Fruit icons have been part of slot gaming since its very beginnings: so much so, that players in Great Britain nicknamed the analog one-armed bandits “fruit machines.” Booming Games got the simple idea to update the kinds of fruits used for these symbols, instead of continuing to use the usual cherries, watermelons, lemons, and the like. The resulting title is called Exotic Fruit.
Theme
This slot is set along a beautiful landscape, with butterflies fluttering about in a misty forest. Gaming symbols include pomegranate slices, starfruit, pineapples (the top-paying symbol), coconuts, rambutan, dragon fruits (which act as scatter), and a delicious-looking wild symbol, while three doe-eyed girls looking on. Background music is somewhat more sophisticated than usual, with interesting metric and instrumental colors punctuating gameplay.
Betting Options, Functions, and Features
Although the fruit may be new, the concept of this slot will be familiar to nearly all slot players. As is usually the case, the measure of this game will be found not in its theme, but in its details. The design team at Booming Games offers 15 adjustable paylines in this slot, all of which pay both ways, to go along with a per-payline bet variable from 0.01–5.00. This yields a very broad overall per-spin betting range of 0.15–75.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is available for up to 100 spins at a time, with other gaming icons launching sound options and detailed paytable and payline information. Information regarding the overall theoretical return to player ratio is unfortunately not included.
One innovative bonus feature is built into base play. Wild symbols that appear on the middle reel can carry along a mystery multiplier. These add either a fivefold or a tenfold win multiplier to any wins in which they are involved.
The central bonus feature of Exotic Fruit is its free spin feature. The appearance of three or more of the dragon fruit scatter symbol awards ten free spins, during which time these scatter symbols will remain on the reels, allowing for the possibility of the feature to be re-triggered. No additional special elements are available in this bonus feature, however.
Our Take
It is well-known in the online gaming industry that Booming Games releases reliably good products, and Exotic Fruit is no exception. With that said, replacing old fruit icons with new fruit icons is the full extent of their innovation here: aside from a new visual approach, it’s the same old fruit-themed slot players have seen dozens of times before. Those in the market for a more thought-provoking slot will likely want to look elsewhere.
