Addams Family Slot Machines
IGT’s popular Addams Family slot machines are progressive jackpot video slots with a cool Addams Family theme. Horror-themed stuff seems to lend itself to slot machine design for whatever reason. And you can’t help but see the Addams Family slots that IGT puts out–the most recent design for the Addams Family slots features Lurch’s giant head sticking way up above the machine itself. Addams Family slot machines are nickel slots, so you can put a few nickels into these machines and chase after that (minimum) $100,000 progressive jackpot.
The Addams Family TV Show
The hilarious and “dark” Addams Family was on television for just two years but we still remember the characters fondly today. From the creepy and hairy Cousin It to the Goth-like figure of the daughter Wednesday. The memorable theme song (complete with finger snaps) is still recognizable even to people who have never seen the TV show. Several movies and video games have brought the Addams Family back into pop culture, though it’s been a few years since anything Addams Family has appeared.
The narration and audio effects on Addams Family slot machines are provided by none other than John Astin, the voice of Gomez Addams in the TV show. Gomez was, of course, the leader of the pack, the dark and morbid playboy that everyone loved. Expect to get teased by Mr. Astin when you cash out, but he does give you lots of weird and spooky “encouragement”
while you play.
Addams Family Slot Machine Details
Addams Family slot machines have nine paylines with a max bet of five credits per line for a maximum bet of forty-five credits per pull. Forty-five nickels (the minimum max bet) is just $2.25, enough to qualify you for the progressive jackpot. That jackpot is triggered by lining up five “Addams Family” icons on the top payline. Wagering just over $2 for a chance at winning at least $100,000 is not a bad deal.
The Addams Family Slots Bonus Games
Addams Family slot machines have a lot of different bonus games, always a popular feature at slot banks. According to the manufacturer, the average amount of pulls between bonus games appearing is just 100 pulls, which at $2.25 per pull is not exactly small bankroll friendly.
Addams Family Market Madness Slots
The most common bonus is called “Market Madness”. This happens when three “market madness” symbols appear on one payline, and it means you get to play the Market Madness bonus game. Of course, the figure of Gomez Addams guides you through this game.
Basically, this is a game of “Deal or No Deal”, as Gomez offers you different amounts of bonus cash–you can choose to decline the amount or accept it. Sometimes, when you decline an amount, you get even less the next time, and you’re only allowed to decline the cash once.
Addams Family Pick To Win Slots
The next type of bonus happens when you collect three “pick to win” symbols. This is another interactive bonus this time in the middle of a spooky graveyard. Choose from one of four headstones. Pick one, and you’ll see either a cash amount, a “collect” symbol, or a symbol that says “next.” The “collect” symbol ends the game.
Addams Family Fry Fester Slots
The final bonus game is called Fry Fester–and assembling three “Fry Fester” icons starts this bonus game. Basically, Uncle Fester gets electrocuted, and you’re supposed to hit buttons at a certain time to earn either a 5x or an 8x multiplier.
Stuffed with bonus opportunities and with that Addams Family attitude that fans of classic TV love, Addams Family slot machines are popular stops on any casino floor that carries them. The progressive jackpot makes the game even more attractive, though the bet size is not as adaptable as some of IGT’s machines.
