Fruits Go Bananas Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

Fruit Go Bananas is an online slot by the developer, Wazdan Gaming, and we can tell from the title alone that this is one of its more offbeat creations, at least in terms of design and theme.

Wazdan isn’t as well-known as the big names like Microgaming or BGT, but it has a solid fanbase. The provider concentrates on producing classic slots with straightforward gameplay and amazing graphics.

Some of these are bare-bones slots with little or nothing in terms of bonuses and animations. Others are more complex, spicing up the gameplay with special symbols, multipliers and free spins.

Fruits Go Bananas falls into the latter category. Players get to join assorted animated anthropomorphic fruit on a tropical cruise where fun and excitement await.

From dancing pineapples to cheerful cherries, every symbol comes to life on a win, and the game also features Multiplier Wilds, a Free Spins round and the famous Wazdan Gamble Feature. This is as entertaining as it is risky, as we’ll explain later.

This game has just five paylines on the 5×3 grid. The transparent reels are set in the prow of the cruise ship plowing through the waves. And here, a word of warning, if you have a tendency to get seasick or car sick, you might want to give this game a miss as the Wazdan design has done a great job with the effects.

Wins are formed with 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels on a payline, and payouts can be anywhere from 2x to 200x the bet for line wins.

Game Features

Multiplier Wild

In Fruits Go Bananas, the wild symbol is a cool pineapple wearing sunglasses with the word WILD on it. It can stand in for any regular symbol, except for the scatter. You can get more than one wild at once, and the payouts for any wins formed with the help of wild are boosted by x2.

Scatter Symbol

There’s also a rather whacked out banana who acts as a scatter. This crazy character awards handsome payouts for three or more anywhere on the grid, and will also grant 10, 20, or 30 Free Spins when 3, 4, or 5 are in view, respectively.

Free Spins

The Free Spins themselves don’t come with any added bonuses, but they are free, and they can be retriggered indefinitely if more scatters land, with the same number of spins awarded for 3, 4, or 5 in view as in the base game.

Gamble Feature

After every win, players can play the Gamble Feature, which gives a 50/50 chance of doubling or losing the win amount. As this can be played up to 7 times in a row, a run of good luck can significantly increase the payout, but it’s a high risk venture. Even so, it’s worth checking out just for the animations.

Clicking the x2 button beside the displayed win amount will see a diving board flip up out of the ship’s deck. A rather worried goatee sporting watermelon climbs to the top of the boar and is sent plunging into the player’s choice of pool below.

If the player chooses well, it will be full of water, and the win is doubled, but a bad choice will get the watermelon a rather nasty bump on the head, and the player loses the current win amount.

Adjustable Volatility

Another great Wazdan feature that is present in Fruits Go Wild is the adjustable volatility. The game starts out in the standard Medium setting, and clicking the little chilli peppers will shift it to high or low.
