Scruffy Duck Slot – Free Demo
Provider:
NetEnt
The trigger says nothing about how long the round will last: three Free Spins symbols on reels 3, 4 or 5 start it, and NetEnt then draws one of five features, which sets the count anywhere between six spins and fifteen.

A wild that expands only when the expansion pays
The wild in Scruffy Duck is an Expanding Wild, and should it appear, it will expand to cover the entire reel it lands on, but only when that produces a bet line win. It substitutes for every symbol except the Free Spins symbol. This wild is live in the base game and in the Free Spins round alike. Wins landed on 88 of the 340 spins in the session logged here, and 51 of those paid less than the stake.
Three Free Spins symbols, five ways the round can go
Examining the Free Spins symbol of Scruffy Duck, this one is able to appear on reels 3, 4 and 5 in the main game, and when three of them appear, they will trigger the game’s Free Spins feature. The three can land anywhere across those reels rather than on a bet line. The number of spins awarded is linked to one of five distinct features. In the 340 spins recorded here the round arrived once, on spin 4. Only one is triggered per round, and these are available in the following formats:
- 15 Free Spins with the Multiplier feature
- 12 Free Spins with Symbol Removal
- 10 Free Spins with the Colossal Wild
- 8 Free Spins with the Random Wild
- 6 Free Spins with the Double feature
The Colossal Wild and the Random Wild are available on top of the Expanding Wild during the Free Spins round. That leaves three separate wild types live at once inside the feature. None of them will stand in for the Free Spins symbol. The single bonus in the session paid 930.00, or 124 times the stake, and accounted for 29% of everything won.
The photographer duck at the top of a 25-line table
The theme of this online slot isn’t the first to be discovered in a game. Only the highest win on each bet line is paid. There are 25 fixed bet lines paying from left to right, and bets are constructed from a coin value multiplied by a level, with 25 coins staked per level. A coin value of 0.10 at level 3 comes to a 7.50 stake, which is what the 340 spins logged here were played at. It’s the photographer duck that serves as its highest paying standard symbol, paying 400 coins for a 5 of a kind combination. The longest stretch without any win in that session ran to 21 spins, ending on spin 211.
The Minty Take: One Free Spins round in 340 spins paid 930.00 against a 7.50 stake, 29% of everything the session won, and the feature draw that sizes it runs from six spins to fifteen without the player touching it. Two triggers at the same stake need not resemble each other.
The session came back at 124.6%
It comes with a max win of up to 1,200 times the stake, and the theoretical RTP is 96.38%. Across the session 2,550.00 was staked and 3,177.00 came back, a return of 124.6%, with the balance moving between a low of 661.75 and a peak of 2,026.75 on spin 260.
What NetEnt shipped around Scruffy Duck
NetEnt has launched a line of slots either side of Scruffy Duck such as Wolf Cub and Koi Princess, and Scruffy still ranks as one of the odder games of them all.
