Chicken Zap by Turbo Games: Fowl Play with Fortune

Overview of Chicken Zap

Released by Turkish game development studio, Turbo Games, in 2020, "Chicken Zap" is a vibrant online video slot machine that invites players to join an electrifying adventure with a flock of mischievous chickens. Set against the backdrop of a sun-kissed countryside, this five-reel, ten-payline game boasts colorful graphics and engaging bonus features.

Theme

The theme of Chicken Chicken Zap Zap revolves around farming and rural life. Players are transported to a picturesque landscape filled with green fields, trees, and rolling hills. A cast of lovable farm animal friends – including roosters, hens, ducks, geese, cows, pigs, horses, and sheep – roam the reels and interact with players throughout gameplay.

The overall atmosphere is lighthearted, fun-filled, and carefree, much like a typical countryside experience. The developers have skillfully incorporated elements from both nature and agriculture to create an immersive theme that appeals to a wide range of slot enthusiasts.

Design

Turbo Games’ artistic team has delivered an impressive visual package with Chicken Zap’s colorful graphics and endearing characters. Each symbol is carefully crafted, offering stunning detail and smooth animations throughout gameplay.

The reels themselves feature a 3D perspective, adding depth and creating the illusion that players are interacting directly with the game world. Players can view their surroundings, including bonus symbols, scatters, and special effects, without straining or feeling claustrophobic – an excellent example of user-friendly design.

Symbols

Chicken Zap offers two distinct sets of icons: Low-Value Symbols (LV) and High-Value Symbols (HV). LVs comprise traditional slot numbers 9 through A while HVs feature unique symbols linked to the farming theme, including eggs, beaks, chickens, hatching chicks, silos, barnyards, sheaves of wheat, roosters, and tractors.

Payouts

Low-value symbols award varying sums depending on player wager. LVs grant 0.05x to 1x the total stake for five-of-a-kind combinations while HV icons provide higher returns: eggs (2x), beaks (3x), chickens (4x) – up to silos and barnyards at 20x.

Higher-payout symbols showcase bigger prizes, ranging from 10x for sheaves of wheat and tractors to substantial sums like the 50x awardable by matching five roosters or hens. These icons also appear as multipliers during Wilds feature events (explained later).

Wild Symbols

The Wild Symbol in Chicken Zap is represented by an animated chicken with its feathers glowing bright, indicating the bird’s electrifying powers.

The Rooster, featured on two unique occasions: first as a ‘Rooster’ symbol offering variable wins between 1x and 5x; secondly appearing during Wilds events to multiply the total winning. The bonus features detailed below are activated whenever this high-voltage rooster comes into view.

Scatters

The Scatter Symbol, also animated with dynamic effects when triggered, represents a gleaming barnyard where eggs hatch overnight. Triggering three Scatters sets off Bonus Free Spins. The Barnyard icon is an additional High-Value symbol offering 5x returns on five-of-a-kind combination wins – doubling player profits.

Bonus Features and Events

When any Wild Rooster lands anywhere in the reels (Wilds), a bright, blue electric line zaps the current slot position, resulting:

a) Electrified Multipliers: multiplying winning combinations between 1x to 20x (Roosters).

b) Bonus Symbols Transformation – converting LV icons into HV.

c) Stacked Wild Spinning and ‘Zapped’ Reels, which appear as locked reels during subsequent spins – maintaining the bonus effect while still providing wins on other reels.

Free Spins

Once three Scatter Barnyards appear, 10-25 free games are initiated:

• A ‘Random Rooster Effect’: random number from 1 to 3 displays randomly. This means any Wild symbol that appears will be upgraded and used for each subsequent spin during free spins.
• Extra Win Multiplier applies based on the displayed rooster number (up to 4x or 5x).

Each Free Spin win remains locked, while displaying ‘Free Spin Locked Wins’ messages in place of regular payline indicators.
