Doubleup Ducks

The carnival has become a popular theme for slots. It’s also where we begin our journey in the Double Up Ducks slot game. The slot is named after the hugely popular carnival game where you’d be tasked with knocking over toy ducks to win a prize. We may never have succeeded but it was still one of the best things about visiting the fairground! In this game, the prizes have entered the grown up leagues. No soft toys are up for grabs but plenty of big win multipliers make for a pretty good replacement!

About the Developer

Double Up Ducks has been developed by Playtech/ Virtue Fusion. This firm is responsible for not only a large number of games but they also run many popular casino and bingo sites. Their games tend to be of high quality, with engaging themes and frequent incorporation of bonus rounds.

About the Game

The graphics in the Double Up Ducks game are fantastic. It’s the first thing that we noticed upon opening the game. Taking a look at the slot’s structure, it’s a 5 reel slot with 3 rows and a total of 25 pay lines. The pay lines are variable and you can enable as many as your betting strategy and budget permit. Bets start from 10p, rising to a maximum of £1000 per spin.

The symbols are amazing and all represent a well-known facet of the fairground. These include various stuffed animals, tickets, lollipops and balloons. The pink elephant is one of the highest paying symbols in the game. Land 5 are you’ll multiply your original line stake by 9500! It also functions as a substitution symbol and can replace all others in the game, except the Duck Shooters.

The Duck Shooters function as a scatter symbol. They are not restricted to a single pay line and payout whenever 2 or more land somewhere on the reels. However, they become truly useful as your entry point into the bonus round. Whenever you land 3 or more duck scatters, you receive 15 free games. The games are all played at the same pay line and wager as the bet that first triggered it. However, as an added bonus all payouts are tripled whenever they occur during free spins.

For those who want to ramp up the risk, there is a gamble feature. It becomes available after each win. After clicking the gamble button, you’ll be asked to pick 1 of 2 possible options. Win and you’ll double your win. Lose and you lose it all. This feature is not for the faint-hearted!

Verdict

Double Up Ducks is straightforward slot game which does exactly what we’d expect. Although there are no flashy animations, the graphics are very well drawn making it easy on the eyes. There is a hefty payout available when you land multiples of the higher value symbols. It may not have the highest number of bonuses but the opportunity to win big in the base game is there. We recommend it for players who want access to uncomplicated slot games.
