Chicken Rush is a BGaming video slot released on 15 May 2024, set in a Wild West town run by three rooster sheriffs. It is not one of the “chicken road” crossing games that share the name in search results – it is a 5×5 reels slot with a free spins round that works like a reveal board: boxes open to show sticky symbols, multipliers or extra spins. Its head sheriff later returned in Johnny vs Chicken.
Key facts
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Release | 15 May 2024 |
| Grid | 5×5, 3,125 ways (review sites) |
| RTP | 97% |
| Volatility | Medium-high |
| Max win | 5,000x the bet |
| Hit rate | 1 in 4.4 spins (about 22.73%) |
| Free spins rate | 1 in 123 spins |
BGaming’s details panel shows “Lines 243”, which is the figure for a 5×3 grid; SlotCatalog and PokerListings both describe a 5×5 grid with 3,125 ways, so the panel looks like a template error.
Base game: wilds with multipliers
The sheriff-badge wild appears only in the base game. It replaces every symbol except the bonus coin, and each wild carries a random multiplier of x2, x3, x5 or x10. BGaming doesn’t say how several multiplier wilds in one win combine. The top regular symbol, the purple rooster, pays 3x the bet for five of a kind according to PokerListings, so the multipliers do most of the base-game work.
Free spins: a board of boxes
Three, four or five bonus coins award 5, 7 or 10 free spins, at about one trigger in 123 spins. Then:
- One random symbol is chosen for the round.
- Every position turns into a wooden box.
- On each spin the roosters shoot boxes open. A box can reveal the chosen symbol, which stays sticky until the end, a multiplier, or +1 free spin.
- Collect five multipliers and they are applied to five symbols.
- The payout is calculated at the end from the paytable, using the sticky symbols on the grid.
It works like a hold-and-win round with symbols instead of coins: the more boxes that turn into the chosen symbol, the more ways it completes.
Bronze, Silver and Gold
| Buy | What changes | Price* |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Standard round, any symbol can be chosen | 50x |
| Silver | The sticky symbol is picked only from high-paying symbols | 100x |
| Gold | As Silver, with double the number of multipliers (10 instead of 5, per SlotCatalog) | 300x |
*Prices from SlotCatalog and PokerListings, which agree; BGaming’s page doesn’t list prices. BGaming, SlotCatalog and PokerListings don’t list a Chance x2 option.

Poor fit: players looking for big base-game line wins – regular symbols pay little without the wild multipliers.[/wpremark]
Verdict
This is one of BGaming’s better-balanced slots: a 97% RTP, medium-high volatility, a bonus about once in 123 spins and a reveal mechanic that is easy to follow. The 5,000x cap is moderate, and the box board rewards patience more than luck on a single spin. If the characters appeal, the duel game Johnny vs Chicken is the natural next step.
