Wild Jupiters stretch down whole reels here, and in the free spins each one bumps the premium symbols a rung up the ladder toward the Vulture. Four rounds of 12 spins in 480 at a 7.00 stake paid 1,274.00, which was 43% of the session's winnings, while the chicken-shooting side bet stayed switched…
Aura of Jupiter Crazy Chicken Shooter is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot by Gamomat with 10 paylines, and it takes stakes from 0.10 to 12.00. The session behind this review ran 480 spins at a stake of 7.00, starting from a balance of 4,993.00. It features a conventional free spins round, in the sense that one activates a bonus by hitting scatter symbols to be granted a fixed number of free spins. The scatter symbol is Jupiter's Throne. It also contains the Crazy Chicken Shooter feature. It is the same Crazy Chicken Shooter side game that Cutie Cat Crazy Chicken Shooter carries. That feature will be described in depth below. Duck Shooter is another shooting-themed Gamomat title.
The 4 low value symbols are depicted by J, Q, K and A, while the 6 premium symbols are depicted by olive wreaths, olive branches, ancient amphoras, helmets, shields and swords, and vultures. A base-game line win on the Q symbol can come to six times the stake.
The one with the most value is the vulture. Five of a kind on a payline pays between 10x and 50x the bet, depending on the symbol. There is additionally a Jupiter Wild symbol. It substitutes for other symbols, and it expands to cover its reel in the base game as well as in the free spins.
Hitting 3 or more scatters on a base game spin triggers the free spins, and the Jupiter Wild expands to cover the entire reel whenever it lands. Three, four or five scatters also pay 2x to 50x the bet on the triggering spin. The player is then granted 12 free spins. The round triggered four times in 480 spins, on spins 180, 192, 418 and 431. Each Jupiter Wild that lands upgrades the premium symbols to the next higher symbol. The longest gap between triggers was 226 spins, from spin 192 to spin 418.
The upgrades remain for the remainder of the feature if the player contrives to hit Jupiter Wilds during the free spins, and they proceed until only the royals and the Vulture stay. None of the four rounds in the session added extra spins.
As long as Jupiter Wilds land, the free spins feature grants additional free spins, and 1, 2 or 3 Jupiter Wilds grant 1, 3 or 12 additional free spins. The four rounds paid 43x, 22x, 74x and 43x the stake, 1,274.00 in all, which was 43% of everything the session won.
The player can enable the Crazy Chicken Shooter with an optional side bet in three tiers, and there are three locks on the chicken coop. The tiers are +50%, +100%, +200% of the bet. At the top stake of 12.00, the Level 3 side bet raises the cost of a spin to 36.00.
The feature activates randomly on any spin, base game or free spins, when the side bet is enabled. The session was played without the side bet, and the shooter feature never triggered.
When the three locks on the chicken coop are opened, the feature starts. Three reels spin to collect bullets, and X symbols supply up to 9 bullets on Levels 2 and 3. The number of bullets on offer rises with the level.
The bullets are then utilised to blast chickens for wins or jackpots. The max win, on Level 3, is 1,666x the entire stake. The stake in that figure includes the side bet.
Aura of Jupiter Crazy Chicken Shooter is a touch perplexing at first. It needs some time to grasp what's unfolding with the features, and the base game is plain. The base game still produced the session's second and third biggest wins without a bonus, 64x the stake on spin 13 and 44x on spin 285. Instead players are reliant on the features, most crucially the free spins round activated by hitting scatter symbols, in hope to obtain some upgraded symbols. Only 89 of the 480 spins paid anything, 37 of them less than the stake, and the longest run without a win lasted 21 spins.
Minty’s Final Note: Over the 480 spins, 3,360.00 was wagered and 2,940.00 came back, a session return of 87.5%.
