Fruit Shop Grand Re-Opening Slot Review

About the Game

Fruit Shop Grand Re-Opening is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot from NetEnt featuring Re-Spins, Free Spins, a Flavor Meter, Sticky Wilds, Jumper Wilds, and the Elevate feature. The base game utilizes 13 fixed paylines, while the number of paylines can increase to 34 during Free Spins. Line wins are awarded for consecutive symbol combinations starting from the leftmost reel. Wins across different lines are added together, though only the highest-paying combination per line is paid out. Line win amounts are calculated by multiplying the value shown in the paytable by the applicable multipliers. Paytable values ​​are dynamic and adjust based on the selected bet.

Game Rules

Re-Spins

During the base game and respins, any winning combination containing fruit symbols triggers respins in accordance with the paytable.

Wild

Wild symbols can land in any position on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 during the base game, Re-Spins, and bonus spins.

Wild symbols substitute for all other symbols, except for Fruit Bonus, Sticky Wild, and Jumper Wild symbols. When a Wild symbol substitutes on a payline, the highest possible winning combination is formed.

Bonus Spins

In the base game and during Re-Spins, landing 3, 4, or 5 Fruit Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels triggers one of three bonus spin modes and expands the game grid.

• 3 Fruit Bonus symbols award 5 spins in Backyard Spins mode on a 5×3 grid (5 reels, 3 rows).
• 4 Fruit Bonus symbols award 8 spins in Garden Spins mode on a 5×4 grid (5 reels, 4 rows).
• 5 Fruit Bonus symbols award 10 spins in Orchard Spins mode on a 5×5 grid (5 reels, 5 rows).

If the Bonus Spins feature is triggered during Re-Spins, it starts immediately, and the remaining Re-Spins are converted into additional Bonus Spins.

During Bonus Spins, landing 3 Fruit Bonus symbols awards 3 additional Bonus Spins.

If both Bonus Spins and Re-Spins are awarded on a single spin, the Bonus Spins feature activates immediately. The remaining Re-Spins are converted into additional Bonus Spins and steps on the Flavor Meter.

During the bonus spins, any winning combination involving fruit symbols awards additional bonus spins.

Flavor Meter

The Flavor Meter is displayed at the bottom of the game area in all game modes but activates only during Re-Spins and Bonus Spins. The Flavor Meter is divided into 36 segments; it can continue to fill up until the maximum win is reached. Once the Re-Spins and Bonus Spins conclude, the Flavor Meter resets to its initial position. The Flavor Meter tracks winning combinations and advances by a specific number of segments with each win.

Multiplier

The flavor meter starts at step 1 and offers different multipliers every four steps (4, 8, 12, etc.).

• In Respins mode, the multiplier values ​​are x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x8, x10, x12, and x14.
• In Bonus Spins, the multiplier values ​​are x4, x6, x10, x15, x18, x25, x30, x50, and x75.

Reaching a new multiplier on the meter awards 1 additional bonus spin. Once the maximum multiplier on the flavor meter is reached during Bonus Spins, any subsequent multiplier increases by x2 in “Backyard” spins, x3 in “Garden” spins, and x5 in “Orchard” spins.

Bonuses

During the bonus spins mode, the Flavor Meter offers various bonuses—Extra Row, Sticky Wild, Mystery Drop, Activated Fruit, and Upgrade—which are randomly selected and placed on the meter.
The Flavor Meter contains between 6 and 15 bonuses.

	Extra Row	Adds one extra row to the bottom of the game grid until the bonus spins conclude. An extra row can be awarded up to 3 times in Backyard Spins, twice in Garden Spins, and only once in Orchard Spins.
	Sticky Wild	The Sticky Wild symbol lands in a random position not already occupied by another symbol. Sticky Wild symbols remain in place until the bonus spins end. They can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
	Mystery Drop	Awards a random cash prize with a multiplier of x4, x6, x8, x10, x12, x15, x20, x30, or x40. Cash prizes are multiplied by the corresponding multipliers.
	Activated Fruit	Activates a 2x multiplier for winning combinations involving a specific fruit symbol. This feature can be used only once for each type of fruit; it stacks with other applicable multipliers.
	Upgrade	Upgrades low-win symbol “10” into high-win symbol “Cherry”. Obtainable only once.

Jumper Wild

During bonus spins, the Jumper Wild symbol can appear anywhere on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 with a value of 5, 7, 10, or 15 jumps. The Jumper Wild symbol can appear only once per spin.

When a winning combination includes a Jumper Wild symbol, the Flavor Meter advances by a number of steps equal to the Jumper Wild symbol’s jump value.

Jumper Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Fruit Bonus and Sticky Wild symbols.

During respins and bonus spins, any bonuses and multipliers obtained apply to the next spin, with the exception of Jumper Wild and Mystery Drop symbols, which are accounted for in the current spin.

Bonus spins are played at the same bet level as the round that triggered them.

At the end of the bonus spins, the total winnings from the bonus spins are added to any winnings from the triggering round, and the game returns to the triggering round.
