High Voltage Fruits wires a retro fruit cabinet to the mains. Electric-blue light streaks across a dark backdrop, a mountain of gold coins rises above the purple reels, and a column of lightning-bolt jackpot banners runs down the left. My bankroll was 5,000 credits at 10.00 per spin.
Theme and Gameplay
The fruit is bright and glossy: purple plums, cherries, lemons, watermelon slices, a golden bell and a lucky blue horseshoe. A grinning jester with a W on his cheek acts as the substitute. At a 10.00 bet, the jackpot banners read Mini 150, Mega 300, Super 1,000, Grand 5,000 and Epic 80,000, or 15x, 30x, 100x, 500x and 8,000x the stake.
Slot Features
Paylines count from reel 1 onwards, and wilds replace every standard symbol but not scatters or Bonus icons. Landing three scatters starts free spins, and a pair or more mid-round tops them up.
A quartet of Bonus icons launches the Bonus Game. Regular symbols fade out, the triggering coins stay, and three respins begin, refilled whenever a fresh Bonus icon arrives. Each coin is worth 0.5x to 5x the stake or carries the Mini, Mega, Super or Grand jackpot. Gathering enough coins on active positions opens extra rows, up to 40 cells in all. As the round begins, the Boost Machine assigns a multiplier to some positions, and any coin landing on one is boosted.
Lucky Lightning may also strike in normal play, letting a Bonus icon on an otherwise empty spin set the feature off.
RTP and Win Potential
Buying a bonus jumps straight into either feature, priced as a multiple of the stake. The purchased spin delivers the scatters or Bonus icons needed for the chosen feature.
Five jackpots, headed by an 8,000x Epic, put the volatility firmly on the high side.
My Thoughts On This Slot
High Voltage Fruits gives a familiar format a real jolt. The expanding Bonus Game is the highlight, and the Boost Machine adds a nice dose of anticipation whenever a round begins. Lucky Lightning softens the blow of empty spins.
The fruit theme won’t win prizes for originality, and its free spins play second fiddle to the coin feature.
