A major trend in the poker machine market sees plenty of designers creating games that are based on popular television shows and movies. These themes are hugely popular among online pokie fans, and companies are working hard to meet the demand. This week, Leander Games announced its plans to launch a new online pokie based on the classic television show, Taxi.

The company was selected as Pavilion Worldwide Group’s preferred partner to develop a casino game based on the series. It will be licensed by CBS Consumer Products. The new Taxi online pokie will be a 5-reel 25-payline game. As such, it will provide players with plenty of winning potential each time they spin the reels.

There will be a ‘Flag this down’ instant prize bonus, which allows players to collect prizes from the trips that each taxi takes. ‘Make it out of the garage’ will occur during the free spins bonus, providing players with the opportunity to interact with characters from the classic TV show. When a particular character leaves the garage, they will turn into a wild symbol which will further increase the player’s chances of winning big.

Finally, there is the Pick a Prize bonus. In this round, the dispatcher will shout instructions and the player must find the right driver for the job. When the player makes a correct match, a prize is won. If they guess incorrectly three times, the round ends. “Taxi will enable players to meet their favourite characters from the TV show and feel the excitement of being part of the team,” says Steven Matsell, CEO of Leander Games.

“It continues Leander Games’s tradition of providing exciting, innovative slots games on a variety of platforms.”
