Play The Family II for Free

The Mafia might not be everyone’s idea of a just and respectable organisation, but the crime families certainly do make for some intense and fascinating stories. Just take a look at films like The Godfather, Goodfellas and Scarface, or TV shows such as The Sopranos. There is no doubt that this The Family II video slot has been designed with the style of those classic crime movies in mind. As such, punters should expect to see lots of noir-esque costumes with a distinct old-school vibe that is more like the gangster movies set in the 30s that anything more contemporary.

The visual display of this slot machine is up there with some of the best free online slots currently available to play on the market. Although, while the 3D aspect of the slot gives the game an impressive appearance, it could be said that the cartoon nature of the characters does make them feel a bit more like caricatures than truly frightening Mafia villains - but that’s probably for the best.

With 243 ways to win and a middling variance level, this slot machine from Nucleus Gaming should pay out a fairly reliable rate of wins. The size of the prizes might not be to every spinners’ liking, however, with a top line bet multiplier of just 300x when five Mafia bosses appear over adjacent reels from left to right. After that, five card icons will award 200x, five wads of cash or cigar symbols will go for 100x while five meat cleavers or Colosseum icons pay out 60x.

This slot machine can be played with a range of different bets. First of all, gamblers will need to choose their coin from the options go up to 1.00 coin. Then spinners will need to select a bet level between 1 and 5 before multiplying the whole thing by 25. All in all, the total wagers on offer start from 0.25 credits to the max bet level of 125.00 credits for the high roller.

If you’ve ever fancied yourself as a tough guy then we have some advice for you - don’t do it, because you’ll probably end up in jail! So, instead of joining the Mafia, why not have a few spins of this slot machine in which you can embark on a few bonus games to get your organised crime thrills. The game features the usual wild symbols that can replace other icons and scatters that will trigger some free spins with x2 wins. But, on top of that, there is a chance to play some more unique bonus elements with stacked gangster icons that can trigger re-spins and even a special feature should three appear on the reels at the same time.

Being in Mafia and participating in organised crime might be a very bad thing to do (don’t do it!) but we can’t seem to help ourselves when it comes to watching movies and TV shows about the “Family”. You’ll also find a number of Mafia themed video slots in the world of online gambling with titles such as The Slotfather by BetSoft, Don’s Millions from Cayetano Games and Downtown from 1x2 Gaming. Not all Mafias are of the Italian-American persuasion and you can find out more about Families from afar with slots like Crime Pays by WMS and Gangster Gamblers by Booming Games.

The Family II from Nucleus Gaming software takes punters deep into the dark world of organised crime where they might just grab a cut of the profits for themselves. Truth be told, there actually isn’t anything too intense or ghastly about the crime-themed slot, so it shouldn’t scare off too many players who are averse to the idea of the Mafia!
