Theme and Design
The Stake Chicken slot features 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols arranged on a standard grid Stake Chicken layout, surrounded by various backgrounds related to chicken farms and agricultural settings.

- High-paying symbols:
- Rooster

Payouts and Wilds
Wild symbols in the Stake Chicken slot are represented by a logo reading "Wild" over an illustration of multiple chicken breeds. These wilds can substitute any of the game’s normal or high-paying symbols to help create winning combinations but do not replace Scatters. The Wild symbol does not multiply payouts for its involvement.
The payout structure varies according to the number of matching symbols achieved on a single payline:
- High paying symbols (Rooster, Cow, Sheep) from 2-5 times: Pay out between 2x and 500x stake.
- Medium-paying symbols (Eggplant, Corn, Wheat): Pay out between 1.4x to 100x the total bet.
Scatters
Scatter symbols in Stake Chicken slot machine are represented by an Egg icon with a dollar ($) symbol on top of it. This Scatter doesn’t require alignment along any payline and pays its reward regardless of spin outcome or line activation.
- Scatter’s payout: Upon landing 3 to 5 Scatters anywhere across the screen, players receive up to 200x their total stake as an instant win bonus in addition to initiating Free Spins. The number of free spins awarded depends on Scatter combinations achieved:
- 3 scatters reward 8 free spins
- 4 scatters award 16 free spins
- 5 Scatters grant 25 or more free spin rounds
During the Free Spin mode, an additional high paying chicken logo emerges as a Wild replacement for all standard game symbols.
Bonus Features
In addition to the main Stake Chicken gameplay and bonus rounds based on Scatter combinations, there are no other specific features. There is no buy feature in this slot machine where players can bypass free spin requirements by using real money directly.
However, Free Spins act as an added incentive for engaging with gameplay within standard Stake Chicken rules due to higher payouts offered during the mode’s conditions – a chance to multiply earned rewards multiple times larger than achieved through initial bets set before entering bonus games rounds.
RTP and Volatility
The Stake Casino slot has not disclosed official figures regarding Return To Player (RTP) yet. Since online casinos offer their own odds on stake chicken by running different games versions according some rules of this slots it is also difficult to establish the exact RTP rate across various sites that support it.
In terms of volatility, players have described the experience as moderately volatile due in part to a balanced relationship between frequent small wins during regular spin rounds and fewer but potentially much larger wins occurring throughout stake-chicken-themed bonus features’ play.
