Fruit Cocktail

Fruit Cocktail (Igrosoft) Review

If you haven’t played the good old hits from Igrosoft yet, Fruit Cocktail could be a great starting point for exploring the provider’s library. Here, we’re presented with an interesting mathematical model featuring low-to-medium volatility and a still-respectable RTP of 95%. All the action takes place on a 5x3 grid, and there are 9 two-way paylines.

This slot dates back to the 2000s, when the balance displayed credits rather than real money. Each credit is worth 0.01 euros. Remember that to calculate your bet size or potential winnings. Igrosoft offers a decent range here, so you can bet anywhere from 1 to 810 credits at a time. With a lucky streak, you can actually win up to 125,000 credits, which is a pretty decent amount even by today’s standards.

As for the rules, everything is simple here since you still land identical symbols. Players receive prizes for 3 or more matching symbols along any payline. And since the lines work both ways, winning combinations can start from the far left or the far right reel.

Fruit Cocktail Reels Screen

The symbol set here is classic: cherries and apricots pay the least. And they appear on the reels more often than the others. Next in value are lemons, apples, pears, and watermelons. The strawberry can trigger the bonus game. As for the Fruit Cocktail logo, it acts as a wild. It substitutes for other symbols, making it much easier to form winning combinations.

Fruit Cocktail Features

The base spins here also promise something interesting, as you can form winning combinations in both directions. But Igrosoft has skillfully added various extras to make its titles even more appealing. So, Fruit Cocktail really does have a few tricks up its sleeveб even despite its venerable age.

Wilds

The low-to-medium volatility is a pretty nice feature of the title, especially for those with low risk tolerance. But you’ll often find yourself short on the watermelons, pears, apples, lemons, apricots, and cherries on the reels to form combos. This is where the Wild comes to the rescue, as it is capable of substituting for regular symbols. It is precisely this symbol that helps form more winning combinations in the base game and significantly increases your chances of a payout.

Gamble

Any win in the base game gives you an extra chance to at least double your winnings. So simply click the corresponding button to do this. This means you can either take your winnings and keep spinning the reels, or guess the values of the face-down cards in a new window. To win and get a 2x multiplier, you simply need to flip a card that is higher in value than the dealer’s. You can stop at any time or keep guessing cards to increase the multiplier.

Fever Bonus Game

Here, the strawberry is the focus of attention, as it is the symbol that grants you access to this mini-game. You need to land at least three of these symbols to enter a new window where only the three central reels spin. Your goal here is to match the symbols with the outer lamp indicators to form a “symbol pair”. Here, the provider has introduced fixed (and increased compared to the base game) multipliers for each symbol. For example, the Fruit Cocktail, as the most valuable option, can yield a x100 multiplier. While the base game offers frankly meager prizes, Fever is your key to the biggest wins.

Theme & Graphics

The title is designed to put you in a summery mood. So get ready for a whole lot of ripe fruit. It’s a fairly old title, but it still looks pretty good. The developer opted for a cartoonish style for the fruits and added simple animations that are unlikely to appeal to modern players accustomed to flashy transitions. But you should remember the title’s considerable age to avoid expecting too much from it. The game is already available in an HTML5-based format, and you can try it out on your phone.

Fruit Cocktail Free Play

This is a time-tested game, so there’s nothing unusual here for experienced gamblers. But if you haven’t played older titles like this before, it’s best to try the Fruit Cocktail free play version first. Many players start with the risk-free mode to test the bonus features and understand the payout mechanics without any risk at all. Here, we have a both-way mechanic, which is rarely found in new releases. So start with the Fruit Cocktail demo, and it will help you figure out how credits and bonus features work, even though there aren’t too many of them here.

Pros & Cons of the ruit Cocktail Slot

Our Verdict

We were happy to test this game, and it’s interesting that this 2009 classic from Igrosoft still delivers that same warm, nostalgic vibe of old-school fruit titles. Don’t worry about complicated mechanics or features, as everything here is straightforward. Perhaps only the Fever feature might confuse you a little. But even here, everything is automated, so just lean back in your chair and enjoy the show.

The low-to-medium volatility and 95% RTP really work here, so you’ll see quite a few combos in the base game. These prizes are often meager, which is where Gamble comes to the rescue. We tested it too, and managed to double our winnings a couple of times, while losing a couple of times, but that’s exactly the adrenaline rush many players seek in classic slots.

As for strategy, it’s best to play at low or medium stakes to trigger the Fever Bonus. The session won’t be too boring thanks to Wilds, bothway lines, and guessing card values. And the multipliers in the bonus game will pleasantly surprise you. Overall, if you appreciate a time-tested classic that’s still capable of delivering thrilling excitement and big wins, Fruit Cocktail is definitely worth your attention.
