Scruffy Duck Mobile Slot Review

Play Now

Most adults have grown up at least hearing about the Ugly Duckling story, an old fairytale in which the small duck eventually grows up into a beautiful swan. We already know NetEnt is not above tapping into nostalgia to make a successful slot, and a modern remake of the old tale has given us Scruffy Duck, a 5 reel, 25 payline game designed to capture the imagination. Set by the pond, this slot offers a myriad of varied bonuses for those lucky enough to activate them, and on top of that, we are given the treat of Expanding Wilds.

The game has a mixture of standard gambling icons and unique symbols. J, Q, K and A are delightfully disguised as broken eggs and offer the lower paying tier of icons, while the duck family pays a bit more, and each of them has a rather distinct look to them, reimagined for a more twenty-first century approach.

Wilds are represented by a yellow duckling with glasses, the protagonist of our story. It has no cash bonus associated with it, and it can replace any icon except for Scatters on the grid, but it does come with an Expanding Wild feature. When that happens, he blossoms into a gorgeous white swan, and covers an entire row.

Scatters can only appear on the third, fourth and fifth reel, and their only function is triggering the free spins bonus. That said, each time the extra rounds are active, they bring another special feature alongside them. Extra multipliers, removing symbols, colossal or random Wilds, or even two bonuses at once!

How to Play Scruffy Duck

The graphics for this slot are simple, yet effective. The appearance of all the family members are heavily stereotyped, yet it is a short and effective way of briefly introducing the characters, and it helps sell an almost cartoonish feel to the game. Scruffy Duck also has some wonderful animations, especially the one in which the duckling turns into a swan.

With 5 reels and 25 paylines, the slot should feel familiar to gamblers, and with a betting range from $0.25 up to $250, it should satisfy the needs of both casual players and high rollers alike. In our opinion, the reels spin quickly enough, but you can speed them up even further through the options menu, where you can also turn off the music if it’s not to your tastes.

Jackpots & Progressives

Scruffy Duck is a very interesting game, but it is hardly a slot people will want to play if they are hoping for large wins. While the unique theme helps sell the game, and will undoubtedly attract some casual players to NetEnt’s release, the fact that the maximum single win is 400x your total wager will undoubtedly throw off profit-orientated gamblers.

Add to that a lack of a progressive jackpot to incentivize people to keep playing and a generally lackluster jackpot of $300,000 for which you need to pay $250 per spin to even have a shot at, and you can see how the slot fails to entice the high roller crowd.

Bonus Games & Sign-ups

Three Scatters at the same time will award you the free spins bonus. The amount of extra rounds you get is random, as is the additional bonus you can receive.

The first is the Multiplier special feature. It awards the player 15 free spins and increases all your wins by 3x.

After that, we have symbol removal. This particular bonus will remove all the egg-shaped icons, leaving you with a reel full of higher paying symbols for 12 extra rounds.

Colossal Wilds grant you 10 free spins, and as the name implies, create the possibility of a massive Wild icon to appear on the second, third or fourth reel. Once part of a winning combo, they split into single Wilds.

Random Wilds award the gambler 8 extra rounds, and spawns between 2 to 5 Wilds somewhere on the grid with each reel spin. The downside to this bonus, however, is that these Wilds cannot expand.

Finally, the double bonus can activate two special features at once, allowing for some terrifying combinations that can bring in a lot of money at once. The choice of bonuses is random, and you only get 6 free spins to balance it out.
