Day 16 - Ultra Fruit Smash - Slot Review

On Day 16, it took me a while to pick the slot of the day. Then I looked back at the games from our first 15 sessions and realised we hadn’t played a fruit slot yet, so I went with Ultra Fruit Smash from Slotmill.

The studio has been around for a few years and has released a bunch of hit slots such as Ragnarok, Emberfall and Dead Man’s Drop. Ultra Fruit Smash is the first Slotmill game we’ve tried in the 1000 Spins series.

It’s the sequel to their Super Fruit Smash, which, to be honest, I haven’t played, so we kicked off with the newest game in the Smash series.

It’s a 6x6 grid with 8+ Scatter pays and a max multiplier potential of x20,000. It’s a very high volatility slot.

You’ll notice some resemblance to Sweet Bonanza and Gates of Olympus in the mechanics, but to be fair, this game is not a copycat. It’s a perfect example of how a mechanic that works can be remade with a bunch of twists and extra layers.

A few unique features:

Giant Fruits: They show up randomly on the reels with random multipliers attached, which makes it easier to collect those 8 symbols with a multiplier added to the win.

Golden Multiplier Bananas: They carry random multipliers that are immediately added to your multiplier. When you win, the multiplier on them keeps adding to your progressive multiplier.

Multiplier Chests: They carry up to x1000, along with a number. If you keep winning back to back that many times, you unlock the multiplier in the chest. That isn’t enough on its own, though, because you need to hit another win right after to actually use the unlocked multiplier.

There’s a Standard and a Super bonus game. In the Standard one, the win multipliers you collect never reset. In the Super Free Spins, Giant Fruits and Wilds show up on the grid every spin, which sends the total multiplier potential through the roof.

You can buy bonuses from Fast Track, and there’s also Burst Mode, which is a boosted autoplay that completes two rounds per second.

During our session we triggered 5 features: 3 regular bonuses and 2 chests unlocked in the base game (x200 and x500). We couldn’t win anything from the multipliers unlocked by the chests, though. On top of that, we saw a bunch of x50+ wins in the base game. Our biggest multiplier in a bonus round was a x137 win, and we still had a decent winning session thanks to the generous base game hits.

Overall, I must say this has been one of my favourite slots since the start of the project. Even the base game carries a huge multiplier potential, and the bonus, if you can trigger the Super one, can go ballistic.
