We’ve gotten a sneak peek of Sock Hop Slots and we were surprised to find it isn’t really related to Showbiz Slots. It does, however, model the latest slots offerings from Pogo (like Ali Baba Slots and the special Spooky Slots) with a story mode and ranks and badges. It features a character named Ducky and we believe the story will center around his 50’s-inspired musical career.
The graphics for the game’s reels include musical notes, stars, pianos and the main character Ducky. The slot machine itself is modeled after a jukebox: the arm of the machine is an old-style microphone! Each rank will be represented by a guitar which will sit above the pay table to the left of the machine.
The story will advance via musical notes gained by getting a Ducky symbol on the reels (perhaps a few times before a musical note is awarded). The ranks will be achieved as players collect the musical notes. There will be 5 badges, awarded at ranks 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.

We’ve gotten a little bit more information about Operation Mania for you, this time it’s more detailed information on the badges and ranks and mini items you’ll be able to earn in this upcoming downloadable game.
There will be (not 50, but) 51 ranks in Operation Mania, and as with most Pogo game ranks, each will have a name. The first and last are “Anesthesia Technician” and “Super Surgeon”. To advance in rank you will cure patients. For each rank you earn, you will also earn a picture to hang on your hospital wall.
Five of the six Operation Mania badges will be awarded at levels 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50. (We assume that also, as with most deluxe/downloadable games, you’ll receive a badge just for trying out the game, somewhere between ranks 0 and 1.)
We’ve shown you the Operation Mania mini items, but now we also can report that you will receive a full set of mini items (not sure what order they’ll be awarded in yet) at ranks 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45.
In addition, the game will feature a “trophy room” where you can display trophies you have received for various in-game feats (kind of like achievements, if you are familiar with the Xbox achievement system or “postcards” from the recent Slingo Quest games). Some will probably be very difficult to acquire.

The badges for Trivial Pursuit have been made! So far there are six of them, all featuring the multi-colored ‘pie’ game piece and a Pogo character (the Word Whomp gopher, Tex Carter, Meep, a Tiki, and more). There’s not a whole lot more information about this game yet, but we’ll let you know first when we receive any news, as always!

If you’re a fan of Spooky Slots and the updated Ali Baba Slots, you’ll be glad to hear that Pogo is working on a new story-based slot machine game called Sock Hop Slots. The 50 ranks will be depicted as guitars (from a flying V to triple neck electric guitar) and there will be 5 badges. As with Ali Baba Slots and Spooky Slots, Sock Hop Slots will advance ranks by story bonuses.
Update 8/5: Sock Hop Slots and Showbiz Slots III are seemingly the same thing, and the game is planned to be released as “Sock Hop Slots”.

It’s possible that Showbiz Slots III is in the works; we could be seeing badges and game graphics soon. There’s no word yet on whether this will replace Showbiz Slots I and II (like the new Ali Baba replaced the old) or if it’ll be a true third in the trilogy, adding to the Showbiz Slots collection and storyline. We’ll keep you posted as we find and receive more details from the community.
