The Fruit Megaways Review
After a couple of Megaways-infused remakes of old releases, the developer has finally gathered the “confidence” to create something brand new with the licenced engine. On further inspection that might be somewhat of an exaggeration however, as they’ve clearly allowed themselves to be heavily inspired by the many fruit slots you’ll find in their back catalog.
We couldn’t find a release from them that’s quite like The Fruit Megaways however, but we might have overlooked something. The game is defined by the bonus round multiplier that increases by +1 per free spin, up to x200 at the most. The base game is barebones, and you don’t even get cascading wins. Plenty of retriggers are probably needed to crack the advertised 50,000x potential, and we hope for a bit more originality in the next effort.
The Red 7 Wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you complete winning combos, and it’s also the highest value symbol in the game. Landing 6 of a kind on a payline awards 50x your stake, while the top-tier Bar and Bell symbols pay 5x and 7.5x for the same in comparison.
The Free Spins Star Scatter symbol can land anywhere, and you need 4, 5 or 6 on the same spin to trigger the Bonus Round. This awards 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively, and you get 5, 10, 15 or 20 extra spins if you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters, respectively, during the feature.
Retriggers are key to winning big, as this is how you can progress towards ever-larger multipliers. The bonus round win multiplier starts at x1, and it increases by +1 per free spin. With a minimum of 9 retriggers, you can get the multiplier up to x200 at the most.
Non-UK players can purchase the bonus round directly from the in-game menu, and this will set you back 75x the stake. This awards at least 4 scatters on the spin that follows.
We get some smaller base game payouts here and there, before we purchase the bonus round at 1:50 into the 3:20-minute highlights video. You can see for yourself how far along the multiplier trail we got by hitting the play button below.
The developer got themselves warmed up to the BTG-licenced engine by first injecting a few back-catalog releases with the Megaways juice, and The Fruit Megaways pays homage to their fruity roots. It can only go upwards from here in terms of creativity, but we understand that they might wanna start somewhat slow, before attempting something more spectacular and daring.
The fruity theme is as generic as they come, and the base game offers nothing but the dynamic reels experience that provide occasional top-up wins for the most part. Having the bonus round multiplier grow per free spin can be a thrill-ride for sure, but getting close to the x200-rung is far from an easy task. Too many retriggers are required, but at least you have a goal to stretch yourself towards with this game.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Multiplier increases +1 per free spin | Very generic and no base game features |
| Retrigger FS for up to x200 multiplier | RTP of 95.84 % is a tad below average |
| Win up to 50,000x your stake |
