Nolimit City looked at classic arcade duck hunting games and thought, “What if we made this absolutely unhinged?” Duck Hunters delivers exactly that—a tongue-in-cheek redneck duck-hunting satire where position multipliers can climb to a brain-melting 8,192x per cell, bombs explode in patterns that would make Michael Bay proud, and the Infectious xWays mechanic spreads like wildfire across the reels. With extreme volatility that’ll test your patience and a 30,000x max win dangling as the ultimate trophy (about a 1-in-22,000,000 shot), this February 2025 release isn’t your grandmother’s hunting simulator. It’s Nolimit City doing what they do best: building slots that feel like controlled demolition.

Key Highlights
- Nolimit City’s scatter pays slot released February 11, 2025, featuring a 6×5 grid where 8+ matching symbols anywhere trigger wins with cascading mechanics.
- Position multipliers that start at x1 and double with each cascade win on that position—up to a maximum of x8,192 per cell, creating astronomical win potential.
- Extreme volatility with 17.07% hit frequency (roughly 1 in 6 spins wins) and 96.05% default RTP. Alternative versions at 94.03% and 92.04% exist.
- 30,000x maximum win—if betting $100, you’re chasing a potential $3,000,000 payout, though the probability is astronomically low.
- Three free spins modes: Duck Hunt Spins (7 spins, 1 upgrade), Hawk Eye Spins (8 spins, 2 upgrades), and Big Game Spins (10 spins, all 3 upgrades).
- Nolimit Boosters including Day 2/64/1024 Spins that start with pre-loaded position multipliers up to x1024 across the entire grid.
Theme and Visuals
Duck Hunters embraces a satirical redneck hunting aesthetic with Nolimit City’s signature twisted edge. The backdrop features misty marshlands at dawn, complete with tall reeds, distant treelines, and that golden-hour glow that makes hunters wake up at ungodly hours. But this isn’t a peaceful nature scene—it’s a slapstick warzone where ducks, dogs, and bearded hunters collide in increasingly chaotic ways. Think Duck Dynasty meets Sugar Rush with a dash of backwoods absurdity.
The symbol design balances cartoon charm with tongue-in-cheek humor. High-paying symbols include the Bearded Hunter (complete with rifle and attitude), ducks brandishing their own weapons, hunting dogs, and beer cans scattered throughout the paytable. Low-value symbols use traditional card royals styled with hunting lodge aesthetics. The Bomb symbol deserves special mention: it’s gloriously destructive, with explosion animations that feel genuinely satisfying when they clear half the grid.
The audio design completes the package with ambient marsh sounds, distant shotgun reports, and increasingly intense music as multipliers build. When you hit big wins, the celebration feels earned—not just generic slot fanfare but actual hunting-themed triumph.
How to Play Duck Hunters
Duck Hunters uses scatter pays mechanics on a 6×5 grid, meaning you need 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels to win. Here’s your hunting guide:
- Set your bet using the stake controls—minimum €0.20, maximum €100 per spin (varies by casino).
- Understand scatter wins: Land 8+ matching symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid (30 positions total). Position doesn’t matter—symbols can be scattered anywhere and still form wins.
- Watch position multipliers: Every position on the grid has a multiplier (visible above each column). When a symbol in that position participates in a win, the position multiplier doubles. Starting at x1, this can climb to x2, x4, x8, x16… all the way to x8,192.
- Cascades continue: After each win, winning symbols are removed and new symbols drop. If the new arrangement creates another 8+ match, the cascade continues and multipliers keep doubling.
- Look for xWays symbols: These special symbols expand to show 2-4 identical regular symbols in one position, dramatically increasing symbol counts for scatter wins.
- Bombs explode: Bomb symbols remove adjacent symbols in a 3×3 pattern (5×5 in upgraded modes), doubling multipliers in affected positions even if they don’t participate in wins.
- Trigger bonuses: Land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols to trigger Duck Hunt Spins, Hawk Eye Spins, or Big Game Spins respectively.
Autoplay supports up to 100 spins with customizable stop conditions. Turbo mode is available for faster gameplay.
