Chicken Rush

Chicken Rush Review

BGaming’s another fun release, Chicken Rush, takes players on a wild ride through the sun-baked streets of a small Western town, where three rooster sheriffs reign supreme. In this quirky and action-packed slot, the feathered lawmen aren't just keeping the peace - they're having a blast doing it. With bandits lurking in the shadows, these roosters pass the time by shooting at wooden boxes, inviting players to join in the fun and see if they have what it takes to keep the town safe.

We are proud to release Chicken Rush, which is as action-packed as the title suggests. The highly creative bonus game stays true to the theme of the title, with the wooden crates replacing traditional symbols and adding an extra layer of surprise.

We are delighted to see how popular this game is, with the trio of buy bonus options, our lovable characters, and intriguing multipliers all ensuring the game is brimming with action.

Set against the backdrop of a dusty Wild West town, Chicken Rush blends humor with classic Western elements. BGaming has crafted a gorgeous-looking slot, with rich cartoonish visuals and lively animations. The overall atmosphere is lighthearted and entertaining, complemented by an upbeat soundtrack, immersing players deeply in a fun, alternative version of the Wild West where the roosters rule the roost.

Chicken Rush Slot - Base Game

Chicken Rush is played on a 5x5 reel set, offering 3,125 ways to win on each spin. The game’s symbols pay on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost, and wins are awarded for 3-of-a-kind and more. They are split into three sections, including low A-9 card ranks, mid pistols and grilled chicken, and three high-paying rooster characters. For 5-of-a-kind combinations, payouts range from 0.2x to 3x the bet.

The game caters to a wide range of players with betting options that span from as low as €0.2 to a maximum of €20 per spin, making it accessible to both casual players and high rollers alike. The volatility is in the medium-to-high range, though, wins should occur frequently due to the hit rate of 22.73%, theoretically in 1 out of 4.4 spins, and so do the free spins, which trigger approximately every 123 spins. What’s most impressive is the Chicken Rush RTP of 97%, which is way above the average level across the industry. The maximum payout value isn’t a standout, however, clocking in at a standard 5,000x mark.

Chicken Rush Features

In the base game of the Chicken Rush online slot, players can benefit from multiplier Wilds, but otherwise, it's relatively straightforward. The real excitement begins in the free spins feature, which offers a unique twist to the gameplay. Additionally, players have the option to choose from three different bonus buys skip through the less exciting part and plunge straight into the action.

Multiplier Wilds

The Wild symbol in Chicken Rush can only appear during the main game. It substitutes for any other symbol, except the bonus, to help complete winning combinations. Each Wild comes with a random multiplier, which can be x2, x3, x5, or x10, boosting the potential payouts for winning lines it takes part in.

Free Spins

The bonus symbol, represented by a gold coin with a rooster carved out, can appear on any of the reels, and it triggers the Bonus game when 3 or more land on a single spin. Depending on the number of Bonus symbols, players receive 5, 7, or 10 free spins for 3, 4, or 5 triggering symbols, respectively.

Before the bonus game begins, a random symbol is selected, which will be the only one available in the free games. The bonus operates in an utterly different way than the base game, with the reels consisting solely of wooden boxes. When the reels stop, some of these boxes may explode and open, revealing various items:

• +1 FS symbol - awards one extra free spin.
• Multiplier - have 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x values. Collected when revealed. Need 5 in order to activate.
• Selected symbol - a symbol chosen before the free spins kicked off. Stays locked till the end of the feature.

The goal of the bonus game is to collect as many sticky symbols on the reels as possible, as well as 5 multipliers to boost the win. At the end of the round, the total win is calculated in accordance with the paytable, and the multipliers, if activated, are applied to increase the final payout.

Buy Feature

Players have the option to purchase a Bonus game in Chicken Rush, with three different variants available: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, each at a different price point:

• 50x the bet - The Bronze option is the standard bonus game, which can also be triggered naturally in the main game with 3 or more Bonus symbols.
• 100x the bet - The Silver option operates similarly to the Bronze game, but the symbol chosen from the main game is selected from high-paying symbols only. One of the three roosters is guaranteed.
• 300x the bet - The Gold option is akin to the Silver game, with the added advantage that if a player collects 5 multipliers, the number of multipliers awarded at the end is doubled, 10 instead of 5.

Pros And Cons Of Chicken Rush Slot

Our Verdict

To sum things up, Chicken Rush is an expertly crafted slot that brings a lot of fun to the table. The stunning cartoonish visuals, coupled with an amusing atmosphere, make it a delight to play. The design team at BGaming has done a remarkable job in creating a vibrant, engaging world where rooster sheriffs rule the Old West, and I couldn’t help but get fully drawn into the humorous Western world they’ve created here.

The features, particularly the innovative free spins, add a layer of excitement that keeps things interesting. However, I must admit that the base game could benefit from a bit more variety. While the multiplier Wilds are a nice touch, the lack of additional features in the main gameplay does make it feel somewhat uneventful at times.

Overall, Chicken Rush is well worth a spin or two. It’s a slot that I believe many players will appreciate - I certainly did, and think it’s a great addition to BGaming’s portfolio.
