Ripe Rewards Slot

Ripe rewards is a fruit themed 5x5 grid slot from Pragmatic play with 40 play lines. You can play this game from a starting bet of 20 cents and for you to achieve a winning hit, you need 3 or more identical symbols from the leftmost reel. There are 6 premium symbols in pomegranate, peach, pear, watermelon, grapes and cherries. These symbols pay from 15x to 3x your bet on connections of 5 of a kind. There are 5 minor symbols and these pay from 2x to 1.25x your bet on connections of 5 of a kind. Wild symbol substitutes all paying symbols and pays 15x your bet on connections of 5 of a kind. Wild symbol can also carry multiplier values of 2x, 3x and 5x.
The scatter symbol only lands on reel 1, 3 and 5 in the base game and landing these three on a single spin gives you a bonus round. In the bonus round you get 7 free spins and every time you land a wild it stays sticky till the end of the feature. The bonus round activates the scatter symbol on all reels and collecting 2 of these will increase the wild multiplier to 2x and also give you 3 free spins. Collecting 3 more scatters will award all wilds a multiplier of 3x and award you 2 spins. If you manage to collect 5 more scatters then all your wilds will have a multiplier of 5x plus an extra spin will be added.
I find the base game really exciting because of the multiplier feature and you can get wins ranging from 30x to 150x easily once every 200 to 250 spins. The bonus can take 300 to 400 spins and I suggest you play with the extra bet activated as it will help you land the bonus quicker. The price is 50% of your base bet. The bonus can be underwhelming most of the times. Bonus build up is great in the first 4 to 5 spins but then the game just refuses to progress. Most of my hits have been in the range of 30x to 60x and the biggest one I have had is a 270x. The game also lets you buy an instant bonus round for the price of 100x your base bet. I suggest you not to buy this as returns are usually low from this feature.

There are 11 symbols in his game and payout values for 8 of them are really low. After you upgrade to the second level the scatter just disappears from the game. I must have triggered over 20 bonuses and I have managed to reach the second level on 18 of these and I can promise you that I have seen the scatter symbol only thrice in the third level.
