Chicken Drop

Find out what sort of play Chicken Drop offers

Symbols land on a 7x7 grid, and a win forms when at least four matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically. Each win clears its symbols, and new ones tumble down into the empty spaces, so one spin can chain several wins. The farm theme brings strawberries, blueberries, corn, acorns, mushrooms and two card suit icons. Four, five or six treasure chests anywhere on the grid trigger the free spins.

Each free spin brings at least one egg drop onto the grid, and size and multiplier upgrades stay in place for the whole round instead of resetting each spin. Three or more BONUS symbols during the round add five more spins with no limit on retriggers. Progressive Multiplier, Symbol Transform and Scatter sit alongside Cluster Pays, Tumble and the free spins.

Before the first wager

What happens between spin and payout?

Palmerbet lays out each step before you wager, so the round feels clear from the first spin.

  1. Pick your stake first

    Each round starts with the stake you choose, between A$0.20 and A$240 per spin. Each win on the grid then pays as a multiple of that stake.

  2. When the symbols drop in

    Matching symbols that touch horizontally or vertically form a cluster on the 7x7 grid. Winning symbols vanish and new ones fall into the gaps.

  3. Tumble keeps the grid moving

    The Tumble Feature runs after every win on the 7x7 grid. Symbol Transform, Progressive Multiplier and Scatter are the other features of this slot.

  4. Ten, fifteen or twenty spins

    Four, five or six BONUS chests landing anywhere on the grid trigger the Free Spins round, which awards 10, 15 or 20 spins.

  5. When should I stop playing?

    Each spin on the reels draws from your balance, so set a session limit before the first spin and stop when you reach it.

Two ways to play

Does a free play session pay anything?

Worried that practising will cost money you cannot afford to lose?

On the reels, the demo runs the same grid with no stake and pays nothing, while the real game needs a Palmerbet account and the 18+ age limit.

Play for real

Chicken Drop keeps its biggest multiplier out of reach

Chests drop onto the grid at random, and nothing on screen tells you when the next bonus round will come. How often that happens is not known in advance. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a long run of quiet spins says nothing about the next one.

Each spin of the grid is paid out under one of two RTP versions, and the game rules name which one is live. Which version Palmerbet runs is shown only in those rules, so read them before your first spin. Over a short session the gap between the two will not show in any reliable way.

Clusters grow and tumble until the reels settle, and the top multiplier of Chicken Drop is a ceiling that very few rounds reach. The maximum win is a limit, not a target, so a big session and a small one can both end far from it. Set a budget before the first spin and stick to it.

Budget limits and breaks

You must be 18+ to play. Help in Australia is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can self-exclude through BetStop.

A limit you can afford

Each spin on Chicken Drop draws from your budget, so set a limit you can afford to lose. Stop when it is gone, not when you chase losses.

Where does the session end?

Each win can tempt another spin, so decide your stopping point before you play and keep it after a win as well as a loss.

A plan that holds

When the reels get exciting, a plan holds only if deposit and loss limits are already set in your account.

Time out or self-exclude

If Chicken Drop stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop. Stepping away is a sensible choice at any point.

Common questions

Guessing less, knowing more about Chicken Drop

Useful before your first spin, when you pick a bet and check the free spins.

What is the smallest and largest bet on Chicken Drop?

A spin on Chicken Drop starts at A$0.20 and the highest bet allowed is A$240. Examples on this page use A$0.20, A$0.40 and A$0.50, so you can compare the same stakes across the tables.

How volatile is Chicken Drop, high or low?

Results swing widely from spin to spin on Chicken Drop, because its volatility is high. Wins and losses can come in long runs, and no one can predict when the bonus round will land.

Is there a Chicken Drop demo I can try first?

Every round on the 7x7 grid follows the rules set out on this page, so you can learn them before any money goes in. A first session at the minimum bet of A$0.20 keeps the stake low while you watch how the tumbles work.

What does it cost to buy the Chicken Drop bonus?

Buying Free Spins starts the round instantly at 100 times the current total bet, which is A$50 at the example top bet of A$0.50. The number of chests that land, 4, 5 or 6, is randomised when you buy, and gives 10, 15 or 20 spins.

How much is the maximum win on Chicken Drop?

A winning cluster can pay up to x5,000 the bet, which is the maximum win on Chicken Drop. At the highest bet of A$240 that is A$1,200,000, and at the example top bet of A$0.50 it is A$2,500. The maximum is a ceiling, not a promise.

How do I trigger the free spins on Chicken Drop?

Four, five or six BONUS chests anywhere on the grid start the free spins, giving 10, 15 or 20 spins. During the round, three or more chests add 5 more spins, with no limit on retriggers.
