Family Powers Slot Machine
What is more exciting than a super hero with supernatural powers? A whole family of superheroes.
You might recognise the plot of a famous animation movie, but we are actually here to talk about Family Powers, an exciting video slot game created by the developers at Booming Games. If you like futuristic gadgets, fighting crime and super dogs, you are in for a treat with this game! Not to mention the many ways to wing big cash rewards along the way.
So without further ado, let’s explore the fantastic universe of Family powers and find out more about the comic book game theme in details.
When Super Heroes Go Home
Family Powers focuses around the routine of a family of super crime fighters, including their dog, and their amazing lives of crime fighting.
The background of the game shows a distorted view of a secret room filled with monitors and mysterious machines. A friendly yellow robot hovers around and stares at the players, while the reels stand in the middle of a light blue screen.
The music brings back memories from James Bond movies and fits with the theme of the game perfectly. Overall, the graphic design is not exceptional but it does the trick to bring players into the game universe.
How to Play
Family Powers features five spinning reels covered in various symbols and 25 paylines in total, running in all directions.
Use the arrows located below the reels in order to increase or decrease the size of your total bet for the next spin. You can also click the Gear icon located in the upper left-hand corner to access a separated settings menu. There, you will be able to modify you bet per line as well as the number of paylines you wish to bet on. Remember that the size of your future rewards will depend on two parameters: the nature of the symbols you land on activated paylines and the size of your initial wager. In other words, you need to play big to win big. And that is what the Max Bet switch is for. Otherwise, hit the yellow Spin button to validate your settings and start up the reels – and keep your fingers crossed!
After a win, you can click the Gamble button to play an optional double-or-nothing mini game. Guess correctly what is hidden in the bag between a thief and a stash of cash to double your winnings! But be prepared to lose them all should you give the wrong answer.
The last gameplay option you have is the Autoplay mode. Click the corresponding button on the main screen to set up a predetermined number of automatic spins. That way, you will let the computer take the wheel for a little while. Autoplay is the perfect option for you if you know exactly what your favourite bet settings are, if you do not care for being interrupted during your game! You can always go back to regular play mode at any time.
Meet the Family
You will fine nine different symbols on the reels of Family Powers, divided into two categories.
The first group consists of symbols loosely inspired by playing cards, with a number 7, 8, 9 and the Ace. Their digital design makes them appear rather uninspired, and their payout is lower than for the other symbols.
The latter half of the paytable introduces the family of super heroes / secret agents around which the game revolves, whilst they may not have the instant fame of icons like those on the Ironman slot, they are memorable. The first character is obviously the Villain, followed by the family Dog, the Son, Mother and Father. With higher payouts and more exciting designs and animations, the game starts getting interesting! And we are not even done yet.
Super Bonuses
The final two symbols have their own special powers, which will help spice up your game.
The Bags of cash are the Wild cards of Family Powers, here to substitute for any basic symbol listed previously. They can help you create some extra winning combinations all over the reels and turn into a real game changer!
Lastly, the P symbol, which probably stands for “Powers”, is the Scatter icon of Family Powers. This means that it can trigger wins regardless of its position on the reels, and three P’s or more also award a 10 Free Spin Bonus! If you are so lucky as to retrigger it, you will access the level 2 bonus round where all your winnings are doubled. A little more luck will take you to level 3, which logically features a x3 win multiplier!
Fight Crime and Win Big!
Family Powers features all the elements of a classic slot game, but a rather low design quality. It is up to the players to give it a try to see whether it is a deal breaker or not.
