The setting here is a disco dance floor complete with speakers, lights and glitter balls. On the reels you’ll find heart, diamond, club and spade symbols as well as platform shoes, sunglasses, records, tapes and microphones. As well as the standard glitter ball wild there’s also the VP wild. Whenever a VP wild hits, it expands and turns the whole of that reel wild – this is known as the VP Wild feature.
It also adds a token into that reel’s meter. Once a meter is full, you’ll trigger its associated Macho Moves free spins feature. In all cases, you’ll receive 5 free spins with a special extra:
- Reel 1: Construction Worker’s Macho Move feature - here you’ll receive a random multiplier of between 2x and 20x on each free spin.
- Reel 2: Cowboy’s Macho Move feature - between 2 and 12 wilds are randomly added on each free spin.
- Reel 3: Cop’s Macho Move feature - between 2 and 4 reels are totally wild on each free spin.
- Reel 4: Native’s Macho Move feature - 2 wild reels are added to reels 5 and 6. They then shift 1 reel to the left with each free spin that follows.
- Reel 5: Biker’s Macho Move feature - lower value symbols are upgraded into a higher value symbol on each free spin.
- Reel 6: Sailor’s Macho Move feature - on each free spin, between 1 and 3 wilds are added. They then lock in place and stay in position for any free spins you have left.
If you fill more than 1 VP Wild Meter on the same spin, you’ll win all the associated free spins. These play out sequentially.
The design in Village People Macho Moves is a brash and flashy as you’d expect. The imagery is actually really well done though. You’ll have the pick of a collection of some of the band’s biggest hits playing while you spin too including YMCA, Macho Man and In The Navy. No complaints here then.
The features are surprisingly good too. The number of free spins from each trigger isn’t massive but the extras that come with them can deliver some impressive action – especially the 20x multiplier from the Construction Worker’s Macho Move feature. It’s fiery on the volatility front too. This is a high variance slot game.
We were pleasantly surprised by what we found in Village People Macho Movies. The cartoon visuals are terrific and there’s plenty of variety on offer from the features. Even if you’re no disco diva, Village People Macho Moves is still well worth a spin. By the way, Microgaming has released quite a few branded slot games with Jurassic World my pick.
