DuckyLuck Casino is a 2020 entry into the online gambling world by the same folks who brought you Sports And Casino. Just like their sister-site that launched in 2019, this one is USA friendly.

Canadian and Australian dollars are also accepted as are Rand, Bitcoin, and Euros. That should give you an idea of the target markets, players in many regions are welcome.

Look for about 500 slots, table games, and video poker from providers like Rival Gaming, Saucify (BetOnSoft), Betsoft Gaming, and Spinomenal. We see logos for a few more brands but Tom Horn, Fugaso, and Felix Gaming may not be available everywhere yet.

We've only seen about a year of operations for the sister-site, Sports and Casino, as of the time of this review. That reputation is about all we have to go on here aside from Terms and Conditions, which we'll dig into a little further on in this review.

We don't find a license listed, but that doesn't necessarily mean an operator doesn't have one.

The Direct Casino Support representative for Ducky Luck is the same as for S&C over at LCB.org and has handled questions in a timely and professional manner. We don't see any deliberate slow pays or any no pays, but there have been a few complaints about customer service response time.

There were a couple of internal coding issues that have been resolved when the site first launched such as the BTC page not loading fully and the live chat facility not alerting agents about inquiries. The rep got right on it.

As always, there will be players who jump right in without reading a critical and objective review (or even the bonus terms). We'll go over the pitfalls below, but most people realize that if you get a 500% or 600% match bonus there is most likely going to be a max cashout amount. We'd suggest 150% or a lower match if you want to try to win unlimited amounts. Bonus-shopping matters!

Software and Games

Look for over 500 games ranging from 3-reels lots to video bonus slots in 3D, to card games and table games.

The site is mobile friendly and plays in any web browser on Android, iOS, tablet, laptop, or desktop. Simply visit the online gaming site, create an account, grab your bonus if you want one, make a deposit, and play.

Navigating around the site is effortless with easy to follow road signs pointing the way.

The game filters are not highly granular, you won't be able to sort games by the provider, line count, volatility, etc. all at the same time, but you can choose:

• Provider
• Video slots
• Classic 3 Reel
• Jackpot

Betsoft slots

All of the slots have "Info" buttons which reveal a closer look at the game. From there, you can try it for free, or log in and rate the game along with other players or even leave your own review.

This is a valuable tool for players whether you like to share your thoughts, know what others think or both.

Choosing Betsoft we see just under 100 titles. At the bottom of the info page is a long description of the game developer with information going back to 2008.

Betsoft games focus on storytelling and fun and have amassed several industry awards and player awards over the years.

The software hasn't been without controversy in the past with some miscoded or otherwise unavailable progressive jackpots and less than satisfactory explanations as to why. Since those days the games have been certified by the prestigious AAMS in Italy and licensed by the Romanian national gaming office (ONJN).

The games are sorted by title alphabetically here, which is a good way to mix and intermingle several different maths models, themes, and popularity levels.

If you are familiar with Betsoft titles and like to play the games other people are playing the most, simply click on "Popular Slots" and choose a Betsoft game from near the top of the list.

Rival slots

Somewhere between 150 and 200 titles populate this category of games. Rival has such a varied catalog that it can be just like playing games from several different makers to explore the entire package.

One thread that runs through most of the games is their signature bonus mechanic. If you have free spins with 3x multipliers and hit another bonus inside the bonus spins, those awards will most often be multiplied 3x as well. This adds some real excitement to the games.

Some of the artwork, especially in the older games, is flat and simple. As times have changed, so has the company with advanced artwork and soundscapes as well as unique feature mechanics only found in Rival powered games.

Rival was a pioneer in mixing skill with random number generator results. They get away with it by having a range of potential awards that is different each time you enter the skill-based bonus round of an i-Slot.

Do your best in shooting space invaders or trying for a hole in one with Hole in Won (one or two). You'll win a prize on the high end of the randomly generated prize pool. Roll gutter balls on purpose when you play Bowled Over and you'll win a prize on the low end of the randomly selected prize range. You always want to do your best!

This particular execution of maths and mechanics can give the games a theoretical return to player range, but it will always be listed in the help file and will always reach that number within the standard deviation for its particular volatility index.

Rival 3-Reel Classics

Rival also excels at developing three-reel slots. These games often have higher RTP and lower volatility than some of the video bonus slots. But that, in itself, is not enough for most players. We want excitement.

The graphics, sounds, and the bonus features on these games offer a different experience than video slots. When you win something, it's often substantial. So if you don't care to spend a dollar on a spin and see the carnival show of "big win celebrations" for low returns, these games may be for you.

Sure, you'll get less than your bet back a lot of spins, but you'll also know it when you hit something real!

Saucify Slots

Saucify rebranded to the current name several years ago from the previous BetOnSoft brand. Perhaps it was too close to the Betsoft name, we really don't know for sure. We do know the games are popular, fun, and many are very innovative.

Long time favorites like Big Game provide a totally different gaming experience than newer games like the Spin16 series, the expanding wild symbols and well-executed graphics of Tales of Time Travel, or the story-based games like Captain Shockwave.

The selection in this suite is not as robust as the other two brands for players in the USA, but we find 30 titles with a good mix of maths and mechanics. Age of Spartans and Rise of Spartans are favorites here. Also, try 7 Chakras for something different... 49 pay lines? Yes.

