How to play Happy Birds

The value of this release lies in what it says about franchise strategy. The Big Bass series has become one of Pragmatic Play’s most reliable engines, and reskinning a proven math model with seasonal theming is a low-risk way to keep the brand visible during a commercially significant window.

Halloween is a natural peg for that approach. It gives operators a topical, franchise-branded title to feature in October promotions without asking players to learn a new system. The friendly Count Dracula fisherman and trick-or-treat trimmings supply the seasonal hook while the underlying fish-collection loop does the heavy lifting.

The bill would amend the Gambling Authority Act to align it more closely with the Financial Intelligence Act and Financial Action Task Force standards. Its memorandum says the changes are intended to strengthen anti-money laundering requirements and reduce financial crime risks.

The proposed amendments include provisions on beneficial ownership, financial and controlling interests, fit-and-proper-person assessments and know-your-customer requirements. They would also require Authority approval for the acquisition of a direct or indirect financial or controlling interest of 5% or more, unless a lower threshold is prescribed.

The bill would require most licence holders to link gambling machines and devices installed on their premises to the Gambling Authority’s statutory monitoring system. Casino and bingo licence holders would be required to install their own monitoring systems instead.

The release carries the studio’s familiar configuration approach. Duck Hunters 2 launches with a 96.00% RTP configuration as its highest available setting, alongside alternative versions with RTP levels of 94.05% and 92.01%. The game carries an extreme volatility rating and allows bets ranging from €0.20 to €100 per spin.

The reason Duck Hunters 2 is worth flagging as news is what its format says about where the wider market has landed. Position-multiplier math, in which individual grid cells accumulate multipliers across cascading wins, has become one of the most widely adopted mechanical families in modern slot design.

Nolimit City’s version keeps that model recognizable. As in the original game, winning symbols disappear from the grid and trigger cascading reactions. The distinguishing choice is the ceiling the studio has set for those cells.
