Crazy Fruits Slot Machine
Another classic slot machine from Kajot with an unexpected twist, Crazy Fruits is a 5-reel, 5-payline game featuring multiplier wilds, free spins and two-way paylines to enhance your odds.
Sticking to the classic Kajot formula, the game does not incorporate overly elaborate visuals or sounds, but there is certainly a lot more going on in Crazy Fruits than you’ll find in the company’s other fruit-based titles, making it a more engaging experience than simpler slots like Classic Seven.
Nevertheless, with the rules easily condensed onto a single screen, you’ll still know exactly what you’re getting with Crazy Fruits – that is to say, a game that is easy to get to grips with, speedy to play and does away with complicated bonus rounds in favour of offering consistent regular payouts.
A Fruity Little Number
In the base game, Crazy Fruits is about as straightforward as it gets for a five-reel, five-payline slot. Winning lines are clearly displayed at both sides of the screen and count from both left-to-right and right-to-left, while players are able to wager anywhere from 10 to 1,000 coins on each spin.
Payouts range from 2x your stake per line for matching three cherries or lemons all the way up to a massive 4,000x your stake per line for hitting five lucky sevens on a winning payline. Additionally, multiplier wilds help boost your winnings by not only substituting for regular symbols to complete paylines, but also boosting their value by 2x when one wild is used and 4x when two are present.
A bonus game is also triggered whenever the joker symbol lands on the central space of the third reel, with five free spins awarded and the entire reel becoming wild. Although it comes around rarely, this typically results in some impressive combo wins and – of course – some juicy prizes too.
Oranges and Lemons
Visually-speaking, Crazy Fruit has a classic feel to it and uses simple shades of blue for both its background and reels. The reels themselves are filled with classic slot machine icons including cherry, lemon, plum, orange, grape and watermelon fruit symbols, with stars and sevens representing the higher value icons and masked jesters filling in for the multi and joker bonuses.
Despite its basic appearance, the game does unexpectedly feature a number of animations – and the vast majority of them are deeply disconcerting. When a payline is triggered, the fruits not only flash and light up, but smiling faces will appear on them too. Whether this has done to represent the “crazy” part of Crazy Fruits we’re not entirely sure, but take it from us – there’s something deeply unsettling about seeing a handful of cherries suddenly grow razor-sharp teeth and grin at you!
In terms of audio, there’s no music to speak of in Crazy Fruits, but a range of sound effects do accompany wins, with the jesters on the multi and joker icons cackling whenever they’re used to complete a win and a number of other unique noises representing each successfully-matched icon.
Jokers Wild
The main bonus feature in Crazy Fruit is a free-spin game that is activated whenever the rare joker symbol appears in the middle of the central reel. Once this occurs, the joker will expand to fill all three spaces on the reel and a free spins game will begin, with players getting five bonus turns.
During these free spins, the jokers on the middle reel all act as wilds, meaning that virtually any two matching symbols on the first and second or fourth and fifth reels will automatically turn into completed paylines. This naturally creates some big combo wins as more often than not, multiple paylines are activated on each spin and your coin bonus for the round sky-rockets as a result.
As with all Kajot titles, players will also have the opportunity to gamble any winnings they make in a red or black pick-style game. If they choose correctly, they’ll double their winnings and can continue playing, but if they make the wrong choice, their winnings will reset to zero and the game is over.
A Few Grapes Short Of A Bunch
Crazy Fruits is an interesting addition to the Kajot catalogue and features a bonus game that can be incredibly lucrative. Though the premise of the game is simple enough, the presence of multi wilds and two-way paylines gives players more ways to win and – if they can look past the slightly creepy animated fruits – they’ll certainly have plenty of opportunities to build a healthy bankroll on the slot.
