Unlikely festive hero rules the reels in BGaming’s Lucky Ducky X-Mas Edition

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming takes the concept of the ever-popular premium rubber duck stores and swings open the doors to its own slot version in Lucky Ducky X-Mas Edition. This quacky festive title features the popular MergeUp™(patent pending) mechanic with nine levels, Free Spins with multipliers up to x128, and both the Buy Bonus and Chance x2 buttons. January 15th, soon after the holiday season wraps up, the game will come out with a basic skin to let players enjoy the entertaining slot beyond the festivities.
Dozens of brightly coloured ducks with different hats and crowns sit on the reels, evoking an initial feeling of summer in this very-high-volatility release. When the Free Spins mode is triggered, it begins to snow and Christmas lights glisten to create a cosy setting.
The MergeUp™ cluster pays mechanics (patent pending) sees combinations of four or more matching duckies transform into ducks of a higher level after the payout. On top of the visual effects and engaging progression, chain reaction payouts open the gate to even higher symbols. There are nine symbol levels, and the win amount depends on the level of merging symbols, as well as their quantity.
The Scatter symbols can appear after the 8th level of merging as King Duck clusters. If four or more Scatters land on the reels, a round of 15, 18, or 20 Free Spins is triggered. Winning cells are then marked by sticky x2 multipliers that add up with every following win in the same cell. Each marked cell is then awarded a future x2 multiplier when further clusters are made, with the potential to reach up to x128 in value. If 4, 5, or 6 Scatters appear in one spin of the Bonus Game, a further 5, 8 or 10 Free Spins are added.
The Buy Bonus allows players to buy a round of Free Spins at the displayed price, which adjusts depending on the bet amount. The next spin after the purchase triggers the Bonus Game. The Chance x2 feature slightly increases the bet and doubles the chance of activating the Bonus Game.
With a x5,000 max multiplier and 97.25% RTP, Lucky Ducky X-Mas Edition promises a Christmas shopping trip like no other.
Nikita Zavadsky, Custom Games Product Manager at BGaming, said: “Lucky Ducky X-Mas Edition combines our popular MergeUp™ mechanic with the familiar soundtrack of ‘Jingle Bells’ and comforting day-to-night winter graphics.
“As Christmas approaches, we hope players enjoy the light-hearted and fun rubber duck theme and its easy-to-follow elements often seen in mobile gaming. More than a year after its launch, MergeUp™ continues to delight players worldwide.”

Clarion’s Stuart Hunter completes the ‘Spartan Beast’ raising vital funds for gambling industry charity
Clarion Gaming Managing Director Stuart Hunter has completed one of the most challenging endurance races open to amateur athletes tackling the 21km (13.1 mile) 30 obstacle Spartan Beast trail course and in the process raising crucial funds for the gambling industry charity CHIPS.
Stuart, who completed the ‘Beast’ in a highly respectable time of 3hrs 51 minutes, raised over £4,000 for the children’s charity which provides powered wheelchairs for youngsters with profound mobility issues.
Reflecting on the challenge which involved a variety of punishing obstacles including a 100m barbed wire crawl and the Tyrolean Traverse which involves hanging upside down for an extended period he said: “The ‘appeal’ of taking on an event such as the Spartan Beast is that it takes you to your physical and mental limits.
“As well as being physically fit and injury free you also need a positive mental space and mindset to push through 13 miles stopping at over 30 strength tests along the way.
“Running for a really brilliant charity such as CHIPS which was formed by members of the gambling industry helped me turn the challenge of completing the Spartan into a force for good and reinforced the positivity that’s so important when you step so far out of your comfort zone.
“I would like to say a massive thank-you to everyone in the international industry who has contributed so generously to my fundraising. Each powered wheelchair funded by CHIPS costs in the region of £6,000 – I have some way to go to get that sum over the line and as a result transform the life of a youngster.”
