Anyone looking for an off-beat slot experience will find just that with our new game Lucky Quacky. The casino game developers at WinGo! have a lighthearted approach to slot themes and designed this one around a city shop that specializes in lucky rubber ducks. There are lots of ducks to choose from, and as you play, you’ll figure out which ducks are the luckiest.
On top of offering a quirky theme, the game also has an innovative format that rewards players for landing matching clusters of icons anywhere on a grid. No need to line up icons on paylines or consecutive reels to get paid in Lucky Quacky—just little groupings connected horizontally or vertically are all you need. And the best part is, every win triggers another chance to get lucky with the game’s novel bonus features.
Lucky Quacky is the perfect game for casino players who want something different from the typical 5-reel, 25-line slot game full of BARs and fruit symbols. If that sounds good to you, continue reading our Lucky Quacky slot review to learn about the unique bonus features included. We’ll also go over the game’s design and format, so you know exactly how grid-style slot games work. Lastly, we’ll wrap up with a brief explanation about the best way to get an account started at Bodog Casino. That way you can play Lucky Quacky with real money today.
Gameplay & Design
As soon as you launch a session of Lucky Quacky, you’ll be transported to an unknown city corner where the aforementioned rubber duck shop is located. Great big windows under striped awnings bear rows and rows of these bright and cheery bath toys that are waiting to be brought to life on the reels.
This game has an expanded set of reels. The game icons spin on a 6X6 grid with six reels and six rows, creating ample opportunity to win payouts while you play. Instead of using traditional paylines, or even a “ways to win” format, Lucky Quacky uses “cluster pays” that are well suited for big grids. In order for matching game icons to trigger a win, four or more have to be connected horizontally or vertically (note: diagonal connections don’t count towards cluster wins). To see a visual of what these clusters look like on the reels, pull up the game settings and scroll down to “Cluster Pays.”
Unsurprisingly, the game symbols are an assortment of rubber ducks. Each one offers a unique payout within several tiers as displayed on the paytable. The lower-paying rubber ducks are solid colours that include orange, purple, blue and green. The green one, for example, pays between .10X and 5X your bet when you land between 4 and 12 in a cluster.
The higher-paying ducks are characters whose personalities shine from the unique hats on their heads. One has a toque, another has a baseball cap, and another a graduation cap. The highest-paying one—King Duck—sports a crown and pays up to 50X your bet.
The clusters begin with four-matches and go all the way up to 12+. As you’ll see below, some key features help boost these wins through a variety of ways.
Key Features
Win Up
This unique bonus feature is triggered after you land a winning cluster on the reels. Watch some of the symbols in the cluster disappear while the others get upgraded to the next symbol on the paytable’s symbol progression. For example, we mentioned the green rubber duck is the lowest-paying symbol in the game; with the Win Up feature, if you land four green ducks in a cluster, two of them would upgrade into blue ducks. And then blue ducks would likewise upgrade to purple ducks and so on and so forth.
The icons that disappear in the Win Up feature leave vacant spaces on the reels for the symbols above to drop down and fill. This cascade effect could lead to new wins forming without any extra money laid.
There are nine possible tiers, or progressions, that start with the humble green duck and move all the way up to the scatter symbol, the next topic of discussion.
Scatters
The scatter symbol is the acronym “LQ” for Lucky Quacky; they can appear anywhere on the game reels and serve two purposes. First, landing four or more triggers the game’s free spins round, which we’ll discuss in further detail in the Bonus Rounds section.
Second, the scatter is the ninth game icon in the Win Up progression. As mentioned, game symbols transform into the next symbol in the progression for access to higher payouts. There are eight regular game symbols (rubber duck icons), so if you win with the eighth symbol, King Duck, it transforms to the scatter symbol—the ninth progression.
Bonus Rounds
Free Spins
To trigger a free spins session in Lucky Quacky, you need to land a minimum of four scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Four scatters trigger 15 free spins, five trigger 18 spins, and six trigger 20. Free spins can be re-triggered by landing another four or more scatters before the session ends. When you re-trigger free spins, the allotment is slightly different; four scatters get you five more spins, five get you eight more spins, and six get you ten more spins.
Free spins happen on a special set of reels where the cells of winning clusters are highlighted. If you happen to trigger another winning cluster in highlighted cells, the payout is doubled with a 2X multiplier. That multiplier continues to increase by 2X with every subsequent win up to a maximum of 128X. As you play, you’ll see an assortment of multipliers displayed on each highlighted cell.
Buy Bonus
Get instant access to the game’s free spins session with the Buy Bonus feature. For 100X your bet, you can trigger a round of 15 free games—no waiting for scatters needed.
Chance X2
Another option for getting to free spins is the Chance X2 feature. This button increases your bet by 25% and doubles your odds of landing four scatters. It’s not quite as direct as the Buy Bonus option, but more practical for many players.
Casino Crypto Play
All of the games in our casino, Lucky Quacky included, can be played with real money when you have an account at Bodog. The best way to get started is by filling out the Registration form if you haven’t set one up yet. New players are eligible for a 100% Casino Welcome Bonus that doubles your first deposit up to a maximum of $600 in bonus cash. On top of that, we’re throwing in 50 free spins on a popular Egyptian-themed slot called Gods of Luxor.
Making that first deposit is easy with our selection of eight deposit options. You can use Interac e-Transfer, credit card, or one of six cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin SV, Litecoin, USDT or the super speedy Bitcoin Cash. Anyone who deposits with cryptocurrency is eligible for our Crypto Casino Match Bonus of 150% for up to $900. That’s a big chunk of change that gets added to your bankroll simply for choosing the best deposit option available.
We’ve been accepting Bitcoin for a decade now and believe it’s the best way to move money in and out of your Bodog account. Credit cards can charge cash advance fees, and Interac is notoriously slow, which is why we encourage players to try using cryptocurrency instead.
The process is simple. With a digital wallet downloaded on your phone, you can send and receive cryptocurrency instantly, and if you want to convert it to Canadian dollars, you forward the funds to a regulated cryptocurrency exchange that’s connected with your bank account. All of this can be done straight from your smartphone, making cryptocurrency the No. 1 vehicle for moving funds online.
One thing to note is that cryptocurrency gets automatically converted to Canadian dollars when it reaches your Bodog account. This way you can let it sit in your bankroll indefinitely without any worry about the market value fluctuating while you’re playing in the casino. When it’s time to cash out, you can opt to be paid with crypto as one of our three payment options. We’ve perfected the online crypto process here at Bodog and are confident that once your wallet and exchange account are set up, the transition to crypto will be efficient.
To learn more about using cryptocurrency to play casino games here, consult our Get to Know Crypto page. A step-by-step series of video tutorials will walk you through the process of setting up the appropriate accounts and completing your first crypto transaction.
Once people get comfortable with crypto, they rarely go back to the more traditional transaction options that are slowly becoming obsolete. The future of online gaming is with crypto.
