Scientific unveils Simpsons slot

Showcased in the Gamescape cabinet with a 40ins top screen and 10.4ins touchscreen display, its features include symbol cloning, a mystery symbol and character respin features. Players also have the option to make an additional bet for a chance to increase the bonus feature prizes.

It also integrates what the company claims is an industry-first gesture control element, utilising motion sensor technology to allow the player to physically interact with the game in some of the bonus features.

"We could not be more excited to launch The Simpsons, which is based on the hugely popular and iconic television show," said Derik Mooberry, chief executive of gaming for Scientific Games.

“The Simpsons is jam-packed with entertaining features and bonuses and the impressive Gamescape cabinet immerses the player in the world of Homer with screens that wrap the player in the game action and the gesture control feature that puts the player in control. We are certain fans of the show and general slot enthusiasts alike will love this game," he added.

The Simpsons boasts six bonus games centred on popular characters from the series, including the Donut Wheel Bonus, Moe's Pranks-A-Lot, Apu's Scrat-Cha-Pa-Looza, Krusty's It's Cobblering Time, Wiggum-A-Role and Homer's Monorail Madness.