Symbols and Paytable
Duck Hunters uses scatter pays, so wins are based on total symbol counts rather than payline positions. Here’s what each symbol pays for different counts (shown as multiples of bet before position multipliers):
| Symbol | 8 of a Kind | 12 of a Kind |
|---|---|---|
| Bearded Hunter (Premium) | 0.50x | 5.00x |
| Duck with Rifle | 0.30x | 1.00x |
| Beer Can (Low) | 0.10x | 0.30x |
Base paytable values appear modest—even 12 matching premium symbols only pay 5x your bet. But position multipliers transform everything. Those same 12 Bearded Hunters with even moderate multipliers (say, average x16 across winning positions) could pay 80x or more. With multipliers reaching x8,192, the math gets explosive fast.
Special Symbols
Wild Symbol: Substitutes for any non-scatter symbol to form wins. Crucially, Wilds also apply a x2 multiplier to their cell when they contribute to winning combinations, helping to build position multipliers even faster.
xWays Symbol: Lands as a mystery symbol that reveals 2-4 identical regular symbols in a single position. Also adds x2, x4, or x8 to that position’s multiplier. The key to building massive symbol counts.
Infectious xWays: The upgraded version available in free spins. When it reveals, ALL matching symbols across the grid expand to the same size. Land one 4-high xWays symbol, and every instance of that symbol type becomes 4-high—potentially creating 20+ symbol matches from seemingly modest boards.
Bomb Symbol: Explodes adjacent symbols in a 3×3 pattern (base game) or 5×5 pattern (upgraded free spins). The explosion doubles position multipliers in the affected area. Bombs do not destroy Wild or Bonus symbols. Strategic bomb placement can set up devastating follow-up cascades.
Scatter Symbol: Three or more trigger free spins. 3 scatters = Duck Hunt Spins (7 spins), 4 scatters = Hawk Eye Spins (8 spins), 5 scatters = Big Game Spins (10 spins).
+1 Shot Symbol: During free spins, landing +1 Shot symbols awards one additional spin. With the “Extra +2 Shots” upgrade active, these become +2 Shot symbols, doubling your retrigger potential.
Slot Features
Position Multipliers
This is Duck Hunters’ core innovation and the engine driving its 30,000x max win. Every position on the 6×5 grid carries an individual multiplier that starts at x1 and doubles each time a winning symbol occupies that space during a cascade sequence.
The math gets absurd quickly: x1 → x2 → x4 → x8 → x16 → x32 → x64 → x128 → x256 → x512 → x1,024 → x2,048 → x4,096 → x8,192 (maximum). A single position hitting its maximum x8,192 multiplier can make otherwise modest symbol wins worth thousands of times your bet. Now imagine multiple positions hitting high multipliers simultaneously—that’s how you approach max win territory.
Multipliers reset at the end of each spin sequence in base game but persist across entire free spins rounds. This persistence is what makes bonus features so potentially devastating.
xWays Mechanic
xWays symbols are scatter pays’ best friend. When they land, they reveal 2-4 copies of a regular symbol in that single position, instantly boosting your symbol count. Land one 4-high xWays showing Hunters, and you’ve got 4 Hunter symbols from one position alone—making that crucial 8-symbol threshold much easier to hit.
The real magic: xWays symbols also add multiplier boosts (x2, x4, or x8) to their position. A position with an xWays landing gets its multiplier boosted AND contributes multiple symbols to potential wins. It’s efficiency doubled.
Infectious xWays
Available in free spins (and as an upgrade), Infectious xWays takes the mechanic nuclear. When an Infectious xWays symbol reveals, it “infects” ALL matching symbols on the entire grid with its expansion. Land a 4-high Infectious xWays showing Dogs, and every Dog symbol on screen becomes 4-high. If you had 5 regular Dog positions, you suddenly have 20 Dog symbols. This can create truly outrageous symbol counts that would be impossible through normal scatter pays.
Bomb Symbol
Bombs serve dual purposes: clearing symbols to create new cascade opportunities and pumping position multipliers. When a Bomb explodes, it removes adjacent symbols in a 3×3 pattern (base game) or 5×5 pattern (upgraded free spins). Crucially, the explosion doubles multipliers in all affected positions regardless of whether those positions contributed to wins.
