If you are a fan of the Family Feud (called Family Fortunes in the UK) gameshow, then you should really enjoy this slot machine. Family Fortunes slots is a really good version of the Vegas game and can be enjoyed here for free - no download required to play and no email address needed.

Family Fortunes

Family Fortunes by Electracade is based on the extremely popular game show, Family Fortunes, that was broadcast on the British television from 1980 to 2002, sharing the concept with another popular show across the ocean - Family Feud, first launched in 1976 in USA, and still being aired today.

Electracade has a tradition of creating slots inspired by our favourite family shows and while Family Fortunes is not the only game show that's re-designed and transferred onto the reels, it's definitely one of the most iconic ones.

The concept of the show is simple - two families are placed opposite each other, competing for the main prize by answering a series of questions from everyday life. The main symbols are of course the charming and handsome game show host Vernon Kay, The Game's Logo, Big, Single, and Double Money symbols, Red X, A, K, Q, J and 10.

Gameplay, betting range and return to player percentage

Family Fortunes are played on 25 adjustable lines and with the coin value ranging from $0.01 to $25 on a single line. Players who are not afraid of high rolling gameplay style can activate all 25 paylines and increase the wager to the very maximum, betting $625 on a single spin.

Of course, you do not need to do this manually – Bet Max option is available and the player will maximise the bets with a single click. For uninterrupted play, Auto Play mode can be selected. In total, the game has 94.77% return to player percentage rate, which is a bit of a downer.

Family Fortunes bonus rounds and special features

Wild Star icon lands on reels 2, 3 and 4, replacing all other symbols except for the Scatter icon. When the symbols appear on the 3rd reel, Star Wild feature will be triggered and all the icons on the reel will become Wild, with extra Wilds potentially landing on reels 2 and 4.

Free Spins are unlocked by a combination of at least 3 Red X icons, positioned left to right on the connecting reels. This will start the most challenging and engaging part of the game, during which the players will try and answer the quiz questions before the buzzer goes off for three times. Free Spins will then be awarded in accordance with the player's final score.

Strong and weak points of Family Fortunes slot

The interactive bonus feature where the players will actually need to provide correct answers to the questions asked is definitely the best part of the game. Not only will you have a lot of fun, you will also get to directly influence the number of Free Spins since the score will determine the number of bonus round granted.

The return to player percentage is sadly not that hot – only 94.7%. This can be justified by the fact that Family Fortunes is, in a way, a high-roller game, with the total possible stake of over $600 and these types of slots often come with a lower RTP rate.

Family Fortune is one of those what-you-see-is-what-you-get types of slots, with no hidden aces or unpleasant surprises up its sleeve. Of course, this also means that you shouldn't hope for anything other than a fairly entertaining slot that reaches its true potential only on high limit bets, which is not what an average Joe likes to hear. Encouragingly enough, the Free Spins are re-triggerable and a buck or two can be saved, especially if you ace that Q&A part of the game.

AGS injects new life into game show and trivia slot genres with “Family Feud”

By Frank Legato

The TV game show Family Feud has been part of American popular culture since the1970s. The program, which has members of two families faceoff in a contest to find the most popular answers to a variety of general questions—as determined by behind-the-scenes surveys of audience members—has survived nearly four decades in various incarnations.

The TV game show’s continuing popularity has also made it appealing as a slot machine theme over the years, but never with as much authenticity as the new version from American Gaming Systems, being released as part of the slot-maker’s “It Pays To Know” series.

That series of games from AGS—already on the casino floors with titles like the hit “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!” and the more recent “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?”—centers around a patented “Trivia Bonus.” Bonus rounds feature multiple-choice trivia questions, with the highest bonus awards for guessing right the first time.

AGS game designers determined this style of bonus fits perfectly with a game like Family Feud, and Fremantle Media, owners of the TV game show, agreed, providing all the raw data AGS could ask for—thousands of the actual surveys, each of 100 audience members, from the television show’s archives.

“They provided us with pretty much all the surveys from the show,” says Andrew Burke, vice president of slot products for AGS. “There are over a thousand question types,” adds Kevin Reilly, assistant director of product management for AGS, “but every survey is just like the TV show—100 persons surveyed, and you’re trying to get the most popular answers.”

AGS also made a concerted effort to create an authentic portrayal of the popular TV show, from paying extra for separate licensing agreements for the show’s theme music and game transition sounds to framing the trivia bonuses to exactly replicate the formats of the quiz portions of the actual Family Feud television show.

In fact, this slot has just about everything the show has, outside of current host Steve Harvey, who has brought the show to the highest popularity and ratings in its history. Burke offers a tease for future sequels of the Family Feud slot, though. “What we tried to do with this game was to give it as many elements close to the real show as possible—except the host. We want to save some tricks for future games.”

