Fruit Shop Megaways Slot NetEnt

Fruit Shop Megaways is a game that was released earlier this year by Netent game provider. I believe it was their first Megaways release, so I remember there was a lot of anticipation around it. However, while I was interested in trying this game out, I was never a big fan of the Fruit Shop slot, which is the basis of this slot.

Fruit Shop Megaways is a fruit theme inspired slot with a megaways mechanic. And keeping it the same way as it was for the regular Fruit Shop slot, the game has free spins but no scatter symbols. So whenever a win is created with fruit symbols, free spins are awarded. However, the bigger the winning combination, the more free spins you'll get. I think I've had a maximum of 5 free spins for multiple cherries. I do think that compared to the regular Fruit Shop slot, the volatility is much higher here, but it's also possible to get good winnings. Also, I think that the way free spins work is quite exciting. For every winning combination, you'll get additional free spins and the multiplier will increase. I think it makes the slot more exciting, however, it's very easy to end up with only 2 free spins and 0 wins. Having said that, it's definitely a slot that requires decent balance and has high variance.

Overall, I have a bit of a love and hate relationship with this slot. I really like the game design and I think that the way they've incorporated the inspiration from Fruit Shop slot, is quite fun. Also I much prefer the megaways version as I've had a few good base game hits around 100x bet. Besides, the free spins definitely have good winning potential, as the multi[lier increases with every win, as well as you can get additional free spins. All in all, it's a good slot, however, not too often the free spins give good winnings, and since you never know how many free spins you get, you can end up with a single free spin. I wouldn't spend too much money on it as my best win has only been around 200x bet, but it's a game I like to play from time to time.

Fruit Shop Megaways is a 6 reel megaways slot released by Netent in 2021. It's a sequel to a previous slot released by Netent, Fruit Shop and similar to its predecessor it has a classic fruit theme.
The slot is a 6 reel slot that can have a maximum of 117,649 pays in one spin. The slot can have minimum of 2 and maximum of 7 symbols on every reel. Different to other megaways slot it does not have the cascade feature and you only get one hit per spin.

The slot has 5 low variance symbols in 10,J,Q,K and A, which pay 0.40, 0.5, 0.70, 1 and 1.25 times the bet size respectively. Then we have the mid variance symbols which are fruit symbols that are watermelon, orange, lemon and plums and they pay 1.5, 1.75, 2.25 and 4 times the bet size. The highest paying symbol is cherries which pays 12.5 times the bet size. The slot also has a wild symbol which lands anywhere from reel 2 to 6. The minimum bet to play this slot is 20 cent and you can bet as high as $100 per spin and can have a maximum win up to 20,000x your bet size.
Fruit Shop megaways has a very simple bonus feature where every paying connection of fruit symbols gives you a bonus feature. A connection of 3, 4, 5 and 6 fruit symbols gives you 2 3 4 and 5 free spins respectively. If more than one symbol gives a connection then the free spins are added up. There is a slight advantage which cherry symbol that gives a free spin even when two symbols connect. After you trigger the bonus feature the bonus feature works the same way as base game but here even low variance symbols gives you frees spins. Every connection of 3, 4, 5 or 6 low variance symbols gives you 1, 2,3 and 4 free spins respectively. Every win in the bonus feature increases the multiplier by 1x and you can get the multiplier up to 10x.

Unlike other reviews on our site which have a strong dislike of this slot my experience has been quite pleasant. The base game can be dead for most of the times but one base game hit can also give you the money lost in your entire session. The bonus feature can be ruthless by giving you zero win spin in over 10 free spins on the trot but it can also give you a good 300x in just 2 spins. My personal best on this slot has been a 950x on a 40 cent bet and I have had lots of 500x wins. This slot needs a lot of time and patience if you want big wins.

What a great game it is without megaways system attached.
If you love the original stay with the original, don't let rubbish function destroy what great games look like. It's the perfect money burner.
Stay away.

The Fruit Shop is one of NetEnt's classic slots which gets a Megaways™ makeover. If I am not mistaken, it is the third installment of their collection, a fact which presupposes a new reconstruction of all its classic titles (?) The original Fruit slot was renowned for basic gameplay with it’s clever Free spin feature. In this version, the provider has captured all of that, while expanding just every other aspect of the game adding: High Volatility/6 Reels up to 117.649 Ways to Win/Max win up to 10.000x bet.

The opening view shows the Fruit Shop which is located in the countryside and is waiting to sell his nutritious fruit, backgrounded by plenty of vegetation and clear blue skies. Landing a win requires 3 or more matching symbols, sitting adjacently, from the leftmost reel. This does not apply to the cherries, as these need only 2 or more to pay. Every Fruit symbol win triggers Free spins. The amount awarded depends on the symbol and the length of the combination. Any medium win combo of 3, 4, 5, or 6 symbol length awards 2, 3, 4, or 5 free spins respectively. One exception to the rule is the cherries which awards 1 Free spin for 2 Of a Kind win. Fans of cascade feature, will be disappointed to see they are not part of Fruit Shop Megaways™ this time. Take note that the maximum Multiplier on Free spins mode, can reach is 10x (which I personally find as a disadvantage).

In my recent session that i had, the feature dropped nice and early though Hehe! Nevertheless, with a low reward.

If you thought Queen of Riches from BTG is highly volatile with empty base game spins for most times, then you do not have to worry as Fruit Shop Megaways takes the cake in that category.

Fruit Shop megaways is based on the popular 15 pay line slot from Netent. They imbedded the megaways engine into this release, for a greater potential. Now instead of 15 lines, you can win with up to 117 649 paylines. Now we all know how popular Megaways slots are for their potential, but I have to admit, many fans will be disappointed with this release, or maybe that is just for me.

The slot has a similar setup as the first release, where it comes with the standard symbols ranging from 10 – A's. Higher paying symbols are represented by different fruits on the reels inside a shop. Now the fruit shop symbol is a wild symbol and substitutes for all other symbols. Not sure if it provides a multiplier, since you get free spins with infinity multipliers.

So free spins can easily be triggered if we take a look at the first installment, but do not let that fool you in the megaways version. First of all this slot has many ways 80% of the time you get a 10 000 plus megaways spin, but it simply just never hit. If you manage to get the hits 90% of the time are your royal symbols.

I have this slot yesterday with over 500 spins and to be honest, I entered free spins about 9 times in total. Now it took me on average 30 – 60 spins to hit a line with fruits, to trigger the free spins. During free spins normally when you generate a win with royals or fruits, extra spins are awarded and the multiplier increases. I managed to get just over x50 wins during free spins as my highest and on average zero wins during free spins.
