THE SIMPSONS – a new wide area progressive slot game
featuring beloved characters and settings from the record-breaking
popular animated television series of the same name. THE
SIMPSONS slot game is showcased on the groundbreaking and
immersive Gamescape™ cabinet.
THE SIMPSONS boasts six bonus games

series including the Donut Wheel Bonus, Moe's Pranks A Lot, Apu's

revolutionary Gamescape cabinet, which is designed to
envelop players in the gaming experience with three vivid HD
displays, a 40-inch top screen, and an ergonomic 10.4-inch tablet
multi-touch button panel display, all integrated for coordinated
game play graphics that give players the sensation of being
immersed in the world of Homer and friends. The extra wide display
allows for the game's bonus features to expand the game array up to
24 reels, giving players more excitement and more ways to win.
THE SIMPSONS also integrates an industry-first gesture
control element utilizing motion sensor technology to allow the
player to physically interact with the game in some of the bonus
features.

SIMPSONS, which is based on the hugely popular and iconic
television show," said Derik

love this game."

inability to adapt to, and offer products that keep pace with,
evolving technology, including any failure of our investment of
significant resources in our R&D efforts; inability to develop
