Chicken Chase is a 5x3 slot with 10 fixed paylines that does something unusual for Pragmatic Play: it gives you a free respin on every single spin. The game works in two stages. Reels land, and unless you've hit a five-of-a-kind, you pick which reels to hold before the rest respin. The game even suggests the optimal hold strategy, though you're free to ignore it.
This two-stage mechanic changes how the slot feels. You're actively making decisions instead of watching reels blur past. Hold two matching symbols on the left, let the rest respin, and suddenly a partial match becomes a paying combination. It gives the impression of control, even if the math underneath is still fixed.
Cartoon chickens, vegetables, and a barn at sunset. The visuals are bright and clean with a 3D-rendered style. The wild is a rooster carrying a BAR sign (paying 2,000 coins for five), and the bonus trigger is a golden egg symbol.
Land three or more golden eggs after your respin and you enter the Chicken Chase bonus: pick one of four chickens to reveal a prize. Three eggs give options of 2x, 4x, 12x, or 50x. Four eggs double those values. Five eggs push the top prize to 150x. Quick, simple, no multi-stage complexity.
And here's the catch. Max win is 210x your total bet. That's not low for a low-volatility slot - that's low for almost any slot. Even casual players hitting the bonus regularly will notice the ceiling. The best theoretical outcome (five wilds at max value plus bonus) barely scratches what most modern games offer as a mid-tier feature hit.
RTP is 96.48%, which is fair. The low volatility rating (2 out of 5 on Pragmatic's scale) means frequent returns. You'll see wins on most spins, especially with the guaranteed respin mechanic pushing partial matches into paylines. The paytable is structured around that frequency - the wild pays 2,000 coins for five, but the next symbol drops to 800, and low symbols flatten at 50.
Bets run from 0.10 to 100.00. At minimum stakes, this is a long-session grinder. At max bet, the 210x cap means your absolute best outcome is 21,000 currency units. No buy bonus, no ante bet, no jackpot.
Chicken Chase works for one specific purpose: extended play with minimal bankroll swings. The Spin and Hold interaction keeps things less passive than a standard autoplay session. But anyone looking for upside potential should know the ceiling before sitting down.
