Pragmatic Play Adds Chicken Chase Slot to Its Portfolio

After the big success of the Barn Festival game, the leading iGaming provider Pragmatic Play has added Chicken Chase, another farm-themed slot, to its ever-expanding portfolio. Get ready for a crazy run around the farmyard while you try to protect all the chickens from a mean old wolf. 

Played on a standard 5x3 grid with 10 paylines, Chicken Chase is one of the rare Pragmatic Play games that’s rated low on a volatility scale. The release is suitable for both low and high-rollers and the studio has given casino operators a chance to choose the RTP level for themselves  - 96.48%, 95.48%, or 94.55%. The ultimate prize for the luckiest and most successful farmers is 2,100x the bet. 

At the bottom end of the paytable are tasty veggies while farmer's precious poultry is ranked high, bringing players as much as 80x the bet for 5-of-a-kind on a line. The Wild symbol is represented by a wolf and it can substitute for all symbols, bar Bonus symbol, and help in creating winning combos. Also, landing 3 or more Wild comes with hefty cash prizes that reach up to 200x the bet. 

Unique Spin and Hold Feature     

Although at the first glance the basic setup of the game looks pretty simple, players will notice on the very first spin that these reels have much more to offer . 

Pragmatic Play has added a pretty unique ‘Spin and Hold’ feature that gets activated after any spin where the player has not landed 5-of-a-kind. However, not only do they get the free respin as a reward, they also get the chance to choose which reels they want to hold for the respin. They can choose by themselves by clicking on the Hold button at the bottom of the reels or allow the game to randomly choose that for them. 

Special Bonus Feature

By landing at least 3 Golden Eggs aka Bonus symbols, players trigger a special mini-game that brings instant cash prizes. This bonus round starts with players being introduced to 4 chickens on a screen and they have to choose one of them. The size of the prizes depends on the number of Bonus symbols that activated the game. ​

• 3 Bonus Symbols - 2x, 4x, 12x, or 50x
• 4 Bonus Symbols - 4x, 8x, 24x, or 100x
• 5 Bonus Symbols - 6x, 12x, 36x, or 150x

Chicken Chase slot is in many ways the casino entertainment in its purest form. It’s just simple and fun! Nothing about this gameplay is complicated but it can be quite enchanting. 

Granted, the game was designed to primarily fit the needs of low-volatility slot fans. However, it can appeal to those who prefer more volatile reels due to its nicely implemented extras. The respin that follows pretty much every basic game spin means that you technically get 2 spins for the price of 1. And the Hold feature elevates the whole experience to the new level. Although locking of the reels is nothing new in the world of video slots, the fact that you can hold as many reels as you want and not pay a single penny, means a lot.     

The free spins round is noticeably missing from the offer but with frequent respins and a hold option in the base game, it’s not a surprise that Pragmatic opted for something different in the bonus round. The mini-game with instant cash prizes guaranteed is a great way to boost gaming experience as well as their balance.
