Three party favors, on reels 1, 3 and 5, would trigger the bonus (there was also the rare surprise party which was an instant bonus trigger). The men would dance to each song with pretty strong animation for the day. This version, befitting the theme, added in 5 songs from the Village People (there were 6 characters, but 2 of them had the same song attached). Like many in the earlier Jackpot Party line of games, Village People Party had a really fun picking bonus that could get quite exciting. While I wish the game would get remade, the fact that it was based on a licensed property doesn’t make me feel too optimistic. When I was younger I used to love playing the game at Foxwoods, along with many other of the early WMS games, but they removed it a number of years back as they slowly began whittling down their older machines.
The game is approaching 15 years old at this point, but thankfully it can still be found here and there, especially in Las Vegas, where I seek it out every visit. One of the first slots I can remember regularly playing was this gem, Village People Party, developed by WMS.
