19 Feb Chicken Cross

The Chicken Cross slot machine is a highly engaging and entertaining game developed by Microgaming, one of the leading providers in the online gaming industry. Released in 2016, it has quickly become a fan favorite among players due to its unique theme, exciting gameplay features, and rewarding payout potential.

Theme and Design The Chicken Cross slot takes inspiration from the popular children’s board game "Mensch Ärgere Dich Nicht" (also known as "Sorry!" or "Crossing"), which is still widely played today. Chicken Cross The slot’s design effectively captures the essence of this classic game by incorporating colorful, cartoon-style graphics and a playful soundtrack that immerses players in a world where chickens are crossing the road. The game features five reels, three rows, and 10 adjustable paylines, providing ample opportunities for winning combinations.

Symbols The game’s symbols are designed to fit its theme, with various chicken characters serving as the high-paying icons. These include a rooster, a hen, and a chick, each offering different payout values depending on how many appear in a single spin. Lower-value symbols consist of playing cards (9-10-A-K-Q-J) that are colored similarly to their respective card suits.

Payouts The Chicken Cross slot offers medium-to-high volatility payouts with a top prize potential of 25,000 coins for landing five wild chicken symbols on an active payline. Payout values can be seen in the game’s paytable, which displays detailed information about each symbol’s contribution to winning combinations. The RTP (Return To Player) is set at around 96%, indicating that players can expect a decent return rate over time.

Wilds and Scatters The wild chicken icon acts as both Wild and Scatter, substituting for all symbols except the bonus icon in standard gameplay. Landing three or more scatters triggers free spins and additional benefits, depending on their position within specific reels.

Bonus Features and Free Spins Three types of bonuses are available to players: Chicken Chase (5,000-20,000 coins), Chicken Crossover (5,000-10,000 coins), and Crossroad Chaos (3-15x multipliers). The latter has a higher chance of triggering during the base game. To enter one of these bonus rounds, two specific requirements need to be met: the chicken must jump over an obstacle or land on three consecutive spaces within four reels.

The main feature in Chicken Cross is its Crossroad Chaos bonus round, where all symbols freeze except those at designated landing sites for 20 free spins with stacked multipliers. Players can trigger additional re-spins by collecting new combinations during the base game and using a spin meter.

Free Spins Triggering three or more scatters in any position activates Chicken Crossover mode (5,000-10,000 coins) which awards an initial 3 to 12x multiplier value, determined randomly upon winning combination.

A bonus icon hidden within a reel also exists for retriggerable free spin mode when only two landing symbols of its type have been seen and were not present as part of the trigger criteria in Chicken Crossover.
