    Watch your multiplier climb

    Keep an eye on the meter at the top, since each duck the claw lands lifts the number a little higher.

Buy A Bonus To Get Free Spins

To buy free spins, tap the Buy Bonus button, then choose the mode you want to play.

The mode you choose decides how many free spins land in the round, shown in the table below.

Difficulty mode Free spins
Easy 9
Medium 7
Hard 5
Hardcore 3

The Buy Bonus has a price you pay up front to get the free spins right away.

That price is tied to your bet, so a bigger bet makes the Buy Bonus cost more.

Always check the price shown before you confirm.

See all the Buy Bonus tiers.

How The Multiplier and Cashout Work

Cashing out is the one choice you make in every round, so it helps to know the math.

To work out your win, multiply your bet by the number on the meter.

A 2 USD bet at 5.00x pays 10 USD, and the same bet at 20.00x pays 40 USD.

When should you tap Cash Out?

Pick a target before the round, like 3.00x, and cash out the second the meter hits it.

If you wait for more, the win on screen is yours only until the round ends.

A safe win in your balance always beats a bigger one you never locked in. For the modes, odds, and full rundown, see our Lucky Ducky game guide.
