For decades the game show ‘Family Fortunes‘ has been a massive success. It even survived having Max Bygraves present it so it must be good. Now Fremantle Media have produced a video slots game of the show and I imagine out of 100 people asked, a very high number would say they really enjoy playing this game. ‘Family Fortunes’ is a five reel and 20 payline game and it’s set in a TV studio. The accompanying music is from the TV show and that really adds to the theme of the game. A big disappointment though is the symbols used in the game. We simply get the Jack to Ace playing cards, four different coloured stars, a question mark plus Big Money, Double Money and the Family Fortunes logo. To show the lack of thought put into the symbols, the wild symbol is just that, a symbol with the word ‘wild’ written on it. The wild symbol is really useful though as it can certainly produce a steady flow of wins in this game.

The minimum stake for a spin is just £0.01 and the maximum £500. Simply decide on a stake that you feel comfortable with because this is a fun game to play so don’t let financial worries get in the way of your enjoyment. Have a good look through the paytable and enjoy some free games before you risk your account balance. That way you’ll be fully prepared to play the game and increase your chance of getting some good wins. Playing the game is no problem at all. All the required control buttons are neatly placed at the bottom of the screen. There’s an autospin feature in ‘Family Fortunes’ but it only goes up to ten spins. You can play this game whenever and wherever you want on your mobile devices and on your PC without the need for a download.

The bonus features in this game totally fit in with the television series format. There’s Double Money for starters and to get into this round you need three Double Money symbols on the reels. You’re given an unlimited number of free spins and an added bonus is the fact winning combinations count in both directions with any winnings doubled. It says ‘unlimited’ but that’s not really the case. Try to avoid the red crosses because three of those on the small screen situated below the reels ends the round. There’s also Big Money and to activate this you require three or more of the Big Money scatter symbols to end up anywhere on the reels. This is a really great round to play because it’s just like the final game in the television series. You get given a question and you have to pick the most popular answers from the six that are given to you. If you can work out what the top answer is then your winnings get doubled. It’s good to see a bonus round in a video slots game where you actually have to do a spot of thinking.

You’ll certainly enjoy playing this slots game even if you’re not a fan of the TV show. The lack of imagination with the symbols is a bit of a letdown but game play is actually quite enjoyable. The bonus rounds fit in perfectly with the theme and the Big Money game, although not easy to trigger, is definitely the highlight of this slots game.