Tom Horn Games, Fugaso, and Felix Gaming titles may be available to players in other regions and are all well worth checking out. All three companies started out in eastern Europe and provide unique games.

Tom Horn has been in the business since 2008 and received their license from the UKGC in 2017.

Fugaso has been in business for two decades and moved into the international markets with certifications and licensing in Malta about the same time as Tom Horn.

Felix Gaming is a newer studio launched in 2016 with some stunning games like Wild Beast of Crete, Juicy Wilds Hyper Jump, and Light Dance 3D. Check these games out if you get a chance.

Table Games

Not all of these titles have been converted to HTML5 yet, but if you have an Adobe Flash player on board (allow plug-in) you can play Rival's:

• Pai Gow Poker
• Ride'em Poker (let'em ride)
• Red Dog
• Card Clash (war)
• Baccarat
• Roulette (00/0)
• Blackjack (Single or Multi-hand)
• Craps

Video poker

This is another Rival suite delivered in HTML5 for mobile or any other sort of device. There are seven paytables here with true odds.

• Aces and Faces
• Deuces and Joker
• Deuces Wild
• Double Joker
• Jacks or Better (full pay 9/6)
• Joker Poker
• Tens or Better

The Casual Games category holds animated scratch cards and a variety of RNG bingos including 30, 80, and 90 ball varieties as well as keno. A hybrid slot-like no-skill-needed version of Sudoku is billed as a "box game". It displays on a 3x3 grid with a max payout of 50,000 times bet. This one was still in Flash as of launch time.

Jackpot games

Players will find a pleasant surprise here with a collection of Arrow's Edge games. Time Bender was far ahead of its time when it was released and the simple Pixiu has real potential.

Some of the games might suck your bankroll dry time and time again, but the idea behind jackpots is to pay very few people a lot of money on very rare occasions.

Jackpot values are only displayed in-game, except for Rival progressive slots which will display in the jackpot lobby as well.

Bonuses and Promotions

Of course, there's no way to know what the bonus scheme will look like in the future as we write, but you can see the current offers elsewhere on this page.

Upon launch, we are looking at a 600% Bitcoin bonus and a 500% regular deposit match. You'll have to look in the Terms and Conditions to find it but there is also a 150% bonus with no max cashout. The huge bonuses allow cashouts of 10x deposit.

There's also a "Refer a Friend" bonus worth $100, but you will need to talk to customer service as there is no reference to it in the regular or bonus-specific T&C.

There are also bonus spins associated with the high percentage match bonuses but the terms are not attractive on first read-over. It's fine to limit the amount that can be won to $100, nearly every operator does something similar - but there's an oddity in the T&C with this offer.

The Player’s account balance must be 30x the win amount on the free spins before they can apply for a withdrawal. The fixed maximum withdrawal on welcome free spins winnings is $100. For example, if your account balance was $30, and you won $100 on your free spins, you would need to win another $2970 elsewhere before cashing out your free spins win.

If that applies to any withdrawal, it is extremely predatory and should result in a bold warning. If it only refers to the $100, as it seems to "...before cashing out your free spins win." it's just an annoying term that will disappoint players and likely drive them away rather than incentivize them to come back.

Quite odd.

Be sure to zero out your balance between bonus deposits to avoid any automatic carryover of wagering requirements.

Banking and Customer Service

In addition to deposit methods used all over the world, like debit and credit cards, Skrill, Neteller, etc., there are plenty of country-specific options here too. Americans can use Western Union, Australians have POLi, and Canadians may use Premier Pay.

NeoSurf, KoalaPays, and of course, Paysafecards are also available for deposits.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are also accepted and are preferred.

Most of the above methods can also be used for withdrawals. Withdrawals are said to be paid within 48 to 72 hours. BTC payouts may be quicker. As always, be sure to take care of security documents early in your relationship to enjoy the fastest cashouts possible!

5.5 - The minimum withdrawal fee at DuckyLuck is set at $25 (€, £, Rx10).

Customer care

The FAQ covers a lot of ground including how to play games like baccarat, pai gow, roulette, and blackjack. There's also a live chat button and an online email form if you don't find the answer to your question easily.

Pitfalls

• Withdrawal fee
• No time-stamp on T&C
• No license displayed
• No game weighting (wagering requirements) in Bonus T&C
• Odd terms on casino spin bonus winnings (30x balance to cash out)

The Final Word

We'd like to see them clear up the T&C a bit to get rid of perceived "gotchas" among other things. The software simply shouldn't accept another deposit with a bonus if wagering requirements might carry over simply because you didn't have a $0.00 balance.

We don't see any reason you would have to have to win 30x your balance to collect $100 - it's convoluted, strange, and not very clear.

The Player’s account balance must be 30x the win amount on the free spins before they can apply for a withdrawal. The fixed maximum withdrawal on welcome free spins winnings is $100. For example, if your account balance was $30, and you won $100 on your free spins, you would need to win another $2970 elsewhere before cashing out your free spins win.

That said, we would play here with the 150% welcome bonus if it did not also come with the casino spins terms because it is not at all clear that the spins would not encumber other winnings.

However, for players that enjoy huge bonuses and lots of playtime bang for the buck, you can't beat the entertainment value of playing 3D cinematic quality slots with 5 or 6 times more guaranteed spins than you would get on a straight deposit - if you don't mind a 10x max cashout and an unknown amount of wagering.
