Fruit Planet Slots
Welcome to a world of weird fruits. Fruit Planet is a slot machine by Proprietary Games which takes punters on a strange spinning adventure to a distant land of cute, nutritional and slightly disconcerting fruit creatures. The video slot theme may be a bit out there, but the gameplay is sure to reward your confusion since the high variance slot comes with 243 ways to combine the symbols, wins worth up to 500,000 coins and a round of free spins with increasing bonus multipliers.
What on Earth...
We have to admit, the world is full of some pretty weird things. Have you ever seen those luminous fish that live in the deepest abysses of the ocean? What about duck-billed platypuses? Pretty strange, right? And don't even get us started on Ant and Dec. If those oddities can be found on our planet, then just imagine the strange denizens of far away planets across the universe. Fruit Planet trumps every weird specimen on planet Earth by taking punters across the galaxy to a world in which deliciously nutritious fruits and adorably cute animals have somehow found a way to cross-breed into overwhelmingly peculiar hybrids.
It has to be said that these little zoomorphised gang of fruit-and-veg-cum-animal characters – which includes a orange dog, an apple bear and a marrow pig – are designed in a slightly disturbing manner. The eyes are black and lifeless and they are wearing tiny little frowns, almost as if they're not best pleased to have the tasty and appetising characteristics that might put them on the menu for any passers by!
The bizarre plot is further thickened by the presence of the game's scatter symbol, depicted by some sort of cross-looking prickly pear with a moustache that can only be described as Stalin-esque. Is this the despotic overseer of a tyrannous cross-breeding regime?
Spin It to Win It
Truth be told, we have absolutely no idea what on earth is happening in this slot machine by Proprietary Games, as far as the theme goes at least. We can talk with more certainty about the gameplay, however. That is to say that the game has 243 ways to win, giving punters the chance to line up wins by matching up identical icons on adjacent reels from the left to the right. The majority of wins come in the form of coin bet multipliers, ranging from as little as 5x when three 10, J, Q or K icons match and going up to as much as 800x for five matching pig/marrows (or whatever it's supposed to be).
The chosen coin bet will be automatically multiplied by 25x to account for the 243 ways to win, giving spinners the chance to play with a good range of wagers from as little as 25 coins to 500 coins. The biggest wins of all in the slot machine are actually awarded by the moustachioed prickly pear icon since this scatter will pay a total bet multiplier worth 1,000x whenever five appear on the reels. That makes for some maximum payouts worth 500,000 coins.
Multiplier Madness
Not only will the scatter symbol award to game's largest prizes, but it also has the power to trigger a round of free spins with increasing multipliers. Three scatters will activate 10 free games, four will trigger 15 and five will award a total of 20, with each consecutive spin in the feature increasing the win multiplier by one. This win multiplier could potentially reach up to x50 since the free spin feature can be re-triggered multiple times.
Punters should also keep an eye out for the slot machine's wild symbol, presented as a basket of those weird fruit creatures. This icon appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and it can replace every other symbol except for the scatter icon.
Odd Fruits
In many ways, this slot machine is quite unique with its odd fruity animals. Then again, there are some 5-reel video slots online which have used anthropomorphic fruit characters to bring the icons alive with human characteristics. Such games include Freaky Fruit by 888 Games, Funky Fruits by Playtech and Fruity Friends by NeoGames.
Weird and Wonderful
Fruit Planet may be among the weirder slot machines on the market, but the high variance game is well worth a punt if you are after plentiful free spins with big multipliers. The fact that the free spins multipliers are guaranteed to increase with every spin makes for some very exciting bonus gameplay that could see you betting balance grow significantly.
