So you’re keen on becoming a pro at mixing fruit to create amazing tasting fruit shakes? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Skillzz Gaming presents Fruit Blast, a slot that makes use of a 5 by 5 grid and cluster pays. This slot is very similar to the famous “Candy Crush” so you’ll have no trouble getting the hang of it! Set in a tropical beach setting, Fruit Blast includes the tastiest of fruits such as cherries, lemons, grapes, watermelons and pineapples. You’ll also have the chance to interact with several bartenders while relaxing on the beach as they look to impress you with their fruit shake skills.
Before you start blasting those fruits away, you’ll need to learn how to set your bets. Begin by selecting the “set bet” button. Next, choose from a selection of bet sizes. These range from 0.80 all the way up to 100.00. Once you’re happy with your bet size, simply go ahead and hit the big green “play” button in the centre of the screen.
As soon as you hit play, fruit icons and possibly jackpot and bonus tiles will cascade down. Now all you have to do is click on the selection of 3 or more of the same tile and they will be replaced by new ones. This will continue to happen until there are no more possible moves to make, in which case you can spin again.
Although there aren’t any wilds in this slot, Fruit Blast is far from bland. In fact, it has tons of bonus features and achievements that you can attain. Before we get into the nitty-gritty, it’s important to mention that Fruit Blast has a few special symbols. Firstly, we’ve got the Jackpot symbol which, when forming part of winning combination, grants a jackpot win of x1000 the total bet. The other special symbol of this slot is none other than the Bonus symbol. When you manage to form a winning combo with this symbol, you’re granted with a bonus feature. There are a total of 8 bonus features in this game and each one is uniquely linked with each bartender (accept the starting bartender).
Fruit Blast’s special features! We know you’re going to love these so let’s get straight into it. To begin with, this slot has both a star level meter (situated in the top right-hand corner of the screen) as well as fruit multiplier bars.
The star level meter is filled up whenever you 3 or more of the same symbol land in adjacent positions (anywhere on the grid). For each symbol that forms part of a winning combination, you’ll earn 1 star. These stars will then be added to the star level meter and help you to level up. Each time you level up, achievement goals will pop up and when they are met they’ll help you to gain even more stars. By levelling up you’ll also unlock new bartender characters. There are 8 bartenders that can be unlocked but of course, you’ll need to be committed if you are to reach high levels! As previously mentioned, each bartender also comes with a special feature. Check them out below!
