Fruit Mania (Playtech)

Fruit Mania is part of the progressive slot range found at Playtech casinos. It was one of their first progressive games and uses the 5 reel, 5 line format. The game has a fixed coin size of 0.25 and a 5 coin max bet of 1.25 is required to have any chance of winning the progressive which starts at $1,000.

To win the progressive you need to line up five of the Cherry symbols on the fifth pay line. Get the same combination on any of the other four lines and you win 5,000 coins or $1,250. The progressive starts at $1,000 and the average hit size comes in at around $20,000. The highest jackpot ever won on Fruit Mania was a big $229,940.96.

Like most progressive slots there is a big drop from the main progressive win and the next highest pays. In this case the second highest line win is 2,500 coins for five of either the Blueberries or the Oranges. In money terms this is $625 which is not bad for a 1.25 bet but is not great either. From there the five of a kind line wins range from 500 to 200 coins.

Fruit Mania has a scatter symbol which is the Drink. While the scattered Drink symbols do not activate any feature they can pay up to 200X your total bet if you manage to get all five on the screen at the same time. As long as you get three you get a win from the scatters.

The Sun symbols are the key to the bonus game on Fruit Mania. You need to get three, four or five aligned left to right on one of the pay lines to win the bonus. Once activated you move to a second screen stage where you get to pick one fruit from each row to reveal your bonus prizes (Preview). Once you have picked three the bonus ends.

In the end, Fruit Mania is a fairly standard progressive slot in that there are not really any great pays after the main progressive. We like the fact that a scatter has been included and the bonus feature does add another way to win.