Smart Bomb timing can transform a mediocre board into a goldmine by pre-loading position multipliers before big symbols cascade into those spaces.
Slot Bonus Features
RTP & Volatility
RTP (Return to Player)
Duck Hunters offers a default RTP of 96.05%, sitting just above the 96% industry standard. However, operators can configure lower versions at 94.03% and 92.04%. The difference between 96.05% and 92.04% represents roughly $4 extra lost per $100 wagered over time—significant for serious players.
Always verify your casino’s RTP configuration before playing. The information screen accessible from the game menu should display the active RTP percentage.
Volatility
Nolimit City rates Duck Hunters at extreme volatility—their highest classification. The 17.07% hit frequency means roughly 1 in 6 spins wins anything. Base payouts are intentionally modest because multipliers do the heavy lifting; without accumulation, returns feel underwhelming, but aligned multipliers can return hundreds or thousands of times your bet.
Recommended bankroll: 300-500x your bet size for base game; significantly more for bonus buys or Boosters.

Conclusion
Duck Hunters showcases Nolimit City’s mechanical ambition. Position multipliers climbing to x8,192 per cell aren’t marketing fluff—they’re the mathematical engine enabling 30,000x wins. Combined with Infectious xWays spreading symbol expansion grid-wide and Bombs pumping multipliers strategically, there’s genuine depth here. The Nolimit Boosters system adds unprecedented player agency, letting you start with pre-loaded multipliers up to x1,024.
That said, this slot demands respect. Extreme volatility means you’ll endure sessions where nothing connects alongside sessions where single spins return triple-digit multiples. The 30,000x max has ~1-in-22,000,000 odds—treat it as fantasy. If you’ve got 300+ spins of budget and can stomach 17.07% hit frequency, Duck Hunters delivers one of 2025’s most ambitious slot experiences. A free demo is available to test before committing real money. Just verify you’re playing the 96.05% RTP version.
FAQs
Set your bet (€0.20-€100), then spin the 6×5 grid. Land 8+ matching symbols anywhere to win—position doesn’t matter. Winning symbols cascade away, new symbols drop, and position multipliers double for each win at that location. Watch for xWays (expanding symbols), Infectious xWays (spreads to all matching symbols), and Bombs (clear areas and boost multipliers). Land 3-5 scatters to trigger free spins.
Default RTP is 96.05%, with operator-configurable versions at 94.03% and 92.04%—always verify before playing. Volatility is extreme with 17.07% hit frequency (roughly 1 in 6 spins wins). Expect significant dry spells between payouts. Budget 300-500x your bet size minimum to survive variance.
Maximum win is 30,000x your bet (€3,000,000 on a €100 bet). This cap is achieved through position multiplier accumulation—multipliers can reach x8,192 per cell. The probability of hitting max win is approximately 1 in 22,000,000 spins according to Nolimit City’s data.
Every grid position has an individual multiplier starting at x1. When a symbol at that position participates in a win, the multiplier doubles (x1→x2→x4→x8… up to x8,192 maximum). In base game, multipliers reset after each spin sequence. In free spins, multipliers persist across all spins, enabling massive accumulation.
Three direct buys: Duck Hunt Spins (70x bet, 7 spins, 1 upgrade), Hawk Eye Spins (200x bet, 8 spins, 2 upgrades), Big Game Spins (600x bet, 10 spins, all 3 upgrades). Lucky Draw (235x bet) randomly awards one of the three. Nolimit Boosters offer Day 2/64/1024 Spins with pre-loaded multipliers (2.8x to 3,000x cost).
Regular xWays symbols reveal 2-4 copies of a symbol in one position, boosting symbol counts. Infectious xWays (available in free spins) spreads this expansion to ALL matching symbols on the grid. One 4-high Infectious xWays can turn every instance of that symbol type into 4-high copies, potentially creating 20+ symbol matches.
Duck Hunters was released by Nolimit City on February 11, 2025, with exclusive early access available from February 7, 2025 at select casinos. It’s one of Nolimit City’s newest releases featuring their signature extreme volatility profile and innovative mechanics.
