Chicken Rush

Video slot by BGaming

About the game

Chicken Rush is BGaming's Wild West slot, and a big grid: five reels by five rows, with 3,125 ways to win rather than fixed paylines. Symbols pay from the leftmost reel across adjacent ones, so position matters more than lines do.

The base game's own trick is the multiplier wild, which lands carrying x2, x3, x5 or x10 and applies to any win it completes. Free spins add a second idea on top: one symbol is picked at random for the round and becomes the only one that appears.

At 97% the published return is the highest of BGaming's chicken titles, and higher than every InOut road game except the original. Stakes run from $0.20 to $20, and the bonus can be bought at three price levels.

97% is high for a slot and the best published figure of BGaming's chicken games. It is a long-run average, not a per-session one.

The ceiling is x5,000 the stake, which on the $20 maximum is $100,000 — well inside the $250,000 cash cap BGaming publishes.

Variance is rated medium-high. With 3,125 ways and a single symbol locked in during free spins, the round can pay very little or a great deal depending on which symbol is drawn.

Strengths and weaknesses

Pros

  • 97% published RTP, the highest of BGaming's chicken titles
  • 3,125 ways to win on a 5x5 grid
  • Multiplier wilds up to x10 in the base game
  • Three buy-in prices rather than one

Cons

  • The free-spins round depends entirely on which symbol is drawn
  • A x5,000 ceiling, modest for a slot of this size
  • A $20 maximum stake keeps the top end low

Final verdict

Chicken Rush is generous by published return, and the 97% is not the only thing it has going for it: multiplier wilds in the base game mean an ordinary spin can pay properly, which is rarer than it sounds in a slot built around a bonus.

The free-spins round is the gamble within the gamble. Locking the grid to one random symbol makes a round either a long dry stretch or a run of full-grid hits, with little in between — which is where the medium-high variance rating comes from.

The limits are at the top: x5,000 and a $20 maximum stake put the biggest realistic win well below what the road games advertise. This is a game to play for the return rather than for a headline.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do 3,125 ways to win work?

There are no paylines. A symbol combination pays if it appears on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost, in any row — five reels of five positions give 3,125 combinations.

What do the multiplier wilds do?

They land carrying x2, x3, x5 or x10 and multiply any win they complete. They appear in the base game, not only in the bonus.

What happens in free spins?

One symbol is chosen at random and becomes the only symbol that lands for the round, so the whole bonus turns on which one is drawn.

Can the bonus be bought?

Yes, at three different prices, each starting the round differently.

What is the most it can pay?

x5,000 the stake — $100,000 at the maximum bet, comfortably inside the published $250,000 cap.
