Fruitopolis: Fortune Play Slot Review

Fruitopolis Fortune Play Slot Information

Fruitopolis Fortune Play is a 5 reel, 4 row video slot from Blueprint Gaming with 20 paylines that pay any way as long as symbols land adjacent. I spin on a transparent grid set against what looks like a brown leather backrest, with the logo above and the lemon, cherry and plum characters flanking it. The spin button sits to the right, other controls on the left, including the large Fortune Play button.

Stakes start at 0.10 per spin in the standard mode and can rise to a hefty 500 at some casinos, though switching to Fortune Play bumps the minimum to 2 because the stake is multiplied by twenty. The maths model is highly volatile, and the stated RTP sits between 95.06% and 95.38%, which is on the low side. Blueprint advertises a maximum win of 50000x bet, though that feels very theoretical.

Fruitopolis: Fortune Play Symbols and Paytable

The lower paying symbols are not fruits at all but the familiar card ranks 10, J, Q, K and A. On the paytable, three of a kind pays between 0.5x and 1x stake, while full lines of five can return 5x to 10x. They appear in stacked formations, so it is common to see a whole reel filled with one card rank, which can set up wins across several paylines at once.

The premium set in Fruitopolis: Fortune Play sticks to fruit machine tradition. Cherry, lemon and plum symbols pay between 2x and 5x stake for three of a kind, while the red 7 tops the lot with up to 25x for five in a line. Hitting stacked premiums across adjacent reels can cover the grid, and I have seen some chunky screens where the same symbol runs through most of the twenty lines.

Fruitopolis Fortune Play Slot Features

The feature line-up in Fruitopolis Fortune Play is quite lean, which suits the old school theme. There are no free spins rounds here, so the action revolves around special symbols that land during the base game. From my sessions, the slot tends to play in streaks, with long spells of stacked symbols that miss, broken up by bursts where the features line up and the balance can move quickly.

First you have the gold coin Mystery Symbol. Whenever it hits, it transforms into a random paying symbol, and if several reels contain coins on the same spin they all reveal the same icon. Alongside it sits the star-shaped Money Scatter. These land with cash amounts attached, and hitting at least one in view triggers the Money Spins feature, with the star or stars that activated it locking in place on the reels.

The stand-out extra is Fortune Play, which effectively gives you four sets of reels to work with. Tapping the Fortune Play button flips you into a mode where the cost per spin is twenty times higher, but each spin cycles through four 5x4 grids. When Mystery Symbols land on an early grid they are copied to the same reel positions on the remaining windows, which can set up some strong screens of matching icons.

Money Spins in Fruitopolis: Fortune Play

When a star Money Scatter drops in Fruitopolis: Fortune Play, the Money Spins bonus can step in. All triggering money symbols stick while the rest of the positions clear, and you receive three spins on an empty grid. Each new star that lands also sticks and resets the counter back to three. The feature ends when no spins are left or the reels are full, at which point all visible cash values are added together and paid.

Fortune Play Feature in Fruitopolis: Fortune Play

In Fortune Play mode, Fruitopolis: Fortune Play feels almost like a separate game. You spin four 5x4 grids in sequence, starting at the top left, then top right, then bottom left, and finishing at the bottom right. The bet is multiplied by twenty, so even the minimum stake is higher, but any Mystery Symbols that land on the first three windows are copied to the corresponding reels on the remaining grids.

Because those copied coins can turn into the same high symbol on several windows at once, Fortune Play is where I have seen the slot produce its better screens. It is also expensive and quite punishing during dry spells, as you can tear through a balance quickly when the coins refuse to land. I tend to drop in for the odd Fortune Play burst when the base game has already given me a few decent hits.

Fruitopolis Fortune Play Slot Summary

For me, Fruitopolis Fortune Play is a simple fruit slot with a couple of modern twists. The stacked symbols and Money Spins can throw up satisfying line hits, but the lack of free spins and the fairly low RTP range mean it can feel quite grindy. The advertised 50000x potential looks optimistic, and during my play the game felt more like a solid, swingy option for short sessions than a long-haul grinder.
