Scruffy Duck Slot Machine Review
Yep. The Ugly Duckling has been given a bit of an upgrade. Now he is just mildly scruffy, and he is willing to throw tons of cash at you. This is one of the better NetEnt slots that we have played in recent years.
How to Play Scruffy Duck Slot Machine
Scruffy Duck slot machine was designed by NetEnt. There are 5 reels and 25 paylines. The minimum bet is 25p. The maximum bet is £250 per spin. There is a house edge of 3.62%, and it is a low to medium volatility slot.
This is a new game from NetEnt, having been released in January 2017, but it is a slot machine which seems to have gone back to the roots of slot machines. This is something simple, but which is still a ton of fun to play.
Anyway, the simplicity shows in the graphics of the game. They look great, but they are not so overwhelming that you have no idea what is going on.
Far too many slots nowadays seem to think that people love animations in the background and the like. Guess what? We really do not. They are distracting and they are not fun at all. Thankfully, some companies, like NetEnt, are starting to wake up to that.
In terms of game play, this is NetEnt. If you are looking for a game which completely blows your mind, then you are going to be sorely disappointed. The game is fun to play, but there are no features which will really push your limits in terms of how they work. Some people like this, some don’t. Your choice.
Bonus Rounds & In Game Features
There are several features to find in this game. The one that you will probably be dealing with the most is the Expanding Wild. This takes the form of the Scruffy Duck. When he appears, it does not just take up the one position on the reels, it takes up every position on the reel it appears on. This means that you will be well on your way to some big wins.
Stacked Symbols: The second feature is stacked symbols. Only the highest paying symbols are stacked. You will see them when they appear.
Free Spins Feature: The feature that really tickles our fancy, however, is the free spins feature. This occurs when you get 3 scatter symbols on the reels. You will then trigger a bonus round where you will be asked to select a duck. The duck you select will dictate the feature you get:
- 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier tied to it.
- 12 free spins. However, only high paying symbols will remain on the reels.
- 10 free spins. There will be a wild which can cover the middle three reels. It can appear on any free spin.
- 8 free spins. Up to 5 random wilds will appear on the reels.
- 6 free spins PLUS two of the features highlighted above. This is our favourite one. However, it is worth noting that you do not get to choose which feature you get.
Scruffy Duck Mobile Slot Machine
Since this is a newer NetEnt slot, you can expect it to completely blow your mind with regards to how it performs on mobile devices. In fact, this is probably one of the better mobile games we have played this year, and we have played a lot of them!
We seriously recommend that you check it out on whatever device you have handy. As long as it is a smart device, then we are sure that the Scruffy Duck mobile slot will work well for you.
Summary – What Do We Think?
While some people may be disappointed with the whole look of Scruffy Duck (we weren’t), we are going to assume that these people realise that beauty is not skin deep.
When you strip away the look of the game, you have something that is packed to the brim with fun. Seriously; just check out that free spins mode. You will be enjoying the game like crazy! It is one of the better free spins games we have encountered in recent years.
