Fruit Party Slot Review
After indulging in the likes of Sweet Bonanza, which cost us a fair few fillings, Pragmatic Play is tempting us with a healthier alternative in the form of Fruity Party – a 7-reel Video Slot with an engaging Cluster Pays mechanic and 5,000x in max win potential.
Spin the reels of this mouth-watering release, and watch as blends of fruity goodness create cluster payouts. If you’re really lucky, you may even witness a variety of x2 Multipliers on fruit symbols, multiplying wins by up to x256.
In terms of design, Pragmatic Play has kept things relatively low-key. The backdrop reveals a blurred outdoor scene, with green trees, apple-shaped houses, and a blissful, blue sky. However, the soundtrack is upbeat and refreshing, with the pleasing tempo of steel pan drums to get you on your feet.
Fruit Party offers a fixed RTP of 96.50% and a high volatility rating, all packed into a respectable 5,000x max win potential. Pragmatic Play is serving up a fresh batch of fruit twists, and we’re here to try it out…
Base Game & Features
Consisting of 7 reels, 7 rows, and a Cluster Pays mechanic, Fruit Party triggers winning combinations when 5 or more identical symbols land horizontally or vertically adjacent on the grid.
The highest-paying symbol falls to Strawberries, followed by a variety of fruits & shapes, awarding payouts between 0.2x and 150x your bet. The game is free from Wild symbols, which is a little disappointing, but the Multiplier Feature quickly makes up for this.
Each time a winning cluster occurs, the Avalanche Feature kicks in, causing all winning symbols to be removed from the grid. This creates space for new symbols to fill the gaps and potentially create new winning clusters in a single spin.
Multiplier Feature
Throughout the base game and Free Spins mode, a special Multiplier Feature can randomly trigger.
With each spin, there is a chance for groups of paytable symbols to reveal x2 Multipliers, even if they fail to trigger a winning cluster. The total win of the cluster will be calculated and multiplied by its respective Multipliers, up to a maximum of x256.
Fruit Party Free Spins
Landing 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 Scatters in the base game triggers the Free Spins mode, awarding 10, 11, 12, 13, & 14 Free Spins, respectively.
During this mode, the Multiplier Feature triggers more frequently, awarding random Multipliers of x2 and x4, for a combined total of x256. The addition of a x4 Multiplier means the x256 Multiplier is more achievable.
Bonus Buy
Non-UK players can participate in the Free Spins mode for an additional 100x their current bet. Once purchased, the next spin will award 3 Scatters & 10 Free Spins (96.47%)
Fruit Party has a maximum win potential of 5,000x your bet. If a single session exceeds this, the current mode ends, and the player returns to the base game with the qualifying amount.
Our Honest Verdict
While Fruit Party isn’t the most jam-packed slot we’ve seen from Pragmatic Play, there are simple pleasures to be had during the Multilier Feature and Free Spins mode. To sum it up, Fruit Party is a feel-good release with a classic fruit theme and a recognisable Cluster Pays mechanic, engaging players in a 5,000x max win potential.
The Multiplier Feature in the base game doesn’t hit as often as we’d like, saving most of the volatility for the Free Spins mode. When they do hit, though, they can mark a winning cluster with a combined Multiplier of x256, so it’s worth sticking around for.
Pragmatic Play has classified this game as ‘highly volatile’, so you might want to play with a bigger balance. Although the Multiplier Feature is widely appealing, the game could have benefited from Wilds or Mystery symbols, especially when the Multiplier Feature is so ‘hit and miss’ throughout the base game.
In Free Spins, however, the Multiplier Feature does a complete 360, dropping in frequently, with the addition of a x4 Multiplier. While the maximum Multiplier of x256 doesn’t alter in this feature, the additional x4 Multiplier makes it all the more achievable.
All in all, Fruit Party offers a great experience for players with a soft spot for big Multipliers and potential; however, it could have benefited from additional features to make it that much sweeter.
