How to play Chicken Road: lanes, multipliers and the real odds

Chicken Road turns a bet into a road crossing. Your chicken waits on the pavement; in front of it are lanes of traffic, each with a multiplier on its manhole cover. Every lane the chicken crosses safely raises your multiplier. Cash out and you win your bet times that multiplier — get hit by a car and the bet is lost.

There is no timer and no other players to wait for: each round is yours alone, and after every lane you decide whether to go on or stop.

How a round works

1. 1Enter your bet, or tap one of the quick amounts.
2. 2Choose a difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard or Hardcore.
3. 3Press Play. Your bet is placed and the chicken steps up to the kerb.
4. 4Press GO to hop across the next lane. The button shows the multiplier you are going for.
5. 5After every safe lane, choose: GO again, or Cash out to collect your bet times the current multiplier.
6. 6If the chicken is hit, the round ends and the bet is lost. If it crosses every lane — or reaches the last lane the max win allows — it cashes out by itself.

The four difficulties

• Easy — the most lanes and the smallest risk. The multiplier climbs gently, a few per cent per lane at first.
• Medium — fewer lanes and more traffic. The multiplier passes 2x within the first five lanes.
• Hard — real danger from the first lane; the multiplier passes 2x by the fourth.
• Hardcore — the fewest lanes and the most danger. The first lane alone is a big risk, and the multipliers leap.
• On every difficulty the danger rises lane by lane: the far side of the road is busier than the near side.

Where the multipliers come from

Each lane's multiplier is worked out from the chance of getting that far. Take the return to player and divide it by the chance of reaching the lane — the lower the chance, the higher the multiplier.

So cashing out at any lane, on any difficulty, gives back the same share of what is staked on average over many rounds; the rest is the house edge. Harder difficulties do not pay better on average — they pay more, less often.

The How to play button in the game lists, for each difficulty, every lane's chance of being hit, the chance of getting there and its multiplier, as the game is set right now.

Is there a trick to Chicken Road?

No. Where the chicken would be hit is decided by a fair draw when you press Play, and nothing you do afterwards changes it — not how fast you press GO, not what happened last round. "Predictor" apps and signal groups cannot see it; if one asks for money or your login, it is a scam.

What you control is the size of the bet, the difficulty and when you stop. Decide your cash-out target and your budget before you start, and keep to both.
