RELEASE DATE

Sometime in 2019.

THE PITCH

“Earmarked for a 2019 release, the game will feature the Village People’s most memorable hits, including dance-floor classics such as YMCA, Go West and Macho Man, which triggered a disco revolution worldwide and launched the band as the ‘Kings of Disco’.”

WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR

Fans of the group can expect a nostalgic trip in online slot form that will feature all the iconic characters, including the Biker, Cowboy and Construction Worker, who will accompany players on a journey back to the 70s disco scene as they spin to win for big rewards.

The new title will join Microgaming’s portfolio of branded content and will be made available on all platforms exclusively to Microgaming operators.
