Chicken Drop by Pragmatic Play
Pragmatic Play has once again taken the online casino world by storm with their latest creation, Chicken Drop. This visually stunning game not only promises a unique experience but also offers an array of exciting features that will captivate both seasoned gamers and newcomers alike.
Theme and Design
At its core, Chicken Drop revolves around farm-themed gameplay, where players are transported to Chicken Drop a vibrant countryside setting teeming with farm animals. As one might expect from Pragmatic Play’s portfolio, the graphics in this game are exceptional. High-quality visuals coupled with immersive sound effects create an engaging atmosphere that immerses players into their virtual world.
The reels are set against a lush green background, complete with rolling hills and towering trees swaying gently in the breeze. The symbols on the game board perfectly complement this pastoral ambiance. Farm animals such as cows, ducks, pigs, horses, sheep, chickens, roosters, geese, and turkeys take center stage alongside standard letter symbols from A to J.
Symbols and Payouts
The base game offers a staggering array of winning combinations that reward players for matching identical symbol sets across adjacent reels. The most profitable standard paytable entry yields 5 times the stake, achieved by landing five consecutive Cow, Duck or Pig icons on adjacent reel positions.
The farm-themed animals provide varying payouts when appearing in groups of two to five: Chicken (2x – 10x), Rooster and Goose (1x – 4.25x) are some of these symbols offering modest gains compared to the high-value livestock icons like Cows, Ducks, or Pigs (5x – 50x). The lower-paying alphabet letters reward between 0.25x up to 2.5x times the original wager.
Wild Symbol
The Wild symbol in Chicken Drop is represented by a Farmer icon and can be used as an intermediary to form winning combinations across any of the five reels. It doesn’t provide any direct payouts when appearing on its own but effectively fills gaps between high-value symbols, contributing to higher returns.
Scatter Symbol
The game’s Scatter symbol takes the form of a shiny Golden Chicken Egg that triggers bonus features by landing three or more across adjacent positions in both directions (horizontally, vertically, and diagonally). This lucrative icon rewards a fixed amount of Free Spins and other bonuses detailed later.
Bonus Features and Free Spins
The game’s main attraction lies within its exciting Bonus Round, which can be activated by landing three or more Scatters. Upon activation, players are rewarded with the following number of free spins based on their Scatter count: 8 for four eggs collected; ten for five.
During this feature, a selection of high-paying farm animals turn Wild and accumulate Multipliers that increase in value according to consecutive Free Spins won. These can reach up to an astonishing 5x multiplier by the end of the last spin within the bonus round.
If more than one Scattered Golden Chicken Egg appears across adjacent positions, then a higher number of free spins is awarded – thus granting players with up to fifteen rounds to accumulate additional Wilds and Multipliers in this highly volatile environment.
