Magic Fruits 4 Deluxe

Gameplay style is an important part of any online slot, but it seems like most games follow more or less the same style. Unfortunately, this leads to players getting a similar experience over and over again. With the Magic Fruits 4 Deluxe slot, available at Wazdan online casinos, you'll have a title that gives you an approach to gameplay that you most likely haven't seen or experienced very much. It mixes up some of the common motifs that you see into one title that stretches the usual meaning of fruit machine.

Format and Layout

The format is a key part of the experience for this game, and it's not completely intuitive when you first look at it. There are four vertical reels, and three rows of symbols extend out across them. With that having been said, the paylines in this game do not extend all the way across the reels, and that's one of the main points that you'll have to get used to when you play this particular game. Once you understand how the paylines work, you'll have a better understanding of how this slot is a bit different overall.

There are 10 total paylines, and they come in two sets of five. One set of five extends from left to right and covers three reels. The other set goes from right to left, and it also covers three more reels. This means that paylines 1-5 do not cover the fourth reel, but paylines 6-10 do not cross over the first reel. As you can tell, that makes the symbols on the center two reels a bit more important to payouts, but not in some huge, imbalanced way.

Volatility Adjustments and Pay Table Structure

In the bottom-left corner of the reels, you have an option to change the volatility level of the game. This does not change the payouts. Instead, it adjusts your chances of getting the different kinds of payouts by switching your play through three different sets of reels. The high-volatility option decreases your chances of small and medium wins by quite a bit in exchange for a slightly higher chance of hitting the top payouts. The low-volatility choice does the opposite, and the medium-level option gives a balance between those two extremes.

Joker Jackpot

The top two payouts in this game come from the joker symbol, but it's not a regular symbol like the others. Instead, the joker appears in the bottom corner of the other symbols at random. Three of a kind will get you a 400x payout, the second-largest in the game. However, there's a special four-of-a-kind win that can only show up for the joker, and that will give you a 2,000x jackpot. This is a large win that takes advantage of the different style of format and the gameplay that comes along with it, and we think that this is a really smart way to handle that.

Other Payouts and Prizes

The lucky seven symbol is good for a 160x payout for three of a kind, which isn't bad at all. The grapes can earn you 160x, as can the watermelon or the red berries. You can also earn half that at the 80x level for three of either the bell or plum symbols. The payout for the orange and pear are both 80x for three as well, so there are really only two payout levels outside of the joker. That makes it really simple to keep up with what all of the wins are as long as you can remember that the seven, grape and watermelon pay 160x, and everything else (including the bell, which is normally a higher-paying symbol in games like this) pays 80x.

Our Thoughts

We like the different style of format that the Magic Fruits 4 Deluxe slot by Wazdan brings. The graphics are below-average, but it's the gameplay that's the focus here. Something that would have made this game better is a better visual presentation, but that's not what they were going for. Along these lines, players will either like this game a lot or completely hate it, and there's not much room for anything in between, especially since it's designed to have no frills like bonus features. Overall, it's a good game to have as a part of their portfolio as a whole, but it's understandable that it's not particularly popular.
