Fruity Bonanza Scatter Drops Review

With Fruity Bonanza Scatter Drops™, Inspired Gaming has apparently trademarked a win mechanic they lifted directly from Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Bonanza. The two games are similar in more ways than that however, as the Fruity Free Spins option is almost identical to Sweet Bonanza’s sole bonus round. You get the additional progressive multiplier option here though, which gives you more freedom of choice.

Both are volatile games, although the obvious source of inspiration comes with almost twice the announced potential. Still, being able to win up to 12,500x your stake is not bad, and Pragmatic is infamous for exaggerating when it comes to potential. Despite the glaring similarities, Fruity Bonanza Scatter Drops is well-worth checking out. Not least if you already enjoyed Sweet Bonanza, and you feel like switching to a more “healthy diet”.

Fruity Bonanza Scatter Drops Features

The Scatter Drops mechanic means that symbols can land anywhere to create a win, just as long as you land the minimum of 8 matching symbols. The Cascading Reels feature makes sure winning symbols are removed from the reels, and replaced by new symbols dropping from above.

This process repeats as long as you keep landing new winning combinations.

Before you start playing however, you should decide whether or not you want to activate the Fortune Bet feature. This increases your stake by 1.25x, but it also doubles your chances of triggering the bonus round. The scatter symbol is a yellow star, and you need at least 4 anywhere in sight to trigger the free spins feature.

You get 10 free spins (or “free drops” as it’s called in-game) when you land the minimum of 4 scatters. However, each extra scatter you land on top of the minimum awards more spins up to a maximum of 76 free spins. You get to choose between the Bonanza Free Drops and the Fruity Free Drops, but your choice does not affect the total number of free spins.

The Bonanza Free Spins feature comes with an unlimited progressive win multiplier, and it increases by +1 per cascading win.

The multiplier does not reset on non-winning spins. You get +2 extra spins per scatter you land, and landing 3 or 4 scatters gives you 5 or 10 extra spins, respectively.

The Fruity Free Spins feature plays out the same when it comes to extra spins, but you will now benefit from a multiplier symbol instead of a progressive multiplier. The multiplier symbol will not land on every spin however, and it comes with a random value between 2x and 100x. When it lands, the multiplier will be applied to your total win after a cascading sequence.

The 200 Spins Fruity Bonanza Scatter Drops Experience

We had some decent cascading wins in the base game, but nothing too special either. The real fun starts when we trigger the bonus round, which happens around 1:06 into the highlights video you can check out below. We went with the Bonanza Free Drops round, and managed to rack up an 18x multiplier in the end. How much we got away with you can see for yourself by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

Relax Gaming has made a pretty competent slot with Fruity Bonanza, although it borrows heavily from Pragmatic’s Sweet Bonanza. You feel a bit more free when symbols don’t need to land adjacent to give you a win, like going from briefs to boxers for the first time.

Of course, you are still largely dependent on the 2 bonus rounds to really do some damage here.

The Fruity option, with a random multiplier symbol up to 100x, is the most unpredictable choice. You might not land too many multiplier symbols however, but the chance is always there for a big one out of the blue. The progressive multiplier option is more traditional and predictable in that sense, and it’s probably your best shot if you’re aiming for the max win of 12,500x your stake.

Pros

• Scatter Drops™ mechanic means 8-12 matching symbols pay anywhere
• Fortune Bet doubles your chances of triggering the bonus round (at 1.25x your stake)
• Free spins with random multiplier symbol up to 100x or progressive win multiplier
• Max win potential of 12,500x (in total from a bonus round, not from a single spin)

Cons

• Very similar to Sweet Bonanza, but with an additional bonus round option

If you love Fruity Bonanza Scatter Drops you should also try:

Sweet Bonanza - has clearly been a source of inspiration for the game at hand. You win by landing 8+ matching symbols anywhere, and a tumble win mechanic can keep you going for longer cascading sequences. The bonus round comes with a “candy bomb” multiplier up to 100x, which can lead to payouts up to 21,000x your stake.

CandyBlasted - is a sweet tooth slot from High 5 Games, and it plays out on a massive 10x10 grid with a cluster pays engine. You will also benefit from cascading wins, multiplier rainbow candy symbols, as well as a bonus round where you start out with a matching cluster of up to 9 symbols before each spin plays out.

Candyways Bonanza Megaways - plays out on 3 reels with up to 512 win ways, which is kind of unusual for a Megaways engine game.

You will benefit from cascading wins, and the bonus round comes with multiplier scatters between 2x and 100x (sound familiar?). These can multiply with each other for payouts up to 20,000x your stake.
