National Lampoon's Vacation Slot Machine
I try out this new slot machine, based on my favorite Christmas movie of all time. These videos are intended for 18+ only. 📝 Subscribe here: https://www.yout. National Lampoon’s Vacation slot is based on the 1983 big hit movie of the same name. Starring Chevy Chase, this comedy follows the Griswold family on their epic road trip to Walley World, an amazing theme park in California. Fun for the whole family to watch with great humour, WMS want to bring a light-hearted side to gaming using this classic. Setup of the National Lampoon's Vacation Slot Before you spin, you get the option to choose more frequent bonuses. This will add 20 coins to your spin – in return for the features kicking in more often. Bets start at 40c without the extra, and 60c with it.
The biggest mistakes you never noticed in Vegas Vacation (1997). This is the first film in the National Lampoon's Vacation series not to bear the National Lampoon. Vegas vacation Chevy Chase, Randy Quaid and Beverly D'Angelo return in the fourth installment of the blockbuster 'Vacation' series. With Dad's prompting, the Griswold family reluctantly hits the road for another hilarious vacation, this time to the glitzy mecca of Elvis-impersonators, slot machines and showgirls: Las Vegas.
- A fun and interactive new slot from WMS based on the famous TV series, The Simpsons
- Housed in the Gamescape cabinet, players can use their hands to play the bonuses
- Lots of rewards and big payouts available through different features, with all your favourite characters from the show
The Simpsons is one of the best known and widely loved TV series across the Globe. With its brilliant humour, and characters we can all relate to, The Simpsons has grown to become a household name that is instantly recognizable. Is it any wonder then that SG Gaming, and the subsidiary WMS have created a fantastic slot from this hit TV series?
Originally showcased at the Global Gaming Expo back in 2016, The Simpsons slot has since become hugely popular and there are plenty of reasons for this. Firstly let’s start with the housing unit, the Gamescape cabinet, featuring three gorgeous HD displays including a huge 40 inch screen at the top, an extra wide display panel and an interactive 10.4 inch tablet at the bottom with multitouch support for players to interactive with. It’s fair to say that even the stunning display used for Willy Wonka Dream Factory slot isn’t at this high a standard. At the very top is an eye-catching, rather elegant display of some of the most well-known Simpsons characters which feature in the slot itself, and to top it all off the machine features motion detectors to add a truly immersive experience and make the bonuses a lot more fun. In all, the Gamescape cabinet really brings players into the Simpsons world and truly stands out from the crowd, so you’ll know exactly where to find it at the casino.

The Simpsons Slot Bonuses and Features
Going into more detail about the game itself, The Simpsons slot features a 5Ă—5 layout, which is slightly unusual, with wins triggered from left to right. The idea is to obtain a winning combination using symbols that, of course, feature our favourite characters from the show. Here I have ranked them in ascending order based on their value:
- Duff Beer, Santa’s Little Helper, Snowball II, Blinky (Three-eyed Fish) and Milkshake (lowest value)
- Chief Wiggam, Krusty the Clown, Moe Sizlack and Apu
- Homer Simpson
- The Simpsons Logo (most valuable)
The Simpsons Logo is wild for all symbols apart from Homer Jackpot and The Doughnut symbols. The Homer Jackpot symbol is wild for the Homer symbol, and only appears on line 2. Five of these at max bet awards the Top Jackpot.
The Mystery Symbol Feature: Before the reel spin begins, The Mystery Symbol Feature is activated and each of the four corner reels contains a number of positions which are randomly replaced with symbols excluding Homer Jackpot. Each of the remaining reels contains positions which are replaced with all symbols that appear in the base game apart from Homer Jackpot, The Doughnut and The Simpsons Logo.
Cloning Feature: During the base game, if a spin doesn’t contain 4 matching Respin Feature or Donut Wheel Bonus trigger symbols on the 4 corner reels, the Cloning Feature may be triggered. During this, before the reel spin initiates, any column may switch to an alternate set of reels, excluding the 4 corner reels. For each column that switches, all positions on that column apart from the 4 corner reels will stop at the same symbol. If the position on line 2 stops at Homer Jackpot, all other positions in that column apart from the 4 corner reels will also stop at Homer Jackpot.
