NetEnt's South Park Slot Released

By: Russell Potvin, October 10, 2013

South Park has now gone mobile.

God help us.

The popular animated television program now has a slot game dedicated to it, and leave it up to the people at Net Entertainment to be able to show it off to the world in exactly the right way.

And the Swedish-based games developer is making a big splash with this one, which was unveiled to the public on September 24. In fact, it is the first time in the company's history, which goes back over a decade, that it has released the online and mobile versions of a slot game at the very same time. Previously the pattern has been for the online game to develop a following, then create a mobile version of it.

Obviously there has not been much doubt as to the level of popularity or the demand that the South Park Slot would have coming right out of the box. At NetEnt, they are expecting that when all is said and done, this will be the biggest release they will have had during the entire 2013 calendar year. That would take some doing, since the "Scarface" slot that features real clips from the 1983 film has been a phenomenal success.

The way most boosters of this game are putting it, if you are familiar with South Park this game will certainly not do anything to disappoint you. If you are not familiar with it, you may even be more amused.

For people who are pure slot aficionados, this game has a lot to offer in the way of features. Among them are a free spins game, sticky wilds, assorted bonus games, mini-game features and sticky wilds.

One of the bonus games is the Cartman bonus, where players can win a huge payout of €625,000. Would that change your lifestyle. Don't lie - so would the possible win that can be garnered from the "Try Not to Kill Kenny" mini-game, which is €69,500.

Let's talk about fundamentals for a moment. South Park has five reels and 25 paylines, so you can imagine that under any normal circumstances, there are many ways for a player to win. This slot offering converts very well over to its mobile version, and frankly, there is no reason why it shouldn't, since NetEnt has made that kind of thing an art form. They are excellent at being able to maintain the speed of the game and clarity of the graphics.

This could well be a game-changing event for the people at Net Entertainment, which has, as far as most people's perceptions are concerned, flown under the radar in comparison with some of the more well-known online casino software makers in the business, like Microgaming and Playtech. The fact is, though the sheer number of games available through NetEnt may not equal that of the aforementioned duo, no one would argue that the quality of their games, and the graphics that are a part of them, is second to none. And no one is more on the cutting edge than the people at NetEnt.

Just ask the guys from South Park.
