FRUTZ Review
The Pocketz Series from Hacksaw is a range of minimalist games,
tailor-suited with the mobile experience in mind. Miami 💶 Multiplier is a good example,
as Frutz is clearly a follow-up to this even more basic installment. This game would
💶 have a strong zen vibe if it weren’t for the rather unfitting soundtrack. It can
luckily be turned off separately 💶 from the otherwise pleasant sound effects,
however.
The layers of different color papercut visuals make this a unique experience,
and even 💶 the kirigami-style symbols are made of paper. There is nothing flimsy about
the math model however, and you can look 💶 forward to a high risk/reward experience with
a solid 10,000x potential. The RTP is above average too, and the base 💶 game is mostly a
grind until you hit the bonus round with unlimited incremental multiplier action.

Frutz 💶 slot Features
The wild symbol steps in for all regular pay
symbols, and it will thus help you form winning clusters. 💶 Speaking of, 11+ matching
premium fruit symbols are worth between 50x and 100x, while the low-value royals are
all worth 💶 20x your stake for 11+ matching in a cluster.
The Cascading Wins feature
removes all winning symbols from the grid, and 💶 new symbols will then drop from above to
fill the gaps. The cascading feature goes on as long as you 💶 keep winning, offering
potentially “unlimited” repeat wins per paid spin.
If you land a mystery multiplier
symbol during base game play, 💶 at the same time that a winning cascade is in the escrow,
a random multiplier will be revealed. The multiplier 💶 counter is on display in the game
logo above the reels, and more specifically within the hollowed-out letter “U”. It 💶 will
boost the following cascading wins, if you get any.
If you land more mystery multiplier
symbols than one, or more 💶 in another cascading spin in the same sequence, the
respective multiplier values are added together in the counter above the 💶 reels. The
multiplier is reset at the start of each base game spin. There are 3 different mystery
multiplier symbols, 💶 and they are as follows:
Light blue - award multiplier values
between x1 and x5 .
- award multiplier values . Dark 💶 blue - award multiplier values
between x10 and x20 .
- award multiplier values . Striped - award multiplier values
between 💶 x25 and x100.
The Bonus Round is triggered when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters
anywhere in sight, and this 💶 awards 8, 10 or 12 free spins, respectively. All mystery
multiplier symbols are revealed in the bonus round whenever they 💶 land, and their
respective values are added to the counter. The multiplier counter never resets for the
duration of the 💶 feature, and you can expect to trigger the free spins around every 210
spins on average.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you 💶 can buy the bonus round directly
in this game. This feature is not available for UK players however, and it 💶 will set you
back 93x, 142x or 200x your stake for 8 (96.79 % RTP), 10 (96.37 % RTP) or 💶 12 (96.63 %
RTP) free spins, respectively.
The 200 Spins Frutz slot Experience
You can see the base
game play out until 💶 0:41 into the 3-minute highlights video. We caved at that point,
and purchased the 12 free spins bonus round. We 💶 managed to rack up a 67x multiplier in
the end, and you can see how much we won in total 💶 by hitting the play button.
Review
Summary
The papercut artsy visuals make this game stick out from the get-go, but a more
💶 relaxed soundtrack would probably have been a better match. Outside of that, Frutz is a
refreshingly simple grid slot, free 💶 from all the fireworks and bells and whistles you
usually get. There’s no meters to charge here, and no overload 💶 of modifiers being
paraded in all sorts of colorful ways.
Instead, you get a simple cluster pays cascading
wins base game, 💶 where the occasional mystery multiplier sequence awards payouts large
enough to keep you afloat. Most of the excitement is contained 💶 in the bonus round,
where the multiplier keeps building to unknown heights, and payouts up to 10,000x your
stake can 💶 be landed. The highest multiplier we achieved during testing was 157x, and
it’s a thrill to see relatively small clusters 💶 suddenly award massive payouts.

If you love Frutz slot you should also try:
Miami Multiplier - can be 💶 seen
as a predecessor to the game at hand. It’s a neon-style fruit slot from Hacksaw, where
a multiplier symbol 💶 adds +1 to the counter. The multiplier counter doesn’t reset in the
bonus round, and it can go as high 💶 as 60x. This can lead to payouts up to 5,000x your
stake at the most.
Forest Fortune - is a similar 💶 idyllic “zen” slot from Hacksaw, and
the innovative wild wind feature will clone wild symbols in whatever direction the wind
💶 is blowing. You can look forward to a Hold & Win bonus round with 4 special symbols,
and payouts up 💶 to 10,000x your stake can be landed.
Aztec Twist - is another simple
slot from Hacksaw that is well worth trying 💶 if you like the game at hand. It comes with
a 5x8 cluster pays grid, and full rows of matching 💶 symbols trigger multiplier respins.
The bonus round comes with golden mask symbols that trigger upgradable multipliers for
payouts up to 💶 4,000x.