Survey Says…

The great attention AGS paid to detail shows in the primary game as well as the trivia-quiz rounds that make up the game’s two main bonus events, which replicate the segments of the Family Feud show that involve the audience-survey quizzes.

However, Burke notes that the goal was to place the elements into a game that will be appealing to all slot players. So, like many AGS video slots before it, the Family Feud game is packed with bonuses, multipliers and mystery events. “There are three different bonus rounds, with some surprises hidden in the trigger symbols,” Burke says.

There also is a five-level progressive jackpot, with the amounts displayed on the large top-box LCD of its tall, portrait-style cabinet, called the Skytower. The progressives are won in the primary game by collecting four or more scattered “Instant Jackpot” symbols. While max-bet is required to win the progressives, players win fixed prizes for lining up the jackpot symbols at lower bets.

There also is a neat primary-game feature that occurs randomly—the middle reels will be highlighted by an “X,” and all the highlighted reel symbols will change to the same winning symbol. (The primary game is a 1,024-ways-to-win setup, with no paylines but wins for adjacent symbols.)

But the heart and soul of the game is in the two trivia bonuses, crafted on the lines of the main quiz segments of the TV show. The other bonus event is a free-spin round called “For the Win.” Which bonus event you get depends on a preliminary round triggered by four or more scattered “Game Board” symbols. The number of symbols triggering the bonus has significant play later on.

When the bonus is triggered, the Game Board symbols light up over a dimmed reel field. The player picks to reveal one of the three bonus events. There also is a hidden fixed prize award—if you select that, you still select again to get one of the three bonus events.

The first of the trivia bonuses, “Survey Says,” replicates one survey question from the show—for example, “Name something that tastes best fresh out of the oven,” or “Name something that is often misplaced”—and the player’s goal is to the top five audience responses from eight possibilities, before selecting the three answers that were not in the survey results.

Of course, every time you pick one of the losers, you hear that familiar buzzer while the red “X” flashes on the screen. Giving three wrong answers ends the bonus. However, if you pick the five right answers, an additional credit award is paid.

The other main quiz event is the “Fast Money Bonus,” based on the “Fast Money Round” in the TV show, in which contestants are asked to try to find the top answer to several different survey questions in rapid-fire order. Five questions—all based on actual surveys of 100 audience members—are presented, one at a time, just like on the show.

This is where the triggering spins come in—a multiplier is applied to all Fast Money awards according to the number of Game Board symbols that triggered the event—if four symbols triggered the bonus, awards are at 10X; five symbols, 20X; six, 30X; seven, 40X, and eight symbols, 100X.

The questions then appear in rapid succession, with bonus awards for picking any of the top three of six displayed audience responses. After all five questions are answered, the results are tallied and the total is increased by the multiplier, then multiplied by the line bet and awarded.

Each survey answer carries a point score corresponding to the number of audience members who gave that answer. At the end of the bonus, if the total sum of the player’s survey score is100 or more, an additional picking bonus is awarded, in which the player picks from three buzzers to reveal a prize.

The free-spin bonus is a unique event which, while themed to the show, will appeal to all slot players. The number of triggering spins determines the height of the reels, up to a maximum of 12 positions. When a red “X” appears on one the middle reels, it converts to a wild symbol and locks the reel. On the next spin, one of the remaining reels expands one position in height. The free-spin round lasts until three red “X” symbols appear.

According to Burke, this month will mark the widespread release of the new Family Feud game to casinos, and he anticipates a hit. “Historically, some other folks have launched Family Feud games, but I really feel this game is the truest to the show format,” he says. “It’s the best attempt at bringing the elements that make the show great as a slot game.

“This is, first, just a great brand. And I think we’ve done a fantastic job of making it true to the people who truly love the show. But I also think we’ve made it very true to real slot players. When you get into these bonus rounds, you can win big. We got the math on this game really right. You can come out of those bonus rounds with a big prize.”

“The iconic brand is going to drive people to this,” adds Reilly, “but the game will keep them there.”

It’s unlikely this game will be the first version of Family Feud from AGS. Burke reminds of the treasure trove of thousands of survey questions at the disposal of the slot-maker’s game designers. “I have a sense this game is going to be really popular, so certainly if it is, we’re going to continue down that road (with sequels),”Burke says. “We have a good partnership with the Fremantle Group, and we hope to support the Family Feud brand for some time to come.”

Burke wouldn’t say when to expect a follow-up featuring host Harvey, but nothing’s ruled out.

Hey, what about Richard Dawson?
