HOLLYWOOD SLOT PLAYERS ENJOY MEN IN BLACK™
(Tunica, MS, December 28, 2004)---Hollywood Casino® now offers MEN IN BLACK™.
This multi-denomination 15 Line themed slot machine is based on the ever-popular MEN IN BLACK (MIB) movies. Players enjoy the game as much as the movies.
When a player lands three or more Alien Bonus symbols on an active pay line, the “Find the Alien Bonus” is launched. The screen first transitions to a room with the MIB headquarters where Agent Zed cues the player to begin selecting file folders from a field of twenty. Each folder reveals one of three things: a credit amount, Frank the Pug or an Alien Wanted Poster. Players continue selecting folders until an Alien Wanted Poster is found.
The screen then transitions to a scene in the park where five characters are idle. The player’s goal is to find the Alien pictured in the poster. The player selects one character from the total on screen. If the character reveals himself as an Alien, the player is awarded a large credit; if not, the player is awarded a smaller credit.
Players won’t be “alien”ated from the winnings when they land three or more scattered Neuralizer symbols, triggering the Neuralizer Bonus. During this bonus round, players are prompted to select one of the triggering Neuralizer symbols to reveal an award. The player can win a large credit amount, a smaller credit amount with an extra pick or a trigger to the Top Box Bonus. The player can choose up to ten times if they continue selecting the extra pick award!

The Top Box Bonus is triggered from within the Neuralizer Bonus. The mechanical feature in the Top Box is a scrolling device that displays a string of illuminated digits. As the digits scroll from right to left, anywhere between three and five digits in the middle of the string are highlighted to form different, random combinations. The scroll begins quickly and slows down before eventually stopping on a three to five-digit combination that is awarded to the player in credits.
