Hawk Eye Spins trigger with 4 Bonus symbols, providing 8 spins with two randomly awarded upgrades from the same selection.
Big Game Spins represent the premium tier, activated by 5 Bonus symbols and delivering 10 spins with all three upgrades simultaneously applied.
The returning Extra Spin feature allows players additional spins when the cost equals or falls below the current win amount, extending gameplay opportunities.
Duck Hunters: Happy Hour delivers a maximum payout of 33,333x the base bet, maintaining Nolimit City's "Extremely Volatile" rating that appeals to high-stakes players seeking substantial win potential.
"We weren't planning on making a sequel, but then happy hour hit and things got a little out of hand. Duck Hunters: Happy Hour is what happens when you mix one of our favourite slots with one too many cold beers, resulting in our new 'Happy Hour Spins' feature full of bombs, because why not? It ain't polite and it sure as hell ain't for everyone. It was never meant to be sensible, but that's exactly how we like it."
— Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City
