Title: 1 of a kind?
Post by: 474lsa on August 25, 2019, 05:33:25 PM: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTRA-RARE-Family-Feud-Slot-Machine-Fully-Working-Like-New-Never-in-a-Casino/113863870981? (https://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTRA-RARE-Family-Feud-Slot-Machine-Fully-Working-Like-New-Never-in-a-Casino/113863870981?)

Here's something you will NEVER see for sale anywhere. A Family Feud slot machine made by Silicon Gaming, makers of the beloved Odyssey video slot machine. I have NEVER seen one of these for sale before. Not only is this a rare find, but this particular machine was a demo machine and never installed in a casino. For all intents and purposes, it's like brand new. It's still on the original factory shipping pallet!

This game is unique in many respects. It contains graphics and music/sound effects from the original Family Feud show. It was also one of the first machines to have MULTIPLE video displays - three in total. And there's also a working camera that will take the player's picture and insert it into game play during the bonus round!

Like the Odyssey, this game has a selectable menu of up to 6 games. In addition to Family Feud Multi Line Slot, FF Multi Spin Slot, FF Bonus Poker and FF Jacks Or Better, this machine also includes Banana Rama Deluxe (a classic Odyssey game) and 3 Reel Hold Up. And as this was a demo machine, there is a control tab on the main screen that allows the user access to functions not allowed on a normal slot machine - add credits, force certain win and lose scenarios, etc. This is a FANTASTIC feature for the home user.

What were they asking for it? The listing has been pulled already.

Probably never see another one. Wish I could have viewed the Ebay listing though.

I love learning about the games as much as playing them. (Maybe more!)

Going down the rabbit hole, looks as if there was an IGT version of Family Feud at the MGM Grand, with Richard Dawson in attendance:
