Slot Details

Fruit Party 2 is a cascading cluster pays video slot played on a 7×7 grid. Wins are paid for clusters of five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. You can get your five-a-day from 0.20 credits to 100 credits per spin and this game has a maximum 5/5 volatility rating with a default RTP of 96.53%. Pragmatic Play offers customisable RTP’s for their slots and Fruit Party 2 will also come in versions with 95.45% and 94.46% RTP and possibly lower. Fruit Party 2 also comes with a Bonus Buy of 100x your stake for standard entry into the free spins bonus (restricted in some jurisdictions).

Fruit Party 2 keeps the fluffy cartoon graphs with a slight change in the background from the first, swapping the quirky Apple House for a more generic Farm House landscape. The music has changed also but keeps the catchy and upbeat steel drums for the party. Winter draws in for the free spins like the original, with the house bellowing smoke from its chimney and the fields covered in snow.

In increasing order of value, the pay symbols begin with Hearts, Stars and Plums, which pay up to 60x your stake for clusters of 15 or more matching symbols. Grapes and Apples award up to 90x your stake for clusters of 15+ matching symbols and Oranges and Strawberries will pay up to 150x your stake for 15+ matching symbols in a cluster. A Golden Fruit symbol represents the scatters that award the free spins bonus for landing three or more; landing 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 scatters will award x3, x5, x10, x20 and 100x your stake, respectively. A multi-coloured ‘W’ acts as the wild symbol, which substitutes for all symbols except the scatters.

Fruit Party 2 Slot Features

Fruit Party 2 is the follow-up to the hugely popular Fruit Party released in 2020 by Pragmatic Play. Fruit Party itself has an army of fans who will expectedly take Fruit Party 2 for a spin upon release so let’s see what surprises the new version has in store for players.

A basic spin of Fruit Party 2 use the same cluster pays and tumbling symbol mechanic as the original. Clusters are formed from five or more matching symbols, connecting either horizontally or vertically. Wins are calculated and paid before removing the winning clusters from the play area. This provides room for the remaining symbols to drop to the grid base while new symbols tumble down into vacant positions.

When clusters pop and disappear from the grid, they can leave behind a Random Wild Multiplier symbol in a vacant symbol position. Each random wild begins with an x2 multiplier. If that Wild becomes part of a winning cluster, it will double the win and be removed along with winning symbols. The Wild can then re-appear with double the multiplying value of the last. Reoccuring wilds will double progressively for each re-appearance from x4 to x8, then x16, x32, x64, x128 and lastly an x256 multiplier. Should more than one Multiplying Wild feature in a win, the sum of the multipliers is applied to the winning cluster value. Wilds can feature in more than one winning cluster with the same effect.

Landing three or more scatters will trigger a round of Fruit Party 2 Free Spins. More scatters landing will award extra spins and 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 scatters will award 10, 12, 15, 20 and 25 spins, respectively. The Random Wild Multiplier is still in effect during the bonus but with an increased starting multiplier of x3. This, again, increases with each re-appearance to x9, x27, x81, x243, and up to a staggering x729 multiplier. Landing three additional scatters during the round will award five extra spins on an unlimited basis. Special reel sets are used for the Fruit Party 2 free spins bonus.

Final Verdict

The original Fruit Party is still a hugely popular slot, so a follow-up comes as no surprise. The name itself should attract, although the game presents little change to the first. Fruit Party 2 is more volatile with a bigger multiplier wild range up to x729 in the free spins, but the win potential remains the same, there are no new features and visually, it’s very similar. All in all, a lacklustre effort from Pragmatic Play. Fruit Party 2 is a cheap release chucked on the coattails of the original.
