Slots Review: Quackers, Extra Money and Rodney Dangerfield's Reel Respect

1) Quackers: WMS.

3-4 spins. 84-95%

Let's go duck hunting, the harmless way. This version of the hunt shoots plungers to snag the ducks up above and has both free spin and a second screen duck hunt. Once three or more Flier Ducks, dressed as a World War 2 pilots, are scattered on the screen, the player must choose one of them to receive free spins that can be paired with a multiplier. The Flier Duck flies to one of the reels to lock all positions on that reel as wild symbols then a respin and collect your rewards. While spinning, the duck will disappear and return over another reel to repeat the process until all free spins are gone. The main bonus round is triggered by three or more duck caller symbols on an active payline. Three carton hunters appear armed with plunger guns. Your choice of hunter will reveal the number of plungers to shoot the ducks above. When a hit is made, the duck reveals a bonus credit. Sometimes, a gift box tied to a balloon will float above. If the plunger hits the gift box, there are added plungers or if Plunge- o- Matic appears, the extra plungers could be as many as 15 to add to your 'quiver'. Happy Hunting.

2) Extra Money: Bally.

6-7 spins. 96-97%

Three versions of this reel spinner are available and all must be played with max coins for max payouts. They are categorized as one 2- coin and one 3-coin single paylines, plus one 5-coin, five paylines. All paytables include bar and 7 combinations plus one extra symbol of Extra Money. This is where it gets interesting as three of these begin a random mystery jackpot ranging from 10 coins up to 5000 coins for the five-line version. One of the unique features of the five-line version is that the hit frequency does not increase over the single payline versions. Although the hit frequency is higher for the single line versions, the larger 7 combinations pay much higher for the five- liner. Therefore, all three should be on your list as the bonus symbol pays out approximately every 64 spins and who couldn't use some Extra Money?

3) Rodney Dangerfield's Reel Respect: IGT.

2 spins. 88-89%

One of the most beloved comedians can be remembered and heard with this fun progressive slot. There are two bonus events. Three or more No Respect symbols on a payline begins a 15 free spin run and any time during this period that you do not win, the multiplier value increases towards the total reward. You can actually Win while Losing here. When three or more Rodney's Mug symbols appear of his adorable face, the second screen round begins where you choose which Mug is yours for credits and receive his famous one-liners. This one' s worth the laughs and 'mugging'.
