Funky Chicks Slots

There’s some henhouse hilarity in WGS’s Funky Chicks video slot game, where a variety of chicken characters lay out some easy winnings for poultry-loving punters across 5 reels and 25 paylines. There’s certainly no fowl play going on here though, as it’s an online casino slot machine with a high return to players, that’s been fully certified for fairness by independent testing labs.

A barnyard of bonuses includes wild substitutions with multipliers and a free spins feature where prizes are doubled in value, which should all help players who are looking to feather their nests with winnings. There’s no gamble feature, and no special mix of symbols in the free games, but WGS have certainly plucked out the most popular bonuses and turned the Funky Chicks video slot machine into a game that should produce some reliable winning spins.

A simply, but colourful cartoon style brings a sense of fun to this game, which is filled with symbols of cool chickens, a farmer, his dog, and the lower-value playing card icons. The plainly-designed reels spin against a henhouse backdrop, framed on either side by the payline indicators, while the buttons to adjust bet sizes are below, and the controls to set the reels spinning are on the right side, rather confusingly covering up some of the payline numbers.

Playing Funky Chicks

You won’t have to shell out much to start playing Funky Chicks for real cash, as the low limit is 0.25 per spin, while coin values can be varied from 0.01 to 10.00, giving a maximum wager of 250.00. It makes this game suitable for both casual players and high rollers, or you can even practice on the free Funky Chicks video slots provided at sites where the WGS online casino games range is featured.

Symbols of the same kind will be needed on sequential reels from the left side across a payline to win a prize in normal play, and seeing either the 9, or 10 landing in place on 3, 4, or 5 reels will be worth 5x, 15x, or 75x the coin value respectively. The J or Q each pay out 5x, 25x, or 125x, while the top awards from playing card symbols come from the K or A landing across a line, with returns of 10x, 30x and 150x.

At least 3 of the farmer or his dog will be needed to win anything, and there’s a maximum of 200x the coin value when either of these symbols fills a payline, but the various chickens only need to be seen on reels 1 and 2 across a line to be worth a win. Tommy, the cool chick will pay between 2 and 500 coins, and the top-paying standard symbol is Funky Jr. who is worth up to 1000x.

Funky Farmyard Features

A cheerful-looking white chicken brings in the best payouts when she’s across a line, being worth between 10x and 5,000x the coin value, and she’s also a wild symbol that will act as all except the Mother Hen to complete winning combinations. So, players who have a break in the sequence of matching symbols across a payline will still get paid if this funky chicken is in the right place, and to sweeten the feature, any subsequent prize will be tripled in value.

Mother Hen is a panic-stricken brown chicken who could have players in a flap when she turns up, as she is a scatter symbol that can stop in just 2 places to return a win equal to the total triggering bet amount, not just the coin value. Any 3, 4 or 5 of this scatter symbol will first pay 5x, 15x, or 75x the total stake, and then a free spins bonus round will follow.

The number of free games awarded depends on the number of chickens that appeared, with 10 extra games to enjoy when 3 scatters landed, 20 bonus spins are triggered by 4 scatter symbols and there’s 30 spins to play out when 5 Mother Hens stop on the reels at once. All wins in this round are doubled in value, and the bonus spins can be retriggered by any 3 or more scatter symbols appearing in a single spin.

Is Funky Chicks a Barnyard Bonanza?

There’s quite a few farm-themed online slots available, and perhaps the best-known is Farm of Fun, by Spinomenal, but Funky Chicks is right up there with the best, thanks partly because of the fun style, and partly thanks to some high-value bonus features.

These are tried and tested bonus rounds, that are nothing unique, but proven to be potentially rewarding. Having the wild symbol multipliers in effect, plus a generous 30 free spins, with further multipliers should be enough to see some decent returns.

Another good point about the Funky Chicks video slot is that because it’s fully mobile-optimised, you won’t need to be cooped up at home to play it.
