Wild Symbols
A Rooster symbol serves as both Wild and Scatter in Chicken Road. It substitutes all standard symbols, except other special icons (bonus Scatters or bonus symbols), thereby facilitating the formation of winning combinations more easily and frequently during gameplay.
Functions
- Substitutes for missing icons to complete a payout combination.
- Multiplier effect is not specified but expected behavior would be akin to classic Wilds without an explicitly defined multiplier function in this context, substituting symbols from 3x upwards depending on their role as required by specific conditions within the slot machine’s rules.
Scatter Symbols
The Rooster symbol serves multiple roles. It functions primarily but not exclusively, as a Scatter symbol which triggers special rounds and bonus features:
- When two or more appear across different reels they create Scatters that activate free spins.
- At least one such occurrence leads to an extra spin without changing the payout rate; three or four trigger 7, 10 or 14 additional free games respectively while five result in a gigantic haul of twenty (20) bonus rotations at doubled line stakes with enhanced prize winnings available across the board during active freespins.
Functions
- Activates the ‘Extra Spin’ feature when only one appears anywhere on reels.
- Triggers Bonus Features described above for higher counts within the game environment.
