New Microgaming Slot Out in Time for Summer Fun

Good news – there’s a new Microgaming slot out! The Isle of Man-based software provider has dubbed its latest creation “simply silly fun.” The game, called Poke the Guy, features a zany character, vibrant graphics and outlandish animation. The off-the-wall-game, a first of its kind from the developer, offers players an interactive and unique way to win some seriously cool prizes.

Not Your Traditional New Microgaming Slot

Poke the Guy is far from your regular kind of slot. The aim in this one is to attack the Guy. He kind of looks like the American actor, Danny Trejo, complete with onesie who is having a blast stomping on a map that features some of the most well-known landmarks in the world, including Mount Rushmore, the Egyptian Pyramids, the Eiffel Tower, the Little Mermaid, the London Eye and even the Great Sphinx of Giza. It’s your job to save the citizens from the Guy’s shenanigans.

During gameplay, you’ll get the chance to choose from a myriad of weapons, such as a butcher knife, rubber ducky, piranha, and even a flaming pile of poop. You can use your weapons to catapult the Guy with an electrified, extra-large slingshot.

If your weapon hits the character’s face, you will get multiplier values of 2x, 4x, 8x, 12x or 18x. There’s even a grand prize of 500x.

All you have to do is tap on the slingshot and your chosen weapon will launch in the character’s direction. Each weapon your hurl is counted as a bet. Take note, though, this weird and wonderful character is insanely nimble and will try to evade every projectile while stomping out those landmarks.

This new Microgaming slot is optimised for mobile, which means you can increase your wins in portrait mode on your mobile device.
