BGaming’s Chicken Halloween: the ×64 shooting game explained with peso examples

Author — bingo plus

Short answer — BGaming released Chicken Halloween on 14 October 2026. It is a Halloween version of its May 2026 casual game Chicken Shot: you pick a costumed chicken, shoot until it bursts, and win that bird’s multiplier. There are eight multipliers, from ×1.1 to ×64. The official game page lists 97.00% RTP, low volatility, a hit rate of 66.2 and a maximum win of EUR 256,000. Each target shows a “Chance To Win” for the first shot before you fire. This is not a slot, and the figures that matter most are the ones the game shows you on screen.

Below we explain how the shooting mechanic works, compare the Halloween edition with the original, and work out what 97% RTP and the eight multipliers mean in pesos. All derived numbers are labelled as our calculation.

What did BGaming announce?

The BGaming news release dated 14 October 2026 describes Chicken Halloween as “a seasonal #Casual release that gives the familiar Chicken Shot formula a spooky makeover”. It lists tap-to-shoot gameplay, eight multipliers from ×1.1 to ×64, “transparent Chance To Win statistics” and customisable Autoplay. The setting is a farm under a purple sky, with chickens dressed as vampires and mummies and a giant stitched chicken that carries the ×64 prize.

BGaming game producer Vasili Pauliuchenko is quoted saying the game “felt like a great opportunity to give a successful familiar game a seasonal makeover”. The official Chicken Halloween game page supplies the numbers: Game Type Casual, Volatility Low, RTP 97.00%, Hit Rate 66.2, Max multiplier ×64, Max Win EUR 256,000 and Release Date 14 October 2026. We read both pages on 22 October 2026.

How does the shooting mechanic work?

According to the release and game page, the rules are simple:

1. Set your bet and choose a chicken. Each bird displays its multiplier.
2. Hover over a bird to see its Chance To Win, which the page defines as “the likelihood of you taking the chicken down on your first shot”.
3. Shoot until the chicken goes down and releases its coins. Bigger chickens “take more shots but carry the highest multipliers”.
4. A Click Counter tracks the number of shots at each target, and progress is saved even if you switch birds mid-round.

There are two modes. In Manual mode you choose the target; with the Spin button the game picks a random chicken for each shot. Autoplay lets you choose which birds are in play, the number of rounds and the stop conditions.

The page does not explain in plain words whether each shot costs a separate bet, or how the chance changes on the second and later shots at the same bird. That detail decides what a round really costs, so read the in-game rules or try the free demo before staking real money.

Chicken Halloween versus the original Chicken Shot

Both games are listed on BGaming’s site. The table compares what each official page prints.

On the printed figures, the two games are mathematically identical; the Halloween edition changes the art, characters and presentation. The only extra number is the hit rate of 66.2 on the new page. BGaming does not define it there, so we read it cautiously: if it is a percentage of rounds that return a win, roughly two in three rounds would pay something, which fits a low-volatility game whose smallest multiplier is ×1.1.

What do the multipliers and 97% RTP mean in pesos?

Start with the long-run cost. By our calculation, 97.00% RTP leaves 3% for the house: ₱300 per ₱10,000 wagered. That is cheaper than many slots; for comparison, a 96.50% slot costs ₱350 per ₱10,000. But low cost per bet does not stop a fast tap-to-shoot game from piling up turnover. One hundred shots at ₱20 is ₱2,000 of bets and an expected cost of about ₱60.

What each chicken pays on a ₱100 bet (our calculation)

×1.1 returns ₱110 (a ₱10 profit), ×1.5 returns ₱150, ×2 ₱200, ×4 ₱400, ×8 ₱800, ×16 ₱1,600, ×32 ₱3,200 and the giant ×64 chicken ₱6,400. The smallest bird barely beats your stake, which is why a high hit rate does not mean high profit.

The chance the game should show you

BGaming does not publish the Chance To Win values on its page; they appear when you hover in the game. We can, however, show what they would roughly be if every shot were a stand-alone bet with a 97% return. In that simplified model, chance = 97% ÷ multiplier. That gives about 88.2% for ×1.1, 64.7% for ×1.5, 48.5% for ×2, 24% for ×4, 12.1% for ×8, 6.1% for ×16, 3.0% for ×32 and 1.5% for ×64.

This is our model, not BGaming’s data. Because bigger birds “take more shots” and progress is saved, the real first-shot chance for large chickens may be lower and rise with later shots. The practical use of the chart is as a sense check: if the in-game Chance To Win for the ×64 chicken is far below 1.5%, expect several shots, and several bets, per kill.

The maximum win

EUR 256,000 divided by ×64 is EUR 4,000, which suggests the cap corresponds to a ×64 hit at a EUR 4,000 bet; that is our inference, and operators set their own limits. At the European Central Bank reference rate of ₱71.121 per euro on 21 October 2026, EUR 256,000 is about ₱18.2 million, by our calculation.

Why a “casual” game is not a lighter form of gambling

BGaming files Chicken Halloween under its #Casual category, alongside other quick-play titles. “Casual” describes the format, not the stakes: you still bet real money on every round, and the 97% RTP still means the operator keeps an average 3% of everything wagered. The format can in fact make play faster than a slot, because there are no reels to wait for and Autoplay can fire shot after shot.

The useful difference is transparency. Few slots tell you the probability of a specific outcome before you bet; this game does, through its Chance To Win display. Use it. Before each session, write down the Chance To Win for two or three birds you intend to target, and compare your results afterwards with those figures rather than with your hopes.

How to approach a game like this

• Try the official demo first. BGaming says the demo is available on bgaming.com. Note the Chance To Win for several birds and how it changes after a missed shot.
• Use Autoplay stop conditions. The game lets you set them; a loss limit is the most useful.
• Do not chase the ×64 bird. A 1.5% chance, even in our generous model, means long runs without it are normal.
• Keep the bet flat. Low volatility makes small, frequent results the norm, so doubling up after misses only speeds up turnover.

What is not confirmed?

• The exact Chance To Win values and how they change with repeated shots.
• Whether each shot is charged as a separate bet in every mode.
• What “Hit Rate 66.2” measures; the page does not define it.
• Availability in the Philippines: we have not verified that any PAGCOR-licensed platform offers Chicken Halloween, and we do not claim one does.

Online gaming in the Philippines is for adults aged 21 and over, on licensed platforms only. Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stop when either runs out.
