Sometimes we would like to get into slot developers’ heads. It’s not that we are curious about their thoughts but we would like to understand how they have come up with certain ideas. One of the slots that make us do so is FruitBat Crazy by Betsoft. Released in 2019, the title brings a fruit bat to the reels of a fruit machine, as simple as that. Featuring all sorts of juicy fruits and a fruit bat, the slot offers non-typical cascading reels, Wilds going sticky and awarding respins and free games. A maximum possible payout you can hit while playing the game stands at 5,981.25x your stake.
The Betsoft take on a fruit machine uses a 5x3 grid and offers 243 ways to win. However, the bet is configured to 8 paylines only meaning that a betting range starts at $0.08 and goes to $8 per spin. High-rollers may be disappointed with such low bets, though. To win a prize, land 3 or more symbols of a kind on adjacent reels left to right. Press the Spin button or activate automatic spins to turn the reels for you. Whenever you hit a win, you can use the Double up feature and try to increase your payout.
Visually, the slot is quite simple with a set of purple reels populated with different kinds of fruits. The top paying symbol is the pineapple awarding 7.5x your bet. It is followed by other typical fruit machine symbols like lucky 7s, plums, watermelons, oranges, cherries and bells. Wild is represented as the diamond while a bat assumes the role of Scatter.
On to the bonus features, let’s start with the cascading reels. They come in play on every win. However, in this Betsoft title, winning low-value symbols are removed first thus allowing symbols of higher value to appear on the grid. As for Diamond Wild, whenever it contributes to a winning combo, it remains in its position while the rest of the reels respin providing you with an additional chance of winning. The feature lasts as long as new winning combinations are created.
Land 3 or more Fruitbat Scatters anywhere in view and you will win from 10 up to 200 free spins. The maximum number of free spins is granted when you cover the grid entirely with Scatters. In addition, you will win a 2,000 coin prize. The cascading reels and sticky Wilds are available during free games as well.
If you don’t get lucky to trigger free spins yourself, you can use the Buy feature at a specified cost and purchase 20 free turns. The price of the feature depends on the amount of you total bet. Each Buy Bonus Coin that lands on the reels reduces the feature price.
FruitBat Crazy is a fun little game from Betsoft. It comes with medium volatility and an RTP of 95.22%, which could be better. However, thanks to 243 ways to win, the cascading reels and sticky Wilds, the game can turn out to be quite lucrative. If you like this odd take on a fruit machine, you can give FruitBet Crazy a try on your desktop or mobile device.
