Spadegaming is one of the little-known but rising stars of Asian slot software producers. Golden Chicken is one of their slots that embodies a lot of Asian influences, plus the chicken. Here, all the glitters is certainly gold, as you will notice as soon as you give the slot a few spins. Refreshing in the way that the game seems to be more full of pop-culture than the usual cultural references of ancient Imperial China. But how does the game fare as a slot beyond this?
Theme
I have to say that the sound effects are something else. Though you might think a constant screeching of a chicken would be annoying, it somehow manages to be somewhat amusing. Of course, if you end up playing for longer stretches you might want to mute the sound eventually. For the most part, the theme is about bright colours and fancy symbols. Somewhat of a non-theme, but for one reason or another it works just fine.
Betting Options and Functions
This slot uses the 1024 ways to win system, which as always comes with five reels of four symbol positions each. The system works so, that as long as there are matching symbols on consecutive reels you end up scoring wins. A minimum of two symbols are needed to claim a prize. The top prize is 2000 times the bet, with most other wins falling between 2 and 100 times the bet.
Betting is done by selecting your total bet for each spin. The minimum seems to be 0.40 coins, whereas the maximum goes into hundreds. In addition to this, you have a couple of settings you can tweak, such as autoplay. A lot of folks will probably also welcome the fast spin button, which makes each spin come around way faster.
Features
The wild appears on reels two, three, and four, and functions like wilds always do. The scatter shows up like normal, and when three are on the screen it will award the player free spins. The more scatters the more free spins. There is also a golden egg bonus symbol, which shows up on reels one and five.
The bonus game is your usual pick a prize feature. You are presented with twelve objects to choose from, each revealing an egg. Once you have enough matching eggs you will be credited with the prize associated.
Five scatters will award the player with 20 free spins. During each spin, one of the three middle reels is stacked full with wilds.
Our Take
Mildly entertaining, this slot is surprisingly engaging. It’s not something that you’d play like a classic for years, but you can get some entertainment and some wins out for a few dozen or hundred spins. Try for free here or heat out to one of our suggested casinos.
