What is the Duck Hunt bonus?

The Duck Hunt is a pick-and-click bonus round triggered by three Shotgun scatters. Players select ducks on a pond-themed screen; each duck reveals a cash prize, with the feature ending on a 'Pop' reveal.

Is Duck of Luck based on the Nintendo game?

No, despite the superficial similarity. Duck of Luck is an original MGA Games design with no licensed connection to Nintendo's 1984 Duck Hunt. Both use duck-hunting imagery but are otherwise unrelated.

Duck of Luck pokie by MGA Games — 5-reel duck-hunting reels with pick bonus

Duck of Luck is the pokie MGA Games built when they wanted a feature-rich theme without the typical licensing overhead of branded titles. The duck-hunting motif gives the pokie a clear visual identity — waders, shotguns, mallard ducks, weathered pond reeds — while the mechanics land somewhere between a classic video pokie and a feature-heavy modern release. Two trigger-able features drive the sessions: a Duck Hunt pick bonus with cash reveals, and a conventional free spin round.

MGA Games is one of the smaller studios in AU-facing lobbies — its releases often sit in a "Classic" or "Other Providers" category rather than alongside Pragmatic Play or Play'n GO. Duck of Luck is the title most likely to put MGA on a new player's radar. The art is strong, the duck-hunt feature is genuinely fun to play, and the RTP sits comfortably in the modern mid-range.

At a glance

Medium-volatility pokie with two bonus features — a pick-and-click Duck Hunt and a free spin round. Not the highest RTP in its category but strong theming and a genuinely engaging pick bonus make Duck of Luck a solid session pokie rather than a dry numbers game.

How Duck of Luck plays

Five reels, 20 fixed paylines, left-to-right wins. The paytable leads with the Hunter character, followed by the Mallard Duck, the Rubber Duck, the Wooden Duck and the Decoy; 9-to-A royals fill out the low end. The Pond Lily is the wild — substituting for all regular symbols except the two scatter types.

There are two separate scatter symbols: the Shotgun triggers the Duck Hunt pick bonus, and the Flying Duck triggers the free spin feature. Both pay scatter wins regardless of line position.

Bonus features

Duck Hunt pick bonus — three or more Shotgun scatters launch a pond-themed pick screen. Players select ducks; each reveals a cash prize (multiplier of current bet). The feature ends when a "Pop" reveal appears — a duck that bursts instead of paying out.
Free spin feature — three or more Flying Duck scatters trigger 15 free spins with a 2× multiplier on all wins. Pond Lily wilds appear more frequently during the feature than on the base game.
Pond Lily wild — substitutes for all regular symbols. Doesn't carry a standalone multiplier, but all wins including a wild are multiplied by 2× during free spins.
Retriggers — three more Flying Ducks during the free spin feature award another 15 free spins. Duck Hunt pick bonus can be retriggered by three Shotguns during free spins (rare but possible).
Gamble feature — red/black gamble on any base-game win, up to four consecutive gambles allowed.

Theme, graphics and sound

Autumn palette — russet browns, gold-leaf yellows, muted pond greens. The reel frame is wooden plank fencing with hanging decoy ducks as corner decorations. Sound design uses folk-style banjo-and-harmonica for the base game and a brassy hunt-call sting on the Duck Hunt trigger. Duck quacks punctuate the scatter landings. Presentation is warm and committed to the theme — nothing half-hearted about the duck-hunting world MGA built here.

Mobile play

HTML5 build runs cleanly on phones. The Duck Hunt pick bonus is touch-optimised — tap to select ducks directly rather than using a cursor. Free spin multiplier display is clearly visible in both portrait and landscape. Autoplay is configurable on the base game with standard win/loss limits.

FAQ

What is the RTP of Duck of Luck?

Approximately 95.30% on the online version — mid-range for MGA Games' mid-2010s releases and broadly in line with the 20-line video-pokie category average.

How much can the Duck Hunt bonus pay out?

Highly variable depending on how many ducks you pick before hitting a "Pop" reveal. Typical rounds return 10-50× current bet; longer runs can push the total into the 200-400× range. Very rare maximum rounds approach the 500× ceiling.

Can I retrigger free spins?

Yes. Three more Flying Duck scatters during the free spin feature add another 15 spins on top of the remaining count, with the 2× multiplier preserved.

Is there a bonus-buy option?

No. Both features can only be triggered through natural scatter landings on qualifying base-game spins.
