SPRIBE, the studio behind the global crash hit Aviator, has introduced its latest high-risk release, Pilot Chicken — a fast-paced crash game built around extreme win potential and simple, nerve-testing gameplay.

The single-player title challenges users to guide Pilot Chicken safely across a busy road. As the character advances, the win multiplier rises continuously — but so does the danger of getting run over. Players must choose the perfect moment to cash out, balancing risk and reward for a chance to reach the game’s maximum multiplier of 1,000,000x.

Following the success of Aviator, which attracts more than 77 million unique monthly players, Pilot Chicken delivers the same quick-round format and decision-driven mechanics that appeal to both casual players and high-stakes bettors.

The game features adjustable volatility, allowing users to toggle risk levels from low to very high, with an RTP of 97%. A Free Bets bonus supports player engagement while offering operators an additional promotional tool. As with all SPRIBE titles, Pilot Chicken operates on a provably fair system to ensure transparency and trust.

Shalva Bukia, CPO at SPRIBE, said: “Pilot Chicken is a high-risk high-reward rush where players must carefully guide him from one side of the road to the other if they are to hit the game’s max win potential of 1,000,000x.

“As with Aviator, the gameplay is simple and the UX intuitive and easy to navigate. This means the learning curve is almost non-existent.

“Pilot Chicken is all about thrilling gameplay, combined with a bit of fun and plenty of agency, giving players a sense of control over the outcome of the game. This is a strong blueprint that we believe will see Pilot Chicken fly just as high as Aviator.”
