MyStake is an online casino that offers a wide variety of games to its players, including video slots from top developers such as Microgaming and NetEnt. Among its collection of slots is the game "MyStake Chicken", which has garnered attention for its unique theme and gameplay mechanics.
Theme
"MyStake Chicken" takes place on a farm where chickens lay golden eggs, a clear nod to the classic fairy tale of chicken Little. The MyStake Chicken background image features a sunny landscape with rolling hills, trees, and a farmhouse in the distance. The reels themselves are surrounded by decorative elements such as wooden fences, flowers, and hay bales.
The game’s theme is lighthearted and family-friendly, making it suitable for players of all ages. However, this does not mean that the gameplay lacks complexity or excitement.
Design
"MyStake Chicken" features a 5×3 grid with five paylines in play at any given time. Each reel is populated with ten symbols, giving the game an average hit frequency and making it easy to trigger wins. The game’s design is simple yet effective, allowing players to quickly understand how to place bets and spin reels.
One notable aspect of "MyStake Chicken" is its use of color. Bright hues such as blue, yellow, green, red, and purple are used extensively throughout the game to create a lively atmosphere. Each symbol is carefully designed to match the farm theme, from eggs and chickens to farm tools and hay bales.
Symbols
The game features four types of symbols: low-paying symbols consisting of standard playing card values (10-A) in white and colored designs; medium-value symbols featuring a rooster, hen, pig, cow, and horse; high-value symbols depicting golden eggs, silver coins, and chicken scratching posts.
When it comes to symbol distribution, the game features an even balance between high-paying and low-paying symbols. However, certain combinations yield higher payouts than others. For example, landing five chickens on a single payline pays 5x more than landing four hens in a row.
Wilds
A key component of "MyStake Chicken" is its wild symbol, which is represented by the golden egg. The egg can substitute for any other symbol to create winning combinations and multiply payouts up to five times when substituting as part of a combination with chicken or rooster symbols.
Payouts
Payouts in "MyStake Chicken" range from 0.5x bet per line for the lowest-paying card values (10-A) to 50x bet per spin on a single golden egg landing on reel one while being part of a combination featuring three chicken scratching posts. The game’s highest-payout combination rewards players with up to $3,000 on an initial stake of just $0.20.
The payout structure is balanced across all combinations, providing consistent returns even for less frequent wins. However, the lack of high-paying symbols means that maximum winnings may be lower than those found in other slots with higher-rank symbol sets.
