About the Slot
Duck Hunters 2 is Nolimit City's follow-up to the original Duck Hunters. The slot is built on a six-reel grid with a 4-5-6-6-5-4 row configuration and uses scatter pays, requiring 8+ matching symbols anywhere on the grid to trigger wins and cascades.
Position multipliers accumulate on each winning position, reaching up to x8,192 through repeated hits. Max win is 33,333x.
Theme and Visuals
Rustic hunting lodge meets dive bar aesthetic. Cartoon duck targets and shotgun shells populate the reels. "Happy hour" twist on classic shooting gallery creates that laid-back weekend vibe.
Nolimit's signature irreverent humour throughout – duck characters react to being shot, bar signs advertise drink specials. Audio mixes country bar ambience with arcade-style sound effects during wins. Production values stay polished despite the playful theme.
Symbols and Paytable
14 symbols total split between high and low pay tiers. Payouts based on cluster size starting at 8 symbols:
| Symbol | 12+ Payout |

Classic Scatter Pays Mechanic
No paylines. Wins trigger when 8+ matching symbols land anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols removed and new ones cascade from above.
Each winning position receives x2 multiplier that stays on that grid spot. When the same position wins again, the multiplier doubles – x2 becomes x4, then x8, x16, and so on. Theoretical maximum per position is x8192.
Multipliers persist through the entire cascade sequence. Nolimit City engineered this scatter mechanic specifically around multiplier stacking – you need repeated wins on the same positions to approach maximum potential.
xWays and Infectious xWays
xWays symbols transform into regular symbols while boosting that position's multiplier by 2x, 4x or 8x. Standard Nolimit mechanic that creates immediate multiplier jumps.
Infectious xWays is the upgraded version. When it reveals a symbol, all matching symbols across the entire grid expand to the same size. Creates massive cluster potential from seemingly small starts.
Infectious xWays becomes standard in Hawk Eye and Big Game Spins bonus tiers – the upgrade transforms cluster formation dramatically.
Bomb Symbols
Bomb removes all regular symbols adjacent to its position. Doubles multipliers on all affected squares. After explosion, reveals a random symbol – can be mid-tier symbol, Wild, Infectious xWays or another Bomb.
Chain Bomb explosions create escalating multiplier situations. A Bomb landing on a x4 position surrounded by x2 positions doubles them all – the x4 becomes x8, surrounding x2s become x4.
Upgraded Bombs in higher bonus tiers remove mid-tier symbols from the reveal pool, leaving only premium outcomes. This shifts Bomb explosions from random utility to guaranteed value generators.
Bonus Rounds
Three bonus tiers triggered by 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols. Each tier adds upgrades while retaining previous mechanics. Position multipliers carry into bonuses – any multipliers built in base game transfer directly into the feature.
Duck Hunt Spins (3 Bonus)
Seven free spins. Position multipliers persist throughout feature. Extra +1 Shot symbols add single spins.
Randomly awarded 1 of 3 possible upgrades: Upgraded Bomb removes mid-tier reveals. Upgraded xWays replaces all xWays with Infectious xWays. Extra +2 Shots upgrades spin additions from +1 to +2.
Hawk Eye Spins (4 Bonus)
Eight free spins with all Duck Hunt mechanics. Starts with 2 random upgrades active instead of 1. Significantly improved feature potential from double upgrade start.
Big Game Spins (5 Bonus)
Ten free spins with all three upgrades active from the start. Upgraded Bombs, Infectious xWays standard, Extra +2 Shots. The full package where 33,333x becomes realistic.
Rarest trigger but highest ceiling. The Nolimit team loaded this one with maximum upgrade density from spin 1.

Extra Spin Purchase
After any spin you can buy one additional spin that keeps all current position multipliers intact. Only offered when spin cost is equal to or less than previous spin's win.
Useful for extending hot sequences where multipliers have built across multiple positions. Adds to session cost though – use selectively when the grid state justifies continued investment.
RTP and Volatility
96.07% base RTP. Booster and Buy options range from 96.04% to 96.11%. Extreme volatility rating – expect lengthy dry spells between substantial hits.
33,333x maximum capped under "Too Drunk To Miss" rule where the round ends and max payout awarded if exceeded. Position multiplier compounding is essential for big wins – base symbol values alone won't deliver without substantial multiplier buildup.

FAQ
Each time a position contributes to a win, it receives a x2 multiplier that stays on that grid spot. When the same position wins again, the multiplier doubles – x2 becomes x4, then x8, x16, x32, and so on. Theoretical maximum per position is x8192. Multipliers persist through the entire cascade sequence and reset only when the spin ends. Multiple winning positions with high multipliers create compounding effects on your final payout.
xWays symbols transform into regular symbols while boosting that position's multiplier by 2x, 4x or 8x. Infectious xWays does the same but adds a crucial upgrade – when it reveals a symbol, all matching symbols across the entire grid expand to the same size. This creates massive cluster potential from small starts. Infectious xWays becomes standard in Hawk Eye and Big Game Spins bonus tiers.
Three possible upgrades exist: Upgraded Bomb removes mid-tier symbols from the reveal pool, leaving only premium outcomes. Upgraded xWays replaces all xWays with Infectious xWays. Extra +2 Shots changes +1 Shot symbols to award +2 spins instead. Duck Hunt Spins awards 1 random upgrade. Hawk Eye Spins awards 2. Big Game Spins activates all 3 from the start.
Happy Hour Spins costs 3000x your stake and starts all positions at x8 multiplier with middle two reels filled with Bombs. RTP is 96.04%. This is for high rollers only – at £1 base bet you're paying £3,000 for one round. The starting multipliers and Bomb coverage offer immediate explosive potential, but variance remains extreme. Most players will find Day 8 or Day 64 Spins more accessible entry points.
Bomb removes all regular symbols adjacent to its position, then doubles the multiplier on every affected square. A Bomb landing on a x4 position surrounded by x2 positions would double them all – the x4 becomes x8, surrounding x2s become x4. After explosion, the Bomb reveals a random symbol which can be another Bomb, creating chain reactions. Chain Bombs create escalating multiplier situations across large grid areas.
The Extra Spin cost is based on the position multipliers from your previous spin. If the cost is less than or equal to your win on that spin, you'll be offered the option to purchase an Extra Spin and keep those multipliers active for another round.
