Fruitastic Slot – Free Demo

BF Games
Nine Diamonds have to cover every position of the 3x3 before Fruitastic's bonus even opens, and then it hands over a single pick worth 10x to 200x the total bet. Over 430 spins the round showed up once and paid 100x, while BF Games' quoted 6% hit rate looked shy next to 115 paying spins.

Five lines across a 3x3 of fruit
Fruitastic is a video slot with 3 reels, 3 rows and 5 fixed paylines. BF Games, the studio behind Wild Jack and Book of Ming, released it on 1 December 2017. The slot offers a fruit wall and a pick bonus game, and it carries a fruit theme.
Fruitastic contains 4 fruit symbols - oranges, melons, plums and cherries. The 4 additional symbols are depicted by bells, stars, diamonds and bars. A line win needs three matching symbols along an active payline, counted from the leftmost reel to the rightmost.
Nine stacked fruits for a doubled win
There is 1 feature reward in the base game. It doubles the win when 9 matching fruit symbols land on the screen, and all four fruits are stacked. After a win the game can also offer a Gamble Game Mode.
Picking one of nine Diamonds
The bonus mode is activated by landing 9 Diamond symbols, and in the bonus mode the player selects one of the Diamonds. The studio's game page says 7 Diamonds trigger the round, but the rules PDF says nine and pairs them with nine values. Each Diamond hides a randomised value. Those values are 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 100 and 200, shuffled across the nine Diamonds before the pick.
Selecting a Diamond grants 10x to 200x the total bet
Against a 6% hit rate
My session ran at a 5.00 stake and took the balance from 10,000.00 to 10,414.50, with the biggest single hit a 980.00 win on spin 416, 196x the stake. There is meant to be a pick bonus. Nine Diamonds on a 3x3 grid means a Diamond on every position. But I got to see it just once in 430 spins. It arrived on spin 261 and lifted the balance from 9,564.00 to 10,064.00. When it did, it returned 100x the total bet. BF Games quotes a 6% hit rate, a figure my session overshot comfortably, with 115 of 430 spins paying (27%), although 63 of those paid less than the stake.
The slot carries a 96.18% RTP.
Final Minty Score: the 196x line hit on spin 416 outpaid the Diamond pick, which landed on 100x out of a possible 200x, so across 430 spins the base game did more of the lifting than the bonus. Filling the whole screen with Diamonds only to be handed a blind pick is a very long way to go for a lucky dip.
