Fruit Party 2 Slot Review

Pragmatic Play found a working formula with the first Fruit Party and stuck with it. The Fruit Party 2 bears much semblance to the first installment. We get to experience the tumble feature in the base game with the random multipliers to increase the payout. But we still have a few slight differences as well.

This time, the multipliers appear as wild symbols and can go much higher in the bonus round than what we had in the first game. Things get even better when these multipliers are part of a winning combination. Land the multiplier for a specific number of times in a row, and you will have 256x to multiply to your payout.

The multiplier value goes even higher during the free spins in Fruit Party 2. As for the free spins, this July 23, 2023, release from Pragmatic Play offers retriggers with bonus scatter symbols.

Fruit Party 2 is one of the many bonus buy slots from Pragmatic Play. As such, you can buy the free spin round instantly. But that will cost a significant part of your balance, depending on your current stake size.

The Fruit Party 2 slot has seven reels and seven rows for standard gameplay, which is what you’ll get in both the base game and the free spin round. But, for the free spin round, special reels will be in play until the round ends.

For any spin, you can bet as little as $0.20. Conversely, the highest bet size in the game is $100.

Pragmatic Play offers a maximum win of 5,000x in the game. Unlike other slots that reserve their maximum wins for bonus features, Fruit Party 2 allows players to hit the maximum win both in the base game and during free spins.

Note that if you get to 5,000x before running out of free spins, the round will close immediately. You will return to the base game.

Fruit Party 2’s volatility is high. The theoretical RTP is equally competitive at 96.53%, but what you’ll get when using the buy bonus feature is 96.45%.

We still have the colorful reels from the first Fruit Party game. The symbols are different-colored fruits, from red to green, gold, purple, and blue. Surrounding the reels is a purple frame, with the purple accent carrying over to other parts of the game area.

The Fruit Party 2 Pragmatic Play adds a green landscape to the background of the game. You’ll see the flowers and trees sway in the wind while smoke rises out of the chimney in the house.

As for the controls, we have them at the bottom with the tumble win accumulator on the left. That is where your tumble wins accumulate for each spin. 

The music is upbeat, with thumping sounds to indicate when the symbols land during a spin. Besides that, you’ll hear occasional effects when you land a special symbol or a cluster pay.

When it comes to spinning the reels in Fruit Party 2, you can have it with the manual spin or the auto-spin option. The auto-spin option supports up to 1,000 spins, and you can skip screens as well when playing. There is also an option to add turbo spins or quick spins during the auto-spin feature.

On the bottom left, you’ll see your balance, which will be $100,000 if you play the Fruit Party 2 demo. Your stake size is beside it, and you can adjust it before spinning the reels.

For the final step before clicking the spin button, you can simply add the bonus buy feature or skip it entirely.

To play Fruit Party 2, do the following:

1. Load the game and switch to auto-spin or use manual spins.
2. Use the + and - buttons to adjust your stake.
3. Click the spin button to start Fruit Party 2.

The Fruit Party 2 slot offers the free spin feature with higher multipliers, but it gets better. The multipliers in a cluster will be added before multiplying the total win in that cluster. Then, the game will add them up for your total payout.

As for free spins, Fruit Party 2 has even more than the first game. 

The Random Wild Multiplier Feature

With every cascade during a winning spin, you can get a random wild symbol. The symbol will appear randomly when a cluster explodes. It can appear in any spot, but when it does, it comes with random multipliers.

First off, you’ll get a 2x multiplier from the wild symbol. This multiplier will apply to any new winning clusters that the wild symbol is a part of.

As in Megaways slots, you can have multiple cascades on one spin. Every time the wild symbol appears again, the multiplier will increase. 

Bonus Buy Option: No

Free Spins

Hitting three or more scatter symbols during the base game triggers the free spins. For three scatters, you’ll get 10 free spins. Hit four or five scatters, and you’ll get 12 or 15 free spins.

6 scatters will trigger 20 free spins, while 7 scatters trigger 25 free spins. Anyone you trigger will still have the random wild multiplier feature. However, instead of starting with a 2x multiplier, the wild symbol will start with a 3x multiplier.

You can retrigger the free spin round by hitting three to five scatters before the round ends.

Bonus Buy Option: Yes (10x your stake)

All the symbols, except the wild icon, are fruits. To win with any of them, you’ll need to have at least five in a cluster. The only exception is the scatter symbol, which pays from three in a cluster. With three, you’ll get 3x, while 4, 5, 6, and 7 scatters award 5x, 10x, 20x, and 100x, respectively.

You can have as many as 15 matching symbols in a cluster. That will give you the highest payout from that symbol.

As for the paytable, here are the payout multipliers for all the possible combinations and amount of symbols:

The game uses a cluster pay mechanic. To win, you’ll need at least 5 regular paying symbols either in a vertical or horizontal cluster.

Like what we find in most free slot games with cluster pays, the winning symbols in Fruit Party 2 will explode and leave the reels. New symbols will take their spots. That leaves room for more wins on a single spin. The cascade will continue until you have no new winning symbols in a cluster.

For the free spin bonus buy feature, note that the price will change according to your bet. It is a guaranteed trigger for the free spins round. However, it does not guarantee a winning spin when the round begins.

When looking at other versions with fruits and multipliers, Cluster Slide, Jammin Jars 2, and the original Fruit Party are the most notable. The first Fruit Party shares the same 7x7 grid, free spins, and random multipliers. However, it falls behind in the number of free spins and how high the multipliers go.

Jammin Jars has an even bigger grid with 8 reels and 8 rows. The maximum win of 50,000x is also much higher than what Fruit Party 2 offers. As for the bonus features, the game has mystery symbols, multipliers, sticky wilds, and level-ups.

Cluster Slide uses a cluster pay mechanic, but this time on an 8x7 grid. The maximum win is 10,000x, while the bonuses include free spins, multipliers, random wilds, and symbol swaps.

All these slots are available as free casino games and can be played with real money as well.

Fruit Party 2 offers unlimited retriggers on its free spin feature—that is, until you hit the maximum win. While at it, you’ll receive high wild multipliers for every cascade that leaves a wild symbol on the reel.

The presence of increasing multipliers in the base game also adds high winning potential to the base game. However, the maximum win of 5,000x does leave Fruit Party 2 behind competing slots like Jammin Jars. Also, there isn’t much in the game to stand out significantly from the first installment, Fruit Party, which also has a maximum win of 5,000x.

Altogether, Fruit Party 2 works best for casual players, especially those joining online casino gaming for the first time. High rollers can still play it, but the limited betting range and low maximum win might not fit well with their gaming style.
