Chicken Road 2 is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot game developed by Pragmatic Play, a renowned online casino software provider known for creating engaging and immersive gaming experiences. As its name suggests, this game follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, offering players an entertaining journey through a Chicken Road 2 world of farm-themed symbols, wild animals, and thrilling bonus features.
Theme and Design
The Chicken Road 2 slot is set against a backdrop of rural roads, hills, and valleys, evoking memories of classic American highways. The graphics are vibrant and colorful, featuring cartoon-style characters that bring the game to life. Players will encounter farm animals such as chickens, pigs, cows, horses, and even a friendly farmer or two, each carefully designed with intricate details.
The symbols in this game range from low-paying cards (9-A) to high-paying animal icons, including a wild boar, horse, cow, sheep, goat, chicken, and the top-paying symbol – a rooster. These well-designed images not only enhance the overall theme but also contribute to the engaging gameplay experience.

Payouts
When a player lands three or more matching identical icons on adjacent reels (from left to right), they will receive the corresponding payout according to the paytable. The payouts are listed below:
- Three of a kind (e.g., three Aces): Pays up to 50x bet
- Four of a kind: Pays between 150-1000x bet
- Five of a kind or more: Pay up to 2000x bet
Wilds and Scatters
The wild symbol is represented by the rooster, which substitutes for all other symbols except scatters. When it appears on reels one through four (but not five), the chicken expands across the entire reel, offering multiple winning opportunities.
Scatter icons are depicted as small flags bearing the number ‘2’. They can appear anywhere on reels 1-3 and award a total of up to 15 free spins when three or more scatters land simultaneously. Each additional scatter adds one bonus round.
Bonus Features
During gameplay, players may trigger either the Chicken Frenzy Bonus or the Free Spins Round:
-
Chicken Frenzy Bonus : When two chicken symbols appear on adjacent reels (not necessarily next to each other), this feature is activated. In this round:
- The game transitions into a new 4×3 grid layout
- Any wilds in play will transform into sticky chickens, which lock for the duration of the bonus.
- One single bet can produce up to eight possible ways (via combination) and each result determines how many reels get involved with the Chicken Frenzy Bonus feature during free spins.
-
Free Spins : Upon triggering three or more scatters anywhere on reel one through three, 10-15 additional rounds will commence:
- In the Free Spins game, an expanding wild boar feature can be activated if a single scatter (from two to four) is revealed in reels.
- Sticky wild symbols also remain active after each round until all ten have completed.
Volatility and Betting Range
Chicken Road 2 features moderate volatility. With low variance, players might experience slightly shorter streaks of winnings but with greater frequency compared to highly volatile games. As the volatility rating falls within a middle ground (around 95-97%), expect consistent yields and manageable payouts during periods of high concentration.
Max Win and Payout Potential
This slot machine has two main max wins: The default option offers up to 1,500x stake while playing for real money or practicing with virtual chips. There’s also an increased potential offering a chance at the ‘Grand Prize’ where maximum payout can reach x5,000 (which is not a bonus round).
