The ecosystem of the Arches National Park is the inspiration of Eagle Bucks, a September 2014 video slot that relates to its developer Ainsworth’s October 2022 game Eagle Rider. It is named after the symbolized bird and the informal noun (“bucks”) of the U.S. dollar.

Thematizing landmarks, montane, forest, and wildlife; Eagle Bucks has: 41 coins, 20 adjustable winning ways (eight choices), hundreds of total bets, locked and cloned eagles, rightward wins, thirteen symbols, and two-part (extra) free games.

Regular games: three symbols (eagle, arch, and wolf) pay from X2 to X1000 for a two/three/four/five-of-a-kind; and ten symbols (logos, deer, bison, nest, K, A, Q, 10, J, and 9) pay from X2 to X150 for a three/four/five-of-a-kind. Free games: one symbol (eagle) needs a two/three/four/five-of-a-kind; and the other symbols need a three/four/five-of-a-kind.
