IGT Family Guy Slot to Go Online… and On Mobile? Could it Be?

18+

2015 is going to be quite a year for casino games.

First we are getting the IGT MegaJackpots mobile slots. Then, at some point, we’ll be getting NetEnt’s Guns & Roses, followed by Microgaming’s Bridesmaid slot.

But not to be outdone, IGT have realised that if they want to hog the new slots limelight, they are going to have to step up their game and provide us with a big brand name in 2015.

And whilst we can’t tell if the NetEnt or Microgaming release is going to be any good, we can tell you the new Family Guy slot for online and mobile casinos is going to be epic.

Because it’s technically already a hit.

From the casino floor to your device

Of course, being IGT they created the Family Guy slot machine back in 2012. It’s been hugely popular with players, especially in Vegas where it dominates.

So whilst we can’t show you exactly what the online or mobile slot version will look like, we can show you a preview of the game as it stands today:

What will be different once it’s transferred online?

Other than telling us that the Family Guy online slot is coming, IGT have been curiously quiet about the whole thing. Probably because it’s still a way to go before it’s a reality.

However, having had a quick preview, it seems that all the main characters and bonus features will be alive and present… except for one thing which we can’t confirm; we’re not sure it’s going to come with the 6 multi-level progressive jackpots.

But, seeing as their MegaJackpots slots are here now, this would be a great opportunity to add to their big slot jackpot machines? We can only hope.

Tell me more about the Family Guy slot

It’s a 5 reel and 30 paylines of crude, rude and random fun.

We are going to assume you’re a fan of the TV show to have read this far, in which case… good for you! Shame it’s not as good as it once was, hey? But still good late night TV watching, especially any Stewie & Brian episodes.

The random awards

You know what this game reminded us of? The South Park video slot. Reason being it has tons of bonus features, most of which are completely random and are triggered at any time on screen.

Because if there’s one thing Family Guy is good at is creating random funny moments. So what better way to celebrate the show than with random funny features?

• Peter’s Random Credit Award: through a haze of farts you’ll get an instant win.
• Meg’s Multipliers: grants you a multiplier on a win.
• Chris Wild Symbols: turn normal symbols into wilds for that spin.
• Stewie’s Random Wilds: blasts extra stacked wild symbols for the next spin.
• Lois Scatter Pays: Lois symbol turns scatter.
• Brian’s Bonus Boost: extra cash wins.

Not a bad way to start right? But of course, there’s so very much more.

The 6 bonus game features

3 world domination globe symbols anywhere on the reels will trigger a mini game where you spin a globe and then play on one of 6 possible features.

• The Drunken Clam Bonus: Click me bonus. Choose the right Pantucket Patriot Ale and watch as the guys down their beers for extra bonus cash.
• The Chicken Fight Bonus: Peter battles with the chicken and you get cash for winning the fight.
• Lois Hot Free Spins: It’s sexy time! Lois grants you free spins, with additional Lois wilds on the reels.
• Chris Closet Bonus: Pick the right closet door and get multipliers to add to your game win.
• Brian’s Big Dig: Win free spins and multipliers as you dig up the best trash in the yard.
• Stewie’s World Domination Progressives: This is the one we hope to see every time! You’ll be transported to a parallel universe where your goal will be to kill Lois, and therefore, win one of the 6 progressive jackpots in the game. Get that bitch!

At least you know that variety won’t be a problem here.

We mentioned it was going to be mobile right?

Yeap, yeap, yeap.

From the first stills we saw, IGT has every intention of releasing this brand new release as both an online and mobile slot.

Will it be at the same time? Probably. They’ve been pretty good at making sure that all their brand new games show up both on all devices as soon as they are ready to go.

On that note; how long do we have to wait?

Updated June 2015: The release date of the Family Guy online slot has now been confirmed as the 10th of December 2015.

So yes, we still have a little while to wait before this IGT machine hit our screens.

But we just had to tell you about it.

After all, nothing says ‘Christmas times’ like poop and fart joke.

Why we are excited?

You read everything above right? The multitude of features? The classic cut-away scenes reminding you of how brilliantly funny it can be?

Here’s a slot that’s as much a mix of entertainment, with a chance at some solid big wins.

And if it does come to our screen with the 6 multi-level progressive jackpots, which we don’t see why it shouldn’t, then we will even go as far as to say that it could be the best slots of 2015. Oh giggidy!

Now go play on some at a great IGT casino to remind yourself why IGT are still kings of slots.
