Fruit Cocktail

In a time where software providers try to amaze us with splendid graphics, amazing soundtracks, and themes inspired by the latest blockbuster movies, it is kind of hard to decide where to start and which game to pick.

Online slot games are many, and if you are an inexperienced rookie, you better stick with the simplest ones out there. 

Fruit Cocktail is one of the best beginners’ games, coming from the studios of Novomatic.

Theme

Well, as the title suggests, this online game is all about fruit, going back to the very beginnings on landbased slot games, where juicy little things used to spin on the reels, bringing a high sense of anticipation between the wins.

The tradition may run high in the game, but the interpretation of the theme is both modern and simplified at the same time.

There are six different fruit based symbols in the game, and they include watermelons, pears, apples, lemons, apricots, and cherries. We must point out that all the graphics are very rudimentary, so don’t expect a miraculous gameplay experience.

The reels look pretty basic and somewhat outdated, and they are placed against a blue background with a floating block of ice. There is a big strawberry sitting on a slice of orange with some human traits that communicates with you during your wins.

There is also the Fruit Cocktail symbol, while the aforementioned humanlike strawberry also doubles as the scatter.

Betting Options and Other Functions

There are 9 selectable paylines spread across the five reels, and you can also adjust the bets per line, ranging from 0.05 to 10.0.

Unfortunately, the game doesn’t come with a max bet button, but it can spare you from relentlessly clicking away on the Spin button by offering the auto play button.

Even though it looks simple, Fruit Cocktail provides some rather cool bonus features…

Features

With each new win, you will be greeted by an opportunity to gamble. If you decide to do so, a new window will pop up, and you will be prompted to choose one of four cards to beat the dealer. Each time you get to do so, your win will be doubled.

In case the dealer wins, you will be sent back to spin the reels.

Landing three or more scatter strawberries anywhere on the screen will trigger another bonus game, with one, two, or three lives, depending on how many of them you’ve scored on the reels.

The game involves bonus spins in which the symbols on the reels need to match the symbols highlighted on a square surrounding the reels. When the square containing the “Exit” symbol gets highlighted you lose a life.

Our Take on Fruit Cocktail

Perfect for beginners or anyone who got tired of modern slot games, jam packed with bombastic graphics. It provides some rather nice bonus features and sports a relatively high RTP of 94.39%.
