Duck Hunters 2 (Nolimit City) Review

Duck Hunters 2 slot review covers one of Nolimit City’s most ambitious releases to date – a full sequel to the grid multiplier hit that took home Game of the Year at the Bigwinboard Awards 2025. The premise has shifted dramatically from its predecessor: the ducks are no longer passive targets. Armed with flamethrowers and a serious grudge, they are fighting back, and the game’s attitude matches that energy from the first spin. What stood out to me immediately was just how much personality this game carries – the base game keeps a relatively calm backdrop, but the moment free spins ignite, the forest is literally on fire.

Visually and thematically, Duck Hunters 2 escalates everything from the original. The setting moves from a tame backyard to a wild, chaotic forest, and the cast of characters – Fanboy, Gamer, Phil, Granny, and Santa – returns alongside a reel full of slingshots, eggs, canned meat, guns, and ducks. It is louder, wilder, and considerably more loaded with options than any previous entry in the series.

Before spinning, players have a broad range of stake settings and optional add-ons to configure:

• Bet Options: Stakes range from $€0.20 to $€100 per spin, suiting both cautious players and high rollers.
• Ante Bet / Bonus Booster: Optional side-bet features can be toggled on to increase trigger frequency at an additional cost.
• Side Hustles: Optional add-on bets that raise the total stake in exchange for extra prize opportunities on specific outcomes.
• Feature Buy: Multiple bonus rounds and boosters are available for direct purchase; availability varies by operator and jurisdiction.
• xTra Spin: After a round ends, players may be offered an extra spin at a set cost, subject to conditions.

Duck Hunters 2 is played on a 6×5 grid using a scatter-pay mechanic – eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid trigger a payout. Wins cause matching symbols to be removed, after which remaining symbols drop and new ones fall in to fill gaps, potentially creating consecutive wins. Every removed position receives an x2 multiplier, and if a multiplier already sits on that spot it doubles again, up to a maximum of x16,384 per position. Starting spins can also include randomly placed multipliers. Volatility is rated Extreme (10 out of 10), the bet range runs from $€0.20 to $€100, the maximum win is capped at 40,000x the stake, and RTP reaches up to 96% (operator-dependent), with lower configurations possible depending on the platform.

Featured reel symbols:

• Premium character symbols: Fanboy, Gamer, Phil, Granny, and Santa form the top-paying tier.
• Mid-tier symbols: Guns and ducks sit in the middle of the pay table.
• Low-tier symbols: Slingshots, eggs, and cans of meat fill the lower pay ranks.
• Special symbols: Wilds, xWays, Infectious xWays, and Bombs each carry unique reel functions detailed below.

Any cluster of eight or more identical symbols pays out regardless of position. Removed symbols leave x2 multipliers on their grid spots, and existing multipliers double on each subsequent hit, climbing as high as x16,384 on a single position. Each spin can also begin with randomly seeded multipliers already active on the grid.

Standard Wild symbols substitute for any regular paying symbol and contribute to scatter-win combinations in the normal way.

xWays symbols reveal a regular symbol and simultaneously boost the position multiplier by 2x, 4x, or 8x. The Infectious xWays variant takes this further – once the revealed symbol is determined, every matching symbol on the grid expands to the same size. When multiple xWays or Infectious xWays land together, they all transform into the same symbol type.

Bombs activate after a win, clearing themselves along with all symbols above them on their reel. The bomb’s own position gains an x2 multiplier boost, the position directly above gets x4, the one above that x8, and so on up the reel. Bombs detonate before the next collapse and do not affect scatter symbols.

Landing three scatter symbols awards 7 Duck Hunt Spins, four scatters trigger 8 Hawk Eye Spins, and five scatters deliver 10 Big Game Spins. Position multipliers carry over into all free spin variants, and landing an Extra +1 Shot symbol during the feature adds one more spin. Duck Hunt Spins come with one randomly selected upgrade from a pool that includes Upgraded xWays (all xWays become Infectious xWays), Upgraded Bomb (bombs clear symbols above and below), Extra +2 Shots (replaces the +1 symbol), Extra Multipliers (five additional multipliers placed at the start), and a bonus starting spin. Hawk Eye Spins award two upgrades and Big Game Spins award three.

When a round concludes, players may be offered the chance to purchase one additional spin at a cost equal to or less than the round’s win – Side Hustle wins are excluded from this calculation. The extra spin preserves the current position multipliers. Alternatively, a reduced-cost version is sometimes available where multipliers are halved. Scatters do not land during xTra Spins.

Side Hustles are optional add-on wagers layered on top of the base stake. Different hustles pay when specific conditions are met: character-removal outcomes pay up to 32.85x, landing two or more scatters pays up to 25.5x, a dead spin (no win) pays up to 13.95x, and hitting the maximum x16,384 position multiplier pays up to 493.75x the Side Hustle bet.

• Hawk Eye Spins: Available for 240x the bet.
• Big Game Spins: Available for 700x the bet.
• Lucky Draw: Available for 275x the bet.

Feature buy availability is operator- and jurisdiction-dependent; not all options may be accessible on every platform.
