Three hundred and fifty spins at 1.00 left 774.70 of a 1,000.00 balance, and the one Chicken Catch Bonus I drew paid 14x. The Fox5 wild multiplies every Chicken value it collects by five, with each Chicken worth up to 32x, against a published cap of 18,950x the bet.

A Fox Loose in the Henhouse
Creator Lightning Box Games lets a fox free among the hens in Chicken Fox 5x Skillstar, and the zany action unfolds over 5 reels. Each reel shows 3 rows of symbols.
Players can spin Chicken Fox 5x Skillstar by choosing wagers of 25 p/c to $/€325, and examining the numerical model yields an RTP of 95.61%. I played 350 spins at a stake of 1.00 from a starting balance of 1,000.00. The volatility is rather high, as anticipated. In my session the balance never climbed above the 1,000.00 it started at, and it bottomed out at 769.70.
Winning demands hitting identical symbols left to right from the first reel forward. Golden Egg scatters are the exception and pay in any position. This is across 20 fixed paylines. Only 66 of my 350 spins paid anything, and 29 of those returned less than the stake.
Tractors, Goats and the Old Lady With the Pie
I find 10 – A symbols on the bottom end of the paytable. They are trailed by the Tractor, Pig, Goat, and Mixed Chickens, and the Old Lady is priced the highest of all. Of those four, the Tractor pays the most and the Mixed Chickens the least. Lastly, the wild, the Old Lady, is helping haul in wins, and it appears in the base game exclusively. More than one Old Lady wild can land on the same spin.
It stands in for any other symbol except the Golden Egg to form combinations. Three, four or five Golden Eggs pay 2x, 10x or 100x the bet.
Golden Eggs, Fox Wilds and the Chicken Catch Bonus
Chicken Fox 5x Skillstar comes loaded with mechanics. Little is particularly novel, though, and additions include Golden Egg scatters, the Chicken Catch Bonus, Fox and Fox5 wilds, and the Skillstar mini-game.
Hitting at least 3 Golden Egg scatters activates the Chicken Catch Bonus with 8 free spins, and 4 or 5 Golden Eggs grant 15 or 30 free spins rather. Those free spins play on a separate reel set that carries only Chickens, Fox wilds and White Eggs. During free spins, a Fox wild collects every Chicken value in sight. Each Chicken carries a random value of up to 32x the bet. A Fox5 wild collects them with a x5 multiplier. Golden Egg scatters do not appear during free spins, so the round cannot be retriggered by scatters. 1–5 extra free spins are granted should a Fox grab a White Egg, or 5–25 for a Fox5. My only Chicken Catch Bonus came on spin 322 from 4 Golden Eggs, and its 15 free spins paid 14.00, or 14x the stake, with no retrigger.
The last mechanic is the Skillstar mini-game, where players grab eggs for a scoreboard before free spins. The fox holds a basket and has 3 lives to catch falling eggs before they break. It returns nothing and does not alter the bonus result. That 14.00 bonus was also my biggest win of the session and 11% of the 124.70 I won in total.
Where the Chicken Fox Lands
Minty’s Closing Thought: My 350 spins returned 124.70 on 350.00 wagered, a session return of 35.6%, and left the balance at 774.70.
Chicken Fox 5x Skillstar delivers a standard bit of slot play, but where it ends up short is in the novelty stakes. Lightning Box Games also has Stellar Cash Chicken Fox 5x Skillstar, a version of the same chicken-and-fox game, and Pragmatic Play has a chicken-themed slot of its own in Chicken Drop. The likely highlight here is the Fox5 wild and its x5 multiplier on Chicken values.
