Jolly Fruits Slots
Ripe fruits and juicy jackpots make for some jolly spins with this classic from Novomatic software. In fact, Jolly Fruits is up there with some of the best online games in the business with its ultra modern design and duo of progressive jackpots. This 5-reel, 10 payline game doesn't even have any free spins or extra bonus games, but it still provides a thoroughly entertaining gambling experience for players thanks to some potentially fruitful winning opportunities.
Fruits Good Enough to Eat
There are normal fruit machines, and then there is Jolly Fruits – a retro themed game with a couple of modern twists. First of all, the game is designed to a very high standard, showing a spin-able feast of delicious fruit symbols. Plums, oranges, lemons, cherries, watermelons and grapes are all on the menu and they almost look realistic enough to eat! Spinners will also come across a few more iconic symbols from the arcade archives, such as singe, double and triple bars, bells and lucky 7s.
A Duo of Progressive Jackpots
Punters will also notice two more symbols as the reels of Jolly Fruits spin round – a jolly jester and a glowing golden star. The former of these icons is the game's wild symbol which substitutes for other symbols to make winning sequences on the active pay lines. It won't replace the scattering star icon, however. Rather, this scatter symbol doesn't need to appear on paylines to reward spinners with a win.
Both of these icons possess an extra special power beyond their wild and scattering capabilities. That is because these symbols hold a progressive jackpot which keeps on growing with every spin that is played by yourself and other punters. These common jackpots will be rewarded whenever someone spins a winner which contains five jokers or five stars on an active pay line.
Fruitful Wins
Besides from these whopping wins, Jolly Fruits also has a standard pay out schedule which can be observed by clicking the Paytable option. You will find that all of the pay out values change accordingly as you alter the value of the total bet, as will the progressive jackpot amounts.
The symbol which pays out the most after the joker and star is the lucky number 7, five of which will multiply the value of bets on the winning line by 2,000x. Five triple bars rewards a 1,000x multiplier, double bars offer 800x and single bars make for winnings worth 600x the wager on the line. Watermelons, grapes and bells are the next least lucrative icons as they are worth a 400x multiplier when five are found in a winning sequence. Last, and definitely least in terms of value, are the oranges, lemons, plums and cherries; five of each will only award a 200x pay out.
The 10 pay lines of Jolly Fruits are fixed in place, meaning that all line bets are multiplied by 10 to calculate the total bet amount. Players can choose to stake as little as 5 credits per line or as much as 1,000 credits per line. That makes for a minimum total bet of 50, which is a reasonably small amount for spinners who don't want to go too adventurous. On the other hand, a maximum bet worth 10,000 will make for some very risky spins, the rewards of which could be incredibly fruitful (get it?!).
Keep Your Nerve for a Massive Gamble Prize
There is plenty of risky action going on in the Jolly Fruits gamble feature. This side game gives players to grow their wins up to a value worth 100x their total stake. So, if you win 1000 credits from a spin with a 50-credit wager, you could potentially boost that win to 50,000 credits.
The game is simple. You will be presented with a series of flashing steps up to the ultimate gamble prize and the objective is to light up each step by clicking the “Gamble” button. Whether the flashing step will light up permanently is down to a 50/50 chance but each successful step will double the win carried into the gamble game. The question is, do you have the guts to climb the gamble ladder all the way to the top? Just remember that one unsuccessful step and all of your accrued winnings will be lost.
Juicy Fun
Jolly Fruits offers some very entertaining spins for a classic slot machine. With 10 paylines over the 5 reels, you won't necessarily come across a winner with every spin. But when you do, it has the potential to be very juicy indeed. What's more, this game bridges the gap perfectly between out-dated fruit machines and modern day online video slots with its deft attention to visual details.
