Fruit Blox

The gameplay experience of the Fruit Blox slot, a title produced by Red Tiger Gaming, is all about getting lots of small and mid-level wins that pile up over time and keep the swings from this game from getting out of hand. Along with that comes an excellent rendition of fruit machine graphics all based on bright colors and an almost neon presentation. These factors come together to create an experience that's all about action, which is complemented pretty well by the way that the feature set has been put together in terms of giving players more ways to win sizable payouts than what you may find in the regular game mode.

Slot Layout

No matter what you're expecting when you first load up this game, chances are that you're going to be at least somewhat surprised by the way it's laid out. Six vertical reels are set across four horizontal rows, and while it may seem obvious that there will be plenty of ways to win, you may not be prepared to hear that there are 1,296 ways to get paid on every single spin that you make.

Bet sizes are chosen from a simplified interface that doesn't take in the complication of numbers of coins on lines or different sizes of coins. You'll simply choose from $0.20 to $500 per turn as your wager of choice. The only thing to keep in mind with this is that some casino sites will have a hard limit for this game that's lower, and if that's the case, then it's usually $100 or $200.

As the betting is centered around setting an entire bet instead of dealing with paylines, all of the wins are multiples of the total bet size per spin. With that having been said, don't get discouraged if they seem pretty low. With the all ways format, there are great chances that you'll win several times on the same spin, especially for combinations of four, five or six symbols.

Free Spins Bonus Round

Free spins symbols can appear on the reels and give players free turns. The number of free spins that you get is determined by how many free spins symbols show up to begin with, but it's a pretty simple one-to-one count. This is one of the most straightforward free spin features that we can remember having seen, and it's a breath of fresh air compared to the complications that can often come from deciding how many turns you'll receive.

Before the free spins start, a random symbol is also chosen to be an extra wild. With the all-ways format in effect, that obviously gives you plenty of extra opportunities for more wins than usual.

Mega Symbol Wins and More

You'll notice that symbols that are larger than usual sometimes appear on the game board. These are the Mega Tiles, and they can show up in 2x2 or 3x3 forms. When they do show up like this, it's as if that symbol is found on each one of the individual spots that the Mega Tile covers.

There is a special feature associated with these Mega Tiles. If you get two of them matching on adjacent reels, then the payouts created with those two Mega Tiles will be doubled. Note that this applies to free spins as well since you can get free spin Mega Tiles, and if two of them fall side-by-side, your number of free turns is multiplied by a factor of two for that instance of the feature.

Pay Table and Wins

The pay table for this game is pretty balanced. Six of the lucky seven earns 2x, and six of the green star pays out 1.6x for players. You can also win 1.4x or 1.2x for six of the teal bell or blue bar symbols, respectively.

The fruit symbols start with the grapes and watermelons, and they pay 1x and 0.8x for six of a kind of either. You can score 0.6x with six oranges or 0.5x for six of the lemons, and it's the cherry symbol at the bottom of the pay scale that earns you 0.4x when you line up six of them on the reels.

Final Thoughts

Here are a few things to consider about this game:

• The volatility is super-low, and the hit-rate is super-high.
• The free spins mode is easier to get than most other slots, but your average number of free turns will be lower.
• There are no combination-specific wins on the pay table for the wild symbols.

Red Tiger Gaming's Fruit Blox slot brings a fair amount to the table, and players who like this style of play will love it.
