Reel Information
Golden Hen is a typical online slot game featuring 5 reels, but there are 243 paylines on offer. The paylines are fixed, which means you have to play all of them with every spin – but that means even more chances of winning. Now, the design of the game has had a lot of thought and effort ploughed into it as it’s based on a farm. The reels have been fenced into a corn field that is waiting to be harvested, the skies are blue and the fields are green – a typical farming scene.
All of the symbols of the game are placed on the royal blue reels and they include golden hen, standard hen, feathery dream-catcher, hen at dawn, farmhouse, chicken, chick, egg and card values of 9, 10, J, Q, K and A.
Clucking Good Wins
The amount you can win is the same no matter what bets you place, but the more you bet – the more the multiplier values will return. Bets can be placed from 0.25 up to a maximum of 250.00 a spin and there are 2,000 coins on offer if you can match five of the hen at dawn symbols on the reels. The second highest paying symbol is the farmhouse which offers 1,000 coins.
Features to Expect
You won’t find too many features on offer with the Golden Hen slot game, but what you will find are plenty of wilds, scatters and free spins. How you trigger each of these features are as follows:
- Wild: the standard hen is the wild and appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. The wild has the power to turn himself into any other symbol on the reels (except scatter) to help boost your bankroll by completing winning paylines.
- Scatter: the feathery dream-catcher is your scatter and makes an appearance on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. Fifty coins will be added when you spin in three on your reels.
- Free spins: 10 free spins are awarded when three of the scatter and/or wild symbols fall on the reels. During your free spins, the golden hen will come into play and boost your chances of winning. Scatter symbols become wild during free spins and any five of a kind win will be multiplied by 5.
What We Think
NextGen Gaming’s Golden Hen slot machine may lack in features, especially with it not having a bonus round – but the free spins feature is what really makes the difference.
By triggering the free spins in this medium variance slot game, you will have even more chances to win, thanks to the two sets of wilds on the reels and then if you are lucky enough to hit a 5 of a kind payline, it will be multiplied by five.
The design of the slot game is almost cartoon-like and looks something like a retro Warner Bros animation – we were half expecting the chicken to jump out and run across the screen. When the wins fall, the symbols come alive and almost leap from reels. The Golden Hen slot machine has a return to player (RTP) percentage of 97.22%.
