Fruit Bat Crazy

We’ve got to admit that this slot doesn’t have the most intricate of backstories and all in all it is just silly and unapologetic fun in nice and saturated colors. We do have a fun fact for you though. Because if you thought that bats were more blood suckers and therefore carnivores, you might be surprised to learn that there’re indeed types of bats that feast on fruits instead of insects or small rodents.

In fact, they kind of act like bees, sucking the juices of plants and then spreading their seeds. There’re tons of those kinds of bats in the more tropic climates. So, this is also clearly the type of bat we’re dealing with in Fruit Bat Crazy because otherwise this would probably have been a darker slot.

As it is, you get some first-class nostalgia, with all the symbols you know from the early days of slot machines as well as some modern features liven things up.

As mentioned before, Fruit Bat Crazy is played on the standard 5×3 reels that you got used to in video slots. What is a little unusual is that you’re not playing on fixed or adjustable paylines and have 243 ways to win instead. That means that wins are paid out, whenever three or more of the same symbols land on adjacent reels starting from the far left one – and it doesn’t matter in which position.

Another difference is that the reels are not exactly spinning. Instead, the symbols are just cascading down from the top to the bottom and whenever there’s a win, the winning symbols dissolve and make way for other symbols to take their place. If there’s a new winning combination, the process is repeated and this continues until no new winning combinations appear.

There is also no real separation of low-paying and high-paying symbols in this slot. Instead you have 7 normal symbols with increasing value. The symbols are your typical fruit slot fare and you have a golden bell, cherries, oranges, water melons, plums, lucky number seven and pineapples in that order.

There’s obviously still more to this slot and if you want to learn more about the bonus features that are available, just read on below.

The bet range in Fruit Bat Crazy isn’t very wide and you can spin the reel with bets between $0.40 and $40. The maximum win clocks in at $47,850 and while that might not sound exciting at first sight, it is still more than 1,000x your maximum bet.

The most disappointing thing about this slot might be its abysmally low RTP of only 95.22%. That is a return to player well below the average and if you keep in mind that the volatility of Fruit Bat Crazy is also medium, leaning towards the high end of the scale, this slot comes out as one geared towards more experienced players.

This impression clashes a bit with the cutesy imagery, but do not let that fool you and keep in mind that you’ll need a decent bankroll and some tweaks to the bet amount now and then to make the most of this slot.
