This software manufacturer is particularly well known for taking popular movies and shows and making high-quality slot games out of them. Thus, the developers there have also laid their hands on none other than the famous animated sitcom Family Guy. In this slot of the same name, you will get to see all your most (and least) favorite characters in their natural habitat.
And as you play, be sure to look up just above the reels every so often. You will see some funny and/or typical quotes of the main characters. Some of them you might even recognize, and they will bring you right back to a certain episode or scene for some extra laughs. As far as the graphics here go, you might as well be watching the actual show.
So, the visuals are great, and there’s even the occasional animated sequence happening on the reels. In addition, you have the familiar theme song playing as the game’s backing track. And what better way to set the right mood than to play the appropriate music, right? But as it is with any game, this one is so much more than its appearance.
Lucky There’s a Family Guy!
For starters, let’s have a good look at the game’s setup and structure. Beginning with the layout, you will see that there’s hardly anything unusual about it. It features the most common 5-reel-by-3-row grid and comes with 30 paylines altogether. These paylines are set in position, however, so you don’t have the opportunity to adjust them or play with fewer paylines.
In addition, as this online slot game comes packed with a variety of different bonus features, stakes are certainly on the higher end. They start off at a minimum bet of 50c per single spin. Then, the betting range leads all the way up to a massive $1,500 per spin. There is minimal room for customization here as far as the betting options go. In fact, the same also goes for the game settings, such as graphics quality and such.
Now let’s talk symbols. They start off with the four lower-value ones, each of which has to do with one or the other characters of the show. For example, the two lowest-paying icons are that of a beer bottle and a TV set. Can you guess whose these are? Next up, slightly higher up in value is a teddy bear and a laser gun. Then we have the mid- and higher-value character symbols, starting off with Meg and Chris. After that, we have Stewie in his most menacing pose. And offering the same payouts as him is Brian the dog. Then, finally, we have Peter and Lois, both offering the same value as one another.
However, the game’s most lucrative icon is the logo symbol. It also acts as the game’s Wild and can appear in any position on the reels. The Wild can substitute for most of the game’s other standard icons and help form winning combos. The only exception is the World Bonus symbol.
Meet the Griffins…and Their Special Features!
When we said this slot game was feature-packed, we were by no means kidding. Literally every character here has a feature, and some even have more than just one. So, without further ado, let’s introduce the first one.
Since we’ve already mentioned the World Bonus, let’s begin there. It can land only on reels 2, 3, and 4, and you will need to land all three of these at the same time. This will trigger the World Bonus feature, where you will need to spin a globe. Once the globe stops spinning, it will reward you one of three possible features: the Drunken Clam, Chicken Fight!, and Lois’ Hot Free Spins. The Drunken Clam bonus will see the four guys sitting at a table drinking beer. You will need to select a character to win a cash prize of 25x up to a whopping 1,000 times your total stake. In addition, there’s a multiplier that increases as unselected characters collapse. After that, you also get to select beer taps for yet another cash prize, and you remain in the game until your character collapses and is the only one still conscious.
The Chicken Fight! bonus feature is where you will need to survive three rounds of boxing as either Peter or the chicken. Each round will offer you up to 7 picks, and at the end of it all, you can gain a hefty cash prize. And lastly, Lois’ Hot Free Spins will provide you with a total of 10 free spins with the possibility of a retrigger for an additional 5 free spins. And even that’s not all yet.
Look out for the Griffin Family Mystery feature. This works as a random bonus feature that can occur at any time during gameplay. And it can actually manifest one of four different character bonuses. First is Peter’s feature, where he farts on the screen and awards a cash prize of up to 5,000 times your coin value.
Then there’s Stewie’s feature, which will see the little evil mastermind add up to 3 Wild symbols on the reels. Next up, we have Lois’ feature, which will indicate 1 to 3 of the character symbols on the reels. These will give you additional pays. Then, finally, there’s Brian’s feature, which will allow for you to trigger the World Bonus feature with the help of only 1 or 2 Bonus symbols.
The features in Family Guy can certainly be overwhelming and may require a little time to take in. And you are welcome to take all the time you need with the free version of the game we have on this very page. But you will be sure to find that this slot is as fun and entertaining as it is saturated. You have the cool visuals, the soundtrack, and an array of winning opportunities before you. True, the stakes are a bit expensive, but that would be the only drawback. And with this game’s medium variance, frequent wins will be sure to make up for the bets.