Respin Feature: If 5 Homer Jackpots do not appear on line 2, 4 matching Homer, Apu, Moe, Krusty or Chief Wiggam symbols on the 4 corner reels will trigger the respin feature, moving the game to the associated character’s location of the triggering symbol. Note that The Simpsons Logo does not count towards this feature. A single respin is awarded. Any Simpsons Logo symbols transform into the respin character symbol, while Homer Jackpot transforms into Homer if he is the respin character symbol. These are held for the duration of the feature. If the up arrow appears on the screen, pays are increased and the arrow transforms into the respin character symbol, with up to 4 of these being available. If an additional respin character symbol appears, another respin is awarded. All respin scatter pays are multiplied by the bet multiplier. Below is a table of the respin scatter pays:
If 5 Homer Jackpots do not appear on line 2 during any wagered spin that doesn’t trigger the Respin Feature or Donut Wheel Bonus, then the following features with the associated locations may be triggered:
Homer’s Monorail Madness – Springfield Nuclear Power Plant
Each monorail car displays a credit prize of between 5x and 1000x the bet multiplier. A win window, 1-7 cars wide and 3 cars tall will appear over part of the monorail. After it stops, all credit prizes within the window are awarded.
Apu’s Scrat-cha-pa-looza – Kwik-E-Mart
With the provided ticket, reveal all 6 sections to find 1-3 pairs of matching symbols before the reels stop spinning. For each pair you reveal, each of that symbol on the screen is replaced with the Wild symbol, or Double Wild when high roller bets are active. If a pair of Homer symbols are revealed, both Homer and Homer Jackpot will be replaced. One or more Double Wild doubles the pay line when involved in a winning combination.
Moe’s Pranks a Lot – Moe’s
Again before the reels stop spinning, choose 1 of the 4 names presented to reveal a random multiplier, which will be applied to all wins. This is between 2-50x for non-high roller bets, and 5-100x for high roller bets.
Krusty’s It’s Cobblering Time – Krustylu Studios
Fire the pies at Krusty before the reels stop spinning, with 3-25 pies landing on random reel positions, placing a Wild symbol when non-high roller bets are active, or Double Wild symbols when high roller bets are active. These are wild for The Simpsons logo. One or more Double Wild doubles the pay line if involved in a winning combination. Pies cannot land on either of these two symbols.
Wiggum-a-rol – Lard Lad Donuts
This feature can only be triggered if at least 3 Chief Wiggum symbols appear on the screen and is chosen for at least one of the replacements in the Mystery Symbol Feature. The Wiggum Card symbol is placed over each Chief Wiggum symbol. Choose one to obtain an award which differs for high and non-high rollers bets.
Donut Wheel Bonus: This is one of the more exciting bonuses in the game, and is triggered by four Doughnut symbols on the four corner reels. Catch between 7-26 doughnut sprinkles as they fall with your hands using the motion sensors; if none are attempted to be caught the game will automatically collect them for you. The colour of the sprinkles presents different rewards:
- Blue Sprinkles: Each blue sprinkle awards an additional free spin, with a maximum of 5 to be collected.
- Red Sprinkles: These award a Wild that locks into a random reel position at the start of the free spins and remains locked for the entire bonus. Up to 10 can be collected.
- Green Sprinkles: Up to 9 of these can be collected, each increasing the multiplier by 1 during the free spins.
- White Sprinkles: These award a mystery symbol that locks into a random reel position at the start of the free spins and remains locked for the remainder of the bonus. Between 5 and 15 of these can be collected.
After the sprinkles stop falling, the number of free spins appears on the doughnut (between 3 and 15). Homer then bites a number to award the free spins. A different set of reels is used for this bonus, with the winning combinations identical apart from Homer Jackpot and The Doughnut symbol do not appear, and the respin feature and location features are unavailable.
Conclusion
The Simpson’s Slot is easily one of the most, if not the most, interactive and entertaining slots there is. The motion sensors add a brilliant new element to the game making it significantly more fun, and that’s very fitting for a slot which is based on The Simpsons. The bonuses are plentiful with various rewards available, and if played right The Simpsons slot can bring in significant profits. It’s definitely one of our favourite slots out there, and definitely worth trying out.
