Chicken Drop is a video slot crafted in the classic Pragmatic colourful cartoon style. The familiar win sounds and animations seen on most of the developers slots come together for Chicken Drop. The production is polished and the farm setting well drawn. Our hen steals the show, wide-eyed and cookey faced, when laying eggs and displaying the upgrade levels with her board. Chicken Drop is well composed and blended well, with comical touches that make for an entertaining spin.

The pay symbols start at the low end with red gem hearts and blue gem spades which pay up to 57x your stake for clusters of 37+ matching symbols. A mushroom, acorn and corncob make up the mid-payers which pay up to 250x your stake for clusters of 37+ matching symbols. Lastly, the blueberries and strawberries award 500x and 1000x your bet respectively for matching 37+ symbols in a cluster. Two upgrade symbols trigger the golden egg; a water sprinkler will upgrade the egg sizes and a four-leaf clover symbol will upgrade the egg multiplier. Landing four or more treasure chest scatter symbols will trigger the free spins and finally, golden eggs in various sizes are batches of matching mystery symbols.

Chicken Drop Slot Features

Pragmatic Play seems to have an endless production line of games that carry familiar sounds and graphical style. Naturally, when keeping the pace, some releases felt more like stocking fillers and last-minute grabs in recent times, rather than well-planned surprises like Wolf Gold, Great Rhino or The Dog House. Let’s see if Chicken Drop will be a good egg or bad egg in the expanding Pragmatic portfolio.

Chicken Drop uses a cluster pays and tumbling symbols mechanic, also known as cascading symbols, as the engine that drives the gameplay. Winning clusters of symbols ‘pop’ and disappear from the grid leaving vacant spaces. The remaining symbols tumble down where possible while new ones drop in from above. This can create a repetitive circle of mechanics or a ‘win sequence’ until no more wins occur and the sum of all wins is paid as a total at the end.

In addition to the core gameplay, upgrade symbols will queue a Mystery Egg Drop feature upon landing. When no more wins occur from tumbling symbols the egg drops on the grid into a random position and cracks to reveal blocks of matching mystery symbols. Connecting wins will kickstart the tumbling symbol mechanic again and further upgrade symbols will queue another egg, only this time increasing in size or multiplier depending on the symbol/s that land. This process can repeat and create a chain of tumbling symbols and mystery symbol wins from eggs growing progressively in size and multiplier until no more wins occur and the Mystery Egg Drop feature resets.

• Water Sprinkler | Egg size upgrade – Queues an egg drop, starting with a 2×2 size. Each subsequent water sprinkler will increase the following egg size to 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 and 6×6 progressively.
• Four-Leaf Clover | Egg multiplier upgrade – Will queue an egg drop, starting with an x2 multiplier. Each four-leaf clover that follows will increase the multiplier by x1 up to a maximum limit of x11.
• Golden Mystery Eggs – Drop onto the grid and selects a pay symbol at random to reveal, also multiplying that win only by the egg multiplier. The eggs size and multiplier is dictated by number of previously landed upgrade symbols and displayed on a board by the egg-laying hen. Mystery egg symbols do not remove or displace the chest scatter symbols.

Landing four or more chest scatter symbols will trigger the Chicken Drop Free Spins bonus. Four scatters pay x6 and begin a round of 10 free spins, 5 scatters will pay x10 starting with 15 free spins and landing 6 or 7 scatter symbols will award 20 starting spins and award x40 and 200x your bet respectively.

During the free spins bonus, the Mystery Egg Drop feature does not reset between spins and keeps both the egg size and multiplier for the duration of the round. Land four additional chests during the bonus to trigger five extra spins, with no limits.

You can also Bonus Buy the Chicken Drop Free Spins for 100 times your stake. This begins a base game triggering spin with the same opportunity of 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols. The RTP remains the same at 96.50%.

Final Verdict

Chicken Drop is a fun slot with the familiar Pragmatic Play sight and sound branding, that employs cluster pays and tumbling symbols with mystery symbol drops in a proven formula for long win sequences should the stars align. The progressive multiplier requires divine intervention in the base game due to the reset but can creep along nicely in the free spins. The upgrade symbols hold the key to wins in the upper range.
