History
Big Ducking Wings describes itself as a team of one: a single developer who builds slot games for fun and handles the characters, artwork, mathematics and code of each title. The developer publishes under two names, Big Ducking Wings for a catalogue of 29 games, more than half of them duck-themed, and Arcane Aces for a second label of 11 games, mostly with animal themes. All titles are released on Stake and, the site said in 2026, nowhere else for now.
The catalogue ranges from low to extreme volatility, with maximum wins from 1,000x to 100,000x and RTPs between 95.00 and 96.70 percent; Tales of Quacknarok, released in May 2026, is a 7x7 cluster-pays game with locked wilds and bonus buys. Captain Quack, released on 4 August 2026, passed 76,000 bets on launch day, the studio's biggest launch. The site reports all-time totals on Stake to 9 September 2026 of more than 10 million bets, about 69,600 players (counted separately for each label) and USD 15.5 million in turnover. The site leaves licensing to Stake, where the games are published.
