If you played and enjoyed Funky Fruits by Playtech, you'll enjoy this more conventional take on online slots. The Funky Fruits Farm video slot has a regular reels set-up but maintains many of the images from that Candy Crush-inspired great.
In come a 3x5 reel set-up, Wild symbols, and some nice 3D graphics. There's also a top bonus to get your teeth into. If you like lots of low-variance wins for real cash, and the chance to actually win a bonus game, this could be for you. Let's take a closer look.
Funky Fruits Farm is played over 5 reels, with 20 paylines to gamble over. The fruity farmer will jump into view to give you a gentle "nudge" with his rake if you dither on having a bet. Keep watching as he gets chased off-screen by his tractor!
Players can set their coins at 0.01, but a max bet of 0.75 a coin (total bet 15.00) is still attractive for most wallets. You can also programme an Autoplay to do the work for you.
Unlike the Funky Fruits online slot, the lemons and oranges are the main attractions, not the cherries. You'll only need two lemons or oranges on a payline to win a prize - 2x your line bet - with cherries paying 20x-400x for 3OAK to 5OAK.
The low limit payers are the 9-through-Ace icons, paying 2x to 150x. However, just two matching nines will dish out a win.
You know when an online slot is conventional when it dishes out Wild symbols. This 'splat' WILD symbol will stack on the reels, and substitutes for all regular icons other than the Scatters. It will also double any winning combos it helps form.
Remember the jolly fruit farmer, dashing about the screen wondering why all his fruit have faces and human expressions? He will 'scatter' quite literally as a bonus icon that pays wherever he lands. Just two Scatter symbols pays 2x your line bet, but five Scatters awards gamblers a 500x payout.
The farmer also triggers a free spins bonus game. You can win up to 33 free spins and a multiplier on each win up to 15x. As you enter the bonus you'll automatically win 8 free games with a 2x multiplier. Punters then get to pick 2 of 5 fruits that can add extra multipliers and spins to your total. Best of all, the feature can be retriggered indefinitely.
Classic slots have used fruit symbols in their games for decades. But it doesn't mean that manufacturers have ditched the theme in more recent times.
Like Funky Fruits Farm, Fruit Case by NetEnt features lots of wacky-looking oranges, strawberries and pears, all set on a 5x3 set of reels. The game features bonus Scatters that can trigger "free falls".
With this feature, the symbols fall onto the screen to complete winning combos, and will then be "squashed" to make room for the symbols above to fall down. In addition, consecutive wins can move you further along the Fruit Case multiplier. It's possible to win up to 160,000 coins in the game.
If you don’t mind lots of small slots wins but the chance to trigger a lucrative free spins round, Funky Fruits Farm could be for you. Do check out its sister slot, Funky Fruits, for bigger wins - and much bigger volatility - but you could be spinning for a while before counting your profits.
