About the game
Chicken Fox Jr. is the cut-down entry in the series, and the name is accurate in every direction: a smaller stake range, a smaller ceiling and a smaller return than either game before it.
What it keeps is the substitution idea from the original, extended into a symbol swap that trades one symbol for another during the round. On a twenty-line grid that is a meaningful mechanic rather than decoration.
At $0.20 to $90 it is aimed at a shorter session than the games it sits beside, which is the most coherent thing about it.
How to play
- Stake$0.20 to $90 across twenty fixed lines
- SpinWilds stand in for the farmyard symbols to complete a line
- Trigger the roundBonus symbols open the free spins
- SwapSymbols are exchanged during the round, turning near-misses into paying lines
- ExtendAdditional free spins can be won inside the round, with a multiplier running through it

Min bet
95% flat — the lowest of the three Chicken Fox games and, with Stellar Cash's 94%, near the bottom of everything in this catalogue.
No variance rating is attached to this release, so the shape of the distribution has to be read off the mechanics: twenty lines and a swap-driven free-spins round is a mid-weight arrangement rather than an extreme one.
x2,733 is the listed ceiling — a seventh of Skillstar's and a fifth of the original's, and the clearest measure of how much smaller this build is than the games either side of it.
Strengths and weaknesses
Pros
- Symbol swaps give the free spins something to do
- A $0.20 entry, the lowest of the Chicken Fox games
- Additional free spins with a multiplier through the round
Cons
- 95%, the lowest return of the three Chicken Fox slots
- A x2,733 ceiling, a seventh of what Skillstar lists
- Smaller than the games either side of it in every dimension
- No playable demo the page can carry
Final verdict
Chicken Fox Jr. is what its name says: the series scaled down. The symbol swap is a decent mechanic and the $0.20 entry makes it approachable.
It is hard to argue for over its siblings, though. The return is the lowest of the three, the ceiling is a fraction of theirs, and nothing here is done better than the games it was cut down from.
