Last Halloween I spent an embarrassing amount of money on a costume. Wig, colored contacts, fake blood that still hasn’t fully come out of my bathroom grout. Then some guy named Kevin rocked up in a bedsheet with two eyeholes cut into it and won the costume contest. Kevin!
I’m still not over it.
So imagine how I felt finding out a bunch of chickens put in more effort than me this year. Capes. Bandages. A proper witch hat. One of them dressed as a pumpkin, which I’m choosing to respect.
They’ve taken over a barn and they’re all starring in the Chicken Halloween slot. Grab your candy bucket and come meet the flock.
Welcome to the Haunted Henhouse
BGaming made this one, and right away you should know it’s not your typical reels-and-paylines setup. No grid. No spinning. It’s a shooting game, so you pick a chicken, hit it, and hope it bursts.
Everything plays out in front of a creepy wooden barn at night, with jack-o’-lanterns stacked on both sides, cobwebs in every corner and a row of tombstones along the bottom of the screen. One nosy chicken watches the whole thing from the attic window. Gotta love a lurker.
So the game runs at 96% RTP with low volatility, and bets go from $0.20 all the way up to $4,500. Top prize? $288,000.
Who’s Wearing What
Every chicken on screen is in costume, and the costume tells you what it’s worth. Ghost chickens in little bedsheets pay 1.1x. Pumpkin chickens pay 1.5x, scarecrows with their tiny lanterns 2x, and the bats flapping around the barn roof are good for 4x.
Then the costumes get fancier. Mummies wrapped head to toe in bandages bring 8x. The vampire, cape and all, hits 16x. The witch zooming past on her broomstick? 32x! And above all of them sits the top bird at 64x.
Tap the one you want and take your shot. If it bursts, that multiplier lands on your bet. Can’t decide? Hit Play and the game picks a random chicken for you.
Clicks, Tips and Lazy Fingers
Now for the extras. Hover over a chicken and a little tip pops up with your chance to win on that bird, plus how many times you’ve clicked it. Clicks stick to that one chicken for that session only, so if it wanders off screen, its clicks wander off with it.
Lazy finger? Click and hold a chicken to switch on fast autoclicks. Autoplay lets you set a number of rounds and add stop conditions, and through the Advanced button you can choose exactly which chicken types get targeted. Only want mummies? Done. Mummies and vampires? Also done.
Trick or Tweet
So there you have it. A whole flock in fancy dress, one spooky barn, and feathers flying all over a pumpkin patch. It’s goofy, it takes about five seconds to figure out, and these birds dressed better than half the people at my office Halloween party last year. Including me.
Swing by BitStarz, find the Chicken Halloween slot and pick your bird. Personally, I’m going after the vampire, mostly because I want that cape for myself. Happy haunting, and mind the pumpkins!
