Some Observations About the Adams Family Slots
International Game Technologies has developed an Addams Family slot machine. It might sound like an altogether kooky idea to turn the Addams Family into a casino game, but this is just the latest of several slots games based on classic television shows.
IGT made Wheel of Fortune the most succesful slot machine in the last generation Since Addams Family combines the sounds and graphics of television's oddest ensemble with a progressive jackpot in the six and seven figures, the Addams Family progressive will probably be a monster hit in the slots industry.
The Progressive
The Addams Family progressive is a 5 reel, 9 line slots game. Since Addams Family is a nickel slot machine, the qualifying bet for the progressive is only 45 cents. The progressive jackpot resets at $100,000, so the $0.45 is one of the best plays in the casino.
Bonus Games
Addams Family slot machines
come with several different bonus options, each of which offers the same
odds of winning or losing. The bonus option is activated when three
bonus symbols align on one of the paylines. This leads you into the
bonus game, which happens about once every 100 spins.
Fry Fester and Cousin Its' Bad Hair Day are my two favorites. Market Madness is an interesting game, where you are given one of four cash options in sequential order. You can choose to "hold" or move onto the next monster, which might have more or less money. So when you choose, you might lose what you have or double on your previous earnings.
One that seemed popular at the casino was Pick to Win. As the name implies, Pick to Win is a more conventional slot machine mini-game. You will see four Lurches pop up on the screen. You choose one of the four monsters. There might be a dollar amount, or there might be a "next" or "collect" symbol behind each. So long as you do not hit collect, you can continue to pick from a lineup of monsters, building your stash of coins.
John Astin and the Original Music
This slot machine has an authentic quality to it. John Astin, who played the original Gomez Addams, lends his voice talents to the presentation. Whenever something important happens in the game, Gomez delivers one of his classic lines.
The famous Addams Family theme song plays at key moments of the game, too. Along with nice retro artwork on the game box and in the graphics, baby boomers will feel the nostalgia of their childhood when they play this game.
My guess is The Addams Family slot machine is just a harbinger of things to come. You know if there's an Addams Family slots out there, then IGT would also manufacture a Munsters slot machine. And they might not be quite as scary, but another family, the Beverly Hillbillies, have their own slot machine game now too.
But I see a time in a few years when most of the classic television shows will have their own slot machine. Can Gilligan's Island be that far in the future?
