Chicken Drop Slot Review

Chicken Drop Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Chicken Drop slot is played on a 7×7 grid. Winning combinations are formed by landing clusters of 5 or more matching symbols. These clusters can be formed vertically or horizontally or a combination of both.

As usual for a Pragmatic Play slot, stake levels here range from 20p to £100 per spin. Use the + and – buttons next to the spin button to adjust your stake. Click on the i button for the paytable. The payout amounts are displayed in cash and relate to your current stake size.

The Chicken Drop RTP is 96.5% which is much better than average. This is a high variance slot too. On a scale of 1 to 5, I’d put the volatility at the maximum of 5. The most you can win from a single spin here is 5,000 x your total stake.

Theme – get your wellies on and head to the farm  

With a farm theme, there’s a rural, rustic setting to the Chicken Drop slot. With green fields and a big barn in the background, there’s a light-hearted, cartoonish feel to the visuals here which is matched by the banjo-heavy, country and western-style backing track. It’s quite simple but the design here works rather well.

The game grid is made up of heart and spade symbols which appear alongside toadstools, acorns, ears of corn and blueberries. The most lucrative standard symbol is the strawberry. Land a cluster made up of 37 or more strawberries and you’ll pocket an award equal to 1,000 x your total stake.

The treasure chest is the bonus symbol. This can trigger the free spins round. There are also watering cans, 4-leaf clovers and eggs which come into play with the upgrades which I’ll look at below.

You can play Chicken Drop on all devices including mobiles, desktop and laptop computers as well as tablets. The colourful visuals are perfectly fine, even if you’re playing the Chicken Drop mobile slot.

Chicken Drop Bonus Features

With 5 bonus features, there’s plenty to get stuck into in Chicken Drop when it comes to features. As well as the cluster pays and tumbling reels, there are progressive boosts which can increase the size of a symbol as well as bringing multipliers into the mix. There’s also a free spins round.

Tumble feature

When a winning cluster is formed, the Tumble feature follows. Those successful symbols are removed from the grid and new ones drop in and replace them. A new payout consideration then follows. The tumbles keep on coming as long as a new winning cluster lands.

Progressive features

The Progressive features come into play when a watering can or 4-leaf clover symbol lands at the end of a spin or set of tumbles. An egg then drops onto the reels to reveal a cluster of the same matching symbol. You could then benefit from one of the following upgrades:

• Size Upgrade feature: the watering can is the size upgrade symbol. This upgrades the size of the next egg drop to 2×2 then 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 and 6×6 progressively as each new egg appears in that set of tumbles.
• Multiplier Upgrade feature: the multipliers come via the 4-leaf clover. Multipliers start at 2x then build progressively up to a maximum of 11x. The multiplier is applied to the winning cluster that result from the egg drop.

When all the tumbles are over, no new winning combination is formed, no more upgrade symbols or eggs land, everything resets to its original state and you’ll return to standard base game play.

Free Spins feature

Landing 4, 5 or 6 bonus symbols on the same spin trigger the Free Spins feature. You’ll then go on to play 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Any symbol upgrades active in the feature remain active for any free spins you have left.

After every free spin, when all the tumbles are complete, you’re guaranteed to land an egg. This means size upgrades or multiplier upgrades up to 11x. Retriggers are possible here too. Landing 4 bonus symbols adds 5 more free spins to your total. There’s no limit to how many times you can retrigger the free spins.

In some territories, but not the UK, players will have the opportunity to buy the free spins for a fee of 100 x your total stake. This is simply known as the Buy Free Spins feature.

Chicken Drop Review Summary – madcap farmyard action

This trip to the farm in the Chicken Drop slot is a rather anarchic one. There’s plenty of action courtesy of the tumbling reels, size and multiplier upgrades and the free spins. That madcap quality is matched by the variance which is very high indeed.

The bigger wins will come from the Multiplier Upgrade feature where the multiplier can reach 11x in the base game or on a free spin. It’s all rather loud and jolly but if you fancy taking a virtual trip to the country for some high variance gameplay, Chicken Drop offers just that.

If you want more trips to farms, Push Gaming’s Fat Rabbit is recommended. In the Free Games feature, the wild rabbit eats carrots to fill meters and expand the wild carrot up to 5×5 in size. Another good slot to play is Bonus Bunnies by Nolimit City where the Carrot Link Spins feature can give you wins of up to 6,950 x stake.
