Fruit Party is not as much a game about partying with fruits, as it is fruit cocktail themed. That’s what you’re going to find on the symbols for the most part, plus the fruit ingredients that can be used in forming them. From that point of view, the slot looks like it’s half cocktail themed and half classic fruit slot, since these are all familiar images. It’s not a great looking game, but let’s see how the features work out, maybe they’ll make it worth your time.
Fruit Party is a 5 reel slot designed by Amaya, offering its players 9 paylines and a huge $125,000 jackpot. Add to that the bonus game, scatter symbols and a wild, and you get a slot machine that sounds pretty good on paper.
Features of Fruit Party
Though you will find a decent range of features, none of them truly amaze you with what they can do for you. There are no huge multipliers here, no free spins and overall it feels average at best, though when you place that initial feeling side by side with its top jackpot, things are looking up.
The coconut filled cocktail is the one that looks like the tastiest one, and it’s the one serving as the wild feature as well. The usual Amaya limit is placed on how useful this wild is, as it is only allowed to fill in for other cocktail symbols (and there are only two others). The five fruit symbols or the scatters are not influenced by the wild’s abilities. Just because it’s not as impressive as wilds from other games, it doesn’t mean that we don’t want to get it as often as possible. This wild will give you the top jackpot, given the opportunity.
Two scatters are offered as well, one called Party Scatter, the other Mystery Scatter. They offer payouts of up to 2,700 credits, as long as you get 3+ identical symbols with one of them.
Party Pick Feature
There is only one symbol in Fruit Party that gathers all the fruits together, then places the word Bonus in front of them. You guessed it, it’s the trigger for the bonus game called Party Pick. The presence of at least three Bonus icons is required, though getting four or five is better, with multipliers of 2x and 3x offered, respectively.
All you have to do here is click on various items and you find out what multipliers you’ve won, all of them used on the total bet of that round. You combine these multipliers with the ones worth 1x to 3x that the number of scatters gave you, to find out how much you’ve won. Each pick gets you either 5x, 2x or 1x the value of the triggering bet. Getting the word “Collect” from one of your picks ends the feature. The maximum prize value is 2,700 credits.
Betting options and jackpots
Fruit Party’s requirements are minimal, as you only have to use one coin to trigger a spin, and it can have its lowest value of $0.01 (highest is $5). It’s a good idea to activate all 9 lines with your bets though, ideally with the maximum of 5 coins, not just with 1 coin. With all 45 coins selected, the bets can go up to $225.
That $225 bet per spin can get you $125,000, in case you get the big prize and its 25,000 coins. It’s not an easy prize to get, but it’s something that will motivate you to play the game.
Design and symbols
The design feels dated, and it’s not just because it uses the classic fruit symbols. The colors of the fruits are too flat, the drawing is crude for most of them, and the colors are not vivid enough. It’s the kind of game design that belongs about a decade into the past.
Symbols: Coconut Cocktail (wild, 5,000x), Bonus Fruits (scatter), Party Scatter/Mystery Scatter (scatters), Pink Cocktail (1,600x), Blue Cocktail (800x), Cherries (500x), Orange (300x), Grapes (200x), Watermelon (100x) and Lemon (60x).
Is It Worth Playing?
Fruit Party will do the right thing with its top prizes, squeeze through when it comes to features and it will fail when it comes to graphics. The prize is the one that matters though, so you might as well give it a try and see how it works out.
This Fruit party slot is offered by all online casinos with Amaya software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
