Extra Shot symbols add one spin, or two with the Extra +2 Shots upgrade. Only those additions count as extensions; an eight-spin start is a larger opening award, not an extension of a seven-spin one. Initial awards were 47 seven-spin and one eight-spin natural entries, and 48 seven-spin and two eight-spin purchased entries.

One ticket equals 70 ordinary stakes. Natural bonuses occurred once per 208 paid rounds in this sample. Stakes multiplied by this interval measure gross wagering, not the net cost of obtaining a bonus. Purchase returns above include the complete purchased round and are divided by the ticket price.

How it plays
23 rules screens from the game
Eight matching symbols can pay from anywhere on the six-by-five field; adjacency and a left-to-right line are unnecessary. Wilds join paying symbol counts but cannot replace Bonus symbols. Winning symbols disappear, and replacements fall into those positions to continue the same paid round.
After a win, an unmodified position retains x2 for the next drop; an existing position multiplier doubles, up to x8192. A paying combination adds its occupied position multipliers above x1 before they scale that symbol's paytable award. xWays can reveal an ordinary symbol with a x2, x4 or x8 position factor before evaluation, while Infectious xWays also expands matching symbols into the selected size. Bombs clear adjacent paying symbols in a three-by-three area and double the affected position multipliers, leaving Wilds and Bonus symbols intact.
The Duck Hunt entry requires three Bonus symbols and awards seven spins with one random upgrade. Four start eight Hawk Eye Spins with two upgrades, while five start ten Big Game Spins with all three. The possible upgrades are Infectious xWays, a five-by-five Bomb and Extra +2 Shots in place of Extra +1 Shot. Position multipliers remain throughout the feature, and the Extra Shot symbols can extend its length.
Duck Hunt, Hawk Eye and Big Game entries cost 70x, 200x and 600x the underlying stake. The 235x Lucky Draw ticket awards Duck Hunt Spins half the time and Hawk Eye or Big Game Spins a quarter of the time each. Paid Nolimit Boosters change ordinary play; none belongs to either measured sample here. A separate, optional Extra Spin offer can preserve the current grid's multipliers for a variable price, and every such offer was declined.
The ordinary-game theoretical RTP is 96.05%; a Duck Hunt ticket has its own 95.87% profile. Nolimit City rates its volatility 10.0, Extreme, accepts EUR 0.20–100 base stakes and limits the complete round to 30,000x the base stake. Its simulated maximum frequency is one in 22 million rounds; reaching that cap ends any remaining play in the round.

Verdict
One base-game cell reached x1024Round 7002 paid EUR 294.60 from a EUR 1 stake without a feature, more than the best complete natural-feature round, which paid EUR 249.60. Most rounds looked very different: 8,208 of the 10,000 returned zero, and the longest uninterrupted run of blank results lasted 51 rounds.
The separate purchase series finished EUR 335.95 ahead after EUR 3,500 in tickets, even though 41 of its 50 payouts fell below the EUR 70 price. Its median return was EUR 24.75, or 0.354x the purchase price, beside a mean of 1.096x. Ticket 16 supplied EUR 1,109.40, including EUR 1,080 from one blue-cap hunter combination; without that ticket, the other 49 returned 0.795x their price.
Round 7002 shows how the base game built its peak. Nine blue-cap hunters had a paytable value of just EUR 0.15, but their occupied position multipliers were 32, 1024, 4, 2, 8, 8, 2, 4 and 4: a sum of x1088, producing EUR 163.20. That single cascade award took the running payout from EUR 104.60 to EUR 267.80, before three further paying drops completed the round. The large payment came from adding the participating cells, not from a free-spin upgrade.
- In round 7002 of the unboosted base game, a single x1024 position helped nine blue-cap hunters reach a combined x1088
- Free Extra Shot symbols lengthened 30 of the 48 natural features
- A EUR 70 ticket can enter with eight spins and two upgrades: purchases 20 and 40 did so without buying the EUR 200 option
- Just 17.92% of the 10,000 ordinary rounds returned any payout
- Between natural triggers 226 and 1023, 796 rounds passed without a feature
- The weakest EUR 70 ticket returned EUR 3.90 after eight spins
- Fifteen of the 50 EUR 70 tickets received no extra spins and ended at their starting seven or eight

FAQ
7 questions · answered from the logDo all of the grid multipliers count towards a win?
No. Only the positions occupied by the paying combination contribute, and only values above x1 are added. In ordinary round 6814, thirteen cigar hunters carried position values of 1, 1, 2, 4, 2, 2, 4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 8 and 8. Ignoring the x1 cells leaves x32, which multiplied their EUR 5 paytable award into EUR 160.
Which Duck Hunters RTP applies to this test?
Ordinary play used the 96.05% theoretical profile, without paid boosters, and measured 91.51% across 10,000 EUR 1 rounds. The approximate 95% confidence interval, 76.45%–106.56%, uses a normal approximation to express uncertainty around the sample mean. It supplies neither a forecast for a later session nor evidence of fairness. The EUR 70 Duck Hunt purchase uses a separate theoretical RTP of 95.87%.
Does a bonus every 208 rounds mean it costs EUR 208 to reach one?
No. Across 10,000 ordinary rounds, 48 natural triggers gave an average interval of 208.33 rounds. At EUR 1 per round, EUR 208.33 is gross wagering per observed trigger; it is not net acquisition cost, because the calculation does not subtract payouts received while waiting.
Can a EUR 70 ticket begin with eight free spins?
Yes. A Duck Hunt purchase guarantees the three-Bonus entry, but tickets 20 and 40 reached four Bonus symbols and began with eight spins plus two upgrades. The other 48 purchases began with seven. Verified Extra Shot additions then extended 35 of the 50 features by 104 spins in total; the larger initial awards are excluded from that extension count.
Did the longest purchased feature pay the most?
No. Ticket 25 lasted the longest, 17 spins, but paid EUR 94.40 in total. The largest purchased result instead came from ticket 16: eleven spins and EUR 1,109.40 including its triggering play, equivalent to 15.849x the EUR 70 ticket price. Feature length alone did not rank these payouts.
Were the optional Extra Spin offers included?
No. All 257 offers during ordinary play and all 37 after purchased features were declined, so no optional Extra Spin stake enters either return calculation. This paid continuation preserves the position multipliers and has a variable price; it is separate from the free Extra Shot symbols that extended 30 of the 48 natural features.
Should you buy Duck Hunt Spins for EUR 70?
Not for a typical ticket. The 50 purchases returned EUR 3,835.95 for EUR 3,500, yet 41 paid less than EUR 70 and half of all tickets returned EUR 24.75 or less, 0.354x the price. Ticket 16 alone paid EUR 1,109.40, which is what lifted the series above its cost. The rules give this purchase a theoretical RTP of 95.87%.
