The game’s theme is oddly fitting. Just like in real life, you will have provocative people trying to bait you into making the bad decision, it seems like Microgaming’s logic was to make the Guy so annoying that you’d just keep trying to hit him out of frustration, which, by extent, would mean the company would mooch some cash off of you. As there are no paylines, there are also no coin denominations. You can just bet anywhere between $0.01 up to $30 per spin.

There are also no game icons for you to collect or for wins to be awarded by. The only thing that pays is when you throw your weapon of choice and hit the guy. The weapons you can use are a rubber duck, knife, ice cream, piranha and a giant tree, all of which produce satisfactory pained guy faces when they land a hit.

There are also no special features at all to help gamblers get to their desired winnings, either. Regular wins can flow from 2x up to 18x, and there’s a major jump to 500x which is supposed to be the game’s jackpot. That said, the fast gameplay and the fact you have absolutely no control over anything makes it very difficult to justify even trying this title. The last time Microgaming gave this a try in Mega Money Rush, you could control the vehicle to better secure your position. Here, it’s entirely random, with no features or anything to make it interesting.

1. Visit any of Microgaming-powered casinos and Poke the Guy.
2. Place your bet.
3. Hit the Spin button.
4. Wipe that smug look from his face once and for all.
