The Duck Ages Slot

Review of The Duck Ages by NuWorks, including real players\' reviews and ratings, free play mode, winning screenshots, latest bonus codes and promotions. ...

General As a quixotic mix of themes the Duck Ages can probably tickle just about any online slots fans funny bone, but more about this later on. This is a progressive, five-reel, twenty-five-pay-line video slot with a maximum base game jackpot of a rather healthy $5,000. This we like to see. The coin range is suitable for every online slots player and starts at $0.01 going up to $1, and a maximum wager of $25. This is basically $1 per line, and is more in line with a medium to high-roller bet. ...

When I started playing I was just waiting for Daffy Duck to show up somewhere on the reels. Well he wasn’t there but all of his distant medieval relatives were here. Ducks everywhere in the roles of White knight, Dark Knight, the King and the Princess. When I took a closer look at the rules of the game and the paytable it reminded me of Coat of Arms the RTG slot game. If you ever played that game you are sure to see the resemblance.

This game has two wild symbols which are the Dark Knight and the White Knight. They only appear on reel 2,3 and 4 and substitute all other symbols. The White Knight doubles every win where he substitutes. The Duck Ages logo is the scatter symbol of this game and 3 of these will trigger the free spins bonus. Here you can get 10, 25 or a massive 125 free games depending on the number of logos on the screen. The second feature of the game is very much alike to Coat of Arms and when 3 same Knights appear on reels 2,3 and 4 they stay there while the other reels respin up to 10 times and this feature cannot be retriggered.

I was very excited to try this game and started playing on a minimum bet of 0.25 but my playtime here was followed only by small wins up to 5 x bet and I was praying for some of the features to come. Finally 3 logos appeared on the screen and I got 10 free spins. I was hoping for some win of minimum 50 x bet but at the end I had a miserable win of only 6 x bet. I was very disappointed and changed the game. I still had a lot of fun playing and will come back some other time to try my luck again.

The other non-duck symbols are also sweet and display all the other common elements what we’re used to at a game like this, namely - castle, swords, treasures, escutcheons and strangely the slot doesn’t have any card symbols. The graphics are great and very colorful but it also needs to have good design and humorous animations to complete the gaming experience so I really got nothing against how this game looks like and I find it enjoyable and entertaining.

For me it was a surprise that this game has Progressive Jackpots (5 different kind of Jackpots – from Mini to Grand) to offer because this slot wouldn’t be my primary choice to assign such kind of attribute because of its interface and theme but of course no regret about that. Uncommonly, we have an opportunity here at this slot to increase our chance for Jackpots as the game provides a Jackpot Pyramid Bet option where we can place bets separately from the normal bet and in return we’ll get an entry to the Jackpot games within guaranteed number of spins. Normally, it is set at $0.50 with a promised feature in 30 spins but we can play it with $2.50 and got a Jackpot round in every 6 spins. It sounds great but in reality it isn’t worth to play it with that amount because it’s really hard to get through the second level.

Anyway, this Jackpot Pyramid round consists of 5 levels (each level has one Jackpot amount to win) and we have to pick idols one after the other until we complete a level or find a Red symbol. We can select Green and Gold figures too, while collecting the first one we get another chance to pick again, but finding the Gold one automatically means the next level is reached. Each and every pick (even the Red one which ends the bonus game) reveals an instant cash prize which can be from x1 up to x500 of Jackpot Pyramid Bet so it could happen that picking just one generous symbol pay much more than successfully completing of a Jackpot level. Of course, it is true only the lower level rounds because the higher levels are totally different paying ones. In lucky situations when more than one level are completed doesn’t mean the winnings at different levels are combined because only the prize of the highest level can be won then.

This feature and Jackpots definitely makes the game more interesting and exciting even if as I’ve said it very hard to get close to the real deal and reach the third level but I really appreciate that I have a word in it to influence my chance to get there.

Other than that the game acts as a normal slot game with offering 5000 coins as top prize if that line combination is mixed at least one Wild symbols which always double the wins. There is an increased chance for that as both the White and Black knights are Wilds but they only appear only on the 3 middle reels. The Duck Ages special pictogram triggers the free spin feature which can be 10-125 spins depending on the numbers of the triggering Scatters. During that extra spins all wins are doubled and the Wilds appear in stacked format and if Wilds from the same colour pop in on every inner reels at the same time the Re-spin feature is activated when reels 2, 3 and 4 stays the same while the other two reels are spinning for randomly assigned times.

Generally, this is a very good game where there are lot of options to win and the features have quite good conditions so this is can be a really exciting and good rewarding game at times. I haven’t found any real shortcomings or things to really miss here yet so I could say this game is an overall greatly managed products with the ability to entertain me for extended times and that’s why this slot really deserves a higher rating and I just can hope that it will be even higher in my book if Pyramid is going to be more generous for me.
