The Karate Kid was an immensely popular martial arts movies series. Now Microgaming aims to cash in on that popularity through a comic online slot titled Karate Pig. Like the hero of the movies, Karate Pig is a martial arts expert. But he has another skill as well, which is sushi cookery. Both avatars of the Karate Pig appear as symbols on the reels and in the bonus games on the second screen. The karate expert offers a jackpot line payout of 750 coins. The sushi chef triggers the bonus game.

Microgaming has provided a multi level bonus game, which will be a major attraction when the Karate Pig slot game goes live at Microgaming online casinos in April. Three or more scatter bonus symbols appearing anywhere on the reels start the bonus game. The second screen opens on a dojo where the player is asked to choose between the Pork Chop Bonus and the Hammer Bonus. In the Pork Chop bonus the players chooses from six barrels in order to win bonus credits. In the Hammer Bonus the player chooses from six tarps to win bonus credits. Each time the bonus is triggered the player will be awarded a karate belt of the next highest color. When the bonus game is triggered for the seventh time the player will be awarded the highest black belt and will be taken to the second level of the bonus game, which is titled Final Showdown. In this round the Karate Pig is pitted against his nemesis and is given three chances to defeat his opponent.

The Microgaming Karate Pig online video slot has several other interesting and attractive features. One of them is the free spins bonus round. This round is activated when the special Free Spins symbols appear anywhere on the first and the last reels at the same time. The player is awarded 15 free spins at the same betting parameters as in the spin that triggered this feature. The only difference is that all payouts will be doubled. If the Free Spins symbols appear on the first and last reels during the free spins then the feature will be retriggered.

The other special symbol in the Microgaming Karate Pig slot game is the Karate Pig logo. It is the wild symbol and can appear stacked on the reels. The Karate Pig logo symbol also offers the highest line payouts. Five such symbols in an active payline award a payout of 2,000 coins. The Japanese aspect of the theme is enhanced through the other symbols. Karate Pig will go live at Microgaming online casinos like All Slots, Roxy Palace and Gaming Club.
