A name such as Funky Chicken made us expect a game with a groovy feel to it. Nothing could be further from the truth. NextGen’s Funky Chicken video slot is swinging as a smoking area with three cigarette butts on the ground.

The cartoon-like design is boring, and the sound effects are dull. The design team did not consider background music necessary either. Maybe they feared the game ending up funky… in the wrong way?
Will the bonus features of the game then be compensation enough? No, unfortunately not. The simple bonus features do not excite either.
The Funky Chicken video slot is set on a farm in a cornfield. The game has 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols that are all related to the farm. There is a total of 25 variable paylines, and you can play from $€ 0.01 up to a maximum of $€ 2.50 per payline. This results in a minimum bet of $€ 0.01, and a maximum bet of $€ 62.50, per spin.
Before going into the symbols and the corresponding payouts, let’s look at another disappointing aspect of the Funky Chicken video slot. I’m talking about the poor payout rate of a mere 95.34%. That’s skimpy. The variance of the game is medium.
The angry farmer who hunts the Funky Chicken with his gun is the base game’s high-value symbol. Spinning five identical ones of this high-value symbol will yield you 1,250 coins. That’s a decent reward.
The symbol with the house is good for 500 coins for 5-of-a-kind. The images of the tractor and the egg are the medium-value symbols. 5-of-a-kind on the reels will earn you 250 coins.
Furthermore, low-value symbols consist of the familiar card symbols 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. If you spin five identical low-value symbols, you will get 150 coins.
A cornfield is not complete without a scarecrow. This scarecrow functions as the Wild symbol of the game. The Wild symbol replaces all other symbols of the game except the scatter. Read on to find out whether the scatter might have a funky effect on this game too.
During the bonus game, the (not so) Funky Chicken is finally making its entry. The image of the Funky Chicken is the scatter symbol of the game. Three or more of them activate the bonus game and award you 15 free spins.
Before you can spin the 15 free spins, the Funky Chicken unveils a mystery multiplier with a maximum of 10 x. This multiplier is used during the bonus game and remains active if you manage to retrigger the bonus game.
It doesn’t get any funkier than this in the Funky Chicken video slot. We have to admit, though, thanks to the high multipliers of up to 10 x, you can win more than decent money during the Funky Chicken Bonus Feature. Hooray?
Without a doubt, the developers were lost for inspiration on this project. They might just as well have called this slot Chicken and leave out the Funky part altogether.
The fact that the payout rate is so meagre doesn’t help spark our enthusiasm either. It wouldn’t be a good first impression if this were the first NextGen game you played. Should that be the case, we assure you that NextGen Gaming slots are usually a lot more exciting than this dud.
Just check out Medusa Megaways to get a good grasp of the amazing things this slots provider is capable of.
The Funky Chicken Bonus Feature makes it interesting enough to at least try this slot out. Then again, who knows, maybe lady luck kisses you on the cheeks when you give this simple video slots a try.
However, if you don’t mind, we will dust off James Brown’s Best of Album and listen to it for a while to compensate for the lack of real funk.