Other mistake: In this film, the oldest son of Catherine and Eddie is named Denny. In the original film, his name was Dale. He looks the same (although a different actor used) so it's under the assumption it's the same kid.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, when Clark is driving down the street looking at the map, there are 4 kids roller blading in the street. In one shot, one of the kids jumps onto a parkway lawn to avoid being hit by Clark's bad driving. Next shot, when they pan back to the kids, all 4 are still on the street.
Deliberate mistake: In the final scene when the four cars are driving away there is a road sign that shows how many miles it is to Chicago (where the main characters are from). In reality there would not be such a sign because there is not one direct route from Vegas to Chicago. A typical road sign would show the nearest cities.
Factual error: After checking-in at the Mirage, Clark is sitting by his hotel room window admiring the northward view of the strip. Based on the view he must actually be sitting at the nearby Treasure Island hotel.
Continuity mistake: In the first breakfast scene the ketchup bottle located between Clark and Rusty moves and at times vanishes between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Eddie and Clark are at the buffet, the cook has the two pots of chicken and beef, but the signs are in the wrong place. So he picks up the chicken and places it in the spot where it is supposed to go. He is about to put down the beef sign where it's supposed to go, and you see him pick up the chicken sign AGAIN and place it in the right spot, as well as the other sign.
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie when Clark Crashes into Wayne Newton's house you can see the hood of the tour van is not damaged. A few scenes later when they pull up to the casino the hood has a lot more damage to it.(01:15:22)
JamesPVisible crew/equipment: At the beginning of the movie when Clark is entering his house and the camera angle is from inside, just as he opens the door there is something red on his front porch. If you look at any of the previous scenes, that red thing isn't there. It's the bottom of a sunscreen being used to block the bright sunlight (which would have flooded the camera) behind Clark as he enters the house.(00:01:44)
JamesPAudio problem: When the whole family is at the Siegfried and Roy show Clark is asked to participate and they make him disappear and he doesn?t come back. At one point Rusty says 'I wonder where Dad went' and Ellen responds with 'I don't have a clue'. If you read Ellen?s lips she is actually saying 'I don?t know' and waves her hands.(00:20:21)
JamesPOther mistake: Most evident in the massage scene, Jilly's gold ID bracelet on his left wrist is inscribed with the name 'Jerry'. Jilly is played by Jerry Weintraub.
Factual error: The club where Vicky works is advertised as being located on the strip but is actually on Paradise Rd. across from Hard Rock.
Continuity mistake: Clark gives the blackjack dealer $200 and asks for chips. Even though the dealer never give him any chips, in the next shot we see he has chips in front of him and he's already placed one in the bet area. In the next shot the dealer asks him to place his bet and we see that the amount of $5 and $25 chips in his stack far exceeds $200.(00:14:50)
Continuity mistake: When Clark and Eddie go to the casino to get all Clark's money back, they walk up to the table and there is already a folded twenty dollar bill there. Then it shows Clark puting twenty down the same way.

Continuity mistake: When Rusty Griswold first gets his fake ID, he walks in to the Riviera Casino and goes up to the bar. When he tries to order a drink, the bartender asks for ID, right when he is doing this, he lays down a napkin, and then the scene switches and he lays the same napkin down in the same place again.
Continuity mistake: In the scene after Clark cashes a check to go to the card table Eddie orders a blue drink in a large glass. In the next shot when they walk away from the table Eddie's drink magically turns green. Then in the scene where they meet Wayne Newton, Eddie's drink is blue again.
Continuity mistake: When the guy takes the picture of Rusty, he's smiling a lot, but when you see it later in the movie, you see that he looks sort of confused in it, not smiling.
tylerasktaylorsteckleralexdennyContinuity mistake: When the mom is with Wayne Newton, after she was covered with pasta, she has a noodle in her hair. Later we see it dangling in front of her face to look more messy.
Continuity mistake: When Rusty takes his fake ID photo, he places his right hand directly over some numbers on the bottom of the 'license.' In the next shot, his hand has moved over significantly.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie when Clark is driving home, he skids into his driveway where it is visible that the Ford Expedition is crooked and about three feet from the bike. In the next scene the Expedition is straight and right next to the bike, so that he steps on it when he gets out.(00:01:21)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie when Clark and his family sit down at the kitchen table to talk about their Vegas Vacation, watch the fruit basket in the middle of the table. It's there when they go to sit down and it's gone in the next scene. Every time it shows the kids it's there and every time it shows Clark and Ellen it's gone.(00:02:32)
