When I opened this Fruit Fiesta game, I was expecting the usual fruit game. I didn't see the accompanying Jackpot prize indicated under the game's logo, but what the heck, my initial intention was to try the game out, so with or without the jackpot, there was no turning back for me. Anyway, I do like to play fruity games, every kind of them, so this would add one more to my collection of fruity games played.
Fruit Fiesta is a 15-paylines 5-reels and 3-rows game, with a Jackpot Prize added in as the main Feature Win. The starting minimum bet has been set at $0.75 bet per spin, and the current Jackpot Prize was just over $60,500. Hmm. At $0.75 bet per spin, the Jackpot Prize cannot be won, because the maximum bet must be played to win it. For such a small jackpot prize, I really wonder if anyone would want to chase it, because that prize can only be won with a maximum bet played and getting all 5 Wild symbols on the 15th payline only. Now that is never an easy task. Trying to get 5 Wilds anywhere on any payline is already an almost impossible task, much less to hit it only on the 15th payline. Ah well, someone out there may just be crazy enough to go for it.
The logo 'Fruit Fiesta' is the Wild symbol, paying 9000x the line bet for 5 of them, except if won with maximum bet on the 15th payline. The Scatter symbol pays 400x the total bet for 5 of them, and getting 3, 4 or 5 of these Scatter symbols do not award any Free Spins game, simply because there aren't any Free Spins game! In fact, there aren't any feature game of any kind, so Fruit Fiesta is nothing more than a straightforward slot game, paying 'what you see is what you get'. The symbol '7' pays 750x, the Bar pays 400x, the Pineapple pays 300x, and the others from 200x to 75x, all per line bet for 5 of each kind.
Well, what more can I say? No free spins, no bonus game, a jackpot prize that isn't in the million, and a gameplay that was, and is, nothing more than a straightforward bore, which ate my bets like a hungry boar, that quickly sent me reeling out of the door! What a quick exit that was! The one and only one, as far as I am concerned!
