Book Of Crazy Chicken Slot
With a name like that, you know that you are in for a very special and funny experience. Book Of Crazy Chicken from Gamomat (formerly Bally Wulff) is a video slot game that pokes fun at the very popular, and usually quite serious, ancient Egypt theme that is so popular on the market. Instead of the usual dignified archaeologist, you will be following the adventures of a cartoon chicken in the desert.
Book Of Crazy Chicken can actually be quite challenging, with a rather high volatility and smaller reel set than most modern slot games. You will have to use your wits and trust your gut to win big here, but rest assured that the game has plenty of gold to deliver. Stick around and real our full review of Book Of Crazy Chicken to find out more.
Not Your Average Egyptian Slot Game
Book Of Crazy Chicken starts off with a more serious not, as you discover your new gaming environment. The reels are floating on top of the usual Egyptian landscape: an unforgiving desert with sand dunes extending all the way to the horizon, pyramids and other ruins scattered around. The overall graphic quality is more than decent, with beautiful visual effects appearing as you spin the reels.
As soon as you meet the game’s protagonist, who happens to look a lot like a rubber chicken in adventurer’s gear, you’ll realise that Book Of Crazy Chicken is not taking itself very seriously, if you hadn’t figured that out yet. Nevertheless, we got really curious about this new kind of slot game parody, and couldn’t wait to learn more about the gameplay.
The Quest Has Begun
Book Of Crazy Chicken is based on 5 reels and 5 paylines, which isn’t much in comparison to many other modern slot games. You can bet from 250 to 50,000 credits per turn, so be careful when you set up the credit value in the menu. High rollers will be pleased to be able to take such big risks in Book Of Crazy Chicken right from the start. The usual bet max and autoplay shortcuts are always available, with 2 different optional mini games to try and double your latest reward.
The classic card icons are by far the most common in Book Of Crazy Chicken, and the least valuable as well. The game’s higher variance makes it tougher to score cash prizes in the beginning, so you will need some extra patience here. The vases, amulets and chicken symbols are rarer on the reels, but worth up to 250,000 credits when playing on the lowest settings. Once again, remember that this might seem like a huge jackpot, but the actual credit value is for you to decide during the game.
New Ways to Win Big
The actual Book Of Crazy Chicken replaces the Egyptian Book of the Dead in the game, and also serves as a wild card. Use it to increase your chances to win big and replace other symbols, or as a scatter. Book symbols appearing at the same time on the reels can be worth up to 50,000 credits, whether they are aligned or not.
Scattered books always have an additional bonus: a round of 10 free spins, during which one of the regular symbols will expand randomly. We found this feature particularly helpful in balancing out the high volatility of Book Of Crazy Chicken when we tested the game. In the end, we were able to score out most impressive wins thanks to it.
More Books to Browse
Book Of Crazy Chicken is clearly a parody slot game, aimed to poke fun at some of the most popular titles on the market. Take the Book Of Ra and Book Of Ra Deluxe slots by Novomatic, for instance. These 2 classic titles are extremely close to Book Of Crazy Chicken, with the same sort of gameplay, layout and bonuses as well. Adding a fearless chicken to the mix was just the cherry on the cake.
The Novomatic portfolio is actually quite rich in “book of” titles. Take Book Of Stars, for instance. The only obvious element that makes the difference with the other games of the series is the graphic theme itself. Now you see why the Gamomat/Bally Wulff developers probably wanted to shake things up a little and add a dose of crazy (chicken) to the mix.
More Than Just a Parody
Book Of Crazy Chicken takes some of the most prominent elements of a successful slot game genre, turns them upside down and becomes a real parody game. This isn’t something that we are really used to seeing, and we loved it. The game itself remains quite challenging and rewarding for high rollers.
Overall, Book Of Crazy Chicken is a rather unique experience, and we had a great time exploring the game’s quirky universe. Be sure that you are ready to play big if you want to enjoy the game to its fullest, though.
