With its engaging gameplay mechanics and impressive visuals, Chicken Road 2 has become one of the most popular slot machines among Chicken Road 2 gamers.
Theme and Design
The theme of Chicken Road 2 is set in the American frontier during the late 19th century. The game’s background depicts a dusty desert road with tumbleweeds blowing by, while the reels are framed by wooden fences. Players can choose from two distinct skins to play: "Classic" or "Holographic", each offering an immersive experience.
The design of Chicken Road 2 is quite similar to its predecessor, but it features some notable improvements and additions. The slot boasts a large reel set with six reels and four rows of symbols. This format provides numerous paylines (20 fixed), increasing the chances of winning combinations.
Symbols
Chicken Road 2’s symbol selection reflects its Wild West theme. Players can expect to encounter various characters, including cowboys, outlaws, bandits, sheriffs, and even a bank manager. Each character has an associated payout value for landing three or more in consecutive order from left to right on the reels.
Some of the unique symbols include:
- Low-paying symbols: playing cards (Aces to 5) with wooden designs
- High-paying symbols: outlaws, sheriff, bank manager, and cowboy
- Wild symbol: represented by a wooden badge with an American eagle
Payouts
Chicken Road 2 offers a wide range of payouts for combinations of identical symbols landing on adjacent reels. The lowest paying symbols (playing cards) offer 0.10 to 1.50 credits per combination, while the highest paying outlaws and sheriffs provide up to 25 or 40 times the bet.
Here are some examples:
- Three playing card Aces: 5x the total stake
- Four bank managers: 120 times the line bet
Wilds and Scatters
Chicken Road 2 features both Wild and Scatter symbols, offering opportunities for big wins. The wooden badge with an American eagle acts as a Wild symbol, replacing any other regular paying combination.
The game’s Scatter is represented by two crossed revolvers on a desert background. When three or more of the crossbowmen appear anywhere on reels 1 to 6 (in any order), it activates the Free Spins feature.
Bonus Features and Free Spins
Players can trigger one of several bonus features during their adventure:
- Wild West Bonus: Players are taken to an entirely different slot game with a much smaller paytable. This is more about risk than reward.
- Bank Manager Bonus: Three bank managers on the reels will randomly generate two winning combinations from left and right sides.
- Sheriff’s Showdown: When two consecutive sheriff symbols appear, players get two options: Double or Nothing (Risk it) or Free Spins.
Free Spins
Three crossed revolvers activate 10 free spins. During this feature:
- Re-spins are possible with the possibility of adding up to an additional three additional reels on top.
- Sticky Wilds can form within any position, leading to increased wins and a chance for more consecutive combinations.
In case you were not able to use all your available Free Spins during the initial activation (you should only have used 1), they will be replenished at some point. You don’t lose any of them!
