Fruit Blast from Skillzzgaming: Slot Review - put your fruity skills to the test!

Head to the beach and grab a nice fruit smoothie from a bar filled with a bunch of interesting bartenders!

This fruit based slot was released by up and coming software producer Skillzzgaming a while back and it is all about enjoying some tasty fruit cocktails at a bar that is served by a whole host of different bartenders. So get ready to kick back and relax with a nice ice cold fruit smoothie on a paradise beach in a place full of happy smiles, fruity drinks, and plenty of sunshine.

The game is played on a 5 x 5 grid and it includes a level up system and an exciting selection of Bonus Bartender features.

Special Features

The first feature to highlight is that this game does away with the traditional payline format and is played out on a 5 x 5 configuration. It involves clicking on fruit symbols in order to earn points which is very similar to hugely popular games such as Candy Crush and Bejeweled. When you see 3 or more of the same fruit in a cluster then you click on these symbols and they will disappear from view to be replaced by new fruit symbols. The neat thing about this game is that involves an element of skill as you must decide which cluster to click on first and that is why the RTP for this game ranges between 94.02% to 96.12%.

From clicking on fruit clusters, you earn points which unlock different multipliers depending on the fruit selected. For example, grapes will give you 2X your original bet but pineapples will reward you with a lovely 10X your wager. It is possible to earn consecutive winning combinations at the same time and then they will be added together. For instance, if you fill the Grapes Bar and the Pineapple Bar then you will be given a total multiple of 12X the bet value.

The game features two special symbols which are the Jackpot and Bonus symbol. The Jackpot symbol is illustrated by a golden frame with the number 7 displayed inside of it. Manage to blast 3 or more of these when they form a cluster and you will win a fantastic jackpot of 1,030X your wager! The Bonus symbol is depicted by a light pink frame with the word ‘Bonus’ and if you manage to blast 3 or more of these icons then you will be awarded a nice cash prize.

As you play the game, you will start to collect stars which help you level up. The star meter is displayed in the top-right corner and displays the number of stars you need to get to the next level. As you level up, you will unlock new bartenders who each come with their own special features. The Bartenders are as follows:

  • Level 1: Summer – Simple Board Game.
  • Level 2: Hawaiian Shake – Bonus Symbol awards an instant win of up to 8X.
  • Level 5: Dance Nights – Play 5 Free Games. Every game provides a win.
  • Level 9: Pick & Win – Pick circles to win cash prizes until you land on the ‘collect’ icon.
  • Level 12: Goth a Fruit? - 5 rows of fruit contain hidden cash prizes.
  • Level 15: Happy Hour – Get one fruit far filled for free and win up to 10X the bet value.
  • Level 19: Side Dish – Play 1 Free Game with a 10X multiplier. Every game provides a win.
  • Level 22: Double Shake – Double your wins and win up to 64X the bet value.
  • Level 25: Pick & Win II – Pick circles to win prizes and win up to 170X the bet value.

Not only can you unlock these amazing features and play with a different bartender each time you level up but you are also given the chance to complete new missions to earn even more rewards the more you play the game.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The graphics are visually stunning as the game is set inside a lively beach bar that is full of detail and bright colours. Symbols are of a nice variety of fruit as you might expect and consist of cherries, grapes, lemons, watermelons, and pineapples. The animations are a real treat as symbols explode when you click on them and a pleasing aspect of the game is the aesthetic changes each time you choose a different bartender. This is fantastic as it feels like you are playing a whole new game whenever a new bartender arrives on the scene.

The music is relaxing, mellow, and full of slow guitar strums. It suits the beach theme of the game perfectly.

Our Verdict on Fruit Blast

Fruit Blast is made by Skillzzgaming and it is an exceptional game to play. The presentation of the slot is top-notch and I really enjoyed the fact that the game involves a bit of skill as you carefully deliberate on which fruit clusters to choose. The bonus features provide excellent replay value and the more you play this game, the more features you will unlock and the more you are nicely rewarded. For example, you will want to keep on clicking those fruit symbols until you have revealed all the other interesting characters that are the bartenders in the game. With a nice jackpot of 1,030X to aim for as well, this should entice many a player to blast as many fruit symbols as possible!
