South Park

Did you know that South Park now has 22 seasons? It’s kind of surreal thinking about that, when we still vividly remember religiously binge watching the first few seasons.

At the time it came out, the show was huge. And while it’s still popular today, it doesn’t reach the same height as it did between seasons four to thirteen. Perhaps that’s the reason this slot focuses exclusively on those older episodes?

South Park Slot Review

The game is played on a five reel board, with each reel being three symbols high. There are a total of 25 fixed paylines, which cannot be turned on or off to lower your total stake. To win, simply collect three or more identical icons in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel. All winning combinations must follow one of 25 fixed paylines, or the cash prize will not be granted.

There are lots of special features which read like a love letter to the fans. Available bonuses include colossal Wilds, randomly created Wilds, free spins, sticky Wilds with re-spins, a point-and-click special feature, and the Don’t Kill Kenny bonus. The vast majority of special features are mostly filler. The sole exception is Cartman’s point-and-click bonus, that has an insanely high maximum prize.

Theme & Symbols

It’s South Park. Its crude toilet humor mixed with a dash of surrealism that’ll make you question reality itself. The slot was clearly made for fans of the show. You’ll miss out on a bunch of jokes if you’ve never watched the earlier seasons. And rest assured, this is no game for people who can’t stand edgy humor. One of the bonuses has a guy constantly puking on a girl. That’s the kind of experience you’re signing up for.

The background image is quite basic, showing off the now famous bus stop. But don’t expect to spend a long time there. Most of the special features will change the background entirely. You’ll see the school, the park, and town itself, and even the front of Kyle’s house. All of your favorite spots shown off in NetEnt’s release.

Symbols in South Park are playing card royals and characters from the show. Like the background, it seems quite basic at first. But that’s not accounting for animations. Every character has their quips and famous quotes that play as you land winning combinations.

How to Play South Park

The slot is played on a 5×3 board with 25 fixed paylines. It’s quite fast-paced, never letting you have a moment’s rest. It has a medium variance, that trends towards high from time to time. Small wins are frequent, except when they aren’t. At that point, the game is probably preparing to award a special feature or a larger win. So you just have to be patient and let the prizes come to you!

NetEnt’s release has a lot of bonuses. It can even give Jumanji or Planet of the Apes a run for their money! The special features are quite diverse, and incorporate some of the most iconic scenes from the TV show. And yet, out of all of them, only Cartman’s war against the hippies will matter to most players. As that is the only bonus that has a chance of granting that juicy 5000x jackpot! All other bonuses, while funny and in-character for South Park, just don’t have the same winning potential.

There’s a total of 25 fixed paylines which cannot be turned on or off. That means your minimum bet starts at €0.25 per spin. If you’re looking to bet big, this slot has you covered.. sort of. The maximum stake is €125 for each spin. Not a small amount, but still less than the baseline €200 maximum bet we see in other NetEnt games.

South Park Bonus Features

For simplicity’s sake, it’s easier to split the special features into mini-bonuses and character bonuses. We’ll tackle the mini-bonuses first.

• Beefcake Wild

Cartman will appear on the reels, and gorge himself on Beefcake. This will cause a colossal Wild to appear on the second, third and fourth reel. There is a chance all reels will be completely covered, but it’s a rare sight.

• Terrance and Philip Wilds

Terrance and Philip invade the reels and start farting all over the place. Their farts create three Wild symbols on the second, third and fourth reel.

• Mr Hankey Wilds

Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo (yes, seriously) will bounce on the reels. He transforms three existing icons into Wilds on the first, third and fifth reel.

All character special features are activated by getting two Bonus icons on the third and fourth reel. Then, the appropriate character must appear on the fifth reel. Characters that can appear are Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman.

• Kyle Free Spins

Ten free spins are played. If the Ike Wild appears, Kyle will kick him off the reels. Ike will land beneath the reels, where he can grant a 2x multiplier, a 10x multiplier, 50 coins, 500 coins or three more free spins. What bonus you get depends where Ike lands.

• Stan Sticky Wilds and Re-spins

A sticky Wild appears in the middle of the third reel, and remains there for the next two re-spins. If more Wilds show up, they will also become sticky, and the number of re-spins resets to two. All the while, Stan will keep puking on Wendy. Thanks, NetEnt.

• Kenny Bonus Game

Kenny is a character most known for constantly dying. So in this special feature, you try and cheat fate by keeping him alive for as long as possible! Kenny goes through three different zones (Win, Danger and Multiplier), and has three lives. In the Win and Danger zones, he can collect cash prizes, while the multiplier zone grants multipliers. The bonus ends when Kenny runs out of lives, or reaches the multiplier zone.

• Cartman Point and Click Bonus

Cartman takes the fight to his eternal enemies: the hippies! Click on the bushes for Cartman to spray them and drive the hippies out. Each bush can reveal a 2x multiplier, cash prizes, a Bonus reset, or the police officer. Disturb the police officer twice, and the special feature ends.

Payouts

This release has a medium variance and a maximum win worth 5000x your total stake. South Park’s RTP is 96.7%, which is above the current industry average.
