Exotic Fruits - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Exotic Fruits is an excellent addition to the world of classic style slots with suitably modern graphics and a rewarding bothways structure. It’s set in the heart of the jungle with (appropriately) exotic fruits making up the reel symbols.

To win in Exotic Fruits, all you need to do is land 3+ matching symbols along one of the 5 paylines available. Unusually for an online slot, these matching symbols can win as long as they show up in adjacent reels starting on either the leftmost OR the rightmost reel.

The gameplay is incredibly simple in this slot, with no free spins to speak of, but it does include a fun double-or-nothing gamble feature that we’ll look at in more detail later in this Exotic Fruits online slot review.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Set deep in the jungle, Exotic Fruits takes its name from the array of delicious looking fruits that adorn the reels. Here, you’ll see some familiar offerings such as kiwi fruit, figs, and mangos along with dragon fruit, durian, and lychee. The game doesn’t do much in the way of soundtrack, but a fun arcade-style tune does play as the reels spin and you’ll also be treated to little trills and the sound of coins jangling when landing a winning combination.

Exotic Fruits RTP & Volatility

Exotic Fruits offers an RTP of 94.46%. The developers haven’t announced the variance for this slot, so it’s a good idea to enjoy some 5 Men Gaming free play slots here at Slots Temple to get a feel for the potential returns before committing any of your own money.

How to Play Exotic Fruits

Whenever we discover a new online slot, we always like to spend time getting to know the game. This includes checking things like the game rules, paytable, paylines, and the general control setup for the slot.

In Exotic Fruits, all of the controls are found beneath the reels as follows:

1. To start with, look for the ‘I’ icon beneath the reels. Clicking here will pull up the game information including the paytable and rules.

2. Next, place your wager by selecting your ‘Bet / Line’ amount and adjusting your ‘Credits’ value.

3. Once you’re happy with your bet, click on the green ‘Start’ button in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.

4. If you prefer automatic spins, you can turn ‘AutoPlay’ on/off by clicking the button above the ‘Start’ option.

5. Whenever you land a winning combination, the ‘Gamble’ option will illuminate. Click here to take part in the double-or-nothing gamble feature or hit ‘Collect’ to take your winnings and spin again.

6. You can always keep an eye on your current balance by looking at the ‘Credit’ section to the far left of the control panel.

Bet Sizes & Paytable

There are two stages to placing your wager in Exotic Fruits. To start with, select how much you would like “1 Credit” to equal from 0.01 to 1. Next, select how many bets you wish to place per payline from 1 to 200. Across 5 paylines, this gives you a total betting range of 5 to 1,000 credits.

The best rewards in Exotic Fruits are found when you land a matching combination of 5 symbols along one of the 5 possible paylines. There are no Wild symbols in this slot, so the symbols must all match exactly. The top prizes for each symbol are as follows:

7: 1,000,000

Lychee: 100,000

Durian: 100,000

Dragon Fruit: 25,000

Kiwi Fruit: 25,000

Mango: 25,000

Fig: 25,000

Exotic Fruits Bonus Features

Exotic Fruits utilises a classic slot gameplay with no Scatter or free spins to trigger. The only bonus feature used in this game is the double-or-nothing gamble feature. This feature allows you to gamble any winnings throughout the game.

To play, simply click the ‘Gamble’ button following any win and correctly guess whether a spinning card will be revealed as red or black. Guess correctly to double your winnings…. But guess incorrectly and you’ll lose the lot! You can continue to gamble your winnings or hit ‘Collect’ at any point to stop the gamble feature and take home your rewards.

Conclusion

Overall, we thought Exotic Fruits was a very well designed classic slot with beautiful graphics and simple yet effective sound effects. We liked that the game doesn’t include too many special features and instead focuses on classic, clean gameplay, although we appreciate this won’t appeal to all players. We do wish the returns were a little higher, as we usually prefer an online slot to offer a minimum RTP of 95%, so it’s a bit of a shame to see this slot fall below the threshold. Surprisingly, we didn’t really miss having a Wild in this slot as wins are still frequent thanks to the bothways setup allowing us to win with combinations running left to right and right to left.

The game purports to offer a top prize of 1,000,000 if you land 5-of-a-kind of the lucky number 7 symbol (the only non-fruit symbol), but we have to concede that it’s incredibly unlikely to manage this… We saw the 7 symbol probably 10 times in total across over 100 spins! And mostly it appeared in one position only.

If you also enjoyed Exotic Fruits, you might want to give Gamomat’s Fruit Mania slot a spin! This is another classic online slot packed full of traditional symbols and an above average RTP of 96.12%.
