Duck Hunters

Duck Hunters Slot Review

Have you ever seen that popular TV show about rural Americans called Duck Dynasty on A&E? If so, you will be highly familiar with the theme of this slot because it features all things country: beers, whiskey, guns, hunting, and the love for your family. The visuals have a distinct cartoonish look, and the soundtrack sounds pleasant and not overly imposing. One of the things that makes this slot stand out among others of a similar theme is its Extreme Volatility, so be careful when you delve into this adventure.

Basic information

The return to the player of this slot varies from 92.04% to 96.05% (list of Slots with Best RTP) depending on your casino.

Don’t forget that there is an option to try Duck Hunters without risking any money (Free Slot Version) to get the feel of it and decide whether you like it or not.

Bonus Features and Free Spins

xWAYS is one of the things that make this quite lucrative in my opinion, when it drops on the reels, it changes into a regular paying symbol and boosts the multiplier of that position by 2, 4, or even 8 times.

Infectious xWays takes things even further and as its name suggests “infects” all of the other same symbols on the reel and expands it to the same size. If there are multiple xWays or Infectious xWays symbols on the reels, they become the same symbol.

Bomb appearing on the reels makes adjacent paying symbols disappear in a 3x3 formation and when it does so, it doubles the size of those symbols.

There are 3 distinctive free spin features available in this game. 

1. Duck Hunt Spins. When you land 3 Bonus symbols you are awarded 7 Duck Hunt Spins that come with some exciting bonus features such landing +1 Shot symbols that give you 1 spin. Another thrilling thing that makes your bonus round more lucrative is one of three random upgrades that are given to you:

• Upgraded xWays feature changes regular xWays into Infectious xWays;
• Upgraded Bomb makes your Bomb even more powerful that it clears adjacent symbols in a 5x5 pattern;

• Extra +2 Shots feature makes your +1 Shot symbols award +2 extra spins.

If you don’t feel like waiting for it to come during the main game, you can purchase it for 70x the bet.

2. Hawk Eye Spins comes into action when 4 Bonus symbols appear on the reels and awards you with 8 bonus rounds, it is similar to the previous tier of free spins but gives you 2 upgrades instead of 1.

This feature is also available for instant purchase for x200 the bet.

3. Big Game Spins get triggered when there are 5 Bonus symbols on the screen, it offers the same feature as the previous variant but with 3 upgrades.

Feel lucky and don’t want to wait for this feature to come? No problem! It is available as a bonus buy for x600 the bet.

Lucky Draw. When it comes to buying bonus rounds, there is another thrilling option of paying x235 the bet and getting either the first, the second, or the third variant of the bonus feature with 50%, 25%, and 25% chance respectively.

Nolimit Booster features (Bonus Buy):

• xBet. When this feature is engaged, your likelihood of getting Freespins is multiplied by 5, but at the same time you pay x2 the bet. Additionally, a guaranteed bonus symbol lands on the second reel with each spin;
• Day 2 Spins. When you activate this feature, you pay x2.8 the bet but you get the initial x2 multiplier on all positions;
• Day 64 Spins. If you feel lucky, you can pay 90x the bet and get the initial multiplier of x64;
• Day 1024 spins. And for the people who think that they were touched by God, they can risk x3000 the bet and get the initial multiplier of x64.

Extra Spin. If you got lucky with your multiplier count during the bonus game and don’t want to lose it, you can purchase an extra spin for an additional fee.

Verdict

Overall, we had a pleasant experience testing this slot, in a way it reminded us of RetroTapes which is another must play in our book, but a lot more volatile. During the base game the slot may seem a little bit dull, but when it comes to bonus features and its insane potential payouts is something that makes this slot worth trying for everyone who would like to risk big.
