Gameplay Screenshots

Picture a beach shack kitchen where four cartoon animals stand poised with cleavers. That's the opening tableau in Pulped: The First Cut, Light & Wonder's tropical fruit slicer that turns a 5×4 grid into a 15,120-ways-to-win playground. The mouse, pig, toucan and duck up top aren't decoration. They're the engine.

Here's how the slicing works. A First Cut Wild can drop onto reels 2, 3 or 4. When it does, the chef directly above wakes up and chops nearby symbols (any neighbour, in any direction) into their split versions. More symbols on the grid means more ways formed instantly. One catch: chefs only activate when winning ways already exist in the base game, so this multiplies wins rather than inventing them from thin air. Each symbol can be split once per spin, max.

Running parallel to the chef antics is a Fruit Bowl above the reels. Skewer scatters drop in, sometimes as overlays on regular fruit, and accumulate session-by-session until the bowl tips into the Jackpot Picker. This is a four-tier doors round: Mini 10x, Minor 50x, Major 250x and the headline Grand 1,250x. Reveal three matching jackpots to claim. Reveal three Chef's Hats and you flip into modifier mode, picking up either a x4 multiplier on all prizes or a Pick Again token for a second jackpot.

Free Spins kick in on 3, 4 or 5 Bonus scatters (9, 10 or 12 spins respectively). Inside the feature, any First Cut Wild becomes sticky and keeps re-triggering its chef every spin. The Fruit Bowl pauses though, since skewer collection is a base-game-only mechanic. If both features fire on the same spin, the picker plays first. A Buy Pass on the left rail buys direct entry for 100x stake and nudges RTP from 96.10% to 96.27%.

The visuals are pure tropical cabana. Saturated lemons, oranges and grapes anchor the lows, with burgers, starfruit, melon and strawberry handling the premium picks. Volatility runs high, and the 8,400x ceiling sits across the full feature tree, not on any one hit. Is the base game a touch quiet between features? Honestly, yes. But when the chefs finally wake up, the cascading splits hit fast.
