The Great Chicken Escape offers 8 different bonus features, 3 of which are triggered at random times in the base game. The chickens are led by a Militæry Commander Chicken, and you will help in their escape attempt from the farm. This is a Pragmatic Play game and was released on July 26, 2019.

Everything takes place on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines, and you can place bets up to £100 per spin on all devices and platforms. The 3 main game features offer you plenty of wilds and wild reels, but the real fun starts when you land at least 3 scatters on the same spin. This triggers 1 of 5 different bonus features, 2 of which are free spins.

Here you will also see the chickens trying to escape, led by the commander chicken with a green army cap. Don’t let the light-hearted theme fool you, because this is a very volatile game. You can win up to 5,000 times your bet here, but you have to get lucky and trigger a certain bonus feature (out of the 5 available) for this to happen.

What are the symbols?

The reels are set in a chicken yard and they are planning a great escape. The leader is a commander chicken with a green military hat, but the highest paying symbol is the logo. You need between 3 and 5 matching symbols on the reels to win, and here is the paytable for The Great Chicken Escape slot:

• Logo symbol – pays 25x for 5 on a payline.
• Wild symbol – pays 25x for 5 on a payline
• Commander chicken – pays 15x for 5 on a payline
• Blue Chicken – pays 15x for 5 on a payline
• Chicken 1 and 2 – both pay 10x for 5 on a payline
• Card suit symbols – pay between 5x and 4x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

This game is packed with bonus features, and we’ll take a look at all of them here. In the base game, you can trigger 3 reel modifiers at random times. These are as follows:

• Guard Dog Wilds – the guard dog is knocked out and between 4 and 9 wilds are added to the reels.
• Chicken Run Wilds – the Commander chicken tries to escape, resulting in 2 to 4 fully stacked Wild reels.
• Care Package – a wooden box lands, and when it breaks open, golden eggs are added to the reels. All of these eggs then turn into a random matching symbol.

This is far from the only bonus feature you will benefit from in this game, and the real fun begins when you land at least 3 scatter symbols on the Reels. This will randomly trigger one of the following 5 bonus features, and 2 of these are free spins features, which we will discuss below. We’ll start with the regular bonus features first:

• Secret Tunnel Bonus – You can choose from 3 chests to win either a cash prize or the Mystery Tunnel feature. If you trigger the latter, you will now choose between 4 tunnels, each leading to one of the features we will talk about below.
• Poultry in Motion – here you collect eggs along a multiplier track and when you get to the very end, the Big Money bonus round is triggered.
  The Great Escape Big Money Bonus – you’ll see a large carousel consisting of 12 barrels, and each one can give you a win between 10x and 500x. You then select a golden egg, and that can either give you another shot at the carousel, or you can simply collect your winnings and the feature ends.

Free Spins in The Great Chicken Escape

There are 2 free spins features on The Great Chicken Escape slot, and both of them are triggered randomly like all the features described above. The free spins play out as follows:

Get Clucky Free Spins – this gives you 10 free spins, and each wild symbol that lands increases the multiplier by a factor of 1x.
To the Other Side Free Spins – this gives you 10 Free Spins, and all Wild symbols are collected and added to the reels together on the last spin.

What is the jackpot (maximum win)?

Great Chicken Escape slot doesn’t have a jackpot, but you can still win quite a lot here. The maximum win is 5,000 times your bet, which is a very solid potential even for a very volatile game. Play with the highest possible stake and you can rake in up to £500,000 here.
