Wild Fruit Jam Slot Review

Do you know what the difference is between jam and marmalade? You can’t marmalade your man meat up someone’s… Wow, I went there. Sorry about that.

But I had to start things off with a bang, coz what else was I going to talk about – weird jam combinations? (There’s carrot and almond, which is messed up) I mean, that’s not going to be an intro that’ll set the hook. 🥕

It turns out I have nothing else. It’s a Friday afternoon and I’m all tapped out so let’s just get into Wild Fruit Jam slot from Belatra Games, shall we?

Gameplay

When I read the title of Belatra’s latest, I had visions of scantily clad jars of fruit getting down to some sick beats. I know, I have issues but come on – Wild Fruit Jam!

So, there are no nightclubs, DJs, or anything like that to be seen here. Instead, the 5x4-reel grid seems to be floating in front of a farmhouse and a verdant field. Or at least, that’s what it looks like to me.

As you’d expect, the symbols on the reels are fruit – watermelons, oranges, grapes, plums, cherries – and also 7s, bars, bells, and stars. The latter two are Scatters, by the way.

Wild Fruit Jam slot rocks up to 100 paylines (you can choose between 25, 50, or 100), an RTP of 96.09%, a medium volatility rate, but a super generous max win of €225,000. And all currencies are available for play.

The jam in question is the Wild and it can appear as a 1x1-sized symbol or fill an entire reel. Naturally, Wilds substitute for all symbols besides the Scatters.

Wilds can carry multiplier values of 2x, 3x, or 5x and you can have multiple Wilds – with their multipliers – landing on a single payline. In that case, the multipliers are added up and applied to the win.

Features

JACKPOT WHEEL OF FORTUNE:

You’ll need to collect 1,000 Jackpot points to gain entry into the Jackpot Wheel of Fortune round. Points are collected when you play normally at any bet level and you’ll see the tally in the meter at the top left of the grid. Just hover your mouse over the meter symbol for more details.

When you trigger the round, 1,000 points will be deducted from your tally and whatever is left over will be carried across to the next round.

You’ll notice that there are 2 Jackpot Wheels. You’ll start off on the smaller one with the aim of hitting the arrow so that you can upgrade to the larger Wheel. On the latter, you should aim for the green segment, which will award you the Jackpot prize.

If you don’t score the Jackpot, you can still scoop up some Jackpot points and have another go later. The Double JP doubles up your point accumulation for 30 minutes, and the Triple JP segment obviously triples your points for the same amount of time.

If you wanna get to the Jackpot round fast, you’ll need to spend a bit of cash as the higher the bet, the more JP points are earned.

The Jackpot prize is seeded by deducting 0.50% of each bet you make, and by doing so, it increases the game’s RTP by 0.5%.

Performance

I played a gazillion rounds (OK, that might be an exaggeration) across all my devices, and I also tried using various browsers. Nothing seemed to unsettle Wild Fruit Jam slot.

Maximum Win

You can win up to €225,000 on this game if you snag the 7,500x max multiplier while betting €30. You could also bet from as little as €1 if you prefer.

Conclusion

I’m not sold on this concept. I found that I was spending a lot of time and money to gather JP points only to spin the Wheel and get like 10 points or double points as my reward.

Now, of course, that’s why they call it gambling but because there are no other features, you’re reliant on making money in the base game by landing on paylines and hitting some Scatters or expanding Wilds.

It seemed to me that there was way more going out than coming in. Look, the stats are good and the game looks great but just be aware that chasing those Jackpot Wheels will require an investment on your part.
