Fruitoids Slots

The name of this slot itself was certainly intriguing in its own right. Yggdrasil Gaming is one of those brands that doesn't get as much attention as NetEnt or RealTime Gaming, but seems to garner just as much praise thanks to their innovative game choices. After all, what does Fruitoid mean? It's definitely not a word you'd find in the dictionary. This game is played on five reels, and features twenty five total pay lines. Along with this classic format, the game has respins and special multipliers!

This game is compatible with Windows and Mac, and you can play this game on the go via your smartphone or tablet. The slot's pay lines are fixed, and to land wins you need to trigger a winning combination from the left to the right.

Fruit Filled Fun

There's no doubt that the slot industry has a long history with fruit, and for some reason it's iconic in the slot world. Fruit symbols have been around since the origins of the game itself. Fruitoids however has put a fun, futuristic twist on a classic fruit theme. This highly experienced software developer does a great job with 3D graphics, and atmospheric soundtracks.

Every symbol on this board is a space fruit. Don't expect to see apples, bananas or oranges. These are the sort of fruits you'd find growing on a foreign planet, and they may or may not be poisonous to humans. Something about the artwork is creepy, and it has a life of its own. I feel like the creators of this slot might have taken some inspiration from the Alien franchise to create this slot.

Symbols

The furry green fruits are the top paying symbols, followed by the almost octopus looking blue and red fruit. The jellyfish looking berry fruit is the third highest paying symbol and the more normal looking berry is the fourth highest paying symbol. Lastly the pouch looking fruit and the hairy red and blue fruits pay out the least. There's also the purple fruit that almost reminds me of cabbage, which is a special symbol and pays out more than every other symbol.

Special Features

This game is more than just a bizarre interface and creative artwork, lucky for us! Though, I was nearly so impressed with the artwork I almost would have overlooked any lackluster features. Fruitoids loves to award bonuses. This game has respins and column multipliers. Whenever you land a winning combination on these reels, the combination is frozen while the other reels around them respin. The respin will allow you to land more winning combinations the way. You can land additional respins if you continue triggering matches every time a respin occurs. If you're lucky enough and fill all of the reels with the same symbol, you'll be awarded a gigantic payout. If you land wins on consecutive columns from the left to the right, your wins will be multiplied by the column multipliers. The multiplier equals the number of columns you fill, so your win will be multiplied by 2 to 5x your bet.
