Ducks Till Dawn

If you are a fan of Tarantino and his 1996 masterpiece From Dusk Till Dawn, then just by taking a look at this online game's title, you could guess the main inspiration behind it.

But, do not be fooled by thinking you know exactly what you could expect upon loading it, as instead of facing blood-sucking vampires, you will get to meet some spooky patched-up toys and balloon animals!

Kalamba Games team has created an online slot machine with 4096 bet ways, features like Free Spins and up to x200 Multiplier, as well as a maximum potential prize of 15595x the stake!

Theme and Symbols

This online release takes place in a mysterious fairground full of creepy dolls and stuffed animals, while the adventure is followed by a perfectly fitting soundtrack that adds to the overall atmosphere.

Upon loading the game, you will find yourself inside of a tent, more precisely a stall where you get to shoot at targets and win tickets of various stuffed animals, however, though the background image appears to have been well designed, you don't get to see much of it.

The reels are placed across a stage, lined completely in wood, while on them you will find symbols such as tickets, crystal ball gazing, beat-up old dolls, and stuffed monkeys.

To the right, you will see the multiplier gauge, while above the grid, there are two meters that collect free spins.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Before you enter this spooky fairground straight from the comfort of your own home, you will need to set your bets that range from $0.60 to $60 per spin.

Besides, another fact that will appeal to all types of punters is the game's medium/high variance, as well as the slightly above-average RTP percentage of 96.91%.

The action takes place across 6 reels and 4 rows, while you will get 4096 pay lines.

The lowest-rewarding symbols are the playing card symbols from 9to A, followed by dog balloons, stuffed monkeys, bears and dolls, as six of a kind wins from the last one are worth 5x the stake. 

The guy holding a crystal ball is the Wild symbol that acts as a substitute for other regular symbols except for the bonus, duck and crosshair symbols and it appears on the reels 2,3, 4 and 5. 

Special Features

The central action of this online game from Kalamba Games game list is the Cash Duck system, as while spinning the reels, you’ll notice little duck symbols moving across the screen beneath the paying symbols. 

Now, you will need a crosshair symbol to land on top of a duck for that duck to award you a bonus prize!

But, should you manage to shoot down more than one duck on the same spin, a multiplier will be applied to the winning total, starting from x2 and going up to an impressive x200 respectively!

Now, we have already mentioned the spin boost meters on top of the reels represented by the blue and red crystal balls.

As you spin the reels, each bonus meter charges to offer you more spins and both of them could only go up to 15 free spins each.

In order to trigger the corresponding Free Spins round, you will need at least three red or blue bonus symbols anywhere on your screen. 

But wait, there's more!

During these extra spins, the crosshairs symbol comes with an additional multiplier attached to it – up to x5 in bonus 1, or x10 in bonus 2.

So, you can multiply each of your winning spins twice in some situations!

Plus, if you manage to land three more Scatters again at the same time, you will get from 5 to 15 extra spins!

Lastly, the creative team of devs has given you a chance to purchase the bonus round thanks to their Hyperbonus feature, by choosing either 7, 10, 15 or 20 free spins, and this will cost you 38.5x, 67x, 114.25x or 161.66x your stake, respectively.

Verdict

One thing is sure, Ducks Till Dawn boasts many interesting, and maybe confusing things about itself, the same as most of Tarantino's movies.

However, in the end, it all comes down to an overall high-quality product, and that's, in this case, an online slot machine with an interesting theme, spooky, but beautifully-executed graphics and symbols, nice pack of features and...

...the maximum potential of 15595x the stake!
