The Village People Slot from Microgaming

Published: wed 10 jul 2019

Village People Strut into Online Casinos

The Village People made headlines when they first brought their unique combination of fancy-dress stereotypes and catchy pop songs to the disco scene in the late 1970’s, and the group are now bringing the same brand of fun to online casinos. Village People Macho Moves is a new slot developed exclusively for Microgaming by Fortune Factory Studios, and it is every bit as unique and entertaining as the band it features.

Six Reels of Disco Fun

The Village People Macho Moves is a six-reel game with 15 pay lines which takes place on a neon-lit chequered dance floor. Each of the six reels serves as a podium, and all six members of the band stand on these as you play. The podiums have spaces for five tokens, and filling these will result in the associated band member stepping down to strut his stuff in a Macho Moves Bonus Feature, as we will explain shortly.

The graphics have a humorous cartoon-style, and the symbols on the reels include disco versions of the playing card suits of clubs, spades, hearts and diamonds, vinyl records, a golden microphone, sunglasses, platform shoes, a glitterball Wild, a VP Wild and more.

As you would expect from a game based on the Village People, this title is packed to bursting with the sounds that made the group famous, with no fewer than five of their hits having a central role. If you are a fan of songs like Macho Man, Y.M.C.A. and In the Navy, turn up the volume (or plug in your headphones) and the game will deliver a disco experience par excellence direct to your device.

Macho Moves Bonus Feature

Fill the Macho Moves spaces under any of the band members with five tokens and you will trigger the Macho Moves Bonus Feature. This is basically a Free Spins feature, but each band member brings their own unique move to the event. For example, the Construction Worker will give you a random multiplier of anything from x2 to x20 before each spin, whilst the Cop will arrest two, three or four random Wild reels before each spin.

With six band members, there are effectively six different Free Spins features to be triggered, and if you fill the meter for more than one member, you will enjoy each of the triggered features in succession for even more winning potential. Win Up to 5,845 Times Your Bet!

‘Creating a slot game based around an iconic brand like the Village People was an inspiring prospect for us at Fortune Factory Studios,’ said Phelan Sykes, who is Head of Game Production at Fortune Factory Studios. ‘In Village People Macho Moves, we’ve set out to embody the timeless energy of the band. Music is central to the experience, and the built-in VP jukebox gives players a choice of the group’s biggest hits to play as they enjoy a breadth of inventive gameplay features.

‘Our range of Macho Moves mechanics also adds a unique depth to free spins, offering players significant win potential of up to 5,845 times their bet, with the extra thrill of seeing the amazingly animated characters boogie down.’ Over at Microgaming, Chief Commercial Officer Jean-Luc Ferriere is equally excited about this release. ‘Big, bold and brilliantly fun, Village People Macho Moves brings the sights and sounds of the legendary disco group into the world of online slots,’ he said. ‘The game encapsulates all that’s great about the iconic band, with five of their most famous songs playing on rotation and all six band members making an appearance as fully-animated characters. Fortune Factory Studios have excelled in creating a feature-rich branded slot experience with wide appeal and fantastic win potential.’
