In the world of online slots, it’s not often that a sequel lives up to its predecessor. However, in the case of Chicken Road 2, Pragmatic Play has outdone themselves with this classic slot machine experience that brings a fresh twist to an already beloved game.
Theme and Design
At first glance, it seems like nothing much has changed from the original Chicken Road. But look closer, and you’ll notice subtle yet significant updates in both Chicken Road 2 theme and design. Gone is the bright blue sky of the first game; instead, we find ourselves on a sun-drenched country road with an unmistakable American diner feel to it. The overall aesthetic has been refined, making this slot machine feel more premium than its predecessor.
Symbols
The classic fruit symbols from the original Chicken Road have made their way back into Chicken Road 2. However, they now come in sleeker and modernized designs, ensuring that players familiar with these icons will immediately recognize them as they spin by on the reels. What’s new is a selection of bonus features represented by specific symbols: a Chick-a-licious logo acts as the Wild; while two Golden Rooster logos serve as scatters.
Payouts
As one would expect from any Pragmatic Play title, payout structures are well-distributed and highly rewarding in Chicken Road 2. Players will encounter low-paying icons such as lemons and cherries but can also hit more substantial wins on higher-value symbols like watermelons (up to $6). However, maximum single-line payouts aren’t high enough compared to other Pragmatic games but considering this is a classic slot machine design it might still be worth checking out.
Wilds
Practically every modern online slot comes with Wilds but having said that Chicken Road 2 takes these symbols one step further by implementing them in multiple ways:
- Wildcard : Standardly acting as substitutes for any other icon within the game when used, allowing maximum win combinations to be created.
- Stacked : Appearing stacked across entire reel sets so making sure that each spin offers improved odds at matching a 5-of-a-kind combination and ultimately producing higher wins.
Scatters
A standard scatter action occurs whenever two or more Golden Roosters appear anywhere on the board during one of these rounds, awarding an instant total payout directly proportional to how many of them landed – ten dollars is offered per scatter found even without being part-way through completing any Bonus Round.
Bonus Rounds are essentially special sequences that take over gameplay after meeting certain conditions: In this instance when 3 or more Roosters appear anywhere around each other on a set turn. Once activated these rounds will lock-in all active wins from what comes next – creating huge possibilities for further profitable playtime as well!
