It seems that every software provider out there has to do at least one throwback game to the days of the fruit machines, and Fruity Frost is the entry into this sub-genre of slots by Booongo. It's almost a rite of passage at this point to have a game of this style, and style is exactly what they have added to the situation with their own icy twist. They use extremely good graphics with a nice mix of features to make this game better than it really has any right to be.
A Simple Layout Formula
Certain layouts happen over and over in the video slot world because they are so solid, and the 20-payline option with five reels and three rows that this game uses is one of those. You can pick from no fewer than 16 different bet sizes ranging from $0.20 to $100 per spin with their simple betting options as well. All you have to do is pick the bet size you want, and the wager per line is listed right under it with no room for confusion.
Expanding Wild Respin Feature
One of the key features that drives play during the regular game gives you a shot at a respin. There are wild symbols that show up on the second and fourth reels in this game, and while they can help you to get extra wins, they don't have their own payouts for winning combinations. Instead, if you get one on the second and fourth reels at the same time, they will both expand to cover the entire reel. After any payouts are awarded, you will get a free respin with both of these reels held completely wild as well.
The significance of the respin feature in the Fruity Frost slot is that you only need to get three symbols to match to make a five-of-a-kind win thanks to the wilds. This adds a whole lot of value to the game for that one spin, which is great for your bottom line.
Scatter Symbols
The scattered orange slice symbol appears on all reels. You can get a win worth 5x your total bet, which is like a 100x line bet payout, for three or more. You can also get a set of 15 free spins at a minimum with a chance for up to 21 total. If a scatter gets covered by an expanding wild, it counts for the following re-spin as well, which gives you a better chance of getting the free spins feature and scatter payouts on the subsequent re-spin.
Bonus Feature
A set of three different fruits is the bonus symbol, and it takes you to a special 3x3 bonus feature where random fruit will appear on a new set of reels like a classic slot. There are eight ways to win in this game with three vertical lines, three horizontal lines and two diagonal lines, and you'll get extra wins for lining up three of a kind during this feature. Get three or more of the bonus symbol on the reels to trigger this classic slot-style bonus feature, which makes a lot of sense considering fruit machines are a major part of the theme of the game itself.
Top Fruit Payouts
Aside from all of those ways to win, there are eight regular fruit symbols on the reels. They all pay for three or more on a payline from left to right only. The watermelon is the top symbol, and five gets you a 1,500x jackpot win. This is a pretty sizable payout that makes the game just a little top-heavy considering the next-highest win is half of that for five of the bunch of grapes for 750x. You can also pick up 500x for five of the apple or 200x for five of the lemon symbol, both of which are common in older three-reel games in this genre.
Lower Level Wins
To give balance to the pay table, there are also four low-level fruits. Five of the pear gets you 100x, and you can score 75x for five of the banana symbol. You'll get 30x for five of the strawberries, and five of the cherries earns 20x.
Our Thoughts
If we're being completely honest, we don't really know why most software developers bother with making these types of "throwback" slots to the three-reel fruit machine days because they usually end up looking mediocre with boring gameplay. Booongo managed to somehow miss most of that with Fruity Frost, which is pretty impressive in and of itself. They put together a good mix of features to drive the action, and they've used a mostly balanced pay table with some higher pays at the top end to bring the volatility up to a medium level to make things more exciting. We have to commend the effort, especially with how great they made the fruit graphics look.
