Big Fruit Show

Big Fruit Show Overview

Big Fruit Show is a classic fruit slot from GameArt, released on 13 February 2024. It plays on a 5x4 grid with 40 fixed paylines, and the game's own configuration gives a 96.34% RTP and a maximum win of 1,827x the bet. SlotCatalog rates the volatility as medium and lists stakes from 0.40 to 100. The RTP comes in more than one version, so the value at a given casino can differ.

The title says it all: this is a fruit machine, but a big one. The reels sit on a purple background against a green, glittering stage, and the gold BIG FRUIT SHOW logo hangs above them like a marquee.

The Symbols

The symbol set is pure fruit-machine tradition:

• the red 7 on a gold tile, the top symbol of the game,
• a gold-and-red star, which is the scatter,
• grapes, a watermelon and a green four-leaf clover,
• cherries, plums, oranges and lemons.

Winning symbols light up in coloured frames – blue for the watermelons, green for the clovers, purple for the grapes – so it is easy to see which lines have paid.

The Big Symbols

The feature that gives the game its name is the mega symbol. A fruit can land as a giant 3x3 block, covering three reels and three rows at once, and SlotCatalog lists "Mega Symbol (3x3)" among the features. In our screenshots a huge pair of cherries hangs across the middle of the grid, partly cut off at the top, and the spin paid $96.00 at a $12.00 bet – 8x the stake – together with a column of watermelons and clovers on the last reel.

Because one mega symbol fills nine positions, it can connect a large number of the 40 lines in a single spin. That is where most of the game's bigger base-game wins come from.

What Our Spins Showed

At a $12.00 bet, a spin with a row of plums on the first two reels, a gold 7 and a column of watermelons paid $16.80 (1.4x). Another spin with two stacked 7s on the third reel and grapes around them paid $24.60 (2.05x). The wins are not huge, but they came regularly, which matches the medium volatility rating.

Free Spins

The scatter stars trigger the free spins. In our round the trigger paid $18.00 at a $6.00 bet – 3x the stake – and the game announced "Congratulations, you won 5 Free Spins!". SlotCatalog also lists additional free spins, so more stars during the round can extend it.

Five spins sounds short, but they can be productive. By the fourth spin of five, a stack of plums, a 7 and a column of bells produced a Nice Win of $120.00 – 20x the $6.00 bet – and the win meter for the round stood at $168.00, or 28x.

Buy Bonus

The BONUS button on the left of the reels opens the Buy Bonus panel. At a $6.00 bet, the free spins cost $300.00, which is 50x the stake. The price scales with the bet, which you can change directly in the panel.

Our round, which came from the base game rather than a purchase, reached 28x with a spin still to play – more than half of the buy price.

The Gamble Feature

After a win, the card button next to the spin button opens a double-up game. At a current win of $24.60, the screen offered:

• Color pays x2 – pick red or black for $49.20,
• Suit pays x4 – pick hearts, diamonds, spades or clubs for $98.40.

The game allows up to 5 gambles in a row, and the Collect button takes the win at any point.

Bets and Controls

The control bar is minimal. The bet sits on the left with plus and minus buttons, the current win in the middle and the balance on the right. The screenshots show the game at $6.00 and $12.00 per spin; with 40 lines, that works out to 15 and 30 cents a line. Next to the spin button there is a quick-spin toggle, and the card icon for the gamble appears only after a win. A line of text under the reels explains what is happening: "Free spins – press start", "Gamble to multiply your win!" or "You have 5 gambles remaining".

Graphics and Presentation

GameArt kept the look deliberately simple. The fruit symbols are glossy and slightly cartoonish, the 7 sits on an orange tile, and the star is gold with a red centre. The background shifts from green to a deep red stage during the free spins, and big wins arrive with a burst of light behind a gold "Nice Win" banner. The mega symbols are the only oversized element, which makes them stand out immediately when they land.

Where the 1,827x Comes From

A maximum of 1,827x is modest for a 40-line game, and it fits the medium volatility. The biggest results need the mega symbols to land in the right places, ideally during the free spins. Most of the time the game pays in the 1x–30x range we saw.

Who It Is For

Big Fruit Show is for players who like a traditional fruit machine but want more happening on the reels. The mega symbols add a lot of movement, the free spins are short but can pay well, and the gamble feature gives the option to double up. With a 96.34% RTP and a modest ceiling, it is a steady, readable game rather than a high-risk one. All six casinos we checked carry it.
