The Guy has arrived at Microgaming online casinos like Royal Vegas, 32Red and All Slots. He is the villain of Poke the Guy instant win game. Described variously as the son of a beast and terrifying monster, the Guy towers tall over the city created on the screen. He stomps about destroying monuments like the Eiffel Tower and the Pyramids that adorn the fictional city. So irritating are his impish grin and wacky mannerisms that you will love to hit him and bring him down.

The missiles that you can lay your hands are as crazy as the giant. You can pick from a rubber duck, a small jackfruit, a fish, a kitchen knife and what resembles a volcanic mountain. Each weapon offers a bet range that increases in the order of the weapons. You first select a weapon and bring it in the electrified catapult. Then you select a bet value from the range for that weapon. The bet across all missiles can be varied from $0.01 to $30.00. Then you click the catapult to set that particular round of the instant win game in motion.

The Guy moves around the city showing off outrageous poses as if taunting you to hit him. Poke the Guy is not a game of skill. You do not aim at the beast and actually have no role to play in the outcome. Whether you hit the Guy or miss him is determined by the random number generator embedded in the software. If you miss then you lose the bet but you can still enjoy the action on the screen. Each weapon has a different but appropriate animation for the miss. For, example the fish creates a pond where it lands. The animations for a hit are equally comical. If you hit the Guy with the kitchen knife, for instance, he will be sliced into pieces. A hit will also award a random bet multiplier that can take one of six values from 2x to 500x. You total amount won based on the bet and multiplier will be displayed on the screen.

Poke the Guy is modernised version of the old fashioned scratch card. The scratch cards had images hidden in cells that had fixed locations on the card. Some of the scratch cards did have win animations. But in Poke the Guy Microgaming has created a scratch card that resembles an arcade game. It is live on both desktop and mobile gaming platforms at Microgaming online casinos.
