ESA Gaming introduces cutting-edge mechanic in new title Chicken Bonanza

The farm-themed title sees a 6×6 grid filled with a variety of fruit and veg, with a cluster of six or more connecting symbols required to form a win.

Sticky Clusters then come into play, which sees every symbol not part of the winning cluster removed from the reels, giving the cluster a chance to grow even bigger, or a new one to form. If locked symbols form a square of 2×2, a 2x multiplier is applied and if they form a 3×3, then a corresponding 3x multiplier is applied.

When four or more scatter symbols land, 10 free spins are awarded. Once this occurs, a wheel is spun to determine the starting multiplier for the round, of up to 100x. This will apply to every win that occurs during the round, offering huge win potential.

In certain jurisdictions, players can buy two different features, either the 2×2 mega symbol spin to kickstart a cluster, or free spins.

It becomes the latest game to join ESA Gaming’s growing slot offering, following popular titles 12 Deadly Spins and Candy Drops. 

Josefin Uppeke, head of game production at ESA Gaming, said: “Chicken Bonanza sees the introduction of our Sticky Clusters mechanic for the first time, combining two fan-favourite ideas – sticky symbols and cluster pays.

“We wanted to push the boat out to create a really engaging, innovative mechanic with a twist, and can’t wait for players to enjoy our eggs-citing new creation!”
