Duck Hunters Slot Review – A Shot at Glory or Just a Wild Chase?

Nolimit City is back with Duck Hunters, a game that takes their signature chaos and dials it up to 11. This high-volatility slot features a 5-5-5-5-5-5 reel setup, a 30,000x max win, and mechanics like xWays, Infectious xWays, and a vicious position multiplier system. Released across NLC casinos on February 11, here's all you need to know to have the best shot at big wins.

Base Game

Duck Hunters uses scatter pays, meaning wins occur when eight or more matching symbols appear anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols disappear, allowing new ones to drop in—but here’s the kicker: every winning position gains a multiplier that starts at x2 and can climb up to x8192 if repeatedly activated.

Then, there’s the Bomb feature, which wipes out a 3x3 cluster of symbols, making room for larger ones. This doesn’t just clear space—it doubles the affected symbols, a feature reminiscent of Tanked’s symbol transformations, though with a far more punishing volatility model.

However, this is Nolimit City, so don’t expect easy wins. Free spins are difficult to land:

• Duck Hunt Spins arrive once every 203 spins.
• Hawk Eye Spins? Once every 16,600 spins.
• Big Game Spins? Once every 663,000 spins.

Clearly, this is not a slot for the faint of heart, but xBet options can dramatically increase your odds—at the cost of a higher bet per spin.

Free Spins – The Hunter Becomes the Hunted

The bonus rounds bring three escalating levels of destruction:

• Duck Hunt Spins (3 Scatters, 7 Spins) – Multipliers persist, and one random upgrade is applied:
  • Upgraded xWays: Standard xWays symbols transform into Infectious xWays.
  • Upgraded Bombs: Expands the blast radius to 5x5.
  • Extra Shots: The +1 spin symbol is upgraded to +2 spins.
• Hawk Eye Spins (4 Scatters, 8 Spins) – Two upgrades are applied instead of one.
• Big Game Spins (5 Scatters, 10 Spins) – All three upgrades are active from the start.

On paper, this setup sounds lethal, but reaching the higher tiers is a tall order. Even Hawk Eye Spins, despite offering two upgrades, are an extreme rarity at 1 in 16,600 spins. Expect long hunts before you reach the true killing fields.

xWays, Infectious xWays, and the Carnage Factor

Duck Hunters brings back Infectious xWays, first seen in East Coast vs West Coast and Infectious 5. This mechanic expands identical symbols across the grid, dramatically increasing potential wins when paired with position multipliers.

If this feels familiar, that’s because it shares DNA with Fire in the Hole and Misery Mining—games that also rely on progressive multipliers and chain reactions rather than fixed paylines. However, Duck Hunters adds its own twist, making every position on the reels a potential multiplier powerhouse.

Special Bets – Buying a Shortcut to Mayhem

For players who want to skip the grind, Nolimit City offers several xBet options:

• xBet (2x bet) – Guarantees a bonus symbol on reel 2 and a 5x increased chance to trigger Free Spins.
• Day 2 Spins (2.8x bet) – All positions start with x2 multipliers.
• Day 64 Spins (90x bet) – Positions start with x64 multipliers.
• Day 1024 Spins (3,000x bet) – Positions start with x1024 multipliers, instantly unlocking the game’s full potential.

While these bets accelerate the action, they don’t guarantee a win—just a quicker path to the high-stakes madness.

The Verdict

Duck Hunters brings pure Nolimit City chaos, but it doesn’t belong in the ultra-high-stakes tier of their most extreme slots.

With a 30,000x max win, it falls short of Infectious 5 (55,555x) and Tombstone Slaughter (500,000x). However, it carves out its own identity with scatter pays and a brutal position multiplier system that makes every collapse a potential game-changer.

It shares Tanked’s love for absurdity, Outsourced’s grind-heavy progression (and the Extra Spin feature), and Fire in the Hole’s tension-filled multipliers. The result? A punishing slot that can pay big, but demands serious endurance.

For players who enjoy the chase more than the payout, Duck Hunters delivers. Just be prepared—this is a marathon, not a sprint.
