Fruitfellas: Fortune Wheel Slot Review
Henry Hill was the mafia associate turned FBI informant and the main protagonist in Martin Scorcese’s award-winning mobster film, GoodFellas. 🇮🇹🍕
He collaborated with crime journalist Nicholas Pileggi and the duo produced a book called Wiseguy, which is what the movie was based on. Hill was paid around $550,000 for the film but for a guy who used to pull $15,000 to $40,000 a week, that was chump change. 💵
You see, if there’s anything we outsiders understand about the mob it’s that they know how to make money. So how much more lucrative will things get when a bunch of fruit is running the show? There’s only one way to find out. 🍒🍇🍉
This is Fruitfellas: Fortune Wheel slot from Gamebeat. 🎰
Gameplay
What a brilliant theme and play on words Gamebeat has come up with! Another surprising thing is the setting for this game – it’s an old-school cinema, complete with those heavy, red curtains and we’re about to watch the greatest mobster movie ever made.
On the big screen are the black-and-white characters, but you’ll see symbols – such as the Scatter – land in color which makes them stand out.
And how incredibly well have the characters been imagined and rendered? Look at that Marlon Brando pineapple; it’s simply incredible.
The high-paying symbols are the mob fruit, while a Tommy gun, crate of hooch, and a bundle of newspapers are the low-paying ones.
Let’s check out the stats real quick so we can get to the action.
- Paylines: 20
- RTP: 96.39%
- Max Multiplier: 5,000x
- Max Win: €200,000
- Volatility Rate: Medium/high
- Currency Limitations: No Etherium
Features
WHEEL OF FORTUNE:
This mechanic shows a range of multiplier values and it pops off randomly during normal gameplay. You’ll see the wheel spinning and whichever value it lands on is the multiplier that your winnings will be increased by.
FREE SPINS:
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters gets you into this round with 10, 15, or 20 spins respectively. The Wheel of Fortune is now active for each spin and it has increased multiplier values.
GAMBLE FEATURE:
Any time you score a win, you’ll be able to use the Gamble feature (you’ll see the GAMBLE and COLLECT icons below the SPIN button).
At the start, you’ll see 3 options with increasing multiplier values. However, you’ll also need to take more significant risks to score the big money.
The format isn’t like most Gamble features which use a face-down card that you have to guess the color or suit for. This one is a Russian Roulette style, so you’ll see 3 gun cylinders with 3, 2, or 1 empty chamber.
The goal, of course, is not to land on a bullet when the cylinder stops spinning.
BONUS BUY:
Hit the fire icon to the bottom left of the screen and you’ll see the 3 Buy Bonus options:
- Get 10 spins for 50x
- Get 15 spins for 75x
- Get 20 spins for 100x
And let me just say that these fees – versus how many spins you get – are really good compared with most other games.
Performance
Fruitfellas: Fortune Wheel slot performed precisely as you’d expect; probably because it was scared of wearing concrete boots if it failed! I tested the game for hundreds of spins and didn’t encounter a single error, glitch, or problem.
Maximum Win
If there’s one thing the mob knows how to do, it’s making tons of money. And in Fruitfellas: Fortune Wheel slot, you can score €200,000 from a 5,000x multiplier at a max bet of €40. And bear in mind, this is from a medium to high volatility game. That’s amazeballs!
Conclusion
I loved playing Fruitfellas: Fortune Wheel slot. It’s not often you see games with this kinda theme and the studio has done a superb job of creating an environment that invites you in and makes you want to spend lots of time.
You also can’t fault the stats the game is built on and playing on your phone is a definite option as it looks great on a small screen.
The Buy Bonuses are also cost-effective if you compare this to what’s on offer with most other games. And, as an example, I bought 20 spins and was awarded 10 extra spins for landing 3 additional Scatters. So, paying 100x for 30 spins is nothing to sneeze at.
The addition of the Gamble feature suits the theme of the game perfectly, so having that feature plus Free Spins and a Buy Bonus is right on the money.
Yep, this is a glorious game and the best thing about it is that it over-delivers when it comes to the volatility rate versus the max win. Great job, Gamebeat.
