Chicken Fire Slot Review — BGaming & LudexPlay

This review is based on pre-release promotional material provided by BGaming and LudexPlay. Details may change before or at launch on 22nd July 2026. Please note this title has limited availability.

Coins on the sides, Collect symbols in the middle — the Hold and Win round is never far away!

BGaming teams up with LudexPlay for Chicken Fire, a 3x3 five-payline classic slot built mobile-first — a deliberate new direction for BGaming — with a vertical layout that keeps the centre reel permanently in focus. The design is deliberately compact: fruit symbols fill a tight grid, Coins land on the outer reels, and a fixed Collect symbol sits in the middle of reel 2 during the bonus, creating a clear visual hierarchy that makes the Hold & Win structure immediately readable on any screen. Wild chickens leave multipliers behind when they move, four jackpot tiers sit at the top of the grid, and three bonus buy options plus a Chance x2 feature keep the bonus within reach at multiple price points. At medium-high volatility, a 5,000x max multiplier, and an RTP of 95.90%, Chicken Fire is a compact, focused release that knows exactly what it is.

Core Gameplay

Chicken Fire runs on a 3x3 five-payline grid designed from the ground up for mobile in a vertical orientation — a meaningful layout decision that keeps the centre reel naturally prominent on a phone screen rather than requiring the player to consciously focus on it. Fruit symbols occupy the standard symbol set, Coin symbols land specifically on the side reels, and Wild chickens can land across the grid and substitute for paying symbols. The Wild chicken's distinguishing trait is what it leaves behind: when it moves or resolves, it deposits a multiplier in its former position, adding a value layer on top of its standard wild substitution function. The Collect symbol in the bonus sits fixed at the centre of reel 2 rather than landing randomly, giving the Hold & Win structure a predictable anchor point that makes the grid immediately legible.

Bonus Features

The Hold & Win bonus is built around the side-reel Coin structure, with the fixed Collect symbol on reel 2 gathering Coin values as they land and extend the round through standard respin mechanics. Four jackpot tiers sit at the top of the grid as persistent targets accessible during the bonus. Full detail on jackpot values, the number of initial lives, retrigger conditions, and how the Wild chicken multipliers interact with the Hold & Win accumulation will be confirmed at launch.

Feature Access & Buy Options

Three Bonus Buy options are available at different price points, alongside a Chance x2 feature that raises the stake slightly in exchange for an improved bonus trigger rate — consistent with BGaming's approach on other titles in the casual and classic slot space. Specific buy prices will be confirmed at launch.

Next Steps for This Review

At launch the review will be updated with confirmed bonus buy pricing, the full jackpot tier values, how the Wild chicken multiplier deposits interact with Hold & Win coin accumulation, and how the mobile-first vertical layout feels in practice across both desktop and mobile sessions. A final score and full gameplay analysis will follow once hands-on time with the game is available.
