Fruity Carnival Demo Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Game Theme and Storyline

If you’re looking for a slot game that embodies the words summery, fun and festive, then Fruity Carnival is likely the ideal option for you. CQ9 always ensure that no detail goes overlooked, and their attention to detail here is second to none.

The celebratory atmosphere is visible from the very beginning of the game, with the introductory screen truly setting the scene for what lies ahead. Brightly coloured block writing introduces the theme of the game, which is reinforced by sun rays, leaves and stars.

The reels are surrounded by trees, the trunks of which have verdant vines snaking up them, which draws the eye up to the top of the screen. The forest’s canopy has various fruits in myriad colours hanging from it. With a colour palette of rich browns, lush greens, pretty purples and vibrant yellows and oranges, this game is truly a feast for all the senses.

Graphics & Soundtrack

CQ9 Gaming Slots are famed for their sharp graphics and slick animations, so it will probably come as no surprise to learn that Fruity Carnival is no exception. Gameplay is consistently seamless, with symbols falling from the top of the screen smoothly and efficiently.

The accompanying soundtrack is easy to listen to and upbeat, which keeps the gameplay exciting and perfectly reflects the amiable and enjoyable ambiance. The background tune isn’t too overbearing, which leads to a pleasant gaming environment, but players can always choose to mute the music if that is the preferable option.

Importantly, the background music and the sounds that play when a special symbol appears or winning combination is matched complement each other perfectly. Players will hear a ‘ping’ noise and an animated star will appear when a special symbol appears on the in-play reels. When a winning match is made, players will hear a popping noise and see an animated circle appear. Nothing sounds at all jarring or too loud, which results in a pleasant playing environment.

How to Play

One of the primary joys of this fun online slot game is its simplicity, but there are plenty of additional flourishes that keep things exciting.

Fruity Carnival has three rounds, which take place in 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6 square areas respectively. Symbols are randomly distributed during each round, and players should look out for the special symbols that will allow them to progress to the next round.

In round one, players must match at least four identical symbols in one of the game’s winning formations. In round two, players must match at least five identical symbols, and in round three, six matching symbols are required to trigger a win.

The illustrated fruity symbols in round one include half a pear, a peeled banana, half an orange, a slice of watermelon and half an apple. During this round, players can expect payouts of between 2 and 80,000.

The fruity symbols in round two include a whole banana, watermelon, red apple, lemon and pear. Here, if they’re lucky players can expect payouts of between 2 and 100,000 coins.

In round three, players can expect to see a combination of the symbols from round one and round two. Again, players can look forward to potential wins of between 2 and 100,000 coins. During each round, the payouts are calculated by multiplying the in-play bet level by the odds associated with each symbol.

The special symbol in round one is a red and white candy cane, and in rounds two and three the special symbols are a candy lollipop and a yellow star wand respectively. Players must collect 15 of each to unlock the next round, and once players have completed all three rounds, they will be taken back to round one and are free to play again. Special symbols are cleared from the reels first, and once these have been collected, further winning matches will be made.

Players will find it easy to adjust the amount of each bet using the intuitive + and - buttons on either side of the ‘bet level’ button. Alongside this feature, players will see their ‘credit’ level, ‘total bet’ amount and a running total of their winnings. Just above these buttons, players will also be presented with the chance to hit either the ‘Auto 1’ or ‘Auto 2’ buttons.

In Auto 1 mode, the game will progress automatically at the same pace as action moves when in regular gameplay mode. In Auto 2 mode, the game will progress slightly faster for players who are looking to secure quick wins. When either of these modes is activated, bets will continue automatically until the player hits the cancel button.

Bonus Features

If players see an ice cream bowl appear anywhere across their in-play reels, they will be rewarded with 10 free spins and all winnings will be multiplied by a factor of between one and five.

When free spin games are played, all winning combinations will be multiplied. All free game bets will be the same as the in-play bet that was live when the free spins ice cream bowl symbol was triggered.
