is a popular online slot machine developed by Barcrest Games, part of Scientific Games Corporation. This farm-themed game is based on the 2000 stop-motion animated comedy film "Chicken Run" directed by Nick Park and Peter Lord from Aardman Animations. The slot has become a staple in many online casinos due to its engaging gameplay, entertaining theme, and substantial winning potential.
Game Theme and Design
The Chicken Run slot game features an agricultural setting where the goal is to help Ginger, the determined heroine chicken, escape from Tweedy’s Egg Farm by gathering as much loot as possible. Chicken Run The background of the reels showcases a rustic farm, while symbols are depicted in line with the movie’s aesthetic. Players will notice that most icons are animals and items associated with poultry farming.
The game offers 5 spinning reels with a medium variance, which can be described as balanced between low- to high-risk settings. With an average RTP (Return to Player) of around 96%, this game promises relatively fair payouts compared to other slots. The title is set against the backdrop of farm buildings and trees on either side.
Symbols in Chicken Run
The standard symbols in this slot machine pay from left to right, starting with the lowest-paying chicken coop and fence posts. The payout ranges are as follows:
- Low Paying Symbols : A hen (2x), a rooster’s perch (5x), a wooden egg carton containing 8 eggs (10x), a coop in winter (20x), and two sheep standing behind some gates (25x).
Higher paying symbols include farm-related items such as eggs, geese, pigs, horses’ feet on stables, and Ginger, the protagonist. The top-paying symbol is Tweedy, with winnings up to 50 coins.
The wild icon in Chicken Run replaces all standard game icons except for scatter symbols when necessary to complete a winning combination. When two wilds are landed simultaneously they trigger free spins, rewarding eight additional rounds of play and triggering an increased multiplier (2x).

Bonus Features and Wilds

Players can participate in 243 Ways to Win with one coin on each pay line which contributes to more rewarding and consistent wins.
A "Multiway" system means players don’t have to pick how much they want to win as in other slot machines – because their overall payout is amplified when winning combinations are multiplied against the value of each individual play round due to any combination won or unfulfilled in that spin.
The Wilds in Chicken Run act similarly to those found within many modern slots, helping to replace missing icons for players and potentially triggering some bonus gameplay after landing multiple wild symbols.
