Duck Hunters Pokie Review

Nolimit City got us used to action-packed pokie machines. Each win brings cascades with increasing cell multipliers. Bombs will double the symbol size, while xWays and Infectious xWays increase the position multiplier by 2x-8x.

Depending on the number of landed Scatters, you can trigger the Duck Hunt Spins feature, the Hawk Eye Spins feature, or the Big Game Spins feature. Also, there are several options that you may activate to improve your chances of triggering free spins or to increase your win multipliers.

Cascading Reels & Win Multipliers

Each winning spin will remove the winning symbols and allow new icons to land on vacant positions. A 2x win multiplier will be added on every cell from which the winning symbol was removed. The multiplier value can go up to 8192x on every cell.

With the help of Cascading Reels and win multipliers, I recorded my biggest base game win of 35x.

xWays & Infectious xWays

When you land the xWays symbol, it transforms into a regular icon and carries a 2x, 4x, or 8x multiplier. As for the Infectious xWays symbol, it also turns into a regular icon with a 2x, 4x, or 8x win multiplier. The difference is that the Infectious xWays symbol affects all other matching icons on the grid, which get the same win multiplier.

Bomb Feature

When the bomb lands, it explodes in a 3×3 pattern, removing all symbols in its way. Also, the cleared cells get doubled symbol sizes once the new icons land. This feature is extremely handy especially when you have a non-winning cascade.

Duck Hunt Spins

When you land 3 Scatters on the reels, you trigger 7 Duck Hunt Spins. This is a Free Spins feature that comes with 3 possible upgrades. In Duck Hunt Spins, you spin the wheel and get 1 of the following upgrades – Upgraded Ways, Upgraded Bomb, or Extra +2 Shots.

With Upgraded xWays, all xWays symbols are immediately upgraded to Infectious xWays. The Upgraded Bomb destroys symbols in a 5×5 pattern. Extra +2 Shots will replace the Extra +1 Shot Scatter and give you 2 extra spins when the Scatter appears.

Every additional Scatter will give you an additional free spin (or 2 of them if the Extra 2 Shots upgrade is available). My best result in the Duck Hunt Spins was a total of 10 free spins and a 76x win.

Hawk Eye Spins

The Hawk Eye Spins feature is triggered when you land 4 Scatters. This secures you 8 free spins and 2 randomly awarded upgrades, which I already explained in the previous section. I triggered the Hawk Eye Spins feature twice. On both occasions, I got a total win around 100x.

Big Game Spins

Probably a feature that is the toughest to trigger. I managed it only once. You need 5 Scatters on the reels, and you get 10 Big Game Spins. Also, you get all 3 upgrades. My result here was a total of 17 free spins and a total win of around 200x.

Booster Features

There are several booster options that you can activate. If you activate the xBet booster, you get 5x more chances to trigger free spins. This will double your base bet. If you select the Day 2 Spins option, it will cost you 2.8x the initial bet. Here, you get a 2x multiplier on every cell.

The Day 64 Spins booster costs 90x the bet. This option gives you an initial 64x multiplier on every cell. Finally, the Day 1024 Spins booster is worth 3,000x the bet and gives you an initial 1,024x multiplier on every cell.

Also, you might get a chance to purchase an extra spin once a round is over. This extra spin will keep all the multipliers from the previous spin. However, you cannot add Scatters during the extra spin.

Buy Bonus

Each of the available Free Spins options is up for sale. Duck Hunt Spins cost 70x the bet. You need 200x the bet for the Hawk Eye Spins feature. If you want the Big Game Spins feature, you have to pay 600x the bet. The Lucky Draw option, which costs 235x the bet, will get you one of the three available free spins options.
