Microgaming’s Innovative Poke The Guy Game Has Landed

By Brian Cullingworth, Last updated Jun 1, 2018

Latest addition catapults into summer to bring simple, silly fun to players

Featuring colourful graphics, outlandish animations and a wacky character, Poke The Guy is a first of its kind game from Microgaming, offering players a new and interactive way to win prizes.

The aim of the game is to take down The Guy – a giant monster terrorising a city – and to save its citizens from his silliness and mischief.

Players can select from an arsenal of weapons to catapult into the Guy, from a yellow rubber duck to a lethal piranha. Each object represents a range of bet values, giving players the freedom to select their weapon and wager of choice.

With a tap on the electrified slingshot, the object will be randomly propelled in the giant’s direction, with every item launched counting as a bet. The Guy will try to evade the projectiles, stomping on famous landmarks as he randomly appears on the map, each time donning a more comical pose than the last. Landing a successful hit on The Guy will award players a random payout with a chance to score multipliers of up to 500x the bet.

Poke The Guy has also been fully optimised for mobile, giving players the chance to boost their wins to new heights in portrait mode on any compatible device.

Easy to play, with the potential to generate significant prizes, Poke The Guy introduces simple, silly fun on a whole new scale. The unique game is now live with Microgaming and Quickfire operators. Check out the gameplay video here:

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.

We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.

His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
