Get Clucky Pokie
When online casino games developer IGT hatched a plan to create a pokie based on chickens, they must have thought about all the eggstra features that would help players to feather their nest. Like all games from this developer, the Get Clucky pokie from IGT doesn’t resort to fowl play and has a generous return to player ratio, while it can be accessed when out and about at mobile-optimised casinos, or anyone who is cooped up will also be able to play it on a desktop PC.
This 5-reel, 20-payline game has a nice cartoon style to the symbols, which goes well with the whole theme, and has a free range of bet options, from just 0.20 per spin to a high limit of 200.00. Free Get Clucky video pokie rounds can be played at many casinos, so there’s the option to try it out before using real money.
In normal play, wins occur when at least 3 matching symbols come home to roost on a payline, on adjacent reels running from the left side, while bonus symbols will trigger features such as wild multipliers, free spins and scatter payouts. A rustic wooden framework surrounds the reels and behind them is a cartoon farmyard complete with water tower and barn. The whole game has been designed with care and there are some nice animations to go with any winning lines created.
Playing Get Clucky
Clucking, sorry, clicking on the pay table button will let players review the values of each symbol and like many pokies the playing card 9, 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower value winning lines. The 9 only needs to be on reels 1 and 2 to be worth a win of 2x the line bet, while 5 of them right across the reels will be worth 25x. Further up, the A symbol pays 10x the line bet when 3 appear across one, with 125x paid out for 5 of them.
Then the top part of the table is filled with 6 different chickens, from the yellow chick who pays out 10x, 50x or 250x the line bet when landing on 3, 4 or 5 reels at a time, to the happy rooster who is worth 10x when stopping on reels 1 and 2, then 200x, 2000x or the top award of 10000x for also appearing on reels 3, 4 and 5 across a payline.

Bonus Features
This guy is also a wild symbol who will be able to substitute for all except the scatter if he can then complete a winline. If more than 1 wild symbol was able to complete the line, or extend a line across extra reels, the win is doubled in value.
The main feature however, is the Eggspanding Bonus round, which is essentially a free spins game, but with some extra treats laid on throughout them. The games are triggered by the Get Clucky logo that can land in any 3 or more positions, but before the 10 spins begin, players get a scatter prize of 5x the triggering bet when 3 scatters appear, 10x for 4 scatters and if 5 landed at once, the award is 100x the bet. If just 2 scatters are spun up, the free spins won’t be triggered but there’s a consolation prize of 2x the total bet paid out.
During these free games, the wild symbol will double any win that it helps to create, even if just a single example lands, and it will also be an expanding wild, filling any reel that it appears on, which makes it a lot easier to complete winning combinations. Any 3 or more scatter symbols turning up at once during the free spins will trigger an additional 10 spins that will begin once the current round has finished.
The Verdict
This enjoyable online pokie is sure to be a big success, thanks largely to the cartoon style and design of the characters, but also thanks to some pretty good bonus features. The wild multiplier awards are a nice treat that should turn up quite frequently and although the free spins won’t be triggered quite so often, when they are, the eggspanding wilds should be enough to ensure a few wins are seen throughout the 10 games that follow.
These are on top of the real cash scatter awards, so even if no winning lines are found during the bonus games, players won’t have their feathers ruffled, as they will still get a payout of some sort once they trigger the extra features of the Get Clucky video pokie.
