Lucky Clucks 2 Rooster Respins: Slot Overview

Games Global partner Crazy Tooth Studio doesn’t typically go in for sequels. It has produced lookalikes before, but proper follow-ups are rarer. That changes with Lucky Clucks 2 Rooster Respins, which arrives as the next chapter to what is arguably one of the most successful titles in the Crazy Tooth Studio catalogue so far. Lucky Clucks delivered a zany barnyard blowout full of BIG BuildUps, Raise the Roof Bonuses, and, of course, chickens. They return here (mostly), joined by a fresh rooster character and a respins feature with a new name.

In the original Lucky Clucks, you could spot, far off in the background, another farm structure beside a huge granary building (or something similar). For Lucky Clucks 2 Rooster Respins, the perspective seems flipped: the reels now sit inside a barn next to that granary-like building, while what looks like the previous game’s barnyard is pushed out to the horizon. Maybe it’s the neighbour’s land. Either way, despite the shifted viewpoint, Lucky Clucks 2 Rooster Respins is still stuffed with oddball animals, a wild cartoon vibe, and plenty of signature Crazy Tooth weirdness.

In Lucky Clucks 2 Rooster Respins, symbols land in a 3-4-4-4-3 alignment across the game’s 5-reel grid. It runs on a ways-to-win system rather than paylines, offering 576 ways. On top of that, wins don’t need to begin on the leftmost reel thanks to the Any Adjacent Pays mechanic. Instead, matching symbols pay when they appear on at least 3 adjacent reels anywhere on the grid. This setup ties into a hit rate of 28.69% on the 96.16% RTP model (lower models are available), and the volatility is medium. Bets range from 15 c to $/€45 per spin for anyone looking to stir up the coop.

Wooden, hammered J-A card ranks lead the low-value symbols, paying roughly 0.47x the bet for 5 OAK. Next come the purple, blue, and orange horseshoes, worth about 0.53x for 5. After that are pigs, goats, sheep, and cows, which award approximately 0.73x the bet for 5 matching symbols. The star symbol acts as Lucky Clucks 2’s wild, substituting for all paying symbols when working out wins.

Lucky Clucks 2 Rooster Respins: Slot Features

Now for the part that may leave you impressed, puzzled, or a bit of both: Lucky Clucks 2’s feature set, which includes The BIG BuildUp and Rooster Respins.

BIG BuildUp

The BIG BuildUp feature can trigger randomly on any spin. While it’s active, 1 or more chickens may lay eggs, uncovering prizes such as the Mother Hen Prize, wild symbols, or 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x multipliers. Whenever a Corn symbol lands (on the middle reel only), it increases the Mother Hen Prize. Each wild that’s awarded also adds an extra symbol position to its reel.

During this feature, the rooster (on reels 1, 2, 4, or 5) can make the game respin the reels 1 or more times. Across respins, any wild symbols placed by chickens persist, and the reels keep the increased number of symbol positions. If multipliers are awarded with the Mother Hen Prize, they apply to the Mother Hen Prize only. If multipliers are awarded without the Mother Hen Prize, they multiply all ways wins during the feature. The BIG BuildUp finishes once all feature prizes have been revealed and all respins are done.

Rooster Respins Bonus

Landing 3 scatter symbols activates the Rooster Respins bonus. On each bonus spin, 1 or more chickens may land to award wild symbols. Every wild that appears adds a symbol position to its reel for the bonus duration. Wilds remain in play, moving down 1 position each spin until they drop off the grid. The bonus can be retriggered – when a sun symbol lands during a bonus spin (on reels 1, 2, 4, or 5), way wins are calculated, and the reels spin again without the wild symbols moving down a position.

Lucky Clucks 2 Rooster Respins: Slot Verdict

When the first Lucky Clucks slot was reviewed, it didn’t leave a particularly positive impression, and the idea of it becoming a notable hit seemed a bit unlikely. Still, Lucky Clucks clearly attracted a large enough audience to justify a follow-up, resulting in Lucky Clucks 2 Rooster Respins. Once again, Lucky Clucks 2 didn’t exactly win many points here either, yet there are evidently players out there rummaging around the digital barnyard, happy to go back for another round of cluck-filled action.

It’s difficult to frame Lucky Clucks 2 Rooster Respins as a big transformative leap over the original. A lot of the features and overall play feel extremely close to what came before, which will be a plus or minus depending on taste. The first game’s free spins round has been removed and swapped for the Rooster Respins bonus, which is essentially the same idea under a different label—more of a sideways move than a bold step ahead. One is described as respins, the other as free spins-based. They’re broadly similar, though Rooster Respins does get an extra push from the Sun symbol, so there’s that.

The max win has been increased as well, and the 4,856.67x the bet ceiling is more than double what the first game offered. Beyond that bigger win cap, however, Lucky Clucks 2 Rooster Respins largely feels like more of the same. It’s every bit as chaotically wacky and just as eccentric, so fans of the original may not feel completely short-changed, though some might have been hoping for a stronger sense of progression.
