In Fishing for Credits, players head out on a boat and get to make three casts out in the lake. Before each cast, players pick a lure, which yields a multiplier between 2x and 10x, then you cast out. Credit wins depend on the size of the sh and the lure multilevel. You can catch a 1,200 point sh on a 10x multiplier, or a 200 point old decomposing can on a 2x multiplier. e Duck Dynasty slot will
de nitely appeal to lots of casino players if millions of TV reality watchers aren’t wrong in their choice of favorite show.
