Chicky Run

First impressions

Chicky Run is PG SOFT’s March 2024 entry into the growing arcade-crash niche. Instead of spinning reels, you guide a fearless chicken across a two-lane road and hope no car shows up in the chosen lane. A successful dodge boosts a win ladder that tops out at just over 30× stake, while a wrong pick wipes the round clean. The concept is simple, colourful and clearly aimed at casual sessions rather than jackpot hunters.

Visuals & atmosphere

The action unfolds on a sun-drenched city street with Rio-style architecture and the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue looming in the distance. Cartoon art, slap-stick collision animations and EDM-flavoured background music give the game a lighthearted mobile-arcade vibe. Everything is optimised for portrait play, with chunky buttons placed centrally for thumb control.

How the game works

• Choose a stake within the limits offered by your casino (the paytable has no fixed min/max, so check the on-site version).
• Tap Left, Right or Random before the timer expires. If no decision is made, the RNG picks randomly.
• A car then drives down one of the lanes. If the lane is clear, you move up one step on the Win Multiplier track; if not, the round ends and any uncollected winnings disappear.
• After every successful dodge you may Cash Out or risk another pick.

Win Multiplier ladder

According to the in-game rules the prize progression looks like this:

The x30.72 ceiling is modest compared with mainstream crash titles but is realistically reachable within a few rounds thanks to the low-volatility maths model.

Extra Coins Chance

An optional toggle increases the base stake by 50%. When it is active, any winning round can randomly award 1–3 golden coins, each worth half of the original bet. These coins are banked instantly and are not lost even if the main streak later fails, adding a small side-pot element for players who enjoy incremental value.

RTP, volatility & bankroll feel

PG SOFT lists a theoretical return of 96 % and classifies the game as Low volatility. In practice that means:

• Frequent low-level payouts, often 1.92× or 3.84×.
• Short loss streaks are common, so consider a session budget that allows dozens of attempts.
• The capped top prize keeps risk controlled, making Chicky Run a suitable filler between higher-variance slots.

If your casino offers more than one RTP setting, the exact value will be shown in the paytable—always double-check before staking real money.

Mobile performance

Built in HTML5/JS, Chicky Run loads quickly and plays smoothly on iOS, Android and desktop browsers. Swipe gestures are unnecessary; all core actions sit under the thumbs, which works well for one-hand portrait play.

Verdict

Chicky Run is a light, low-risk diversion that combines crash-game suspense with coin-pusher aesthetics. The limited 30.72× ceiling will deter high-rollers, but newcomers and casual players may appreciate the clear rules, forgiving volatility and animated charm. As always, treat the 96 % RTP as a long-term statistic and play responsibly—this is entertainment for adults 18 + only.
