Bucks And Doe 10K Ways Review

The 10K Ways series hasn’t really been a massive success so far, at least not compared to, say, the Megaways engine which it kind of is an offshoot of. Each installment just isn’t memorable enough to stick, but ReelPlay might just be able to turn that around with this hunting expedition. Bucks And Doe 10K Ways is not only a great title for a hunting slot, it’s also an entertaining hunting themed game that comes with solid visuals and an original bonus round.

The base game is admittedly not all that exciting, but you get the usual 10,000 ways to win, as well as a Cascading mechanic that can keep your winning streak going indefinitely. You will mostly get top-up wins in the base game, however, but things get far more interesting when the Respins Bonus triggers. It revolves around 1 of 3 animal prize symbols chosen up front, and special symbols will help you out in different ways. Check out all the details below.

Bucks And Doe 10K Ways Slot Features

The premium symbols, consisting of deer, elk, moose, and the hunter as the top-tier symbol, pay between 1.5 and 50 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins. There are no Wild symbols in this game, but winning symbols are removed and replaced via the Cascading feature.

The gaps are filled by new and/or existing symbols dropping from above, and this repeats as long as you keep winning.

You need at least 3 scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Respins round, and you will either get to go Deer hunting, Elk hunting, or Moose hunting. The symbol is chosen randomly up front, and the Deer is worth between 1x-100x your stake, while the Elk and the Moose symbols pay 1x-150x and 1x-200x your stake, respectively. You start with 3 respin lives in the form of hunting rifle bullets, and the triggering prizes are collected. The following symbols can appear in this feature:

• The animal prize symbols already summed up above.
• Triple bullet symbols that resets the respins tally to 3.
• Hunter symbol that collects all present prizes
• Bear symbol that eat and absorb animal prize symbols
• Bronze, silver, gold, and platinum trophy prize symbols

The above-mentioned trophy prize symbols pay 10x, 50x, 250x, or 2,000x your stake, respectively, but you cannot land more than one trophy prize per respin. A target moves across the grid after each respin, and all symbols it shoots are collected as a win.

The bear can have up to 3 lives, and it loses 1 life when being shot. The trophy prize symbols are sticky until the feature ends, but they must also be shot to be collected.

The Buy Bonus menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. You can pay 55x, 65x, or 75x your stake for the Deer, Elk, or Moose Respins Bonus Rounds, respectively, or alternatively you can pay 65x your stake for the randomized option.

You get a decent taste of the base game, before we purchase and trigger the Moose Respins Bonus at 0:50 into the 2:58-minute highlights video. The feature plays out for the remainder of the video, and you can see for yourself how our hunting expedition went by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We have to admit that seeing 10K in the title hardly fills us with unbridled enthusiasm at this point, as each installment comes across as more of the same. Like we have said before, the engine is like the Megaways engine with “cruise control” switched on, and how often do you see a 10K, or even a 5K win, anyway. Bucks And Doe 10K Ways also came across as more of the same when chugging along in the base game, with cascading winning streaks that can lead to decent payouts once in a while.

The hunting expedition bonus round, however, took us by surprise in a positive way, although we get that some players might not enjoy the idea of killing animals for sports. ReelPlay has come up with a unique take on the hold and win style concept, where prizes have to be targeted and shot to be collected. It’s a bit annoying that the respins tally don’t reset when you collect, however, and getting extra bullets can be hard sometimes.

At least Bucks And Doe 10K Ways is not a 10K game you will forget all that quickly, which is the case with most of them until now.

Pros

• Cascading Wins & 10K Win Ways
• Respins Bonus w/ special symbols
• Win up to 6,116x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
• Base game is pretty barebones
