Symbols
Low-Value Symbols
The game’s low-value symbols include 9, A, K, Q, J, which offer the lowest payouts in the game. The payout for these symbols ranges from x5 to x100 times the bet amount when landing on a payline with five of each symbol.
High-Value Symbols
The high-value animal icons are designed to look stunning and add an extra layer of excitement to the gameplay. These animals have significantly higher payouts compared to the low-value numbers:
- Chicken (x50 to x1,000 times bet)
- Frog (x25 to x200 times bet)
- Pig (x20 to x150 times bet)
- Horse (x15 to x100 times bet)
- Elephant (x10 to x50 times bet)
Wilds
In "Chicken Road", the Wild icon is represented by a traditional Chinese coin. The Coin appears on all reels except for the Scatter, which we’ll discuss later.
Payouts with a Wild are based on the paytable and can significantly increase winning combinations by substituting other symbols to complete winning lines.
Scatters
The game’s Scatter symbol is an ornate lantern. It doesn’t need to appear in consecutive order and appears only on reels 2, 3, or 4.
When two Scatters are landed anywhere on the reels, players earn a Free Spins bonus feature with up to five times more spins awarded for landing three Scatters. Four Lantern Scatter wins can result in ten free spins plus an extra chance at doubling your winnings by engaging in a coin flip.
Bonus Features
The game has two bonus features: Free Spins and Rolling Reels, along with the previously discussed Coin Flip option associated with winning combinations of four or more lantern symbols on reels 2-4.
- Free Spins : Players receive ten free spins for landing one Lantern Scatter. Each subsequent roll can increase this number to as many as twenty-five rolls.
In addition to any Rolling Reels that trigger a multiplier, wins in Free Spin rounds are tripled; players may also continue rolling the reels while collecting prizes of 5 coins per combination for each spin in Free Spins mode.
- Rolling Reels : Whenever you land an extra Wild coin or win on multiple rolls during your game session (or ten free spins), a Rolling Reel bonus occurs.
