Scruffy Duck

NetEnt presents its online slot Scruffy Duck a free adaptation of the classic tale "The Ugly Duckling". It was launched in May 2017 for all casinos after being exclusive for a few months, as happens with many games from large providers such as NetEnt. It is a cartoon-style slot, very cheerful and colorful. And with a carefree melody that fits perfectly. We are in a quiet pond, where you can see frogs, beautiful lily pads and a funny dragonfly that occasionally flies over the screen.

Among the reels you will see all kinds of humanized duck, an executive duck with his mobile and bow tie, a girl with glasses and long eyelashes, the rapper, a duckling eating a candy. And the ugly duckling? Is he somewhere? Well yes, it is an expanding wild symbol, when it appears and occupies only one position it is the ugly duckling and when it expands it becomes a swan occupying the entire drum. NetEnt always knows how to get the humor out and here it has nailed it.

If you are a player who enjoys special features and free spins, the Scruffy Duck slot machine has prepared for you a huge selection of surprises and fun: Stacked Symbols, Expanding Wild, Multipliers, Colossal Wild, Random Wilds...

Scruffy Duck is a machine online slots with 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines, counting from the first column on the left to the right. The minimum bet you can place is $0.25 and the maximum bet is $250. As with most NetEnt slot machines, you can adjust the bet to your liking using the bet level and coin value options. The return to player percentage is 96.38% (RTP).

There are two sets of standard symbols. The lowest set consists of the symbols J, Q, K and A equivalent to the poker game and drawn inside an eggshell. The value increases from 40 to 70 coins by getting a payline with 5 symbols. The highest set consists of the duck characters that we already discussed above. The value increases from 150 to 400 coins on a payline with 5 symbols. In both the main game and the free spins the symbols can appear as stacked symbols and covering an entire reel with the same symbol.

The Free Spin symbol is the scatter symbol of the game and will be responsible for getting the free spins round activated. We will go into detail later.
We also have an Expanding Wild symbol that can appear both in the main game and in the free spins and can replace all symbols except the Free Spins symbol. As we have already commented, this symbol contains the essence of the Scruffy Duck story. When he appears, he is the ugly duckling and when he spreads out he turns into a stylized swan with a long neck.

This great round of free spins can be activated if we manage to accumulate at least 3 Free Spins symbols in any position on reels 3, 4 and 5 of the main game.
To increase the fun, first there will be a screen full of ducklings similar to the traditional fair stalls. Each one hides a special function and from all of us we will have to choose one. During the free spins round, only the feature that marks the duckling that we have chosen will be applied. In addition, each feature is assigned a certain number of free spins.
During the free spins round we will not be able to win additional new Free Spins.
The 5 special functions that the ducklings hide are as follows:
* Multiplier function (15 free spins). During the entire free spins round the winnings are multiplied by 3.
* Symbol Removal feature (12 free spins). No low-value symbols will appear during the entire round.
* Colossal Wild (10 free spins). The Colossal Wild symbol is a wild symbol that will measure more than usual occupying 2 x 2 or 3 x 3 and will continue to fulfill its usual function. It can only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4.
* Doubles (6 free spins). Two functions will be activated at once from the remaining four. The two functions can be chosen randomly.
* Random Wilds (8 free spins). If you get this feature in each round of free spins between 2 and 5 Random Wilds will randomly appear on the reels. If the Random wild lands on an Expanding Wild and it is going to give a prize line, it will continue to expand. If it is not going to give any prize it will not be transformed and the random Wild will remain. Random Wilds can never be superimposed on a Colossal Wild.
