Big Froot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Are you curious about the early days of video gaming, or nostalgic for those 1980's classics like Pacman? Big Froot is designed to pay tribute to the origins of gaming, a task it manages magnificently, with charming pixelated visuals and a simplistic theme.

Across 5 reels and 25 paylines this slot presents the cleverly named lead character of Big Froot, along with all those familiar fruits from the original one-armed bandits. Saucify demo slots always put an original spin on their slot storylines, providing us players lots of spinning fun.

Graphics & Soundtrack 

You’d be forgiven for mistaking the opening scene of Big Froot for some kind of art project, as the pixelated design looks pretty similar to the cross stitch and tapestry projects some people love to create. 

What’s not in doubt is the outdoors scene that’s the setting for this slot, complete with lush green grass, mountains, trees, and fluffy white clouds. It may look very tranquil but don’t be fooled - there’s a reason for that ‘keep out’ sign right next to the reels. 

Behind the shiny bright images is the entrance to the monster’s cave - the lair of the legendary Big Froot. Your task is to feed him plenty of tasty fruit treats so he’ll stay as gentle and sweet as a loving puppy, and the more success you have on the reels - the bigger your coin stack will become.

The symbols which feature in this game resemble a dedicated dieter’s fruit bowl. Look out for half a juicy red watermelon, a bunch of grapes, two cherries, a lemon, an orange, and a plum, along with the standard playing card letters J, Q, K, & A.

Of course we can’t forget the special symbols that deliver a selection of nice bonuses and other goodies. As well as the namesake Big Froot, there’s a blender Wild - handy for a tasty fruit smoothie, and a smiley faced Scatter.

Sounding off

The background music is kind of bouncy but repetitive, while the spins generate a few beeps and whizzes.

How to Play Big Froot

1.    Begin by clicking on the symbol with 3 horizontal lines. This is the main menu, with three tabs.

2.    Tab 1 is labelled BET, and it’s here that you decide on the number of coins and lines to play.

3.    Tab 2 is all about AUTOPLAY options; you can choose any number of spins between 1 - 50.

4.    OPTIONS is the final tab. Here you can toggle sounds on and off, and choose the screen size you prefer.

5.    You can check out the paytable via the i button.

6.    Now you have all the knowledge you need to sit back, spin and enjoy.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

Before they spin players must choose how many lines to play, from 1 - 25, how many coins to stake, 1 - 5, and their preferred coin size, 0.01 - 0.25. This means:

-     The lowest bet size possible is 0.01 credits, with 1 coin of 0.01 value on 1 line.

-    1 coin of 0.01 value across all 25 lines would make the total wager 1.25 credits

-    Choosing the maximum number of lines, coin numbers and value makes a bet size of 31.25 credits

During base games the main symbols pay out for 3, 4, and 5 matches, although what they offers varies quite a bit. For the top win with five on the reels:

-    The watermelon leads with a 200 coin prize.

-    The orange offers 150, and the plum 100.

-    The grapes 80, cherries 60, and lemon 50 are the lowest paying fruits.

-    Just slightly behind are the playing card suit symbols, offering between 20 - 40 coins.

Big Froot Bonus Features 

There are plenty of generous options when it comes to bonuses and extras in this slot. These are:

Big Froot Wild

The slot’s namesake acts as a substitute for all other symbols, and as a bonus he doubles all wins he helps create! Land 5 for a 5,000 coin bonus, 4 for 1,500, 3 for 200, and 2 for 10 extra.

Smiley Face Scatters

This happy little face is fortune smiling on you as the wins it helps create are multiplied by the total of coins wagered. Land 5 for a x150 multiplier, x50 for 4 matches, and x7 for three.

Free Spins Scatter

Every decent slot needs a free spins round, and this one doesn’t disappoint. To trigger this feature you need to land a few of the electric food blender icons, which pay out in coins and extra turns. Here’s what you could win:

5x blender = 50x coins + 15 free spins
4x blender = 25x coins + 12 free spins
3x blender = 3x coins + 8 free spins

These can be reactivated while the free spins play out.

Our Verdict 

If ever an online slot was designed to appeal to all age ranges, Big Froot is it. It’s simple in style, with surprisingly regular and possibly generous rewards for a higher variance slot, providing you can stay the distance.

If you find this style of slot appealing you may like to try the Street Fighter II slot. It’s overflowing with extra features, like characters with individual Wild combo offers, gambles, and free spins, and it adopts the same retro look as Big Froot.
