Viva Fruit Vegas - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Las Vegas is the spiritual home of everyone who enjoys a flutter on the slots. This is something that game developers are very well aware of, so they make sure they turn out plenty of Vegas-themed games. We have already experienced fun games based there, including Weekend in Vegas, Vegas AfterParty, and Vegas Nights. Now it is Skywind’s opportunity to show us what it can do.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Rather than basing the Viva Fruit Vegas slot in Las Vegas, Skywind decided to bring Las Vegas to the classic fruit theme. Las Vegas is renowned for its card games and slots, so the developer has chosen to blend the two themes. You will find a selection of poker cards that have been combined with classic fruit symbols taken from the very earliest days of land-based slots machines.

The design is cool, sleek and elegant, with an abundance of blue and purple tones to convey the air of luxury. Activate the Smart Money bonus features with a qualifying stake and neon lights will spring into life on the reels as the wild sevens take on new importance in the game. At the same time, the Smart Money bonus lights up above the reels, letting you know that the game has entered a new phase.

Slots developers always seem to associate luxury and big wins with jazz music. Skywind has gone along with this idea, so you will find cool, jazzy sounds playing along as you spin the reels. You will hear some funky piano, some occasional strings, and even a synthesiser in there somewhere.

Viva Fruit Vegas RTP & volatility

If you are looking for a game that promises some very satisfying returns, look no further than Viva Fruit Vegas! This game has a generous RTP of 96.68 per cent, which is above average but still very much theoretical. This is a game where it really pays to keep a tight rein on your bankroll. Medium-volatility games like this one don’t pay out the big cash prizes too often, so it is well worth taking the time to play it for around 500 spins in demo mode to see whether your bankroll is elastic enough to last the distance.

How to play Viva Fruit Vegas

1. Decide the coin value you want to wager on each payline of the game. You will need to place a bet that is above the minimum sum to activate the Smart Money feature and be able to access the bonus sum. Bet even higher and you will activate the Jackpot bonus, giving you extra winning potential.

2. The green spin button is located just to the right-hand side of the reels. This will deliver a single spin; alternatively, for multiple spins at the same bet, there is an autoplay option.

3. A turbo button, to the left of spin, gives faster gameplay if you only have a limited amount of time to indulge your passion for slots.

4. The game’s rules and paytable can be accessed from the ‘i’ button in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

Bet sizes & paytable wins

You can play Viva Fruit Vegas with a coin value that ranges from 0.01 to 5.00 per payline. When applied across all 10 paylines, this gives a total betting range of between 0.50 to 250.00 per spin.

Match three or more symbols across a payline, or even two in some cases, to win a cash prize. The paytable shows win amounts as multiples of your bet per line - not your total stake - as follows:

- Eight = 5x, 10x, 50x, 150x
- Nine = 10x, 15x, 60x, 175x
- Ten with cherries = 20x, 70x, 200x
- Jack with plums = 25x, 80x, 225xx
- Queen with lemons = 30x, 90x, 250x
- King with oranges - 35x, 100x, 300x
- Ace with watermelon = 50x, 150x, 500x
- Wild sevens = 100x, 250x, 1,000x

The Smart Money Bonus pays 5,000x your stake, while the Smart Money Jackpot is progressive, increasing with every spin.

Max-win 2,700x

Viva Fruit Vegas Smart Money Bonus feature

Players on the lookout for free spins, respins, multipliers or slots with mystery symbols won’t find any of these in Viva Fruit Vegas. There is no scatter in this game, although the wild can generate some interesting winning combinations. This game is all about the Smart Money Bonus features.

The Smart Money Bonus feature is activated by placing a bet of at least 0.02 per line on the game. You will see the purple elements light up, showing you that the feature is active. The bonus sum is awarded for landing the active wild on the screen, accompanied by just one other symbol. It pays out 5,000x your stake

To activate the Smart Money Jackpot, you will need to place a wager of at least 0.04 per payline. The jackpot bonus will light up, showing that the feature is live. Now all you have to do is fill the entire screen with wild symbols and the jackpot sum is yours!

Overall review

We tend to favour action and adventure slots games here at Slots Temple, as they keep us entertained with loads of bonus features. There is a distinct lack of features on the reels of Viva Fruit Vegas, but somehow this didn’t seem to matter. The smooth gameplay and general ambience of this slot made for a highly immersive gaming session. Even if you are not normally a fan of classic fruit-themed games, you might well find that this game changes your mind.
