Slot game
Lucky Ducks
Lucky Ducks (also marketed as Lucky Ducky) is a VGT Class II bingo machine, not a standard reel slot -- every outcome comes from VGT's Live-Call Bingo system running underneath the reels. Watch for the Red Screen: on some winning spins the screen flashes red and locks in a re-spin, and on cabinets with the slide-open top case, you can land the carnival-themed Pick a Duck bonus for extra credits.
