Something Fruity Review

Even though a couple of decades has passed since the release of the first classic slots, the interest towards them has never faded and classic-styled slots are still relevant. The guys from Inspired Gaming seem to be fans of the classics since by looking at their portfolio you're more likely to come up to the conclusion that their games were developed like 20 years ago and no less.

Many slot enthusiasts appreciate efforts to revive classic slot games and keep the style in the eye of publicity for as long as possible so that its actuality never expires. It's getting hard to calculate how many developers stick to the trend of releasing fruit-styled slots and the entire niche feels like an assembly line timelessly producing more and more pub fruit games. Something Fruity complements Inspired's portfolio which already comprises more than 10 classic-styled fruity slots.

Something Fruity - Design and Symbols

It's still an enigma why do the developers produce their games with this cliched and jaded theme when the entire market is dominated by modern slots, or at least why not give it a touch of styling to make it correspond to the current level of visual appearance since Something Fruity really looks like a slot from the '90s. On one hand, it may even appeal to a particular interlayer of players who give their preference to old-school looking games, however, from another point of view it only highlights its obsolescence and already hints at what to expect from this title. It's classic by all means, the reels are set against a simple background with some gradient, and the reelset is framed in a way to make it look like a physical slot machine.

The soundtrack also fits the gameplay and the visual style perfectly, sticking to the classical sound of pub fruit games. A piece of relaxing beat plays whilst you spins the reels, complementing the atmosphere.

It does pick up the tempo when though when you hit bonus features to add a touch of thrill to the gameplay.

When it comes to the symbols, you already know what to expect as the paytable offers a bunch of recognizable symbols without any kind of novelties. However, a more detailed look at the paytable, namely the symbol payouts, one thing becomes certain, Inspired Gaming has gone a little further than other developers desperately trying to occupy the niche, yet we'll talk about that in a short on the section covering the bonus features. Not to say that the symbols are split into highs and lows, though, it would be pretty accurate to divide them into 2 categories, regular and bonus ones. The pay symbols include in ascending order lemons, cherries, plums, oranges, grapes, watermelons, strawberries, and sevens, with the last one being a top-star here.

You'll require at least 3 adjacent symbols starting from the leftmost reel on a single line to score a win, and the highest payouts may be achieved by matching 5 instances of the same symbols on a line. True to the style, Something Fruity is a rewarding game indeed and you can even benefit from the low pays, however, landing the winning combos usually turns out to be a challenging task.

• Sevens - 100x of the bet.
• Strawberries - 50x of the bet.
• Watermelons / Grapes - 10x of the bet.
• Oranges / Plums - 7.5x of the bet.
• Cherries / Lemons - 5x of the bet.

Something Fruity - Technical Info

In terms of the technical aspects, Inspired Gaming's taken a straightforward approach without reinventing anything and making the figures stick to the average values of classic-styled slots.

Thus, we get a slightly lower than the average level within the industry of 96% RTP rate, which is at 95.68%. Generally, pub fruit slots go from one extreme to another when it comes to the risk, being either too brutal or instead relaxing. The volatility level has not been disclosed, however, based on our personal experience, we believe it to be low or low-medium since the wins occur fairly often and you'll get a lot of those smaller wins to keep you afloat during the session.

The actions take place on a common 5x3 sized layout with 9 ways to play. Players drop in by setting bets from 0.2$ to 20$ per spin. What is most impressive about Inspired's title is the maximum potential, which is extremely decent when taking into consideration the volatility level. You can hope for a win of up to 12,500x on a single spin here, which is 250,000$ when playing with the max bet option available.

Something Fruity - Bonus Features

As you might have already though, the game boasts a pretty authentic feature set, and as already mentioned before, it's partially related to the symbols. However, the feature set itself include commons extras including Wilds and Free Spins, though, the way they work and come into play somehow manages to make Something Fruity a standout from the niche in this context.

The Free Spins feature is the heart of the game and it can be activated in 2 ways. Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols, which are represented by the stars, anywhere onto the grid triggers the bonus game, and the more symbols you manage to land, the more spins you'll get.

Thus, 3, 4, and 5 Scatters award 5, 10, and 25 Free Spins respectively. Moreover, the feature can be retriggered by landing more Scatters to get 5, 10, or 25 spins.

 As alluded to earlier, all the symbols in Something Fruity can be split into regular and bonus. The low-paying ones, to be more precise lemons, cherries, plums, and oranges are the second key to triggering the Free Spins feature. Every 3-of-a-kind combo with the above-mentioned symbols trigger the Free Spins feature, with lemons and cherries awarding 1 spin, and plums and oranges awarding 2 spins. You can get more spins during the Feature in the same way, however, this time plums and oranges will award only 1 spin, though, you'll benefit from a 0.5x of the bet cash prize by landing 3 instances of the bonus symbols.

Following the regulars comes the Wild symbol, which is a female joker. It acts as a substitute to any other regular symbols, assisting you in making winning combinations or enhancing already existing ones, though, it only appears on the three middle reels.

Moreover, it doesn't have any value so you won't benefit from a cash prize when landing a line of Wilds. All the Wilds appear in Stacks, so it's possible to land a 1x3 sized Wild to cover the entire reel. During the Free Spins round, all the Wilds landing onto the grid expand, or to be more precise Nudge to cover the entire reel.

The last but not least feature is the Spin Chance, which is common to all Inspired Gaming's slots. It gives you a chance to throw a spin in case your balance is lower than the current price of play yet still greater than zero, in other words, you can gamble all remaining credits for a chance to win a spin at the current bet.

Something Fruity - Verdict

All said and done, Inspired Gaming did a great job of developing this one. It really stands out from the niche of classic fruity slots thanks to the moderate volatility, decent payouts, and of course the features. During our test, the Free Spins popped up like in every 10 spins. Not every single Free Spins round would lead to big wins, or at times you may get nothing, but there's still a great chance to hit the jackpot or at least a decent amount when the bonus game triggers than often.

In a nutshell, those who are not into the theme may not get anything here to get super fired, though otherwise, it's definitely worth a spin or two.
