Fruit Shop Megaways Review
Classic NetEnt slot Fruit Shop gets a Megaways upgrade
Classic NetEnt slot Fruit Shop has been given a Megaways upgrade, thanks to the recently acquired Red Tiger’s licence, and created a slot that’s juicier than ever! Fruit Shop Megaways is a six-reel slot with up to 117,649 paylines, just waiting for you to take a bite.
How to Play Fruit Shop Megaways Slot
To play Fruit Shop Megaways, just set your coin value and bet level, from 0.20 coins up to 100 coins per spin, and hit the Spin button. You can also use the Autoplay panel which gives you the options: Turbo Spin, Quick Spin and lets you set the number of automated spins. You can also choose ‘Fast Forward’ to make the reels spin much quicker.
To win at Fruit Shop Megaways, you need to match three or more symbols, from left to right. The symbols are divided into two categories, the low-paying 10-A symbols, and the medium-paying fruits.
The cherries only require a pair to pay out and the Wild symbol can appear on any reel apart from reel one and will substitute for any other symbol, to increase your win potential.
Special Features & Bonuses in Fruit Shop Megaways
Free Spins
As with the original slot, it is the Free Spins which are the star feature here, and you will get free spins with every fruity winning combination. Unlike the Fruit Shop slot, here, the lower-paying symbols also trigger free spins.
The Megaways mechanism is active during free spins rounds too and there is an increasing win multiplier in play that grows by 1x with each spin, up to 10x. If there is no win on a particular spin, the multiplier will stick at its current value.
Design & Theme
Just like its predecessor, Fruit Shop Megaways is bursting with colourful imagery with lemons, oranges, watermelons, cherries and more tempting snacks to make your mouth water. It’s still set against a market stall emerging from lush tall grass against a clear blue sky, however, the old-school fruit machine graphics are crisper and sharper to reflect the updated nature of the slot. Wins are shown by large shining pieces of fruit popping out of the screen with the totals displayed and the sound of coins being calculated and added to your pot.
Fruit Shop Megaways RTP & Math Model
The respectable 96.06% RTP is slightly lower than the original but still more or less average. However, the additions to the original slot, particularly the Megaways feature, have increased the volatility from a low-mid volatility to a high volatility.
This means it could leave a bitter taste for players who prefer low-risk slots. On the other hand, it makes the game more exciting for those seeking a high-risk, (potentially) high reward slot.
Our Verdict
The Megaways upgrade won’t be to everyone’s taste, as purists may miss the simplicity of the original Fruit Shop slot. However, it's a fresh take on a classic, with the Megaways mechanism upping the ante for fans of the original and new players alike. Our advice? Suck it and see!
