Recently, Relax Gaming seems to have developed a thing for feathered creatures. In less than 2 months, the game provider designed and released two games whose central character is a feathered creature.

 In this particular game, which goes by the name Quackin’ Reels (released 24 September 2024), players get to meet Howard the Duck, while in the other game, which goes by the name Feather Fury, players encounter a fiery chicken ready to give it all inside the boxing ring.

The protagonist in this slot, Howard the Duck, is quite a popular character in the Guardians of the Galaxy series. Thanks to his popularity in the series, Howard the Duck also has a self-titled movie. Thanks to Relax Gaming, Howard has his own ‘branded’ slot machine.

 Inside Howard the Duck’s world, players find themselves sipping cold beers in an American suburban city. If this is something you love, stay with us as we relay more details on how to start playing this game. 

The Quackin’ Reels slot uses a classic retro-styled template. Owing to this, it comes with a minimalist 3 x 3 reel format with five pay lines. When spinning the reels, players aim to line up three identical symbols from the leftmost reel. Doing this guarantees a handsome payout.

There is a delicate balance between the frequency of landing winning combinations and the size of the payouts awarded as the game features in the medium volatility range. 

Before players can start spinning the reels, they have the chance to adjust a few game settings according to their preferences. It’s recommended that players check the default settings and possibly tweak them so that everything aligns with their bankroll management and playing strategy. The settings to check out include:

• Autoplay Feature: It’s possible to take a back seat during the gaming session and spin the reels automatically for up to 1000 auto spins. 
• Bet Options: Players can choose their desired betting amount from an extensive range, from a minimum of 0.10 coins to a maximum of 100.00 coins. 

Quackin’ Reels slot comes with a combination of standard symbols and a special symbol. Below is a rundown of these symbols:

• Standard Icons: The standard symbols fetch pay table payout values when matched in sets of three. Namely, these include the whisky, an AK machine gun, a toy car, a rooster character, a giant character, and, of course, Howard the Duck.
  
• Token Symbol: The token symbol is represented by a badge icon. When token symbols land in every position of a pay line, the sum of the token symbol values multiplied by bet size is awarded as the pay line win.

• Respins Feature: This feature triggers when players land a stack of the same symbol on a reel. All triggering symbols turn sticky during the respin. For as long as new instances of the triggering icons appear on each respin, more respins come the player’s way.

• Multiplier Respins Feature: At the end of the Respins Feature, if instances of the same symbol fill all reel positions, the Multiplier Respins Feature triggers. Upon activation of the feature, multiplier symbols will land on top of the locked symbols from the Respins feature. If a new multiplier symbol lands another respin is awarded. All multipliers are combined and applied to the total win when the feature ends.

I found the Quackin’ Reels slot to be an exciting game to play mainly because of its theme and also:

• The high-resolution graphics used in designing the game make the game highly immersive.
   
• Possible max payout pegged at 8,850x the bet.
