Golden Egg Of Crazy Chicken Slots
Have you ever spent sleepless nights wondering what ancient Egypt would have been like if it had been run by chickens? No, neither have we, but the answer is perhaps revealed in the Golden Egg of Crazy Chicken video slot from Gamomat (formerly Bally Wulff). Those normally serious Germans at Gamomat have gone clucking mad with this game, which is part of a series of online casino slots featuring a bonkers bird known as Moorhuhn in Germany. Computer-rendered symbols can line up across the five reels of this game with a choice of 5 or 10 paylines, awarding features that include expanding wilds and richer reels in a free spins round. Winnings can be gambled, but be careful as you could lose the gamble round and end up with egg on your face.
The comedic symbols include classics from ancient Egyptian-themed slot games, such as the all-seeing Eye and the crook and staff, mixed in with chickens dressed as a pharaoh. Each of the reels has a stone effect, and we get a glimpse of a desert landscape dotted with ancient temples peeking out from behind them. It’s a pity that the soundtrack doesn’t match the impressive visuals, as all we have got to listen to is a series of beeps and buzzes as the reels spin.
Players should be able to feather their nests with coins by landing matching symbols across a payline from left to right. The Golden Egg of Crazy Chicken video slot has a high return-to-player percentage, and like all games from Gamomat, it’s been independently certified for fair play. You won’t need to shell out much to get started either, as the minimum stake is just 0.05 per spin. Enough of the bad jokes! It’s time to crack open this slot game and see what’s waiting for us inside.
Feathery Pharaohs
It’s not all Egg-yptian-themed, however – the standard playing card symbols J, Q, K and A will create the lower-value combinations when at least three of a kind are seen across a payline. Each will be worth prizes of 5x, 20x, or 100x the line stake when landing on three, four, or five reels. Picture symbols include an Egyptian-style bird and the Eye, with three chickens in different poses completing the top of the pay table. Landing the pharaoh will see 100x, 250x, or 500x your line bet returned to you.
There’s a second image of the chicken pharaoh, this time in an animated 3D graphics-style. This royal rooster is a wild symbol which acts as others, apart from the golden egg, to complete combinations. It’s also an expanding wild symbol that stretches across any reel it’s seen on, making it more likely to create an extra win for you and potentially complete several combinations at once.
Top of the Pyramid
The golden egg is a scatter symbol. Any three, four, or five eggs in view in any places will be worth prizes of 2x, 20x and 50x the total stake respectively, followed by 12 free spins. The pharaoh takes on special powers during this feature. Each time he’s seen, the lowest-value picture symbols get upgraded to the next most valuable ones, which can easily lead to bigger payouts. Pharaoh symbols will also add extra games onto the end of the current round, with one, three, or 12 more spins granted by one, two, or three pharaohs in view after any free spin.
Don’t Chicken Out
If you’re feeling lucky, why not play the optional gamble game after any win? There are two ways to gamble the prize: a simple red or black guess as a playing card switches between the colors, or opting for the more exciting ladder gamble. You will see 13 steps on the ladder, with higher prize values from the bottom to the top. Two values will be flashing on and off, and correctly timed clicks will highlight either the higher or lower prize. Keep going until you decide to collect the win, reach the top of the ladder, or bottom out and lose the gamble.
A Nest Egg
This fun game can be played in free Golden Egg of Crazy Chicken video slot mode, or you can play for cash bets of between 0.05 and 6.00. Unfortunately, high rollers are going to be put off by the maximum stake being set so low, but for the majority of us it should be fine.
You can choose to activate an autoplay function, where the reels spin on their own for as long as you want. Meanwhile, a turbo mode gets them spinning even faster. The Golden Egg of Crazy Chicken slot is mobile-optimized, so you won’t have to be cooped up inside to play this game on iPads, iPhones, or Android and Windows devices.
Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket?
While there’s no end to slot machines themed around ancient Egypt, few of them cover the topic in such a unique way. The Crazy Chicken series includes the Easter Egg slot, which is also set among the ancient tombs of Egypt. This time, it’s an Indiana Jones-type adventure, where our friendly chicken is hunting colorful eggs and cartoon-bunny mummies. Land five examples of the eggs to trigger the Extra Eggs bonus, which sees them all transformed into a randomly chosen higher-value symbol.
More cartoon capers can be found in the Mummy Money video slot from Habanero. It’s a five-reel, 25-line game which sees mummified playing card symbols and zombie hands appear alongside the classic ankh and scarab beetle. A grinning mummy is a wild symbol that doubles winnings, while the pharaoh is a scatter icon that helps wrap things up by awarding 12 free spins, during which wins are tripled in value. Mummy Money comes with a progressive jackpot that’s awarded at random.
A Fun Pharaoh
The Golden Egg of Crazy Chicken video slot works on many levels. It looks great, has a real sense of humor, but also offers some decent gameplay and features to eggs-plore. With just 5 or 10 paylines, it’s a high-volatility game where you could be spinning the reels for a while between winning combinations. While some punters may like this, others would prefer to land lots of smaller prizes.
Some nice animations, such as the expanding wild pharaoh, add to the enjoyment – plus, his ability to complete lines of matching symbols is a useful touch. The way symbols are upgraded by any pharaoh in view during the free games and the addition of extra spins are yet another little treat from Bally Wulff. We wish the maximum wager had been set higher, but this shouldn’t ruffle the feathers of too many players.
