Leading iGaming content provider BGaming is spreading holiday cheer with its quirky and engaging slot release, Lucky Ducky X-Mas Edition.
Inspired by the charm of premium rubber duck stores, this festive slot introduces players to a fun, winter-themed adventure featuring BGaming’s signature MergeUp™ mechanic, Free Spins with multipliers up to x128, and bonus features designed to keep players entertained well into the new year.
Although the festive version launches in time for Christmas, BGaming has revealed that starting January 15th, a non-seasonal version of the game will become available, ensuring players can enjoy the slot beyond the holidays.
Gameplay That Quacks With Excitement
Lucky Ducky X-Mas Edition combines bright, summery visuals with festive winter elements, making for a unique and engaging experience. Rows of colourful rubber ducks adorned with hats and crowns dominate the reels, evoking a light-hearted atmosphere.
However, when the Free Spins mode is activated, the setting transforms as snow begins to fall, and twinkling Christmas lights create a cosy, magical backdrop.
The game’s standout MergeUp™ cluster pays mechanic (patent pending) adds layers of excitement and progression. Combinations of four or more matching ducks merge into higher-level ducks after the payout, with the potential for chain reaction wins.
There are nine symbol levels, and the win value depends on both the level of the merged ducks and their quantity, offering players an evolving gameplay experience.
Free Spins & Multipliers Up to x128
The holiday magic truly shines in the Free Spins round. Scatter symbols appear after the 8th level of merging as King Duck clusters. Landing four or more Scatters triggers a round of 15, 18, or 20 Free Spins, depending on the number of Scatters.
During Free Spins, winning cells are marked with sticky x2 multipliers, which grow with every subsequent win in the same cell. Multipliers can increase dramatically, reaching a staggering x128 value for truly massive payouts. Players also have the chance to retrigger the Bonus Game by landing 4, 5, or 6 Scatters, which add an additional 5, 8, or 10 Free Spins, respectively.
Bonus Features for Festive Wins
To enhance the excitement, BGaming has incorporated both a Buy Bonus and a Chance x2 feature:
The Buy Bonus option allows players to purchase immediate access to the Free Spins round at a price adjusted to their bet amount.
The Chance x2 feature increases the bet slightly while doubling the chance of triggering the Bonus Game naturally.
With a maximum multiplier of x5,000 and an impressive RTP of 97.25%, Lucky Ducky X-Mas Edition promises thrilling potential returns for players looking to celebrate the season in style.
BGaming’s Take on the Festive Slot
Nikita Zavadsky, Custom Games Product Manager at BGaming, shared his excitement about the release, "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.”
