Rooster - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

We love animal themed slots here at Slots Temple. In fact, we’ve got well over 700 of them, covering just about every type of creature you could possibly imagine. And there’s a surprising number of them that feature chickens and roosters.

Roosters are incredibly important in Chinese culture for a number of reasons. They represent the tenth sign in the Chinese Zodiac, but they’re also held in high regard for their punctuality and reliability. After all, before clocks were invented people around the world relied on the rooster’s call to indicate the start of the day. According to the ancient Chinese, the rooster was even responsible for calling the sun up each day, and it has frequently been admired for its fighting spirit.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Aside from the usual low-value playing card symbols, every symbol on the reels is a rooster or an egg. Even the jade pendant is etched with an illustration of a rooster, so there’s absolutely no doubting this game’s theme. The background is a peaceful Oriental setting showing trees, blossom and mushrooms against a rocky backdrop. The reels themselves are dark, allowing the colourful round symbols to really stand out as they spin into place. The rooster symbols are portrayed according to the elements in the Chinese Zodiac, so we have wood, fire, metal, earth and gold roosters appearing on the reels.

A gentle and relaxing melody plays out as you spin the reels, which chimes well with the Oriental theme. But we found the game sounds particularly intrusive and annoying, so we were pleased to find that these could be individually muted from the game’s settings menu.

Rooster RTP & Volatility

Rooster has a slightly above-average RTP of 96.66%, which suggests that there are some good returns to be made as you spin the reels. But approach this game with caution - it’s highly volatile, so your gaming budget may not take you too far in the game unless it’s extremely robust. Luckily you can play this and similar games such as The Great Chicken Escape right here, so you can explore this genre as much as you like, completely risk free.

How to Play Rooster

1 Rather than buying paylines, you buy reels in this game. Wins are achieved throughout paid-for reels, but only the central row is active on non-paid for reels. So start by deciding how much you’re prepared to wager on each spin. Use the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons to the left of your player control panel to adjust the value of your stake.

2 When you’re ready to start your game, just tap on the central Spin button, which will play out one game at your chosen stake.

3 For multiple hands-free spinning, you can opt to use the Autoplay function. Set it to your preferred number of spins, or request infinite spins if you prefer. You can stop the feature at any time by tapping on the button again.

4 The menu button at the top right of the screen gives access to additional game controls. You can mute the game’s music, or game sounds, or both if you wish. And you can select Turbo mode for faster gameplay.

5 The menu also leads you to the game’s rules and paytable, as well as providing a run down on the Ways to Win game mechanic.

Rooster Bonus Features & Free Spins

The game’s wild symbol is a nest filled with eggs. It only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 so it can’t award any cash prizes. But it can stand in for all other game symbols, expect for scatters, so it can help to amass cash prizes.

The single egg is the game’s scatter symbol. Land three or more to activate the game’s free spins bonus round, then pick your rooster to claim your bonus award.

Purple rooster = 5 free spins with 10x, 15x or 30x multipliers
Sepia rooster = 8 free spins with 8x, 10x or 15x multipliers
Blue rooster = 10 free spins with 5x, 8x or 10x multipliers
Green rooster = 15 free spins with 3x, 5x or 8x multipliers
Gold rooster = 20 free spins with 2x, 3x or 5x multipliers

Throughout the free spins, landing jade pendants on reels 1 and 5 simultaneously awards a prize worth up to 50x your stake. And there’s also an optional Gamble card game in which you could double your wins or lose them altogether.
