1. Low-value Symbols : These include card numbers (A-9), depicted in various styles with tropical backgrounds.
2. High-value Symbols : More elaborate symbols come into play for higher payouts: a frog wearing shades and sunglasses, an exotic butterfly surrounded by hibiscus flowers, a tropical fish leaping out of the water, a vibrant toucan perched on a branch, and finally, the Chicken itself serving as both a wild symbol.
3. Scatter Symbol : A bright blue parrot with yellow feathers stands for the Scatter symbol.

• Low-value symbols (A-9): Pay between x5 and x10 per spin, depending on the bet.
• High-value symbols: Frog – 20x, Butterfly – 15x, Fish – 12x, Toucan – 30x for five-of-a-kind.
• Chicken Wild symbol: Can substitute for any other symbol in winning combinations.

Wilds As mentioned earlier, the Chicken is a wild symbol. This means it can replace all non-scatter symbols to create more wins or improve existing ones.
