Play The Simpsons For Real Money With Bonus
The Simpsons Slot Machine
It’s quite remarkable to think that after almost 30 years, no game developer has attempted a proper official collaboration slot for The Simpsons. That is, until now. Branded slots have been gaining popularity, and with new technologies to showcase, industry leader WMS has finally decided to tackle the world’s biggest TV show with what they claim will be their best casino game yet.
They have really gone all out for this game, featuring a roaming location scene structure reminiscent of IGT’s Avatar slots. The game boasts a brand new cabinet with a multitude of new features and cutting-edge gaming technologies like motion sensing player interaction. Rest assured, slot fans, the traditional free spins, wilds, and pick win bonuses will all still be included, enhanced and complemented by visuals and audio from the beloved Simpsons cast.
Theme
The history of The Simpsons dates back to 1987, starting as a series of shorts on the Tracy Ullman show. Back then, even the show’s creator couldn’t have imagined that the rebellious Bart and his dysfunctional American family would become such an integral part of modern culture three decades later.
Awards have piled up for the show, and with its fair share of controversy, The Simpsons and its characters have become as iconic as real-life celebrities. In fact, many actors aspire to land a guest spot on the show, almost a rite of passage for those looking to become legendary celebrities in today’s world.
The game does justice to the theme, with WMS introducing a new cabinet called ‘gamescape’ specifically for this new Vegas game. The setup includes five 4k LCD screens, providing an unprecedented visual experience on the casino floor. Surrounding the player seat are central, left, and right screens, along with a large overhead monitor, immersing players in the game. A soundbar delivers full 3D sound from all directions, and a 10″ tablet replaces traditional button controls.
Gameplay unfolds in various zones based on the show’s iconic locations like Homer at the power plant, Apu’s Kwik-E-Mart, and Moe’s Tavern – all favorites among viewers. Spins occur on a 5×5 reel set filled with Simpsons-themed symbols, including main characters and items like Duff beer and Homer’s doughnuts. Wilds can change with each spin as a random bonus-linked symbol, ranging from Itchy and Scratchy to Marge. The primary wild symbol remains the show’s logo.
Music and sound effects draw from the show’s theme tune and episodes, adding to the authentic Simpsons experience. Just like with the successful Ellen slots, this game succeeds because the brand contributed content, rather than just providing stock footage for the designers to work with.
Features
In addition to the roaming location scenes and character interactions, WMS has implemented various gameplay features to ensure the slot is as entertaining to play as the TV series is to watch. The standout feature is motion sensing player interaction.
In the base game round, landing four doughnuts triggers interactive free spins – one doughnut at each corner of the 5×5 reel set. This activates the doughnut wheel bonus, where players control Homer, collecting colored sprinkles for extra spins, multipliers, sticky wilds, and linked symbols. At the end, Homer takes a bite to allocate the number of spins.
Another notable bonus round occurs at Moe’s Tavern, allowing players to choose Bart’s catchphrases for credit prizes during a prank call. There is also an instant pick-win bonus that can be revealed using the motion sensor, offering an interactive but random feature. Notably, this bonus does not require skill and can be played without the sensor on autoplay.
Summary
WMS is still finalizing the game structure and bet values, but features like wager saver, bonus guarantee, and ways to win are expected to carry over from their existing games. Based on what we’ve seen so far, we hope they retain the current format – one of the most engaging and immersive slots we’ve encountered, complete with a wide area progressive jackpot for substantial winning potential.
