BGaming delivers a Wild West showdown in Johnny vs Chicken

Rapidly expanding content provider pairs two studio icons in a deadly Western shootout

BGaming is pitting two of its most iconic characters against one another in its latest #Entertainment title, Johnny vs Chicken. 

The slot sees BGaming’s popular Johnny Cash character from hits like Johnny Cash Train Heist and Johnny Cash Gold Rush draw pistols with the lead sheriff from Chicken Rush. In the desktop game, the two wily gunslingers stand on opposite sides of the reels, firing barbed insults and spinning their revolvers, waiting for chaos to unfold on every spin. 

This comes to a head with the game’s Duel feature, which is triggered when a VS symbol lands on the game’s 5×5 grid along with a win. The symbol will then expand as a whole-reel Wild, and an animated showdown between the two characters will play out, with the winner showing off a multiplier of up to ×100. 

Alongside the game’s colourful character design, Chicken and Johnny Cash are also brought to life with industry-first voiced exchanges between the two characters. These take place across the game grid when the characters react to in-play events. 

This makes the rivalry feel more personal, drawing players in and inviting them to pick a side, creating the potential for longer play sessions and building streamer appeal. 

There are four Buy Bonus options available: Chance ×2, Hot Shot, Flaming Shot, and Inferno Shot. These are variations of Free Spins with feature upgrades that include random Sticky Wilds and a guaranteed first-spin duel, boosting the chances to land big wins. 

This Wild-Western showdown serves up a maximum win of ×5,000, with a generous 97% RTP and a medium-high volatility, reflecting the tension and high stakes between the two characters but still delivering satisfying payouts. 

Julia Alekseeva, CPO at BGaming, said: “Duel slots have proven to be a hit for us in the past, with titles like Clash of Gods Power Duel capturing our audience’s imaginations and driving strong engagement, so we decided to take this one step further with Johnny vs Chicken. We took two of our most beloved and recognizable characters and brought them together in what can only be described as the ultimate BGaming IP showdown. 

We ensured that both characters have their own literal voices and interactions, giving the game a unique feel and helping players become more invested in the action. Of course, the gameplay itself is also very exciting, with the Multiplier Duels and Sticky Wilds in Free Spins front and center.”
