Juicy Fruits Slot – Free Demo
Provider:
Pragmatic Play
Six free spins and a meter above the reels: every third Diamond Scatter it collects adds spins and swells the roaming Crown Wild, from 1x1 toward a full 5x5. Across 480 spins at a 250-credit stake I drew the round twice, never retriggered it, and still took 84 times the stake out of the first one.

Crown Wild blocks on a grid of fruit
And so, I get to Juicy Fruits from Pragmatic Play. The same studio also makes Fruit Party 2 and Wild Pixies. It is run on a 5-reel, 5-row game grid, and assorted fruity symbols land on this grid, building combos across 50 fixed paylines.
Juicy Fruits provides stakes from 0.25 to 125 per spin. The Ante Bet raises the bet by 20% and doubles the chance of triggering free spins. With an RTP of 96.51%, it has a max win of 5,000x the bet, plus a very volatile maths model to suit. My session ran 480 spins and returned 61.5% of the total wagered. A score of 5 out of 6 surely makes Juicy Fruits a volatile ride. My balance hit its lowest point of 29,210 just before the first free spins round.
When identical symbols land left to right on one of the 50 paylines, winning combinations connect in Juicy Fruits. Paying symbols are the Watermelon, Raspberry, Kiwi, Strawberry, Bell, Orange, Lemon, Cherry and 7, and amounts are fairly modest, where five-symbol combinations are worth 2 to 24 times the stake. The 7 is the top regular symbol at 24x the stake for five, with the Watermelon next at 15x. One final symbol, for now, is the Crown Wild. In the base game the Crown Wild can land as a block of 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 or 5x5. Substituting any of the symbols except the Diamond Scatter, wilds pay, where a string of five is worth 24x the bet.
A roaming Wild that grows with every third Diamond
Wild blocks, a roaming Wild, and Progressive Free Spins make up the features. The Wild blocks belong to the base game, while the roaming Wild only appears during free spins.
Landing 3 or more Diamond Scatter symbols triggers the Progressive Free Spins round. The Scatters count anywhere on the grid, with no payline needed. Beginning with 0, 1, or 2 Scatters already collected, the award is 6 free spins when 3, 4, or 5 Scatters are in view, and during free spins, a 1x1 roaming Wild moves every spin. A meter above the reels counts the Scatters collected during the round. Every 3 Scatters collected award 1 to 3 more free spins, up to 4 retriggers. Once the roaming Wild reaches 5x5, the round cannot retrigger again. They grow the Wild to 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5. I triggered two rounds, and each gave 6 free spins with no retrigger.
The Minty Breakdown: My top free spins round returned 84x the stake, though, it should be noted. The other round paid 42x, and together they made up 43% of everything I won.
Two rounds at spins 436 and 478
Coupled with the growing roaming Wild in free spins, Juicy Fruits' Wild blocks keep the tempo moving. Those rounds landed on spins 436 and 478. A large max win is merely one piece of the story, however. Once the maximum win is reached the round ends, and any free spins left are lost.
