500 Juicy Fruits - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

This game may take a nostalgic look back at the days of traditional fruity slots but there is nothing dated about the 500 paylines. Gone is the single reel of a one-armed bandit in a bricks and mortar casino; instead, the reels can change from three to five rows.

500 Juicy Fruits theme and storyline

Belatra Games bills this game as a modern fruit cocktail and it is a contemporary take on a traditional one-armed bandit. We may have moved on from the days of clunking mechanical games, but the slot player’s love affair with fruit on the reels continues.

The design of the game is as colourful as the fruit on the reels, while the soundtrack is an upbeat jazzy tune. The action opens with a very bright welcome screen filled with the likes of melons, grapes, cherries, oranges and plums. If you like a fruity theme, you may also enjoy the Juicy fruits slot. 

500 Juicy Fruits RTP and variance

This is a medium variance slot with a theoretical RTP of 95.71 per cent, although this can increase if the bonus is triggered.

How to play 500 Juicy Fruits

There is nothing tricky about playing this slot, but here are a few tips that will help you to start feeling fruity as soon as possible:

1. There are various boxes displayed immediately below the reels offering you choices of how many reels you want to be active during your spins. Click on the box of your choice and the reels will change according. The choices are 10 lines, 20 lines, 40 lines, 100 lines, 250 lines, and 500 lines.
2. You can also change the number of paylines you want to spin with by clicking the sound icon next to the spin tab. This is also where you go to set your bet level. You can stake between one and ten on each line, meaning a maximum possible bet of 5,000 with 500 paylines in play.
3. Your total bet, along with your playing credit, is displayed at the bottom of your screen.
4. Click the autospin button next to the spin tab to set the game to play automatically. You will get to choose how many games you want to play and when you want the auto mode to switch off and hand you back control. You can choose to let the slot spin for 10, 20, 50, 75, 100, or an infinite number of spins and stop when you win or lose a certain amount. You can also set autoplay to stop when you trigger the bonus or after any win.
5. The autospin menu is where you will find the box to click if you want to spin the reels in turbo mode.
6. You can also choose turbo mode in the main menu, which is accessed using the three-line menu button. This is also where you can change the sound settings and view the paytable.

500 Juicy Fruits bonus features

The most noticeable bonus feature of this game is the fact that the reels can increase in size from 5x3 to 5x4 and 5x5, increasing the number of possible paylines to a massive 500.

This is not the only attractive bonus. This slot also boasts:

Risk game

You can increase your wins by gambling your prizes in a standard risk game. Get a higher card than the dealer or choose the right suit or colour of the next card from the deck. The right guesses can double or even quadruple your main game prizes, although you will lose your whole win if you make the wrong choice.

Jackpot wheel of fortune

Belatra Games slot games are renowned for their jackpot wheels of fortune, with 500 Juicy Fruits offering the same prize-winning opportunities in the bonus round. Every time you place a bet, you will add what are known as JP points to a savings box. You will see an indicator above the reels that will tell you how many points you have amassed. Once your savings box is full, you will trigger a two-stage jackpot game. 

First off, you will get to spin the wheel of fortune, which offers a variety of prizes. The most valuable section of the wheel is the arrow symbol, which will take you to the next stage of the game. This involves another wheel, this time offering you the chance to win the slot’s main jackpot. This jackpot is accumulated using 50 per cent of bets and is said to increase the theoretical RTP of the game by 0.50 per cent.

500 Juicy Fruits review: our verdict

This is a classic-feeling game with a few interesting twists thanks to the bonus wheel and the opportunity to boost the number of paylines and extend the playing grid. You will have to decide whether it is worth the investment of betting the maximum amount on all 500 lines, given the sort of prizes offered in return. Having said that, the RTP is close to the industry average and it is possible for some decent cumulative wins to arrive - at least in theory.
