Juicy Fruits (Pragmatic Play) Review

Clearly inspired by Push Gaming’s Fat Rabbit, Pragmatic Play has beefed up the math model and released a somewhat unusual fruit slot where the reels are submerged in a giant cocktail (giant from our POV, at least). The base game will certainly give you a dry mouth, and the juicy bubbling background does not exactly dampen your lust for a cold drink or two.

Trigger the bonus round however, and you’re in for a potential thrill ride to the tune of 5,000x your stake. While Push Gaming had the core growing wild feature neatly entwined with the farming theme, this is not really the case with Juicy Fruits slot. Still, the excitement is carried over for sure, but the bonus round is a clear-cut “hit or miss” affair. When the roaming wild grows above a certain threshold you can literally feel the momentum shift, and you just know massive payouts are headed in your direction.

Juicy Fruits Features

The Crown Wild takes center stage in the Juicy Fruits slot, and it can land in sizes from 1x1 to 5x5 during base game play. As wilds usually do, it will step in to replace all regular pay symbols. The wild is even more prominent in the bonus round, and you trigger the free spins feature when you land at least 3 diamond scatters anywhere on the same spin.

You start with 6 free spins either way, and it’s all about collecting more diamond scatters.

You’ll see a Crown/Diamond meter above the reels, and each diamond scatter you collect is added to the meter. You get 1 to 3 extra spins for every 3 scatters you collect, and this also upgrades the size of the wandering crown wild.

The wild starts out as a regular 1x1 sized symbol, and it moves randomly around per spin. You can upgrade the wild to 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 in size, and you can also get extra spins up to 4 times. If you initially triggered the bonus round with 4 or 5 scatters, the meter will start with 1 or 2 scatters already collected.

Finally, non-UK players can purchase the bonus round for 100x the total stake, but you will need to switch off the Ante Bet feature to do this. The Ante Bet makes you pay 20 % more per spin, and it adds extra scatters to the reel strips, effectively doubling your bonus round chances.

The 200 Spins Juicy Fruits Experience

While not a whole lot happened in the base game, boy do we have a bonus round lined up for you this time.

It triggers at 1:18 into the 5-minute highlights video, and after a couple of spins the wild was already at size 3x3. It soon grew into a 4x4 beast, moving around to trigger one massive payout after another. See how it all played out for yourself by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

It cannot be denied that Pragmatic has basically lifted the growing roaming wild bonus round from Push Gaming’s Fat Rabbit, and wrapped it all in a less innovative theme. Granted, the fruity theme is more elaborately done than in many similar games, the reels being set inside a cocktail and all. However, the base Juicy Fruits slot game is as dry as bone, except for the very occasional keep-you-afloat winnings a larger version of the wild can provide.

The key to closing in on the 5,000x potential is therefore found in the bonus round. In our experience, you need to crank that wild up to 3x3 in size as soon as possible to stand a chance. 6 free spins can be over in a blink when nothing goes your way, but if you get to 3x3 or higher, pretty much every spin you have left will provide solid payouts. When that massive 4x4 beast roams around what little space is left, you know you’ve hit a home run.

Pros

• Random base game wilds up to 5x5 in size
• Bonus round w/ growing roaming wild
• Win up to 5,000x your stake

Cons

• Core concept ripped off from Fat Rabbit
• Base game is mostly a desert walk

If you like Juicy Fruits slot, you should also try:

Fat Rabbit - is Push Gaming’s original game that Pragmatic clearly has borrowed from.

You’ll see a very angry farmer plough the grid, leaving respins with sticky carrot wilds in his wake. The growing white rabbit wild gobbles up carrot wilds in the bonus round. It can potentially fill the whole screen, which lands you the top payout of 2,000x your stake.

Wild Walker - might come with a very different theme than the game at hand, but the bonus round is somewhat in the same alley. You can look forward to expanded zombie walking wilds in the base game, and you collect scatters to unlock extra walking wilds in the bonus round. The max win is 4,900x your stake.

Opal Fruits - is a very unique fruit slot from Big Time Gaming, and the Triple Reaction mechanic provides cascades both left, right and downwards. The bonus round comes with a progressive unlimited multiplier for payouts up to a whopping 36,000x your stake.
