Run, little chicken, run!

What do you think a game called "Chicky Run" would be about? Yes, it's about a chicken running down the road. The closest game I've seen to this is Uncrossable Rush by Evoplay, although admittedly that one is a little more gory. In Chicky Run, your cute little chicken sprints down a road (in Rio de Janeiro, judging by the background), and there's a chance it'll get wiped out by a car at any time. Charming.

Chicky Run looks and sounds like an arcade game

The soundtrack here sounds more like an arcade game than a slot – if you've ever played car racing video games, you might know what I'm talking about. The drums, whistles, and bells fit the game well, but I'll admit the sadist in me was hoping for a "splat" sound when the car hits the chicken.

Follow your animated chicken as it sprints down the road

This game doesn't look anything like your typical slot: it looks like a video game. The chicken character is animated as it runs down the road, and if you manage to avoid the cars, you'll also pick up a whole flock of chickens along the way. But don't worry, if you're a bit squeamish, you'll be pleased to hear that the chickens are drawn in a cartoonish style, nothing too realistic.

Low volatility, high excitement

The Chicky Run slot game comes with low volatility, which in a normal slot would mean more frequent wins, albeit slightly less exciting gameplay. But as the cars can strike at any time, this game still feels tense and exciting. The RTP of the game is 96%, which is exactly average. It could be worse, could be better.

The max win on Chicky Run is 30.72x your stake, which is quite low, but it makes sense for a simple game like this one. I was impressed to see that the minimum stake amount is just $/€/£0.03, while the maximum comes in at $/€/£9.

Here's how to get eggs-tra lucky on Chicky Run

The Chicky Run casino game doesn't come with reels, rows, or paylines like other slots. It's more of an instant win game, so if you've played titles like Aviator before, you might be familiar with the concept.

Just place your bet, and your little chicken will start running down the middle of the road. Use the arrows to move the chicken to the left or right lane. As the chicken runs, cars will randomly appear, and if the chicken is in the same lane as the car, it will be hit. If the car is in the other lane, the chicken keeps running, or you can cash out. Remember, all of this is random, so you can't actually control the outcome.

This game is made in a mobile-first orientation, so it works better on a phone screen than on desktop.

Chicky Run has a simple payout structure

Unlike other slot games, there are no symbols here. It's just you and your chicken friend. You'll want to be aware of the payouts, though. Here's how much you'll get for avoiding the cars:

• 1 Car: 1.92x
• 2 Cars: 7.68x
• 3 Cars: 15.36x
• 4 Cars: 30.72x

The Chicky Run casino game lacks special features

If there's one thing I found to be seriously lacking here, it's bonus features. I understand that this is a very simple game, so gameplay has to be straightforward, but it would be nice if there were ways to get bigger multipliers, or shield your chicken from cars.

Don't chicken out: try the Chicky Run demo

Let me say immediately, the Chicky Run game isn't for everyone, and the relatively low max win is a real disappointment. If slots are more your style, or you prefer progressive jackpots, free spins, and multipliers, don't even try this game out. But if you're in the market for something simple with decent RTP (and you don't mind the idea of squashed chickens), it might be worth a go. Just be sure to play on your mobile and always test a Chicky Run demo first.
