On the reels, symbols land on a fixed 7x7 grid, and a win forms when at least four matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically. The theme is a farm, and the regular symbols are fruit, corn, acorns, mushrooms and card-suit icons. After each win, the winning symbols clear and new ones tumble into the gaps. This can chain into more wins on the same spin.
Four, five or six BONUS chests anywhere on the grid start the free spins round with 10, 15 or 20 spins. Size and multiplier upgrades stay for the round, and at least one egg drop is guaranteed on every free spin. Three or more chests during the round add five spins, with no limit on retriggers. Progressive Multiplier and Symbol Transform are also features.

Five steps per round
Casino Rocket lays out each round in the order the reels run it.
The reels wait for your bet, which runs from A$0.20 up to A$240. That amount sets the stake for each spin, and every payout scales with it.
Symbols touching horizontally or vertically form a cluster, and a matching cluster pays. After each win, the Tumble Feature removes the winning symbols and drops new ones in.
The Tumble repeats after every win, so one cluster can set off the next. Progressive Multiplier and Symbol Transform are listed among the features.
Four, five or six BONUS chests anywhere on the grid start Free Spins of 10, 15 or 20. Three or more chests during the round add 5 spins each time.
The reels keep turning only while your balance covers the next bet, so set your limit before the first spin.

When the chests land
Read this before a session when you want to know how the chests start extra rounds.
Four, five or six BONUS chests land anywhere on the grid and start the round with 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins. Three or more chests during the round add 5 spins each time, with no cap. Size and multiplier upgrades carry over for the whole round.
Base gameFree Spins round
The Free Spins round starts at once for 100x the current total bet. The chest count, 4, 5 or 6, is randomised at purchase and gives 10, 15 or 20 spins.
Base gameInstant Free Spins
The 7x7 grid pays clusters of five or more matching symbols joined horizontally or vertically. Each win triggers the Tumble Feature. The grid stays fixed at 7x7 for every spin in this mode.
Opening the gameClusters and tumbles
The reels land a new mix on every spin, and no spin shows when the chest symbols will gather for the bonus round. How often that round arrives cannot be known in advance, and this page does not estimate it. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a short session can finish well above or below its starting balance.
Each spin on the reels runs under one of the two RTP versions of Chicken Drop. Which version runs in this lobby is shown only in the game rules, so read them before the first bet. The table below sets both versions side by side with their return in money.
The reels can land a payout that is many times the stake, but the maximum win of Chicken Drop is a ceiling reached very rarely. The ceiling is a multiple of the bet, so the sum it means grows with every bet step. Below, the table shows the ceiling at the example bets.
Before the first reel
Answers on the maximum win, demo, bonus buy, volatility, RTP and bet limits before you commit money.
Connected symbols on the 7x7 grid pay, and the top prize is x5,000 the bet. At A$5 that means A$25,000, and at the highest allowed bet of A$240 it reaches A$1,200,000. Upgrades to size and multiplier persist through the whole free spins round.
The paytable shows what each symbol pays at A$0.40, the example bet on this page. The Free Spins and Buy Free Spins rules are set out above, so read them before the first stake. Nobody can know in advance how a round will go.
Buy Free Spins starts the free spins round at once, for 100 times the current total bet. At A$5 that costs A$500. The number of BONUS chest symbols that land, 4, 5 or 6, is randomised at the moment of purchase, so the round gives 10, 15 or 20 spins.
Chicken Drop is a high volatility video slot on a 7x7 grid. High volatility means prizes vary widely in size from one spin to the next. No one can predict when a bonus will land or how a session will end.
Chicken Drop comes in two RTP versions, 96.50% and 96.53%. The table on this page gives the return of each per A$100 staked. RTP is a long-run average over a very large number of rounds, so it says nothing about the result of one session.
The lowest bet is A$0.20 and the highest bet allowed here is A$240. The example bets on this page, A$0.40 and A$5, show the arithmetic, but they are not the limits of the game. Pick a stake that fits your budget and check the bet before each spin.
Chicken Drop is for players aged 18+. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop to self-exclude.
Decide how much you can afford to lose on Chicken Drop before the first spin, and stop when that sum is gone.
Choose your stopping point before the first spin, and keep to it after a big win as well as after losses.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you play, so the cap applies to every session without a fresh decision.
If the game stops being fun, take a break from the lobby or self-exclude through BetStop. Chasing a loss is the sign to stop, not to bet more.
