It is Christmas time in the land of rubber duckies. Stores are filled with ducks of all colours, shapes, and sizes. Now I understand how difficult it is for my wife to select the perfect decoration when she has so many choices.
In the background, you will enjoy the sounds of Jingle Bells. Of course, everything is covered in snow, displaying a proper Christmas holiday scene. All you need is a coat, a pair of warm mittens, and a proper winter cap.
Even though the stores display numerous rubber ducks in their windows, there are 8 different types of them appearing on the reels. The king duck is first in line, followed by a scholar duck, and a duck wearing a blue cap. Next, there is the duck that wears a green snow cap.
Among low-value icons, you will find orange, purple, blue, and green ducks. The Scatter is not represented as a duck. The Scatter has only 1 role – to trigger the Free Spins feature. Unfortunately, there are no Wilds in the Lucky Ducky slot.
Lucky Ducky pokie machine is not one of the easiest slots to play. Nevertheless, the rules of the game are far from complicated. The BGaming title is played on a 6×6 grid and benefits from cluster pays. This means that you need to form clusters of 4+ matching symbols, horizontally or vertically connected.
You can bet as low as $0.20 and as high as $50 per spin. Lucky Ducky slot is of high volatility and comes with a 5,000x max payout. The king duck is the top-paying symbol, offering 50x the bet for clusters of 12 or more. Lucky Ducky RTP is 97.25%.
There is plenty to play for in the Lucky Ducky pokie machine. With each win, you trigger Cascading Reels. This feature is combined with the Merge Up feature. Both features are active in the base game and during free spins.
With 4+ Scatters, you can trigger up to 20 free spins. Land winning clusters to mark cells which then get win multipliers up to 128x.
Each time you land a winning cluster, some of the winning symbols will disappear, and some will upgrade to a symbol of a higher level. For example, if you land a cluster of 4 or 5 icons, 2 of them will be upgraded, thanks to the Merge Up feature.
So, thanks to the Merge Up feature and Cascading Reels, you can land multiple wins in a single spin and upgrade the symbols into higher levels, which gives you a chance for bigger payouts. The best part of the story is that you can also upgrade the top-paying regular symbol, aka king duck, to a Scatter. It will make it easier for you to trigger free spins.
When 4, 5, or 6 Scatters land on the reels, you get 15, 18, or 20 free spins, respectively. With 4, 5, or 6 extra Scatters landed during the feature, you receive 5, 8, or 10 free spins, respectively. When you land a winning cluster, the cells where you landed the win are marked.
The next time you land a win on a marked cell, it receives a 2x multiplier. Each time you land a win on a marked cell, it gets a +2x multiplier. Cell multipliers can go up to 128x. I triggered the feature only 3 times. However, my best round got me a total win of 622x. I got so many cell multipliers that my last free spin alone brought me around 450x.
If you activate the Chance x2 option, you will double your chances of triggering free spins. Also, it will increase your total bet. Honestly, I did not benefit from this option even though I activated it for a while.
The Buy Bonus option will cost you 100x. As always, I tested it and, as in most cases, I was disappointed. My total wins ranged from 4x to 22x. Therefore, I can claim that the Buy Bonus is not worth the money.
Even though I did not know much about Christmas rubber ducks, I was more than happy to test the Lucky Ducky pokie machine.
It did not disappoint me. BGaming did a tremendous job with the visuals and the soundtrack, thus creating a perfect holidays-themed slot.
I enjoyed the Merge Up feature and Cascading Reels, especially during the Free Spins feature. It helped me land one of my biggest total wins ever. Of course, it will take you time to trigger free spins. However, once you do, you are in for a treat.
I rate Lucky Ducky 8.3.
