Which path to pick in Chicken Subway: the odds of the three multipliers
In Chicken Subway: Choose and Win each step offers three paths with different multipliers, for example x1.10, x1.50 and x2.00. The bigger the multiplier, the likelier a train is behind it. The rules don't say how much likelier, but they do state the RTP: 94%. That lets us estimate the odds.
| Path | Step multiplier | Estimated chance of no train | Two such steps in a row |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safe | x1.10 | ≈85% | ≈73% |
| Middle | x1.50 | ≈63% | ≈39% |
| Risky | x2.00 | ≈47% | ≈22% |
How the estimate works
If the return is the same on every path, the chance that there is no train behind a multiplier is ≈ 0.94 / multiplier. This is a calculation, not a provider figure. The example numbers are from step 1 in the demo; later steps have other multipliers, but the logic is the same.
What it means in practice
- The safe path passes most often, but the multiplier grows slowly.
- The risky path doubles your win, but less than half the time.
- Chances multiply: two risky steps in a row come to about 22%.
- Over time all paths return about the same, around 94% of stakes. Your path choice changes the swings, not the average return.
How to play it sensibly
- Decide in advance which total multiplier you're aiming for and how many steps you'll spend on it.
- Don't switch style after a loss: chasing it with the risky path is a common mistake.
- Try all three paths in the demo before you stake money.
