Funky Fruits Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Playtech is a name that will be very familiar to regular online gamers. They have been leaders in their field for many years, and Playtech free slots are played all over the world. As you would expect from a company with over 500 games under its belt, they have tried their hand at every combination of features and themes, from officially licensed movie tie-ins like Playtech's Green Lantern slot to simpler fruit-based games like this one. Playtech demo slots are always worth investigating.

Funky Fruits has a 5-reel, 5-column grid with 5 pay lines. The minimum line bet is 2.00 and the maximum is 10.00. There are 6 symbols: Watermelon, Plum, Pineapple, Orange, Lemon and Cherries.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

You’d have to be incurably grumpy not to be amused - even if only for a moment - by the visuals and sound of Funky Fruits. It takes us to a beach looking out to a smooth blue sea, a surfboard to one side and a highball glass to the other. The reels are set on an upturned wooden pallet, which struck us as rather inspired. The fruits are anthropomorphic characters, which might put older players in mind of the fridge in the TV comedy The Young Ones. As the reels spin, the fruits plunge and squeal. As they wait between spins, they make exclamations, cries, giggles and the plum even blows a kiss. It's all very silly but good, bright, colourful fun.

Funky Fruits RTP and variance

According to Playtech, Funky Fruits has an RTP of 92.98 per cent rising to 93.98. The variance is not known.

How to play Funky Fruits

1. Funky Fruits does not have a conventional mixture of paylines; it simply has five rows on which you may match five of a kind.
2. Click - or + to select the total bet.
3. Press SPIN to spin the reels with the current bet. Alternatively, press the space bar to spin.
4. For auto play mode, press the - and + symbols to either side of the Autoplay counter to select the number of spins to auto-play from 1 to 100.

10. At the beginning of each game round, all the symbols in the game field are reset.
11. Symbols that form a winning combination explode, enabling more symbols to drop down and form new combinations.

Funky Fruits review: our verdict

This is a very simple game. Click play and cross your fingers. The only variation is the jackpot feature, but as far as the base game goes, once you tire of the graphics, you may lose interest. We did like the avalanche feature, which means that once you land a win, the symbols matched will explode and others fall to replace them until no more matches occur. It's worth a look, if not a lingering one.
