Electric Fruit Slot

Electric Fruit slot is a classic example of how modern fruit slots behave. Try it out now.

Does OJO have to say it out loud or did you get it? Yes, it’s a fruit machine. Merkur Gaming has been pumping out video-inspired classic slots and Electric Fruit is one of the latest. The iGaming world in Canada seems to like the blend of older classic slots and modern video slots quite a lot.

So, without any further ado, let’s dive into the world of Electric Fruit Slot in Canada.

Electric Fruit Slot

Electric Fruit slot is a 5-reel video slot with a class twist. If you’ve seen other games from Merkur’s library, the Joker Nature, for example, you may have noticed a 5x4 layout. In the case of this game, the developer decided to stick to the 5x3 layout.

Once the game is up and running, there are 10 paylines for you. It’s an optimum number of paylines considering the overall mechanics of the game. The paylines are marked outside the grid. They’re colour-coded and numbered so it’s very unlikely that you’ll miss them.

The bet value for the Electric Fruit slot in OJO varies between C$0.10 and C$10. It’s actually the universal bet range for this game. As all 10 paylines are active all the time, this video slot is extremely easy to keep track of.

According to the developers, this title offers a 96.15% RTP and low volatility. It’s an extremely beginner-friendly combo. Low volatility means you will hit paylines quite frequently. Pair it up with the high RTP and you may generate some substantial numbers.

Theme & Sound Design

At a first glance, the Electric Fruit slot seems very much retro. There’s a pinkish hue to all the graphical elements. If you didn’t get the “pinkish hue” reference, you should really watch Seinfeld. It’s one of OJO’s favourite sitcoms of all time!

Coming back to the point, the backdrop in this game is as plain as it can get. Similar games from the same provider do offer vibrant backdrops from time to time. But not in this one. It’s a plain purple background. In fact, purple is prominent throughout the interface.

When you press the spin button after setting your desired bet value, the reels will start to spin from left to right. It’s a very smooth motion which shows that the Electric Fruit slot is very much optimized. You can even play the game from mobile devices without any hiccups.

Once you win something, the winning symbols will highlight and dance around on the screen to get your attention. The feature OJO liked the most is the payline marker. Remember how all 10 paylines are marked outside the grid? They lit up if you land a winning combination!

Coming to the sound design, there’s nothing really interesting going on. You’ll hear the reels spins and a pleasant sound when there’s an active line.

Symbols

The collection of symbols in the Electric Fruit slot is surprising. Primarily because they’re pretty much carried over from other titles by the same provider. Sure, there have been some graphical tweaks in the texture of the fruits. But they’re mostly identical.

The highest paying symbol in the game is the Lucky 7. It’s a huge “7” with a glowing ball in the background. When you have 5 of these on a payline, you receive a whopping 100x payout. For 4, you get a 2x payout. Do you see how the payments drop significantly? The Lucky 7 pays down to 2 on a payline.

Next up, we have the grape and the watermelon. Both of these symbols have the same value. For 5 on a payline, you receive 20x your bet value. For 4 on a payline, it’s 5x. And for 3 on a payline, you can get a payout 2 times larger than your bet.

The next set of symbols includes the plum, the orange, the cherry, and the lemon. For 5, 4, and 3 on a payline, they pay 10x, 2x, and 1x of your bet. The last set has the cherry and the lemon.

Last but not least, there are 2 wild symbols in the game. They’re the indigo 3x and the pink 2x. They can only appear on the first reel. The “x” factor is the multiplication. So, if you get a working 3x wild, your winnings will be multiplied by 3.

Bonus Features

The bonus features in all Merkur titles are more or less the same. It can be said for the Electric Fruit slot as well. As you may have noticed, there are scatter symbols in the game which means no free spins rounds for any players.

The card gamble and the ladder gamble are two bonus options you can utilize. On the card gamble feature, you have to pick a red or a black card and gamble your winnings. If your guess is correct, you double your payments. The ladder gamble is similar but you can adjust the payout ratio.
