Fruity Bonanza by JDB Gaming offers a unique blend of classic fruit symbols and a modern space theme. Despite the celestial backdrop, the game retains the familiar charm of traditional slots with its vibrant fruit icons.
Fruity Bonanza utilizes a scatter pays mechanic, meaning winning combinations are formed by landing matching symbols anywhere on adjacent reels. Unlike traditional paylines, wins are awarded for clusters of symbols. The number of ways to win varies depending on the number of symbols displayed on each reel (ranging from 2,025 to a maximum of 32,400). Cascading reels add another layer of excitement.
Symbols:
A mix of classic fruit symbols (bells, melons, oranges, plums, cherries) and playing card symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10) populate the reels. The highest paying symbols are the bells and fruits, awarding up to 100x and 80x your bet respectively for a six-symbol combination. The Red 7 symbol acts as the Wild, substituting for all regular symbols to complete winning combinations. It appears only on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
The Star symbol is the Scatter, triggering the Free Spins bonus round. Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters anywhere on the reels awards 10, 15, 20, or 30 free spins respectively. During free spins, additional diamond symbols are added to the reels, increasing the chance of activating the Hold & Spin feature.
Bonus Features:
There are two main bonus features in Fruity Bonanza: Free Spins and Hold & Spin.
- Free Spins: As mentioned earlier, the Free Spins round is triggered by landing 3 or more scatters. Players receive 10 to 30 free spins with increased chances of landing diamonds, which activate the Hold & Spin feature.
- Hold & Spin: This exciting bonus is activated by landing 6 or more diamond symbols anywhere on the reels. The regular symbols disappear, and the game transitions to a new set of reels containing only red and blue diamond symbols. Players receive 3 respins, with each new diamond symbol resetting the respins back to 3. Each diamond holds a multiplier value (between 0.2x and 30x your bet) or a jackpot prize (Mini, Major, Grand). The bonus round ends if no new diamonds appear after 3 respins. All diamond values, including multipliers and jackpots, are then combined and applied to your total bet amount for a final payout.
Fruity Bonanza offers a Bonus Buy option, allowing players to purchase the Free Spins round instantly for 50x their current bet. This feature adds convenience for players who want to directly access the bonus round without waiting to trigger it organically.
