Hook-a-duck.
Although presented as a game of skill, it is really a game of chance with the odds stacked against the contestant. The ratio of ducks with a hidden mark to ducks without a hidden mark is always low. As such, very few contestants secure three winning ducks. The majority secure one or two winning ducks. In some cases the contestant will be unable to secure any winning ducks. There is no prize for this.



The modern British version of hook-a-duck ... is much simpler. After paying to play, players hook any duck and then choose a prize.
