Since our brand is built on our streamers and their personalities, we aren’t strict about how we operate, but in chat, that is a different story.
Streamers on websites like Twitch and YouTube need to follow community guidelines, or they can be banned. On Twitch, you can’t share personal information or dox people, for example, and some words and phrases are prohibited from chat.
However, while it is common sense not to say hateful things, sometimes people forget that there are unwritten rules in the chat.
From guidance from our streamers, here are some unwritten rules in Fruity streams and in chat!
1: Never Say Please To The Slots
In chat, one of our top unwritten rules is: never say please to the slots. When I first heard this, I was very confused, but the boys explained.
Saying “please” to the slots is something that the chat does when the streamers step away for a quick break. Scotty says that usually when this happens, they come back to a big bonus or win, and the chair ends up being a better streamer.
Boys, you’d better watch out for your day job, I think those leather gaming chairs are coming for your profession.
2: If You’re Not Getting Bonuses, Leave
On the other hand, Aisley says that if you’re not getting any good bonuses, leave and let the almighty Chair take over. In the Fruity Slots universe, the chair is like a character of its own, apparently with unlimited luck. It’s gospel to let the chair do its job if the game is not going well.
So if one of our streamers is having a bad game, they can walk away and let the chair work its mysterious magic to make a bonus appear.
It’s like when you were a child and your favourite video game wasn’t loading, so you pretended you didn’t care, looked away from the screen, and then, no more loading screen.
3: Ride the Chair Like a Jockey After A Huge Win
Yes, we know that sounds strange, but Aisley says it’s an unspoken rule. After you get a huge win, you must ride the chair like you’re a jockey in the Grand National. Specifically, you must do this after getting a win on Big Time Gaming slots.
I didn’t ask Aisley why he identified slots from a specific provider, but I have a few theories as to why. Here they are:
- Because of Big Time Gaming’s Megaways mechanic, you can win big through hundreds of combinations, all the more reason to celebrate.
- BTG slots also have huge multiplier reels, which can be built up in the bonus round. If you land a bonus on stream, it is more than likely you’ll win big.
- BTG is known for its slow build-ups on the reels and for dishing out big wins at the end. Maybe that’s cause for a jockey celebration?
4: Rub The Lamp During A Genie Jackpot Megaways Trigger Tease
One slot-specific rule while on stream is to always rub the lamp during a trigger tease in Genie Jackpot Megaways. I’d assume this is for luck, but because this slot employs the Megaways mechanic, the symbols are always changing.
Therefore, if you think you’re being teased during the triggering bonus stage, rub the lamp for good luck, and you might find it helps.
Understand that this is just a Fruity superstition, but if you do it, maybe the genie will grant you a wish!
And there you have it, there are some of our unwritten rules while on stream.
