Eagle Bucks Slot Machine

Symbols on the Eagle Bucks Slot

Just like every other slot machine on the market, the Eagle Bucks game features a number of symbols on its reels. In this section, we'll look at the various icons and discuss their potential payouts and functions within the game.

• Buffalo

  From meat to clothing, the Indians depended on hunting buffalo for their survival. This virtual representation of the bison pays 150 for five, 50 for four, and five for three.

• Bald Eagle

  This majestic bird and symbol of the United States pays 1,000 for five, 150 for four, 50 for three, and five for two. Since it acts as the wild symbol, it substitutes for all other icons expect for the scatter.

• Eagle Bucks Shield

  This symbol serves as the scatter. Getting three or more of these during a spin activates the Free Spins bonus (which awards 10 complimentary games). Five of these pays 100, four pays 10, and three pays two. Scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet to determine the payout (while line wins are multiplied by the bet per line).

• Stone Arch

  This mystical-looking natural structure pays 300 for five, 75 for four, 15 for three, and five for two.

• Deer

  This forest dweller was hunted by Indians for food, and they remain a primary target for hunters in the modern era. They pay 150 for five, 50 for four, and five for three.

• Eagle Eggs

  A nest filled with golden-looking eagle eggs, this symbol pays 150 for five, 50 for four, and five for three.

• Wolf

  This cunning predator pays 200 for five matches, 75 for four, 15 for three, and two for two.

• Ace, King, and Queen

  These highest playing card values all pay 100 for five, 25 for four, and five for three.

• Jack, Ten, and Nine

  These poker card values pay 50 for five, 15 for four, and five for three.

Free Spins Bonus Round

This is the only form of bonus available during the game. In order to activate it, the player must get three or more scatter symbols (Eagle Bucks shield) on the reels during the regular phase of the game. When the free spins begin, there's a chance that the fifth reel is transformed into a stacked wild and locked for the duration of the extra spins.

Regardless of whether or not the fifth reel gets transformed during free spins, the wild eagle symbol is eligible to appear on reels two, three, and four. If an eagle symbol does appear on a reel during the free spins phase, it expands to turn the entire reel wild.

Additional free spins can also be earned during the bonus round. In order to receive them, you'll need to get three or more shield scatters during a single spin. If this happens, the player receives an additional five games. However, only five additional spins can be earned in this manner.

During the regular phase of the game, both the wolf and stone arch symbols reward players for getting two-of-a-kind. This changes during the bonus games, however, and getting a pair of either of these symbols doesn't result in a payout.

The look of the game varies slightly during the free spins. There's more of a reddish hue to the background, and the music alternates between tribal chanting and some out-of-place banjo music. I must have been absent from history class when the Native American love of banjo music was discussed.

Return to Player

The expected return for players on the Eagle Bucks slot is 94.09%. While we'd like the number to be higher, that's about average.

We do give credit to Ainsworth for actually providing this number. This is a major help to savvy gamblers looking for the best return percentage, and most game developers wouldn't even think about sharing such information.

Available Buttons on the Eagle Bucks Slot

Like all slot machines, Eagle Bucks has a number of buttons that can be clicked on to achieve various effects. In this section, we'll look at some of the available options.

• Line Plus

  If you want to increase the number of payline you're wagering on, click on this button. The maximum option is 20.

• Line Minus

  For those desiring fewer active paylines, this button allows them to be decreased one at a time. The lowest available option is a single line.

• Bet Per Line Plus

  This button allows the player to increase their overall wager per payline. Remember, payouts are multiplied by the total bet, so bigger wagers result in larger returns.

• Bet Per Line Minus

  If you're experiencing a cold streak with a larger wager, you can use this button to decrease your bet to a more manageable size.

• Spin & Stop

  When this red button reads "spin," clicking it sets the reels in motion. Once this occurs, the button reads "stop." The latter option causes the reels to immediately stop, although it does nothing to affect the outcome.

• Auto Spin

  If you're tired of pressing the spin button repeatedly, you can select this option and have the machine automatically cycle through a number of spins ranging from five to 25.

• Gamble

  After any win, this feature gives the player a chance to increase their winnings. Once the button is pressed, the player is taken to another screen with a deck of virtual playing cards. The player has two options: color or suit. If "color" is selected, then the player must predict the color of the next card (black or red). A successful guess results in the player's winnings being doubled. If you choose "suit" and correctly choose from hearts, spades, clubs, or diamonds, then the prize is quadrupled. The gamble option can be used up to five times following a win, although a single incorrect guess causes the player to lose their recent winnings.
