Multi Fruity Slot
The classic games arcade beckons in Multi Fruity, a colourful new slot machine from Novomatic. This game features bright and cheerful fruit symbols, gold stars and lucky sevens on the reels, while jazzy piano music plays in the background.
This slot is part of the special collection of games that have 243 ways to win instead of the usual paylines, so players can be sure of hitting plenty of wins during their gaming session.
However this is about the only feature offered by Multi Fruity and without any wilds, scatters or bonus games, this simplistic slot is placing all its eggs in the 243 ways to win basket!
Starting the Fruity Fun
The fruit theme is clearly apparent on loading up the game with the reels filled with lemons, watermelons, grapes, oranges and plums, while the classic gold bells, lucky sevens and shiny stars all give a nod to the games arcade machines. The only item missing is the bar sign.
One interesting part of the symbols collection is that they all have water dripping down them, which made us quite thirsty while playing on a hot day! In the background there are fruit slices and colourful precious stones, along with more water droplets to add to the fruity and summery feel.
Before you start playing Multi Fruity, you need to select your stake. As this is a 243 ways to win machine, you have all these winning possibilities every spin without the need to think about paylines or line bets. Instead, all you need to choose is your ‘bet multiplier. This bet can be anything from €0.01 to €2.00 and gives an overall total bet per spin of €0.10 to €20.00. Although this is a decent range for low to mid rollers, players with higher bankrolls might find it a touch restrictive and feel they need more space to bet big.
Other options here include an autoplay button, which starts spinning the reels and will continue automatically until you press autoplay again. You can select from 10 automatic spins to unlimited automatic spins by changing your preference in the settings menu. Other options include a slider to alter the volume level, a denomination selector which only offers €0.01 and language selector which only offers English. The other available option is to select your choice of gamble option – card game, pinball or deactivate entirely.
Surprisingly Generous Payouts
Multi Fruity might look a tad simplistic and only have a low betting range, but the payouts on offer here are actually rather generous, especially if you play the maximum bet of €20 per spin. If you spin 5 of the red seven symbols while playing max bet you can enjoy a payout of €2,000. The second-best symbols to watch out for are the gold bell and the gold star, which both award €500 for 5 symbols while playing max bet.
Moving down the paytable, we come to the watermelon and grapes, which both pay up to €300 for 5 symbols at max bet, while the other fruits in the game – the plums, oranges, lemons and cherries – all pay up to €200 for 5 symbols.
There is no wild symbol in this game, so no substitutions to boost your winning combinations. However with 243 ways to win and relatively few symbols to play with, wilds are less important and your chances of hitting a win on any spin are higher than with many other slot machines.
Gambling on a Cute Pinball or Card Game
Whenever you hit a winning spin playing Multi Fruity you have the option to play a gamble game for the chance to increase your winnings – or forfeit them if you are unlucky. Assuming you have left the gamble game activated in the settings, you will be faced with this option after every winning spin.
The card game asks you to choose the next card colour red or black – for a simple double or quits gamble. The pinball game is a little more complex as you can win multipliers of 2x, 3x or 5x if your ball lands in a lucky slot. If your ball lands in the ‘lost’ slot though, you forfeit your cash from the triggering spin.
Simple but Effective
Multi Fruity is a simple slot game with a classic fruit theme which will attract players who enjoy the classic arcade games. Although the low betting range means some higher rolling players will be restricted here, with 243 ways to win, there are plenty of small payouts to be enjoyed. The jazzy piano music also offers a pleasant accompaniment to the gameplay.
This game has no wilds, scatters, free spins or bonus game and relies heavily on the 243 ways to win feature, along with the gamble games. If you can handle the lack of features, this slot offers plenty of smaller wins and an attractive, if unoriginal, theme.
