Duck Hunters Happy Hour - Demo & Slot Review

Duck Hunters: Happy Hour uses 6 reels with a changing height layout of 4-5-6-6-5-4, and it pays with a Scatter Pays system. The official RTP for the main build is 96.07%, but there are also lower RTP variants such as 94.04% and 92.07% depending on casino version. Max payout is 33,333x bet, hit frequency is 16.66%, and Free Spins trigger on average 1 in 220. Bet range is 0.20 to 100.

The backbone is xWays and Infectious xWays, Scatter Wins with position multipliers that can climb insanely high, plus Bombs that wipe areas and can reveal more danger. On top of that you have three Free Spins tiers, a set of paid boosters, and an Extra Spin option that can let you push a hot round further.

• Scatter Pays: Wins are paid when 8 or more of the same symbol land anywhere in view. When a win happens, winning symbols are removed and new symbols drop in.
• Position multipliers: Each position where a symbol was removed gets a x2 multiplier added. If that same position wins again on a later drop and it already has a multiplier, that multiplier doubles. A position multiplier can reach up to x8192.
• Wilds: Wild substitutes for any symbol except Bonus symbols.
• xWays & Infectious xWays:
  • xWays: symbols transform into a regular paying symbol and increase the position multiplier by 2, 4, or 8 times.
  • Infectious xWays: the revealed symbol “infects” all matching symbols on the reel area so they expand to the same size.
    If more than one Ways or Infectious Ways lands, they all transform into the same symbol.
• Bombs: A Bomb explodes in a 3×3 pattern and removes adjacent regular paying symbols. Position multipliers are doubled on the positions affected by the Bomb. After exploding, the Bomb reveals a random symbol which can be a mid-paying symbol, a Wild, an Infectious Ways, or another Bomb. Bonus and Wild symbols are not removed by the explosion. If multiple Bombs appear, their random reveals happen only after all Bombs have exploded.
• Free Spins:
  • 3 Bonus symbols trigger 7 Duck Hunt Spins with 1 upgrade.
  • 4 Bonus symbols trigger 8 Hawk Eye Spins with 2 upgrades.
  • 5 Bonus symbols trigger 10 Big Game Spins with 3 upgrades.
    In all Free Spins modes, position multipliers are kept during the feature.
• Upgrades: Extra +1 Shot awards +1 spin when it lands.
  • Upgraded Ways: Ways symbols become Infectious Ways.
  • Upgraded Bomb: behaves like Bomb, but it never reveals mid-paying symbols.
  • Extra +2 Shots: replaces Extra +1 Shot and awards +2 spins
• Nolimit Booster:
  • Bonus Booster: costs 2x bet, makes you 5x more likely to trigger Free Spins, and guarantees a Bonus symbol on reel 2.
  • Day 8 Spins: costs 10x bet, sets the initial multiplier on all positions to x8.
  • Day 64 Spins: costs 90x bet, sets the initial multiplier on all positions to x64.
  • Happy Hour Spins: costs 3000x bet, sets the initial multiplier on all positions to x8, and the middle two reels are guaranteed to be fully Bombs on the initial drop.
• Nolimit Bonus:
  • Duck Hunt Spins: cost 70x bet, gives you 7 Free Spins with 1 upgrade.
  • Hawk Eye Spins: cost 200x bet, gives you 8 Free Spins with 2 upgrades.
  • Big Game Spins: cost 600x bet, gives you 10 Free Spins with 3 upgrades.
  • Lucky Draw: cost 235x bet, gives you either Duck Hunt Spins (50%), Hawk Eye Spins (25%) or Big Game Spins (25%).
• Extra Spin option: After a round ends, you may be offered to buy an Extra Spin that keeps the current position multipliers. The price is based on the multipliers that were built. The option is only offered if the Extra Spin cost is less than or equal to the previous spin win. No Bonus symbols can land during Extra Spin.
