The world of online slots is a vast and varied landscape, with countless themes, mechanics, and payout structures to explore. In this review, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at one particular game that’s caught our attention: Chicken Road 2. Developed by Microgaming, the same team behind some of the most iconic Chicken Road 2 slot machines out there, this game promises a thrilling adventure on the open road.

Theme and Design

From its title alone, it’s clear that Chicken Road 2 is built around the concept of a cross-country journey – one that just happens to involve fowl play. The design reflects this theme with vibrant colors and cartoon-style illustrations of various avian characters making their way across the country. But make no mistake: beneath its playful surface, this game packs some serious heat.

Symbols

Players will encounter a wide variety of symbols as they navigate the virtual Chicken Road 2 route. These include standard playing card numbers (10-A) in bold font and bright colors, alongside themed images like hens, chicks, eggs, and even a sleek, blue-ribbon winner chicken or two. Each symbol’s payout value is clearly listed at the bottom of the screen for easy reference.

Payouts

Of course, payouts are where the real meat of any slot machine lies – in this case, some rather egg-cellent odds to be exact! The standard symbols pay out as follows:

• Hens (High): 5-of-a-kind pays up to $50.00
• Chicks (Medium-High): 3-4-of-a-kind pays between $10-$40.00
• Eggs (Medium-Low): 2-3-of-a-kind pays between $5-$20.00

And then, of course, there are the High-Roller Chicken symbols…

Wilds

Meet Cluck Norris – a chicken so bold it even has its own line in the payout tables! This Wild symbol replaces all other standard symbols on the reels to create winning combinations.

Scatters

But what about the chickens that aren’t exactly feather-brained? That’s where Chick lays the eggs comes into play. Chick is also the Scatter symbol, which triggers a bonus round when 3 or more appear anywhere in view – more on this feature later!

Bonus Features

Players who dare to dream big will appreciate the following two Bonus features:

• Wild Rooster Re-Spins : After landing three Wild symbols of any value (in addition to Cluck Norris), players are awarded an additional respin with one or both wheels locked. A third respin might even trigger a full-screen payout!
• Free Chick Spins : As mentioned earlier, 3+ Scatters triggers 10 free games with all wins doubled! During this round, Chick’s multiplier expands to cover the entire reel for added value.

RTP and Volatility

Now that we’ve explored Chicken Road 2’s many features in some detail, let’s talk about what drives it all: Return-to-Player (RTP) percentage. At a healthy 96%, Chicken Road 2 promises to return around $1 from every $5 spent on the game.

Regarding its level of Volatility – how often and by how much wins pay out – this machine operates at moderate-high levels, placing bets with higher potential payouts relatively close together (between x200x2000). Think a balanced ride rather than an adrenaline-pumping thrill-ride!

Betting Range

So just what kind of bet can you place on Chicken Road 2? Bet sizes range from a minimum $1.00 up to the maximum $500.00, perfect for those seeking moderate stakes or bigger thrills – and remember: no bonus symbols needed in the betting menu here either!
