How To Play Scruffy Duck Mobile Slot
The ugly duckling tale gets a NetEnt twist in this Scruffy Duck Mobile slots full of wilds.
When we first loaded this as an iPad slot (though it also works perfectly well on Android, we should add), we had to double check that this really was a NetEnt machine.
We haven’t seen graphics this poor since the dawn of this studio’s portfolio, when they were bringing out slots like Victorious and Blood Suckers.
Great mechanics, but nothing in comparison to some of the beautiful and imaginative slot themes they’ve done since then.
Scruffy Duck slot fall exactly in that category
It’s not that the theme is particularly bad, it’s just that with the cartoony duck family and pastel colours it looks a little… simple? It just doesn’t quite spark the imagination in the way that Gonzo’s Quest did, for example.
Don’t get us wrong, the likes of IGT and WMS bring out far more generic themes on a monthly basis, so NetEnt are allowed the occasional pitfall.
Especially that, if you don’t mind the cookie box theme, you’ll actually find some great features hiding over these 25 payline slot.
5 different bonus features
The base game has some fun wins, thanks in part to the ugly duckling wild that expand to cover the reels as a beautiful swan.
Get a couple of those on the reels, and you might forget that you’re really looking to find the free spins bonus games.
Thank-fully you don’t have to wait long to get these – anything from 50 to 100 spins we found.
And when you do, you get up to 5 different features, including colosal wild symbols that fill the 3 centre reels, multipliers up to 3x your win, and only high paying symbols show up on screen.
This Scruffy Duck ain’t so scruffy after all
It might not be the most beautiful NetEnt slot online. But you can’t deny that the features certainly make this mobile casino game attractive.
Because whilst the wins might not be as huge as games like the Dead or Alive slot, for example, they come pretty constantly, and the free spin round has offered us some 100x our bet or more.
If you’re the kind of player who prefer substance over beauty, this Scruffy Duck slot machine has the perfect mix of fun features and frequent action.

Scruffy Duck Bonus Features
Expanding Wild: The little yellow duck with the classes (The titular Scruffy Duck is our guess) is the wild symbol. And when he shows up expands to cover the whole reel.
Stacked High Paying Symbols: All the ducks are stacked 2 or 3 high across all the reels.
Free Spin Features: Get 3 free spin scatter symbols anywhere on screen and you'll trigger a second screen bonus where you'll pick from a number of ducks.
These will randomly award you with:
- 15 free spins with 3x multiplier
- 12 free spins where all the low paying symbols are removed
- 10 free spins with a colossal wild (a symbol that could potentially cover reels 2, 3 and 4) could be found on any spin
- 8 free spins with anything from 3 to 5 random wilds added to the screen
- By far the best of the lot; you get 6 free spins where you'll get any two of the features above (ie. 3x multiplier, with colossal wild).
In our experience the multiplier is the best at bringing you the big wins, but then the double feature is rare enough that it probably hides the best wins.
