Chicken or the Egg

This Realistic Games slot is all about chickens and eggs and you may (or may not) end up answering the age-old question of which one came before. The Chicken or the Egg slot has a rather traditional set of video slot features, with a farm theme to bring the reels to life, 10 paylines to watch out for and a maximum win cap of 10,000 coins. Read on below to discover all this online slot has to offer at LeoVegas Ireland!

In Chicken or the Egg, you get a set of familiar features, including wild symbols, scatter symbols, win multipliers and free spins. It’s a fairly simple slot, which you’ll familiarise yourself with after just a few spins. The most unique feature here is the scatter symbol and you get two of these tokens which both activate during free spins and collect values from other symbols, as you’ll see below.

The most creative symbols on the reels are the chicken and egg scatter symbols. A chicken symbol can randomly transform into an egg symbol and an egg symbol can also transform into a chicken symbol.
In the base game, these transformations can happen when you have three or more mixed scatter symbols on the reels, but during free spins, this can happen with any number of scatter symbols in view. Transformations can never have a negative outcome for the player and three or more identical scatter symbols will never be transformed.

You get both chicken and egg scatter symbols, but only combinations of identical scatter symbols will unlock free spins. Landing three, four or five identical scatter symbols awards you with eight, 12 or 15 free spins, respectively.
Triggering scatter symbols remain active during the bonus rounds and each has a counter indicating how long they’ll be active. Active chicken symbols collect all the awards that land with new chicken symbols on the reels. Active egg scatter symbols do the same thing for egg symbols. Free spins end when you no longer have any active scatter symbols.
You can add even more free spins to your tally by landing more scatter symbols. Three, four or five identical scatter symbols add another eight, 12 or 15 free spins, respectively. Like the initial scatter symbols, they remain active on the reels until their counter runs out.

Whenever a free spin is played with both an active chicken and egg scatter symbol, you activate the multiplier wheel. The wheel spins awarding a random win multiplier of 2x,3x, 5x or 10x. All reel wins and scatter awards take advantage of the random win multiplier. This doesn’t apply to regular free spin wins.

Chicken or the Egg plays out on five reels and three rows, offering a maximum of 10 paylines. To put together a winning combination you’ll need three identical symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. The more symbols you have in a payline, the bigger the reward. The online slot’s low-paying symbols are represented by 10 to A royal card symbols and these can get you up to 10 coins for five identical symbols.
On the other hand, high-paying symbols come in all sorts of exciting designs, including a bag of corn, bales of hay, a tractor and a barn. The highest-paying symbol is the wild, which pays out 250 coins for five identical symbols.

As soon as you fire up the video slot, you can check out the game rules and paytable from the menu button at the bottom right of the online slot’s screen. You can also set your preferred bet level by clicking the coin icon above it. Once you’re ready to play, you can hit the spin button. Above it, you’ll find the autoplay button, which lets you spin up to 100 consecutive spins. The video slot works on Android and iOS, so you can enjoy this Realistic Games slot on the go too.
