Fruit Shop Christmas review
Fruit Shop Christmas takes NetEnt's fruit machine and dresses it in snow. The grid is five reels by three rows with 15 bet lines, released in December 2015. The rules we hold describe just two features: a doubling wild and a free spins round that doubles line wins and keeps extending itself. It is a short list, and the numbers fit it. Volatility is Medium, the RTP is 96.71% and the max win is 800x.
The wild and the free spins
A symbol showing the game logo on a yellow background can appear while the reels spin. This is the Wild, and it substitutes for any symbol. When it completes a winning line it pulsates, and every bet line win that involves the Wild is doubled.
Free Spins
The rules describe a win with any fruit symbol as the way in. During the round all bet line wins are doubled (x2), and wins that include Wilds are quadrupled (x4). Each bet line win also awards extra Free Spins according to the paytable, and the round keeps going as long as new line wins keep arriving.
How the round can run
The extension rule is what defines the bonus. Because every winning line can add spins, the length of the round is open-ended and depends on how often wins keep appearing. The studio does not publish the paytable values for those extra spins in the material we hold, so we cannot say how many a single win adds.
RTP, volatility and max win
The catalogue records one RTP, 96.71%, a house edge of 3.29%. That is about $32.90 lost per $1,000 wagered over a long run. In short sessions, 100 spins at $0.20 cost $0.66 on average, 100 spins at $1 cost $3.29, and 100 spins at $5, or $500 wagered, cost $16.45.
Volatility is Medium and the hit frequency is 27%. The max win is 800x the bet, which equals $160 at a $0.20 bet, $800 at $1 and $4,000 at $5. That ceiling is modest, and so is the swing it implies.
The original and similar slots
The catalogue lists the original Fruit Shop (2011) with exactly the same figures: a 96.71% RTP, Medium volatility and an 800x max win. The Christmas version therefore differs in presentation, but the catalogue shows no difference in the headline numbers.
Sweety Honey Fruity also shows 96.71% and 800x. Wings of Riches lists 96.63% and 800x, and The Legend of Shangri-La: Cluster Pays 96.59% and 800x. Arcane: Reel Chaos is at 96.81% with 774x, and Space Wars (2013) at 96.75% with 1,000x. All are rated Medium.
Pros
- A 96.71% RTP, a house edge of 3.29%
- Wilds double line wins, and wins with Wilds in free spins are quadrupled
- Free spins can be extended by further line wins
- A published 27% hit frequency
Cons
- An 800x max win is a low ceiling
- The number of extra spins per win is not given in our sources
Verdict
Fruit Shop Christmas is a simple festive fruit slot: 15 lines, a doubling wild and free spins that double line wins and extend themselves. The 96.71% RTP is a 3.29% house edge, volatility is Medium and the top prize is 800x. As paid entertainment it costs about $32.90 per $1,000 wagered on average, which makes it a modest, low-ceiling option for short sessions.
