Chicken Drop is a Pragmatic Play video slot on a 7x7 grid, where clusters pay, symbols tumble and chests unlock free spins. Figures, rounds and paytable follow.

Symbols land on a 7x7 grid with a farm theme. Wins form as clusters: at least four matching symbols must connect horizontally or vertically, which is the fewest that pay. Every win is followed by the Tumble Feature. The symbols are strawberries, blueberries, corn, acorns, mushrooms, two card-suit icons and a treasure chest, and the chest is the bonus symbol.
Four, five or six chests anywhere on the grid start Free Spins: 10, 15 or 20 spins. Three or more chests during a round add five more spins, with no limit on retriggers. Size and multiplier upgrades stay for the whole round, and every free spin has at least one egg drop. Scatter, Symbol Transform and Progressive Multiplier also appear.
The buy instantly starts the free spins round for 100 times the total bet, so at A$10 it costs A$1,000.
| Paid round | Cost | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Free Spins | x100 · A$1,000 | – |
Across the grid, every A$100 you stake returns, on average over a very long run, the amount in the table below. The version this lobby runs is listed in the game rules.

When the chest lands
After this, you will know how each bonus round starts, runs and pays out.
Four, five or six BONUS chests anywhere on the grid start it with 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins. Size and multiplier upgrades persist all round. Three or more BONUS symbols during the round add 5 spins, with no limit. Every free spin guarantees at least one egg drop.
Base gameExtra spins
Buy Free Spins starts the round instantly for 100x the current total bet. The number of BONUS symbols that land, 4, 5 or 6, is randomized at the moment of purchase, giving 10, 15 or 20 spins.
Before any spinInstant free spins
Every spin lands on the fixed 7x7 grid. Matching symbols that touch horizontally or vertically form a cluster, and a cluster pays. After each win, the Tumble Feature removes the winning symbols and new ones fall in to fill the grid.

Sitting down to play
Settles how a single round runs, from the bet you pick to the payout and the session limit.
The 7x7 grid stays still until you choose a bet between A$0.20 and A$240. Every payout scales with that bet, so a bigger bet lifts every win.
Matching symbols that touch horizontally or vertically form a cluster once they reach the minimum size. Each win then clears those symbols and new ones tumble into the grid.
Winning symbols leave the grid after every win, the Tumble Feature refills the gaps, and one spin can pay several times in a row.
Four, five or six chest symbols anywhere on the grid start Free Spins with 10, 15 or 20 spins. Three or more during the round add five spins each time.
The reels keep turning only while your balance lasts. Set your budget before the first spin and stop once it is gone, whatever the last round showed.
Chicken Drop payouts

On the 7x7 grid, each spin can bring BONUS chests anywhere, or none at all. How often that happens is not known in advance, and it cannot be worked out from the paytable. Two sessions with identical settings can end in very different places, because every spin is random. The RTP describes the long-run average across many players, not what one session will return.
Every spin lands symbols on the 7x7 grid, and the grid itself never shows which RTP version is running. Hunnyplay lists that detail in the game rules, so read them before comparing your results with another session. The versions differ in long-run return, which is a statement about many spins, not one.
Long free spins rounds, with retriggers and upgrades that stay in place, can carry a session toward the top prize. The maximum win is a ceiling that is reached very rarely. Hitting it depends on luck in every spin, so it is not a target to plan around.
Play with clearer facts
Most players worry whether the bonus can be bought and what the return really means.
Yes, Chicken Drop offers Buy Free Spins. It costs 100 times the current total bet, which is A$1,000 at the A$10 top bet. The round starts at once, and the BONUS symbol count is drawn at purchase, giving 10, 15 or 20 spins.
Chicken Drop comes in two RTP versions, and the RTP table shows each one in money. RTP is the theoretical return across a very large number of rounds, so one session can end well above or below it.
Chicken Drop has high volatility, so results come in uneven swings rather than steady small wins. Small results can run for long stretches before a large one lands, so set your budget with that in mind.
Chicken Drop starts at a minimum bet of A$0.20, the cheapest way to see how a round runs. The paytable uses A$2 as its reference, so compare the paytable values with that bet before you raise your stake.
Chicken Drop alternatives
Useful once the spin is done and you want another game to try.
You must be 18 or older to play. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you will spend on Chicken Drop before the first spin, and keep that amount separate from money you need for bills.
Pick your stopping point before you start, and keep to it even after a big win, since a large result can tempt you to play on.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you open a session, so the amount you can lose is capped before the reels start.
If the reels stop feeling fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop, and do not chase losses back into the game.
