The Hangover


IGT - The Hangover Slot - Themed after the 2009 film set in Las Vegas, this slot allows you to play up to four games at the same time with the screen splitting into quarters.  It also offers deleted scenes from the film as well as original dialog and music from the movie, edited of course.

Bonus Rounds - 3 bonus symbols get you to a bonus round.  All bonus rounds start off by choosing from a large collection of Polaroids to determine which bonus game you will play.  Certain pictures belong to certain bonus games varying from requiring 5 pictures to as little as 2 but once you find all the pictures associated with that bonus, that's the game you play.  This game has multiple interactive bonus rounds including 4 progressives.

In the progressive bonus rounds, before you start the game, it will tell you how many picks you get to find the progressive jackpot. If you find the progressive before you use up all your picks, you still get to finish making them to increase your winnings. 

1. Alan's Progressive Bonus (the most valuable) - In this bonus, you pick from a collection of man purses

2. Phil's Progressive Bonus - In this bonus, you pick from a collection of hospital bracelets

3. Stu's Progressive  Bonus - In this bonus, you pick from a collection of teeth (while Stu sings his ballad to the tiger.)

4. Doug's Progressive Bonus - In this bonus, you pick from various casino chips
5. Mr Chow's Freaky Free Spin Bonus - Here you are trying to get a collection of casino chips before you run out of free spins.  If you find 7, you move onto the next bonus round.  Once the free spin bonus round is over, you get a chance to "Pick the Right Doug" for additional credits.

6. Stun Gun Bonus - You need to rapidly tap the green button on the screen to shock Alan to determine your credit prize.

7. Villa Bonus - Follow Stu around the suite as we wanders from room to room and select an item from each to determine your credit prize.  If you find baby Carlos he increases the bonus multipliers.  A blowup doll awards you random big prizes but avoid the tiger because he ends the bonus round.

8. The Best Little Bonus - Select from wedding packages to determine your credit prize.  Avoid the cell phone call from Melissa because it ends the bonus round.  Candy shop plays while you play.

9. Cash Match - If you find matching cash photo you win instant credits and the bonus round ends.
