Royal Fowl Fortune Hunter
The Chicken Royal is a 5-reel, 50-payline casino slot game developed by Microgaming. It has an agricultural theme where players embark on a journey to harvest their fortune from a lush farm filled with happy chickens.
Game Theme and Design
Upon launching the game, players are transported to a beautiful farmland with rolling hills, trees, and flowers swaying in the gentle breeze. The background image features a majestic farm house in the Chicken Royal slot distance, while the reels are set against a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The overall design of the slot is vibrant, colorful, and inviting.
The game symbols include various farm-related icons such as chickens, roosters, eggs, hens, chicks, cowboys hats, horseshoes, farming tools, and high-value playing card suits. Each symbol has been carefully designed to fit in with the theme, from the simple yet elegant chicken symbols to the more detailed farm equipment.
The slot’s background music is a pleasant country tune that perfectly complements the game’s atmosphere. Sound effects are also present when winning combinations occur or during bonus features.
Symbols and Payouts
All standard card suits (9-A) offer moderate payouts, ranging from 5 coins for Ace to 30 coins for King. The high-value symbols include a rooster (100), hen with chicks (50-25-15), egg-laying chicken (40-20-10), cowboy hat (35-18), and horseshoe (32). Special bonus symbols are the Chicken Royal logo and the farm tools, which trigger different features.
The wild symbol is represented by the rooster’s crown. It substitutes for all other standard symbols to create more winning combinations when necessary. However, it does not replace high-value or special bonus symbols.
Wilds and Scatters
When at least three scattered Chicken Royal logo appear anywhere on the reels (horizontally adjacent), players trigger 10-25 Free Spins. The number of free spins depends on how many scatters land; each additional scatter adds 5 more free spins to the total amount.
During this bonus feature, all wins are multiplied by a 2x factor. More importantly, any wilds that appear during free play will remain locked in place after spinning for one additional round, creating a cascade of win opportunities.
Bonus Features and Free Spins
The farm tools special symbol appears on reel five only and triggers the "Tools of Fortune" bonus feature when at least three land. Players must choose which tool to pick up from four available options: pitchfork, rake, sickle, or watering can.
Each selected farming device awards a different number of free spins; between 5-12 spins depending on what farm equipment was chosen:
- Pitchfork offers 10+1 extra spin
- Rake awards 8-11 additional spins (depending on position)
- Sickle gives 6-9 more rounds (reel order dependent)
- Watering Can adds between 4 and 7 extra spins
