The Princess Bride Introduction
The Princess Bride is a classic film that everyone – young and old – loves. It is about the story of Princess Buttercup and her farm boy Westley. They fall in love but Westley must become wealthy in order to marry the princess. While on a hunt for treasure, his ship is attacked by the Dread Pirate Roberts and he is presumed dead.
Years later, Buttercup promises her hand in marriage to Prince Humperdinck and Westley returns as ‘the man in black’ to rescue his love. Plenty of exciting adventures follow, spawning some timeless jokes that are still quoted to this day.
Playing The Princess Bride
In the new Princess Bride poker machine, WMS attempts to capture the fun and excitement of the original movie with clips from the film and innovative bonus games. Every aspect of this poker machine was pulled from the Princess Bride, so fans of the film will instantly recognise the characters and motifs used.
Even players who have just seen the movie once or are only familiar with references from the movie will also notice that the pokie is chock full of material from The Princess Bride.
Generous Bonus Rounds
There are three generous bonus rounds, which can be triggered while playing WMS’ The Princess Bride poker machine. The first is the Fire Swamp Bonus. During this round, the player initially receives three free spins. They are then prompted to pick four tiles from the swamp that will enhance the round. The options available are extra free spins, additional wild symbols, multipliers and locked wilds.
In the Fezzik Bonus, the character appears to grant player bonus prizes. In one scenario, he punches the reels and turns between one and five of them wild. He can also offer up a Boulder Pick bonus, which provides players with the chance to win a prize with a 30x multiplier.
Finally, there is the Vizzini Bonus. In this round, players must pick one of two goblets and the goal is to receive the one that has not been poisoned. When you receive the poisoned goblet, you get a credit prize and the bonus game ends. When you receive the safe goblet, you receive a multiplier, credits and another opportunity to pick a prize.
