Pragmatic Play – Chicken Drop – Free Game

We just tested a farm-themed grid slot from Pragmatic Play yesterday, namely the somewhat similar Fruit Party 2 . However, Chicken Drop has a humorous streak in the form of a rather manic and wide-eyed hen on the right. She is instrumental in the Progressive Egg Drop feature and also helps you determine the size and multiplier value of each egg.

The visual presentation is bright and idyllic, and the redneck soundtrack gets you in the mood for a good old moonlight barn dance. This game is all about building up the size and value of the Mystery Egg, and when it drops, it turns all the underlying symbols into a randomly selected matching symbol. A single cluster payout of 1,000 times your bet is possible even without an egg or multiplier action, so it can certainly get interesting when the egg is boosted.

Chicken Drop Slot Features

Any win triggers the tumble feature , which removes all winning symbols from the grid. This creates a gap that is filled with existing and/or new symbols that drop from the top, and the process continues as long as you land new win clusters.

The Progressive Egg feature is triggered whenever you land a 4-leaf clover or watering can symbol anywhere in sight. Watering can increase the size of the ice symbol that falls later, and the egg can be up to 6×6 . The 4-leaf clover, on the other hand, increases the multiplier value from x2 to a maximum of x10 .

At the end of a tumble sequence, the egg drops to a randomly marked position and transforms all symbols involved into a random matching symbol. If this results in a win, the payout is increased by the multiplier value you achieved. The hen on the right holds up a sign that shows your egg size and multiplier progress, and everything resets once the tumble sequence is complete.

You trigger the bonus round whenever you land 4, 5 or 6 scatters anywhere in sight, and this awards you 10, 15 and 20 free spins respectively . All Egg upgrades from the base game are carried over to the bonus round and the Egg attributes are not reset during the feature.

You benefit from an egg drop at the end of each tumble sequence, and it lands on randomly selected highlighted areas on the grid. Landing 4+ scatters anywhere will award you +5 additional spins, and there is no cap on the number of new triggers you can receive. Players outside the United Kingdom can purchase the bonus round from the in-game menu for 100 times the total bet.

The 200 Spins Chicken Drop Slot Experience

We’ve included a few longer egg upgrade sequences from the base game before the bonus round is triggered at 2:34 in the 6-minute highlights video. These are worth a look, as they give a good idea of what the base game is capable of. See how it all played out by clicking the play button below.

Rating Conclusion

The Progressive Egg system that Pragmatic Play has incorporated into Chicken Drop is kind of clever. You tend not to succumb to the temptation to simply copy Play’n Go’s grid slot system, where symbol collection triggers modifiers. It can be difficult to get into longer tumble sequences where the egg and/or multiplier grows significantly in the base game, but this is to be expected in a very volatile game.

However, this all changes in the bonus round, as you now get an egg drop at the end of each spin sequence, and the egg attributes are not reset between spins. This can lead to very decent wins of 5,000 times your bet, although your odds are 1 in 4,166,667. These are significantly lower maximum odds than Pragmatic’s somewhat similar Fruit Party duo, not least the first in the series.
