1. Do not stake more because a bonus exists
A Bonus Run is a feature of the round, not a reason to raise your stake. Keep your usual unit size and your session budget.

Chicken Road Bonus strategies
5 approaches for Chicken Road Bonus: 97% RTP, low, medium, high volatility, $20,000 max win.
2. Set cash-out rules before the jump
A Bonus Run puts you near large multipliers quickly. Decide in advance where you will take the win, since the figure on screen is when judgement slips.
3. A bonus is part of the stated RTP
Because the 97% figure already includes the Bonus Run, the feature does not improve your expected return. It changes how results are distributed.
4. Compare the RTP with other versions
This edition lists 97%, between the original's 98% and the 95.5% of the 2.0 line. A higher number means a lower long-run cost, though results in a short session can be far from it.
5. Confirm how the bonus is triggered
The provider's pages describe the Bonus Run, but the trigger details can differ by operator. Read the in-game rules rather than assuming.
