When it comes to slot machines, most people are accustomed to the standard kitschy casino fare. However, there are a few companies that have taken advantage of the popularity of movies to create games with a more unique feel. One of these companies is International Game Technology, which recently developed a game based on The Hangover. Rather than simply rehashing scenes from the film, IGT has recreated a few key elements under the guise of a fun slot machine.
In addition to the video clips and soundtracks, IGT also included a few additional features that make the game more entertaining than just watching the movie. For example, the gangster character Mr. Chow, played by Ken Jeong, acts as a host of the game and offers some words of encouragement to players. However, he is quick to disparage those that are making poor decisions.
The game also includes a number of different bonus rounds that make it possible to win huge amounts of money. For instance, a player can spin a wheel to reveal a random prize, which could be anything from a free game to a bonus round in which they get to interact with the cast of characters from the movie. The game’s five reels and 40 paylines also offer multiple ways to win, making it a good choice for casual players who want to wager low stakes.
Those who want to try out the game before investing any money can do so at many of the Las Vegas casinos that carry Caesars Entertainment’s brands. The game is currently available at Wynn, Aria and MGM as well as at several of the company’s other properties. In addition, the machine is now being shipped to Caesars’ properties outside of Nevada.
The game features four themed progressive pick bonuses and base game wilds. The first bonus is called “The Villa,” where players choose from icons such as a stun gun that can be used to zap Alan, a satchel carried by Phil and a hat worn by Stu to build credit values. Other bonuses include a tiger paw swipe, a police cruiser and a mattress. The game’s main characters, including Alan, Phil, Doug and Stu, can also be found on the reels along with Mr. Chow, who pops up with his famously hilarious sayings throughout gameplay.
