Frozen Fruits Slots
Fruit themed slots are hardly a scarce commodity, and yet players just can’t seem to get enough of them. It’s hard to tell who drives the slew of fruity slots that are released each year: players or developers. Whatever the case, new titles keep appearing on the market, with every possible fruity permutation covered. Frozen Fruits can be added to that long list.
Developed by Derbyshire based software firm Games Warehouse, Frozen Fruits is a 5-reel slot with 30 paylines and a line bet ranging between 0.01 and 2 whose theme is all about long hot summer days. Specifically, the sort of long hot summer days in which the only way to cool down is by treating yourself to a slushie, a smoothie or any other kind of fruit-based drink whose second primary ingredient is ice.
Fruit Force
The game takes place within a van, the sort of mobile van that might do the rounds, bringing fresh fruit and veg – or fresh frozen fruit in this case – to the sort of households that are too remote to have a corner shop or supermarket close by. Believe it or not, fruit and veg vans – and butcher vans – used to be a common sight in Britain, but nowadays most people who live in the middle of nowhere simply order their shopping online and have it delivered.
Frozen Fruits then harks back to a simpler time, one when the sight of a gaily painted van with its tinkling music would send children scurrying into the yard in the hope of sweets and mum searching for her purse to pick up some essentials for dinner. In the case of Frozen Fruits, those essentials are the sort of fruit that you’ve seen 1,000 times before. In fact, there’s a case for saying that the average slots player has seen more cherries, melons and lemons on-screen than they have in real life.
Ice Ice Baby
The company behind this simple slot, Games Warehouse, are better known for the range of Skill With Prize games that they’ve developed. These can – or at least could – be found at many pubs in England and Wales. Although Frozen Fruits isn’t their first foray into video slots, it would be fair to say they’re not a household name, with only the keenest of players likely to have heard their name in this context.
In terms of gameplay, Frozen Fruits is about as simple as it gets; 3, 4 and 5 of a kind wins are how your money will be made, but there are wilds and scatters too to help you in this endeavour. Instead of spinning, the symbols drop, exploding across the icy background they’re framed against. To the right of the reels, an eskimo looks on eagerly, waiting for the ice to melt so he can get to his precious fruit.
Pistoleras Offers Similar Volatility
Three scatters in view will be enough to secure you between 5 and 10 free spins, though there’s no multiplier to accompany them. If you’d like to play something similar to Frozen Fruits, which has an RTP of between 94.5% and 95.5% and is rated as medium to high volatility, you could try something like Pistoleras by Microgaming. This slot features 25 paylines and awards up to 15 free spins.
Another slot whose characteristics aren’t too far removed from Frozen Fruits is Vegas Nights. It’s an IGT slot with 20 paylines, an RTP of 94.4% and up to 20 free spins to be claimed. Mobilots are another developer who’ve released a game in this style, with both Legends of the Sea and Slotty Vegas working in the same way, based on 30 paylines. The former only dispenses 3 free spins however whereas Slotty Vegas will award between 5 and 20.
More Fruity Adventure
There isn’t much to Frozen Fruits to make this slot stand out from the glut of other fruit-based slots that are on the market. That being said, the graphics are smart enough and the animations, every time the symbols drop, are well executed. That’s probably not enough to give you cause to go out of your way to track down this Games Warehouse slot.
If you stumble across it while scouring online casinos for a fresh challenge however, Frozen Fruits should prove up to the task of entertaining and possibly enriching you for half an hour at most, after which you’ll have had your fill of Frozen Fruits and will be ready for a new challenge.
