The free Fruits of Fortune is beautifully stylised that you can almost feel the heat of the jungle, as the ambient sounds of crickets and frogs brings a perfect blend of fauna and flora into your gaming experience. Designed to play in currency, it will only cost 2 of whatever currency you prefer, if playing with real cash, although it's available as a play for free slot game in trial mode which you can try as many times as you like.
It can be found in online casinos and lottery sites and it is mobile optimised to take the gameplay experience to a smartphone or tablet for great gaming on the go. As soon as the game loads you are in for a treat in an instant win game for fun to see how much you can add to your fortune. The Jungle is drawn in a cartoon style but that doesn’t lose any of the jungle magic with lots of green palm leaves and vines and a full moon highlighting the scene at dusk.
Grape Expectations?
The expected return to player percentage for this Jungle expedition is a little disappointing at 66.56%. It’s not unusual for instant wins to have fairly low RTPs and while this isn’t the worst, it’s not the best we’ve seen either. However, it is all a game of chance with instant win games so there is no way to employ any gambling skills to try and compensate for this. What Fruits of Fortune does have, is a reported 1 in 3.48 chance of winning a prize with each play of the game. The lowest prize to win is 2, and the highest award is 10,000. Drop lucky with that prize and there will be happy punters pleased with their fruitful gains.
At the bottom right of the play area is the settings icon. This is handy for tailoring the game sounds if they get a bit too much to bear, although we really enjoyed them. It also gives a very brief overview of what to do in the game for anyone who has never played an instant win game before.
Having a Berry Good Time
There are 6 mini games that give 6 separate chances to win. These are spread out and named Game 1, Game 2, etc on wood panels and each have two flower icons suspended below and the word Prize under them. Players can choose to click on the word ‘prize’ or click on one of the flowers for each game to reveal the fruit and possible prize to be awarded. As the reveals are made, there is a popping sound. Matching 2 fruit on a game wins the prize as specified, and there are lots of fruit to match; strawberries, peaches, grapes, plums, oranges, lemons to name a few.
There isn’t any order that the games have to play in, so punters can click anywhere. If a match is made, the prize will be highlighted and the win marked with a snippet of jungle drums. When all the flowers have borne all of their fruits, any wins are added to together to payout. The jungle likes to celebrate the overall wins with even more jungle drums as a palm leaf drops down and invites player to finish the game.
Fruit for the Taking
They say fruit is good for the diet and to help you get your 5 day of fruity goodness, free Rich Pickings instant win game from IWG will let you pick as much fruit as you can to help keep your bankroll healthy. It has a stake to place but the range goes from 0.50 to 5. The variety of prizes to win is good too, from a jackpot of 20,000 to 200,000 for a max bet. It has two dice to roll and whichever numbers land, correspond to numbers along a 6 x 6 grid full of luscious fruits!
These fruity characters have cute faces and animate with whistling cherries and wacky looking melons to name but a few. There's cool looking fruit too that if they are picked, their shades help to secure a prize. As the fruit gets picked off the grid, it is stored in rows and as they fill, they also cough up the fruity juicy prizes. No skill is needed to play and the RTP for this one is an expected 64.99%.
Instant Fruit
Instant win games can be tons of fun to play and as they are available online, it makes them easily accessible. As the themes and gameplay become more advanced, it can be as thrilling as playing an online video slot, in the case of the latest releases to the instant win platform. The gambling strategists won’t find any advantage in playing them, but anyone with a bit of cash to spare and not too much time to spend will like the fast play to win some quick prizes. They can eat into a money pot quite quickly because of the speed and ease of play, so that’s something to bear in mind with the RTP.
It would have been nice to make Fruits of Fortune as a varied stake per game rather than a fixed price, but the jackpot on offer is adequate enough. Great sounds and visuals always help any game, and this one ticks the box for being right on the button for the theme. Those vines would have looked extra good with an added monkey or two swinging through the jungle on them, but the game still got the job done without them.
