Juicy Fruits Slot Review

Juicy Fruits (Pragmatic Play) Review

When I first loaded up Juicy Fruits (Pragmatic Play) I was struck by the reels floating in a huge cocktail, fizzing away behind those glossy fruit symbols. It is a 5x5 grid with 50 fixed paylines, a classic fruit slot on paper but with a very modern edge. It looks slick, the fruits feel almost photo real, and the whole set-up screams high volatility action rather than a sleepy three reel pub slot.

From my own play the base game can feel like a desert walk, spins ticking by with only the odd small hit or random crown wild to keep you afloat. The real excitement sits in the free spins feature and those growing roaming wilds. With a max win of 5,000 times your stake, you are chasing moments rather than steady value, which fits the high risk profile perfectly. I stick to the 96.5 per cent RTP version whenever I can.

Juicy Fruits Features

The crown wild is the heart of Juicy Fruits Features for me. It can drop in sizes from a tiny 1x1 up to a massive 5x5 square, even in the base game, and it substitutes for all regular pay symbols. When that larger wild lands in a sweet spot across several premium fruits or sevens, the whole screen suddenly comes alive and single spins can throw out serious payouts.

In free spins the slot leans hard on scatter collection. Three or more diamond scatters trigger six spins on special reels, with a 1x1 roaming crown guaranteed on every round. Above the grid a meter counts collected diamonds, and every set of three upgrades the wild to 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and finally 5x5, while handing out one to three extra spins so the feature can stretch much longer than it first appears.

On some versions of Juicy Fruits you also get two levers to pull if you want more bonus action. The Ante Bet bumps your stake by twenty per cent but stuffs extra scatters into the reel strips, which really does make the feature land faster in my experience. Where allowed, the bonus buy costs one hundred times the bet and drops you straight into free spins without the usual waiting game.

The 200 Spins Juicy Fruits Experience

I ran a proper 200 spins Juicy Fruits session to see how the numbers feel rather than just reading the paytable. With the high volatility and roughly twenty two per cent hit rate quoted, I was not shocked to see long dry patches followed by sudden bursts when the roaming wild grew. One full bonus round where the wild reached 4x4 pretty much paid for the whole test on its own.

Review Summary – Juicy Fruits

For me Juicy Fruits is very much a hit or miss affair. The base game is mostly a desert walk, saved now and then by a random oversized crown, and it is obvious the whole design leans on that growing roaming wild bonus. When the feature clicks and the wild hits 3x3 or bigger the slot feels fantastic, but plenty of rounds fizzle out with six spins doing next to nothing.

If you like Juicy Fruits slot, you should also try:

If you like Juicy Fruits slot, you should also try looking at other fruit themed titles from the same studio and from a few of the big names in slots. There are plenty of games built around classic sevens, bells and mixed fruits, some with simple line payouts and others using more modern mechanics. I often switch between Juicy Fruits and these when I fancy the look but want a different volatility profile.

I would group Juicy Fruits with the modern high risk fruit slots where most of the action comes from free spins rather than the base game. If you enjoy chasing big wilds that fill large chunks of the grid and can send the win counter racing, that whole slice of the market has plenty to offer, whether you lean towards simple graphics or more elaborate bonus rounds.
