Chicken Run

Overview

Chicken Run is a 5-reel, 15-payline online casino slot game developed by Microgaming, based on the popular stop-motion animated film of the same name released in 2000. The game takes players on an adventure set in Yorkshire, England, where they join the lovable but rebellious flock of chickens as they hatch a plan to Chicken Run escape the clutches of their sadistic owner, Mr. Tweedy.

Theme and Design

The Chicken Run slot has a colorful and whimsical design inspired by the film’s stop-motion animation style. The reels are set against a green hillside background, with farm buildings and hills visible in the distance. The game’s symbols include characters from the movie, such as Ginger (the protagonist), Rocky, and Mrs. Tweedy. The other symbols on the reels feature various items related to chicken farming, including egg baskets, tractors, and chickens pecking at food.
