Game Rules

Wild symbols substitute for any payout symbol. A winning combination consisting solely of Wild symbols pays out according to the symbol with the highest payout.

Quackers features an Avalanche mechanism. This means that at the end of each win, a payout is assessed, during which all winning combinations are collected and removed from the field. The remaining symbols move vertically until they stop. New symbols fall into the vacated spaces. Avalanche continues as long as new winning combinations appear.

Quackers has a global multiplier that multiplies every win by its current value.

The Ducks

Pressing the Spin button resets the global multiplier to x1. Quackers features four different ducks with unique abilities that are triggered before each win.

In normal mode, each duck can activate its ability up to three times. In normal mode, each duck can activate its ability a limited number of times, as indicated by the symbol’s ability indicator. In normal mode, each duck has an indicator that displays the number of times its ability has been activated.

If the ability is triggered three times during a regular spin, the duck is removed from the game board and replaced by a Wild symbol. While the bonus game is pending, the ducks do not activate their functions.

In the bonus mode, the ducks’ abilities can be triggered an unlimited number of times. During the bonus mode, the ducks are not removed from the game board until the end of the mode.

Up to four ducks can be on the game board at a time, provided they are all of a different type.

• The Pilot Duck wears a leather pilot’s jacket and, when activated, increases the global multiplier.
• The Bomber Duck has a scruffy appearance, holds a stick of dynamite, and transforms paying symbols into Wilds.
• The Princess Duck wears a silver headpiece and transforms all paying symbols of the same type into higher-paying ones. If this duck selects the highest-paying symbol, it and all other matching symbols on the field will turn Wild.
• The Marilyn Duck wears a string of pearls around her neck and either adds a multiplier to paying symbols or increases the current one.

The Coin Game

When a coin symbol lands on the field, it is entered into a coin meter. Each collected coin symbol is sent to the coin meter. The coin meter’s state is saved and remains constant even between game sessions. Collecting 20 symbols triggers the coin game. The average probability of landing a coin in Quackers varies for each coin.

The Coin game takes place on a 6-row, 6-column grid, where each symbol position has its own mini-reel. The Coin game begins with the spinning of all mini-reels on the grid. The Coin game uses a separate set of symbols.

• Coins. Each coin dropped is worth the number shown on it.

• Chests. Each dropped chest collects the values ​​of all coin and chest symbols currently on the game board and adds their sum to its value.
• Multiplier Booster. The Multiplier Booster at the end of a coin game adds a multiplier to any of the eight adjacent symbols, if it is a coin or chest symbol. If the symbol position already has a multiplier, the existing multiplier is multiplied by the new multiplier.
• Seaweed. The seaweed symbol has no effect on the outcome.

The coin game features a life counter with three hearts. Each spin costs one heart from the counter. During the coin game, the counter refills to three hearts if at least one feature symbol lands on the field. During the spin, only the positions where seaweed lands are recycled.

If the heart meter empties after a spin, the coin game ends and the win calculation begins. If all positions on the game board are occupied by feature symbols, the coin game ends and the win calculation begins. The win is equal to the sum of the values ​​of all coin and chest symbols, each individually multiplied by its symbol multiplier and then by the current bet level.

Bonus Game

Three bonus symbols activate the Quack Drops bonus game with 5 Quack Drops. The bonus game takes place on a reel with 8 rows and 8 columns, with 4 fixed positions for the ducks to appear. The ducks don’t land in fixed positions, but rather move to them after a spin. During the bonus mode, the ducks remain on the reel. There is no limit to the number of times each duck’s ability can be activated in the bonus mode.

Super Bonus Game

If at least one of the three bonus symbols is a Super Bonus symbol, a Super Bonus game with 5 Quack Drops spins is triggered. At the start of the Super Bonus game, each of the four ducks sits in its fixed position on the reels. The Quack Drops bonus game ends when there are no more Quack Drops or when the maximum win is reached.
