At the beginning of 2013, NetEntertainment announced that it would be creating an online pokie based on the cartoon series, South Park. This week, the developer has revealed its first glimpse of th new game by releasing a teaser trailer on YouTube. “South Park has a cult following around the world and we are truly proud to bring it to the gaming market,” reads a statement from Per Eriksson, Net Entertainment CEO.
“South Park is our biggest game yet and we are tremendously excited about its potential.” The trailer begins with a classic inside joke: ‘Oh, my god! You killed Kenny!’ The character is seen playing a slot machine at a casino. As he pulls the lever, the machine falls and crushes him. A jackpot pours out. It is a great way to introduce the new game to the public, piquing the interest of both South Park fans and online pokie players.
The game then opens with an overview of the bonus features. Each of the main characters has their own unique bonus round. Kyle and Stan offer free spins rounds while Cartman and Kenny offer arcade-style bonus games. In Cartman’s bonus game, you hunt for hippies and earn cash prizes for each one your find. In Kenny’s bonus game, you cross the street, and earn coins each time you avoid getting hit by a car.
Even in the free spins round, there is something unique and interesting to do. For example, in Kyle’s bonus game, whenever Ike appears on the reels, you play ‘Kick the Baby’. He can land on one of four multipliers, granting you extra cash prizes. In Stan’s bonus game, sticky wilds are triggered, which remain in place while the reels spin.
At the bottom of the screen Stan and Bebe stand face-to-face, and you receive new sticky wilds every time you vomit on her. It all sounds a bit crude, but this is exactly what a fan of the cartoon would expect from a poker machine based on South Park. There is no word yet on when exactly this game will hit online casinos, but we are certain that, when it does, it will be a huge hit.
