Chicken Shot: the odd one out in the Ezz catalogue

Updated: September 2026

Lobby software is not fussy about taxonomy, so this title sits on the same shelf as the reel machines and inherits their expectations. It should not. Open Chicken Shot and there is no grid to read, no line count to adjust, no scatter tally building toward a bonus — just moving targets, a shot counter and a decision about when to stop. The distinction is not pedantry. It changes what a session looks like, and it changes what the title is worth inside a promotion.

What a round consists of

BGaming shipped the game on 26 May 2026 and classifies it as an instant format. Birds cross the screen; each connecting shot adds value to the round in progress, and larger birds cost more shots while paying more. Every second therefore contains the same question: bank what is already earned, or commit further ammunition to a slower target.

Two control modes are offered — manual firing on each tap, and a sequenced automatic mode — with unattended repetition available on top. Two readouts deserve attention more than any of that. The shot counter shows what the round is actually consuming, and a per-target chance readout tells the player the odds before the commitment is made. Formats of this kind rarely disclose that second figure at all, and its presence is the strongest argument for the game.

Read the tiers as a distribution

The ladder runs from 1.1x to 64x, and the interesting part is not the values but how often each one arrives. BGaming publishes probabilities for every step, and the two ends tell the story: the smallest result occurs 88.18% of the time, while the top rung is reached in 1.52% of attempts. Nearly every round, in other words, returns something barely above what it cost, and the headline multiplier is a rare event rather than a plan.

That distribution is what supports the low volatility rating and the 97.00% return the studio quotes. The cap is worth one line of arithmetic too: a 64x ceiling and a €256,000 payout limit only meet at a stake of €4,000, which no ordinary account will be placing. For everyone else the cap is theoretical and the multiplier is the real ceiling. And the usual caveat holds — the percentage is a manufacturer's figure for the reference build, and the binding value is in the information panel of the game open in your account.

Stakes, pace and budget

The stake range is absent from the studio sheet, so the rules panel is the only source. Pace matters more than size here: a round lasts seconds, and a balance drains far faster than it would on a reel machine at the same stake. The protection that works is not a limit per shot but a number of rounds decided in advance. On the account side the terms are unchanged — euro currency, €10 minimum deposit, €20 minimum withdrawal, rails and timings under payments, and deposit or session caps under responsible gambling.

Demo play and the wagering trap

Play credits suit this format unusually well, because the skill being learned is when to stop, and that can be rehearsed at no cost. What a demo cannot do is predict the next real round.

The expensive part is elsewhere. Because this is not a reel machine, it rarely occupies the 100% row of a contribution table, and several campaigns bar instant formats altogether. Reading the weighting table of the active promotion is not optional before opening it with bonus funds; the method is under wagering requirements. Worth remembering, as the homepage sets out: Ezz is not in the SRIJ register, so a bonus voided over a miscounted game has no Portuguese authority to arbitrate it. Personal limits are under limits and self-exclusion.
