Duck Hunters Happy Hour - Real Money & Demo Play

The ducks are back, the BBQ is fired up and the drinks are on ice. Duck Hunters Happy Hour brings back the explosive action of the original Duck Hunters, with familiar mechanics, a reshaped reel layout and a few tweaks of its own.

Rather than being a complete reinvention, Duck Hunters Happy Hour feels more like a follow-up to the original game. The familiar cascading wins, position multipliers, xWays, Infectious xWays and Bombs all return, while the new layout and upgraded Bomb feature add a little extra to the formula.

Duck Hunters Happy Hour Online Casino Gameplay

Playing the game at BetWright casino is straightforward. Choose your stake, spin the reels and look for eight or more matching symbols anywhere across the playing area.

Winning symbols are removed from the grid, with the remaining symbols dropping down to fill the spaces. New symbols then arrive from above, potentially creating another win and another cascade.

Every position where a winning symbol was removed receives an x2 multiplier. If that same position wins again on the next drop, its multiplier doubles, with position multipliers capable of reaching x8,192.

Symbols and Payouts

The symbols in Duck Hunters Happy Hour range from everyday drinks and food to the game's duck-hunting characters.

The lower-paying symbols include cans, bottles, cocktails and eggs, followed by ducks and four character symbols at the top end of the paytable.

Eight or nine matching symbols can pay between 0.1x and 0.3x the bet, while 12 or more matching symbols can pay between 1x and 5x. Wilds can substitute for regular paying symbols.

xWays and Infectious xWays

xWays remain an important part of the Duck Hunters formula.

When an xWays symbol lands, it transforms into a regular paying symbol and increases the position multiplier by 2x, 4x or 8x.

Infectious xWays take things further by transforming into a paying symbol and infecting other matching symbols on the reels. If multiple xWays or Infectious xWays appear during a spin, they all transform into the same symbol.

Combined with the cascading gameplay and growing position multipliers, these features can create some seriously busy reels.

Bombs

Bombs are another returning feature, although they have a new trick in Duck Hunters Happy Hour.

When a Bomb explodes, it removes adjacent paying symbols around its position. Any affected position multipliers are doubled, while Wilds and Scatters remain untouched.

The Bomb then reveals a random symbol, which could be a mid-paying symbol, Wild, Infectious xWays or another Bomb.

If several Bombs appear, they all explode before their replacement symbols are revealed, giving the feature plenty of room for chain reactions.

Free Spins

Landing three, four or five Scatters triggers one of three different free spins rounds.

• 3 Scatters: 7 Duck Hunt Spins
• 4 Scatters: 8 Hawk Eye Spins
• 5 Scatters: 10 Big Game Spins

The position multipliers carry into the free spins, while each bonus round receives a different number of upgrades.

Duck Hunt Spins

Duck Hunt Spins receive one randomly selected upgrade. This can be an upgraded Bomb, upgraded xWays or additional +2 Shots.

Hawk Eye Spins

Hawk Eye Spins receive two of the available upgrades, giving the feature more ways to develop as the spins continue.

Big Game Spins

Big Game Spins receive all three upgrades, bringing together the full collection of enhanced features.

What Makes Happy Hour Different?

While much of the gameplay will feel familiar to anyone who played Duck Hunters, there are a few differences worth noting.

The 4-5-6-6-5-4 reel arrangement changes the shape of the playing area, while the Bomb feature has been given an extra layer by revealing a new symbol after it explodes.

The free spins structure also remains familiar, with Duck Hunt, Hawk Eye and Big Game Spins offering progressively more upgrades depending on the number of Scatters that triggered the feature.
