About Fruit Blast

Released in 2017, Fruit Blast is a unique game from Skillzzgaming that offers different gameplay with the potential to win up to a 1,000x jackpot. Instead of reels, Fruit Blast has a grid-like setup. Fruit Blast is a cluster match-style game that is very much inspired by the globally popular Candy Crush Saga. All you have to do is match three or more similar symbols on adjacent reels. 

Just like many other fruity-themed games, Fruit Blast is set in a tropical paradise that’s far away from the daily grind. You’ll see a smoothie bar in the background with a view of a gorgeous harbor through the window. Unlike other slot games, there are no reels, but there’s a 5×5 grid. There’s a variety of delicious symbols on the grid, such as pineapples, cherries, grapes, and more. 

How To Play Fruit Blast 

This slot from Skillzzgaming is set on a 5×5 grid, and there are no fixed paylines. You don’t have to align symbols in a predetermined payline – instead, you have to select a combination of three or more similar symbols in block patterns. So, you don’t have to sit back and watch the reels spin, but you will have to actively play the game to create potential wins by selecting symbol combinations. 

To start the gameplay, you must select your bet by choosing within a range of 0.60 coins to 100 coins. Once the game starts, you can select the eligible combinations of fruits on the grid with the aim of collecting seven symbols of each fruit. This will reward you with the total bet prize that is visible on the left side of the screen. You can see that each fruit has a different return value, starting from 0.5x for cherries to 10x for pineapples. 

Fruit Blast has unique gameplay where a certain element of skill is required. Even though new appearing symbols on the reels are determined by a random number generator, you can potentially anticipate wins by thinking about how the grid will look after removing a particular combination. It shouldn’t take long to get a grasp of the game if you’re familiar with ‘match three symbols’ games. 

Fruit Blast Features 

As you play the game, you can collect stars, which can help in leveling up. Every time you unlock a new level, new achievements will be unlocked. Completing them will reward even more stars.

With higher levels, you will also unlock new bartender characters. Not only will it keep you interested by offering new aesthetics, but new bonus features are also introduced when three bonus symbols are collected from the grid. Some of these bonus features include an instant bonus win with Hawaiian Shake, Dance Nights, and more. There are eight interesting bartenders to unlock in the game for some exciting bonus features. No stars are awarded during the bonus games, and there won’t be any bonus or jackpot symbols on the grid. 

Hawaiian Shake is available on Level 1 with Aloha. In this, fruits are put in a blender, and a cash prize is awarded. 

Dance Nights at Level 2 will award you five free games with a guaranteed win in each one. Wins will be accumulated and added together at the end of the bonus round. 

Pick & Win with Koko at Level 3 will give you the option to flip six coins to reveal cash prizes until you get a ‘collect’ coin. 

Goth a Fruit at Level 4 with Cassandra as a bartender will give you the option to choose one of the five tiles on a grid. You will receive a cash prize and the process will be repeated until you reveal a ‘collect’ tile. As you go further, the prizes are bigger, and grids are more advanced. 

Happy Hour with Coach Max is available at Level 5, and you get a ‘shake on the house’ where one of the fruit meters will fill. 

Side Dish at Level 6 with Maitre D awards you a free game with a guaranteed win and a multiplier of 10x. 

Double Shake with Mary at Level 7 gives you the chance to flip one of the four coins to get a base cash prize. In the next turn, you get to flip two coins that can either double the base prize or reveal a ‘collect’ coin, which will end the round. If you get ‘double’, you get to flip again for a maximum of three turns. 

Pick & Win II at Level 8 with bartender Echo gives you 12 coins to flip. Each coin will reveal a cash prize until you get a coin with a multiplier. When that happens, all the prizes are added together and then multiplied by the multiplier, thereby ending the round. 

Fruit Blast Summary 

Fruit Blast is a fun game with unique and interesting gameplay. However, the graphics and animations will feel a bit outdated compared to modern slots and even iconic games such as Candy Crush Saga. It needs more pizzazz in terms of graphics, but the overall win potential is decent. 

Fruit Blast is a cluster match game set up on a 5×5 grid. It has a variable Return to Player (RTP) that ranges between 94.02% and 96.12%. The game offers multiple bonus levels and a win potential of up to 1,000x the bet.
