Duck Hunters is a backwoods hunting comedy from Nolimit City, rated Extreme for volatility. Symbols pay anywhere on a six-reel, five-row grid once eight or more of a kind land, and each position a win clears keeps a multiplier that doubles every time that spot wins again, up to x8192. Around that sit three free spins rounds, four paid boosters, four bonus buys and a cap of 30,000 times the base bet.

Where Duck Hunters comes from
Nolimit City released Duck Hunters to all its partners on 11 February 2025, under its Labs label. Its launch post calls the game "Extremely Volatile" and brings back the Extra Spin from the studio's Outsourced.
How Duck Hunters works
Six reels of five rows make thirty positions, with no paylines. Eight or more of the same symbol anywhere on the grid pay. The winners are removed, new symbols drop into the gaps and the grid is checked again, so one spin can run through several drops. A Wild stands in for every symbol except the Bonus.
The symbol pays are small. At R1, twelve or more of the top symbol pay R5, and eight or nine of any of the five lowest pay R0.10.
Every position a winning symbol leaves gets a x2 multiplier, and each new win there doubles it, up to x8192. The multipliers stay through a whole free spins round, and a paid Extra Spin keeps those of the spin before it.
The grid features and the three free spins rounds
- xWays. Turns into one of the regular paying symbols and raises the multiplier on its position by 2, 4 or 8 times.
- Infectious xWays. Reveals a symbol the same way, then infects every other copy of it on the grid with the same multiplier. When several xWays land, they all become the same symbol.
- Bomb. Clears the regular paying symbols in the 3x3 block around it and doubles the multiplier on each position it hits. Bonus and Wild symbols survive it.
- Duck Hunt Spins. Three Bonus symbols: 7 free spins, plus a spin per Extra +1 Shot symbol. One random upgrade: Infectious xWays for every xWays, a Bomb that clears 5x5, or Extra +2 Shots, two spins instead of one.
- Hawk Eye Spins. Four Bonus symbols: 8 free spins, two random upgrades.
- Big Game Spins. Five Bonus symbols: 10 free spins with all three upgrades.
What each spin, booster and buy costs
Costs as Nolimit City's rules give them, also at a R1 base bet. Check the rules screen at your casino before paying.
| Option | What it does | Cost in base bets | At a R1 base bet | Return per the rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal spin | Plain spin | 1 | R1 | 96.05% |
| xBet | Free spins 5 times likelier, a Bonus symbol on reel 2 | 2 per spin | R2 | 96.03% |
| Day 2 Spins | All positions start at x2 | 2.8 per spin | R2.80 | 96.04% |
| Day 64 Spins | All positions start at x64 | 90 per spin | R90 | 96.04% |
| Day 1024 Spins | All positions start at x1024 | 3,000 per spin | R3,000 | 96.05% |
| Duck Hunt Spins buy | 7 spins, 1 upgrade | 70 | R70 | 95.87% |
| Hawk Eye Spins buy | 8 spins, 2 upgrades | 200 | R200 | 96.07% |
| Big Game Spins buy | 10 spins, all 3 upgrades | 600 | R600 | 96.00% |
| Lucky Draw buy | 50% Duck Hunt, 25% Hawk Eye, 25% Big Game | 235 | R235 | 95.96% |
What the prices change
The nine returns sit between 95.87% and 96.07%, so over time every option costs about the same share of the stake. The price changes how much rides on one round: a 70x buy puts seventy spins' worth into seven free spins.
The cap stays at 30,000 times the base bet whatever you pay. That is about 430 times a Duck Hunt Spins buy, 50 times a Big Game Spins buy and only 10 times one Day 1024 spin.
Lucky Draw's 235 is the three buy prices averaged by the odds on its card, so it is a coin toss between the cheapest round and a dearer one, not a discount.
The Extra Spin
After some winning rounds the game can offer one more spin that keeps the multipliers on the grid. It is priced from those multipliers, offered only when it costs no more than the win just landed, and no Bonus symbol lands in it.
The rules settle it in one sentence: "Optimal return to player is achieved by not choosing an Extra Spin." The multipliers are already in the price. Collect the win.
Extreme volatility with a rand budget
Nolimit City prints three numbers next to the Extreme label: a hit frequency of 17.07%, so roughly five spins in six pay nothing; free spins once in 203 spins on average; and the 30,000x cap about once in 22 million rounds in its simulation.
An average is not a schedule. At R1 a spin, 203 spins cost R203, yet more than a third of 200-spin sessions see no free spins at all. Buying skips the wait, not the swings.
Duck Hunters RTP and volatility
Nolimit City gives Duck Hunters's return to player as 96.05%.
Volatility is extreme: most spins return little or nothing, and the return rests on rare, very large hits that many sessions never see.
Top payout: 30000x.

Pros, cons and verdict
- Doubling position multipliers give every drop something to build
- The rules print the price and return of every booster and buy
- Plain free spins triggers: 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols
- Extreme volatility: roughly five spins in six pay nothing
- The 30,000x cap stays fixed while options cost up to 3,000 base bets
- The Extra Spin lowers the return, by the rules' own account
Duck Hunters is built on one idea, positions that remember wins and double. Bombs and xWays raise the multipliers, and free spins keep them all round. Every booster and buy returns about 96%, the cap stays at 30,000 times the base bet, and the dearer routes only put more stake on one round. Play it on a small stake, treat the buys as optional and decline the Extra Spin.
