Kia Ora, New Zealand! In light of recent news, we do hope that
you’ve been keeping well, and that you and your loved ones are safe in these
tough times. Now more than ever, it’s easy to fall victim to anxiousness or
generally just be plagued by negative thoughts. Therefore, to aid in your
battle against negativity, we’ve decided to share a little pick-me-up that you
might enjoy.
Introducing Eddy Dundee- the slot that’s taking over New
Zealand by storm. An explosion of non-stop action, heart-pumping adventures and
just a little bit of romance sprinkled into the mix, Eddy Dundee is not a slot
for the faint of heart.
Summary:
The Inspiration Behind Eddy Dundee
From its
name alone, you might be able to correctly guess that Eddy Dundee was inspired
by the 1986 blockbuster, Crocodile Dundee. Starring Eddy the Emu instead of
Paul Hogan, the slot is set against a backdrop of the Australian outback- a
detail that’s reminiscent of where the movie took place.
If you take
a closer look, you may notice the subtle ways in which Eddy Dundee pays homage
to the movie. From the adorable koalas framing the reels, to the signature hat
and reptile slung over Eddy’s shoulder in the Scatter symbol, these little features
truly set the tone for the game, making it all the more enjoyable and
immersive.
General Slot Features
The
adventure begins on 5 reels and 25 fixed paylines. Playable on both desktop and
mobile devices, Eddy Dundee is the perfect game even for when players are on
the go, as they can easily log in for a quick spin on the reels.
Bets for
the game start from a measly $0.25 to $25.00 per spin, and is adjustable based
on the players’ respective budgets. Players can also try out the game in
free-play mode, just to have a brief taste of what Eddy Dundee can offer.
The RTP
rate for the game stands at 96.06%, above the average for all slot games, and has
a medium volatility.
Special
icons in the game would include Eddy as the Scatter symbol, Dingo (a
yellow-furred dingo) as the Wild symbol, and Big Knife symbols, which could
trigger the game’s jackpot feature.
The
high-paying icons, on the other hand, are comprised of beautifully-illustrated
Sue Charlton symbols, ferocious crocodiles, Eddy’s signature hat, and the Eddy
Dundee logo. The remaining icons are made up of card symbols A, K, Q and J, all
of which have been customised to fit in with the theme.
Special Features
Let’s not lie to ourselves, we know what you’ve been
patiently waiting for, and we’ve saved the best for last- the bonus features! Boasting
4 different special features- namely Wilds, Scatters, Gambles and Respins- it’s
easy to see why Eddy Dundee is not just preferred by kiwi players, but also by players
from all over the world.
Just like most modern slot games, the Wild symbol in Eddy
Dundee can substitute for all icons except for the Scatter and Big Knife symbols.
This creates a surefire way to hit more combinations and winnings in a single
spin.
After every win, players can choose to just collect their
winnings or take a chance and potentially double their winnings by using the
Gamble feature. How this feature works is simple: players will be shown a
face-down card, and they would have to guess if it’s red or black. If they win,
their winnings will be doubled!
As for the Scatter bonus, players who manage to hit 3
Scatter symbols in a single spin will be rewarded 3 Free Spins. That’s not all
though, because during the bonus, reels 2, 3 and 4 will be entirely occupied by
a gigantic symbol, making it easier to score even more winnings.
The biggest bonus of the game however, is the Big Knife
Respins feature, which has the potential to reward players mega winnings up to a
massive $25,000 Jackpot.
Triggered by landing 6 or more Big Knife symbols in a single
spin, this thrilling feature rewards players with 3 respins, during which all
symbols but the knives will disappear. Whenever an additional knife lands on
the reels, the respin count will be reset to 3, making it possible for the
respins to last for a very long time.
Eagle-eyed players may have noticed that each Big Knife
symbol has a number by its hilt, which comes into play when players finally run
out of respins or land a full screen of Big Knife symbols. The sum of all these
numbers represent the final amount of winnings from the bonus.
With its innovative features and huge, drool-inducing
jackpot, it’s no surprise that Eddy Dundee is quickly becoming one of the
hottest games in EmuCasino. So when you’re feeling a bit blue and need a bit of
cheering up, give it a try- this wild ride of a game will definitely not let
you down.
