Rooster Run 2

Rooster Run 2 at a glance

Our rating: 3 / 5 ★★★☆☆

Mascot Gaming released Rooster Run 2 on 13 August 2026. It is a farmyard slot on a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines, a medium volatility rating, and a 5,000x maximum win. Return to player is 95.50%, which is the number that shapes our verdict. Stakes run from €0.20 to €100 a spin.

95.50% gives the house a 4.50% edge. The 152 farm-animal slots in our games database average 96.04%, so this release sits half a percentage point behind its own sub-genre. That gap is the main thing to weigh before you play.

Key stats

How it plays

The 20 paylines are fixed, so coin value is your only stake control. Minimum spin is €0.20, which puts the entry point a little above the 10c games that dominate the low-deposit end of the market.

Mascot Gaming has not published a confirmed feature list for this release, so we are working from the specifications alone and will not name mechanics we cannot verify. Medium volatility on a 5×3 grid with 20 lines describes a fairly even game: wins land at a reasonable clip, most of them are small, and the run to anything near the 5,000x ceiling is long. A €0.20 spin reaching the maximum returns €1,000.

The title arrives numbered as a sequel. Our database holds no entry for an earlier Rooster Run, so we are reviewing this release on its own terms and making no claims about a predecessor.

We put a couple of hundred spins through the demo at the minimum stake. It behaves as a medium-volatility slot should, with small returns arriving often enough to keep a session moving and no dramatic swings in either direction. Comfortable is the word for it. The 4.50% edge grinds away steadily in the background.

RTP, volatility and your bankroll

The 95.50% figure deserves attention because it is genuinely below current market norms. A great many 2026 releases land at 96.00% or better, and the difference between 95.50% and 96.50% is €1 of theoretical value on every €100 you stake. Over a few thousand spins that adds up.

Mascot’s own catalogue average across the 69 titles we hold is 95.31%, so Rooster Run 2 is marginally above house par. The wider market is the more relevant benchmark, and against that it lags.

Medium volatility does soften the practical impact. You are less likely to lose a bankroll in a hurry than you would be on a high-volatility game at the same RTP, because the returns come back more evenly. The edge is still the edge.

Betting and bankroll: the spin maths

Theoretical cost at three stake levels, based on the 4.50% house edge:

• €0.20 a spin. 100 spins is €20 in turnover and €0.90 in theoretical loss. A €20 bankroll gives you 100 spins, and a €40 bankroll gives you a fair session at 200.
• €1.00 a spin. 100 spins is €100 turnover and €4.50 theoretical loss. Budget €100 for a 100-spin session with room to absorb a cold start.
• €5.00 a spin. 100 spins is €500 turnover and €22.50 theoretical loss. This is high-roller territory on a game whose ceiling is only 5,000x.

Worth noting how the ceiling scales: 5,000x from €0.20 is €1,000, from €1.00 it is €5,000, and from €100 the arithmetic gives €500,000. Operator win caps vary, so check the terms wherever you play.

Medium volatility and a €0.20 floor make this a reasonable candidate for wagering requirements, where steady small returns matter more than a big ceiling. If you are chasing a large single win, the 5,000x cap is modest and there are better options below.

Where it sits in the Mascot Gaming range

Mascot Gaming was founded in 2010 by two software developers and operates from Malta. The studio builds slots, card games and lotteries, and its house style leans on mechanics such as its Rockfall cascading reels, Double Chance for bonus triggering, and a Risk and Buy option on some titles. None of those is confirmed for Rooster Run 2 in our data.

The in-house comparison is where the RTP looks weakest. Mascot released Poseidon The Deep King on 6 August 2026, a week before this game, at 96.50% with the same medium volatility and the same 5,000x ceiling. Milk and Luck, Huntress vs Baba Yaga and Jackpot Gem Rush all match that pattern: 96.50%, medium, 5,000x. Bamboo Bear goes further at 97.20%, albeit with a 2,000x cap.

If you want a Mascot slot of this shape, four stablemates give you a full percentage point more return for the same volatility profile and the same top prize. That is a hard argument to answer.

Similar slots

• Rooster Rumble (Pocket Games Soft, 96.75%, medium volatility, 20,000x) is the obvious head-to-head, better RTP and four times the ceiling.
• The Pig House (TaDa Gaming, 97.27%, medium volatility, 5,000x) matches the ceiling at a much stronger return.
• Piggy Mania (Playtech, 96.63%, medium volatility, 2,500x) trades ceiling for return and studio pedigree.
• Lucky Piggy (Pocket Games Soft, 96.79%, medium volatility, 20,000x) is another farm slot with a far higher cap.
• Poseidon The Deep King (Mascot Gaming, 96.50%, medium volatility, 5,000x) is the in-house upgrade on identical specs.
