Fruit Loot Reboot Slots
Purists would say you should never attempt a reboot because the follow up is never as good as the original. When it comes to movies, they’re probably right, but in the world of slots, newer tends to be better, not least because the more recent games such as Fruit Loot Reboot use HTML5 instead of Flash which makes them far more suited to mobile play. This 5-reel slot is a clean and lightweight game, one which feels breezy rather than clunky. That’ll partly be due to the theme and setting, but it’ll also be due to the way it’s been built.
Although there’s nothing in this slot’s name to indicate as much, Fruit Loot Reboot is set on a beach. The game opens to the sound of seagulls crying and sound of the waves gently crashing against the shore. In the background, white clouds scurry by, while in the foreground there’s a wooden beach hut that houses the 5x3 game board. This looks like Hawaii, but wherever it is, it’s a tropical paradise.
Life’s a Beach
One of the coolest things about this slot is that it contains not one but two games, either of which you can access at any time. There’s an A and B button in the top left of the screen. Click on it to toggle between the two, jumping from the regular game to a secondary one that shrinks the reels down to one and invokes a tribal drumbeat followed by a series of masked warriors emerging in the background. It’s an ingenious way of livening up the main game and one that attests to Concept Gaming’s creativity.
Shot For the Fruit
The fruit in the game’s title comes into play in the main game, where various classic fruit machine symbols appear on the board including fruits, melons and grapes. Each one is encased in a bamboo frame, just like the larger bamboo frame that surrounds the reels and is lashed with rope. A simple spin button in the centre below the reels with subtle plus and minus symbols either side of it allows you to focus on the action and nothing else. Fruit Loot Reboot is a 20 payline slot with a bet per spin that can be set between 0.2 and 25.
There are 10 free spins to be won via the bonus wheel and 10 mega spins as well as Fruit Loot or Mega Fruit Loot. With these latter two games, you’ll be offered a selection of prizes which you can accept or refuse in the hope of winning more. Eventually, if you’ve held out, you’ll be given the last available prize. As for free spins, these will be accompanied by a wild multiplier. The appearance of a single wild will grant you a 3x multiplier while a pair will give you a 9x multiplier.
What Else is Worth a Spin?
Fruit Loot Reboot is a low to medium variance slot with a high RTP of 97.24%. Other games which handle like this Concept Gaming effort include Treasure Cubes by EGaming. It’s got just 5 paylines but has the same variance and 16 free spins available. Gamesys’ X Factor is another contender, a 20 payline slot which dispenses at least 5 free spins. Two other games that aren’t too dissimilar from Fruit Loot Reboot are Crazy Jungle and Superheroes, the latter a World Match game with 20 paylines and 10 free spins.
A Load of Loot Fun
Fruit Loot Reboot is a highly original game and one which is awesome fun. The second game, despite having just 1 reel, is almost as entertaining as the 5-reel game. With each one there’s loads going on, from wilds to bonus symbols and from free spins to the bonus game in which there are all kinds of enticing trail bonuses to choose. The graphics are good, the soundtrack is great and the whole game has clearly had a lot of attention to detail put into it. Fruit Loot Reboot is the sort of slot you could play for ages without tiring of it, so go on: give this game a go and prepare to be impressed by everything you find.
