Fruit Fiesta Online Slot Review

If nostalgia and healthy eating are your bag then Fruit Fiesta, a five-reel, 15-paylines offering from the ever-popular Microgaming stable may well be the video slot for you. Along with a gentle nudge (thank you) towards the virtues of eating more fruit, Fruit Fiesta boasts intuitive gameplay and a sweet progressive jackpot.

Some of you may remember the three-reel version of the Fruit Fiesta video slot that came out a good few years back. Essentially, this updated variant provides better visuals and throws in two additional reels. Thus, Fruit Fiesta 2.0 has five colorful, fruit-packed reels taking up almost the entire screen with only a plain green backdrop and a paytable button for company. The Fruit Fiesta slot machine’s jackpot (9,000 times) is every bit as attractive as the vitamin C-packed produce spinning before your eyes. Of course, this doesn’t include the progressive jackpot, which is displayed at the top of the screen. The minimum bet is £0.05 per spin, while the maximum stands at £75. Do the maths and you’ll find a max wager of £450 could earn you a return of £675,000. Very tasty.

All of your fave fruit symbols from yesteryear are represented on the Fruit Fiesta online slot. Yes, we’re talking watermelons, pineapples, plums, oranges, apples, and lemons. Other non-fruity (yet still traditional) icons on show are bells, triple Bars, and sevens (of which there are several types). The apple, lemon, and rainbow-style sevens have the highest value. Five of the latter will net you a cool 750 credits.

The Fruit Fiesta avatar (a nicely arranged bowl of fruit) is the game’s wild, substituting for all other symbols except scatters. The payout is five, 45, and 450 credits for two, three, and four wilds respectively. Land five of them on any active payline and that healthy 9,000 credit jackpot we mentioned earlier will be all yours. The scatter emblem, which looks like an exquisitely sliced watermelon or an iguana roadkill depending on your point of view, pays out whenever at least three of them pop up in view. The win values (per total bet) stand at:

• Three scatters = four credits
• Four scatters = 40 credits
• Five scatters = 400 credits

Fruit Fiesta lacks any real bonus features to speak of so you may initially be a little disappointed if free spins and sub-games are your thing.

The Fruit Fiesta slot’s progressive jackpot tends to pay out handsome four-to-five-figure sums at least once a fortnight (on average). You’ll need to get five of the Fruit Fiesta wilds on the 15th payline, and be playing at the maximum coin level, to make it drop. Whilst it may not be the most visually appealing slot around, or provide much in the way of bonuses and features, Fruit Fiesta is a solid and at times rather enjoyable what-you-see-is-what-you-get old-school fruity. The lucrative scatters and potentially big progressive jackpot will keep you coming back for more.
