Duck Hunters 2

Duck Hunters 2 is a Nolimit City sequel built on scatter pays, collapsing symbols and multipliers that stay on the grid. The Duck Hunters 2 game page lists an RTP of 96.00%, a bet range of €0.20 to €100.00 and a maximum payout of 40,000 times the base bet.

The grid is listed as 6-6-6-6-6, and the humour is loud and crude: the ducks have come back with an attitude problem, and Granny has her shotgun. The theme is not for everyone, but the maths underneath is well documented, so this guide sticks to how it works.

Nolimit City also notes the chance of hitting the maximum win at 1 in 88 million spins, which puts the 40,000x figure in perspective.

Wins are paid when 8 or more symbols of the same kind land anywhere on the reel area. Winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in, so a spin can cascade several times.

Each position where a symbol was removed gains a x2 multiplier. If that position already holds a multiplier and wins again on the next drop, the multiplier is doubled. Random multipliers are also placed on random positions at the start of every spin.

A position multiplier can grow to x16,384. The multipliers stay on the grid between drops, so the same spot rewards repeated wins, and that is where most of the potential comes from.

Wild symbols substitute for any normal paying symbol. They help form winning clusters of 8 or more.

xWays symbols transform into a regular paying symbol and increase the position multiplier by 2, 4 or 8 times. Infectious xWays goes further: the revealed symbol infects all other matching symbols on the reel area, expanding them to the same size.

If more than one xWays or Infectious xWays symbol lands, they all transform into the same symbol. That makes a single reveal potentially large, because the same symbol fills many positions at once.

The Bomb triggers when no win combinations remain on the reels, so it works as a rescue for dead drops. Once active, it removes itself and all symbols above it on its reel.

It then raises the multiplier of its own position by x2, the position one row above by x4, the next by x8, and so on. All Bombs explode before the next collapse, and Bonus symbols are unaffected by the explosion.

Because the growth doubles with every row, a Bomb low on a tall reel can build a very large multiplier on the upper positions, which sets up the next collapse.

Three Bonus symbols trigger 7 Duck Hunt Spins, four trigger 8 Hawk Eye Spins and five trigger 10 Big Game Spins. Position multipliers are kept during these rounds, and an Extra +1 Shot symbol awards +1 spin.

Duck Hunt Spins award 1 upgrade, Hawk Eye Spins award 2 and Big Game Spins award 3. The six possible upgrades are Upgraded xWays, which replaces xWays symbols with Infectious xWays, and Upgraded Bomb, which removes symbols above and below it and raises the positions either side by x4, x8 and so on.

The others are Extra +2 Shots, which replaces the Extra +1 Shot symbol and awards +2 spins on landing, +2 Upgrades, Extra Multipliers, which places 5 more multipliers on random positions on the first spin, and +1 Spin, which adds a spin at the start.

More upgrades from a higher tier do not guarantee a better round, but they do widen the range of what can happen.

The paid options are priced in multiples of the base bet. xWays Juicer costs 500 times and gives 7 spins in which Infectious xWays lands every spin, with Upgraded xWays the only upgrade. Bomb Juicer costs 2,800 times and gives 7 spins with the Upgraded Bomb guaranteed.

Bonus Booster costs 3 times the base bet and guarantees a Bonus on the second reel. Bonus Hunt costs 30 times and guarantees a Bonus symbol on the initial spin and on each avalanche triggered by a win or Bomb explosion.

The Day spins start with every position multiplier raised: Day 8 costs 10 times for x8, Day 64 costs 90 times for x64, Day 512 costs 800 times for x512 and Day 2048 costs 4,000 times for x2048. Paid options raise the cost of play and are not offered everywhere, so check your operator.

The xTra feature may offer you a spin after a round ends. It keeps the position multipliers from the previous spin, or for a smaller cost you can take an Extra Spin with the multipliers halved. The cost depends on the multipliers, and the option appears only if the cost is less than or equal to the previous win. Bonus symbols do not land during an Extra Spin, and the offer requires a Scatter win in the main game.

Side Hustle is an optional add-on bet that raises the cost of the spin and pays a fixed win if a chosen outcome occurs. You can place several at once. The options are Kill Santa, Kill Granny, Kill Phil, Kill Gamer, Kill Fanboy and Kill Duck, each paying if at least one of that character is removed.

The remaining three are Max Multiplier, which pays if a position reaches 16384x, Double Bonus, which pays if at least 2 Bonus symbols land in the base game, and Dead Spin, which pays if the base game spin ends with no win. The costs and payouts vary with the option you choose.

The maximum payout is 40,000 times the base bet. When the total win exceeds that figure the round ends and exactly 40,000 times the base bet is awarded, a rule the game labels Duck Man Returns.

The position multiplier cap of x16,384 and the 40,000x round cap are separate limits, and Nolimit City puts the odds of the maximum at 1 in 88 million spins. Treat it as a ceiling, not a target.

Watch how multipliers build on repeat winning positions, and how often a Bomb rescues a cascade that would otherwise stop. Then compare a base game spin with a Duck Hunt Spins round to see how many upgrades appear.

Try the Side Hustle options in the demo too, and notice how often outcomes such as Dead Spin occur against how much each costs. Demo play uses virtual credits and does not predict real results. This slot is for adults aged 18 and over, so keep to a budget you can afford.
