New slot release:
In Ripe Rewards, players have the opportunity to experience the classic slot gameplay. This classic retro fruit-themed slot invites them to experience a fruity adventure and relax while playing. Additionally, the main focus here is on the variety of different colored fruits, which gives the game a fresh look.
To make a winning combination, players must form a combination of at least 3 matching symbols from left to right on adjacent columns beginning from the reel located furthest to the left. Additionally, this 5×5 title has high volatility, three RTPs, with the default being 96.02%, and a maximum win of 10,000x a player’s wager.
In terms of features, there are Wild Symbols and their Multipliers of x2, x3 and x5. Those Multipliers are applied to each of the winning combinations that include Wilds. However, if over 1 Wild is displayed, their Multipliers accumulate.
Next, there is the Free Spins bonus round, which is activated when players land a combination of at least 3 Scatters. However, Scatters only land on reels 1, 3 and 5. There’s also a progressive feature within this round, where each Scatter that lands during the Free Spins gets accumulated by a meter.
There is also Ante Bet, which gives players the option to increase their wager multiplier from 20x to 30x. If players decide to activate it, their chances of activating the aforementioned bonus round are doubled.
This feature is followed by the Bonus Buy, where those who wish to activate the Free Spins bonus round immediately can do so, for 100x of their current wager.
