Play Duck for Free

These ducks may not be the real deal, but their yellow plastic forms bring us copious amounts of joy as we remember bathtimes from our childhood. A row of them would swim along and keep us company, wiling away the time.

Their adorableness is unbearable, which is probably why we’re speeding along to the betting range to try and get as close to them as possible. All users will start off with a pay-in of 0.01 per line, which can be increased up to 2 credits on every line. Should you be going for the maximum amount, you may as well click the Max Bet rather than manually do everything yourself.

As there aren’t that many winlines, we’ll leave them as they are, but you’re more than welcome to play around and see how low they can go; the capping off point with 777igt is usually 10, but they’ve gone for a minimum of 5 lines this time. Changing the winlines will alter the chances of you securing wins, for less lines can only mean one thing: less wins. At least that’s the theory anyway.

If you’re happy quaking along at a manual pace, that’s all fine and dandy, but if you want to have a break from it all, you can select the Autospins. Here you can play as many rounds as you want at any one time, with the infinity symbol allowing for continuous use of the feature.

Even though there’s plenty of fun to be had paddling along gently, there’s more enjoyment to savour when you unlock one of the several features that Lucky Duck has to offer.

Ultimately the bonus game is seen as the best around, but we actually prefer the free spins. This is because they seem to activate an awful lot, giving us quick but rewarding bursts of cost free gaming. You’ll know when the rounds are about to trigger, as the words ‘FREE SPINS’ we take over the grid, and the bell symbols will begin to shake.

The only element of the activity that tops the specials are the three jackpot totals. You need five of a kind to win any of them, which makes it a difficult level to unlock, but once you have and the money is in hand, there’s nothing left to do. We much prefer jackpot bonuses that have something about them other than just the cash; there’s no pleasure from being handed money.

Despite the fact that Duck is an intriguing game awash with various design elements cherry picked from different genres - the funfair, bathtime, classic slot machines, and so on, it isn’t an activity we’d play again. Or if we did we’d stick to the demo mode instead. It just doesn’t work as a whole, with the manicness of the reels actually hindering rather than helping the action along.

It all feels like the theme hasn’t been thought out, which indirectly has an impact on how we approach the game. 777igt has better to offer than this.
