Duck Shots

Duck Shots: Big Ducking Wings' Core Hunting Format

Duck Shots is the flagship-feeling entry in Big Ducking Wings' duck-hunting catalogue, and the name says it plainly — this is a shooting-style instant game rather than a traditional slot with reels and paylines. Players take aim at ducks crossing the screen, with payouts scaling according to which targets are hit, following the same arcade-shooter format that's become something of a genre in its own right on modern casino platforms.

Theme and Presentation

Where sibling releases like Duck Pond soften the concept with a calmer setting, Duck Shots leans into the hunting framing directly, presumably featuring a proper shooting range or open hunting ground rather than a still pond. It's positioned as the more straightforward, no-frills version of the format within the Big Ducking Wings range — the base recipe that other entries in the studio's catalogue (the Christmas Edition, Deadwood and others) then reskin and build on top of.

Understanding the RTP

Duck Shots carries a confirmed return to player of 96.1%, a genuinely solid figure that comfortably clears the 96% mark many players treat as a fairness benchmark. Over a long enough run, that means around £96.10 returns to players for every £100 wagered, leaving just a 3.9% house edge. That's a noticeably better number than its Duck Pond sibling, making Duck Shots arguably the stronger long-run pick within the family if RTP is your main priority.

Volatility and How It Plays

No official volatility rating has been published for Duck Shots, though the shooting-and-target format typically distributes payouts across a range of duck types, with premium targets (often a distinctly coloured or "golden" duck, as seen in comparable titles) paying out disproportionately more than standard hits. That's a general pattern for this genre rather than a confirmed detail specific to this release, so treat it as context rather than gospel until Big Ducking Wings publishes an official spec.
