We Check Out The Great Chicken Escape, Pragmatic Plays Latest Online Slot Release!
If you are looking for an online slot that is literally packed with bonus features then Pragmatic Plays latest bizarrely titled The Great Chicken Escape certainly delivers, with 5 unique main bonus rounds and a good mix of random base game special features too.
There is a fantastic selection of Pragmatic Play slots already playable at LeoVegas Casino making it our recommended casino to check out this new and egg-citing release! the game does throw in a few more chicken/egg puns also with “hensational” wins on offer.
The base game is a regular 5×3 reel 20 payline affair with a usual 3 scatter bonus trigger for the main free spins options along with several randomly activated base game features including Guard Dog wilds, Chicken Run wilds, and Care Package modifiers, adding extra wilds, wild reels and random symbols into the mix.
Land the elusive 5 scatters and you will trigger the Big Money Bonus round instantly, even the early bonus features are able to produce some nice wins, so if it looks too risky to pie gamble an upgrade there is plenty of excitement to be had in the other bonus rounds!
If you have any experience of playing the Blueprint Gaming range of slots and the “pie gamble” bonus upgrade features then you will instantly find this slot appealing as it plays out in a very similar fashion, lose the gamble and you will be awarded a random cash amount, normally much less than the main bonus rounds are capable of producing though.
The Great Chicken Escape certainly offers stacks of variety in the bonus features, you can check out most of these in the promotional video and screenshots below.

Overall Opinions
Overall the Great Chicken Escape is a really solid and enjoyable slot release from Pragmatic Play, the overall style and theme have been done to a very high standard and the wealth of base game and main bonus features will definitely keep you interested as you hunt for that elusive Big Money Bonus.
In our playtests, we definitely noticed the big increase in win potential from the upper-level bonus features, faced with the risk of gambling up to these features can be a risky affair, but the Super Spin at the end of the To The Other Side feature can be particularly rewarding (see screenshots).
In our playtests including the Gamble lose feature we had bonus wins in the range of 10x to over 300x stake and the base game hits over 100x stake from the randomly activated features.
Overall a thoroughly polished release from Pragmatic, a slot that will most definitely appeal to fans of the Blueprint Gaming style pie gamble feature slots! One to check out, and a big thumbs up from us!
