Theme and Design
Chicken Train is a casino slot machine developed by 100HP Gaming that revolves around an agriculture-themed setting. The game’s design transports players to a rural area where chickens roam freely, adding a touch of whimsy Chicken Train to the classic slot gameplay experience.
Upon loading the game, players are greeted with a colorful interface featuring animated farm animals and lush green fields in the background. The reels themselves are framed by wooden planks, complementing the country-like atmosphere. A small farmhouse stands at one end of the screen, serving as the Wild symbol for the game.
Symbols
The slot’s symbols are designed to reflect its agricultural theme, with various icons representing farm animals and crops. Here is a list of the standard paying symbols:
- High-paying symbols:
- Rooster (6x)
- Hen (4x)
- Piglet (3x)
- Sheep (2x)
- Low-paying symbols: (1x each for five suits in various colors)
Payouts
Chicken Train offers a variety of payout combinations, both standard and bonus-driven. The standard payouts can be found on the paytable:
Symbol Payout Ratio Rooster (6-of-a-kind) 2500x (30,000 coins) Hen (4-of-a-kind) 750x (9,000 coins) Piglet (3-of-a-kind) 150x (1,800 coins)
In addition to these payouts, the game has a bonus feature system that grants additional rewards. The Wild and Scatter symbols are also crucial in creating winning combinations.
Wilds
The farmhouse serves as both a Wild and a Scattered symbol. As a standard Wild, it substitutes for any other symbol except scatters or bonus icons, contributing to more frequent wins:
Combination Payout 5 Wilds (all positions) 3x bet amount
Scatters
The farmhouse Scatter can be activated by landing three or more in any position across the reels. This initiates a free spin feature.
- Free Spins : When 4 Scatters are landed, the player is granted an initial set of 10 Free Spins. If they land additional scatters during these spins (up to a total of 5), they can retrigger up to four extra sets of 5 free spins each.
Bonus Features
Chicken Train boasts two distinct bonus features designed to amplify wins:
- Free Spins Bonus : As explained in the Scatters section, this feature is triggered when three or more farmhouse symbols are landed during a spin.
- Rooster Feature : When any Roosters land on reels 3 and 5 simultaneously with at least one Hen, this bonus is activated, granting double payout for that combination.
Gameplay
The gameplay in Chicken Train is engaging yet straightforward: the goal is to align matching symbols across the reels from left to right. The slot features five fixed paylines across which players can bet on using different coins and denominations, with the option of modifying their wagers between rounds. Payouts are calculated based on these bets.
Volatility
Chicken Train’s volatility level falls into a medium-to-high range according to 100HP Gaming’s rating system. This indicates that while infrequent wins might be less generous than those from lower volatility slots, winning combinations do occur more frequently, offering players opportunities for bigger rewards when they strike lucky.
RTP (Return-To-Player) and Betting Range
Chicken Train’s RTP is set at around 96%, providing relatively good odds to gamblers. Players can place wagers with different coin denominations between $0.10 and a maximum of $100 in real money mode, giving them considerable flexibility within each spin.
Max Win
The jackpot available through the Rooster symbol landing combination rewards players for placing the highest possible stake: 2500x times their bet amount, making it a more substantial win when playing at the upper end of the betting range.
