Fruit bats are also known as ‘flying foxes’ and the biggest variety has a wingspan the same length as a giraffe’s leg. That’s pretty terrifying if you’re not expecting to see one. Happily they only eat fruit as the name suggests, and the version we’re playing with in Fruit Bat Crazy is a cute cartoon version rather than anything longer than your arm, so there’s no reason to scream and jump on the chair like a 1950s housewife here – eek!

Bat Out of Hell

Fruit Bat Crazy is a 5-reel slot from Betsoft that features all the classic fruit slot symbols – cherries, oranges, and plums to name but a few – along with the bell, the lucky 7, and our little fruit bat friend. To get started with Fruit Bat Crazy, toggle your bet at the bottom of the grid between $0.40 and $40. This bet is already your total stake. The slot has 243 win lines, but it is essentially charging for only 40 paylines.

Winning requires landing at least three symbols on consecutive reels, beginning from reel one. All prizes in the table are shown in your relevant currency, so they will increase and decrease as you adjust your bet size.

A symbol to keep an eye out for is the pineapple, as it has the highest prize of $300. This will be yours if you land five of it on at least three adjacent reels, and only if you wagered the maximum amount at $40 per spin, so it pays to go big.

Go Bananas for the Extras

Fruit Bat Crazy features several ways to beef up your winning chances. These are:

• Wild – Represented by a diamond. It substitutes for all symbols to make a winning line, except the fruit bat and the bonus buy coin.
• Scatter – The Scatter is the bat symbol. Landing three of it anywhere on the grid will trigger free spins.
• Buy Free Spins – You can buy Free Spins if you don’t want to wait for them. The cost will decrease as you land more buy bonus coins. The bet used for free games is the same as what triggered it.
• Double Up – A simple coin toss is enough for you to potentially double your win… or lose the lot.
• Liquid Cascades – whenever you land a winning combo, the symbols will disappear and will be replaced with new ones. It is always the low-prize symbols that will be paid first, after which they blow up and are replaced with new symbols.
