Big Fruit Show Slot by GameArt

The hook here is the Gigantic symbols: any symbol except the Scatter can land as one giant 3x4 block, and in the base game it can drop anywhere on the reels. It doesn't have to fill the whole block either. It can show up partially as a 3x3, 3x2 or even a single 3x1 strip, and any part of that oversized symbol sitting on a winning payline pays out normally. So a single Gigantic grape or watermelon stretched across three rows can feed several of the 40 lines at once, which is most of where the wins come from. The Wild plays into this too. It substitutes for everything but the Scatter, and it can show up Gigantic as well, covering a big chunk of the grid in one drop. There's no multiplier riding on it though, so a Wild's value is purely in how many lines it completes.

The fruits do the routine work. Glossy cherries, a halved orange, a wedged lemon, a purple plum, grapes and a watermelon slice as the lower end, with a green four-leaf clover, a gold bell and a fiery red 7 reading as the higher pays. The whole thing is loud in a deliberate way, a retro-disco fruit machine with a glossy purple reel surround sitting on a shimmering green LED-dot backdrop, golds and violets everywhere. The paytable itself is encrypted, so exact symbol values aren't on display, but the tiering is obvious from how the symbols read.

The purple-and-gold star Scatter only appears in the base game. Land 3 or more and you get a scatter win plus 5 free spins. The free spins change the board: reels 2, 3 and 4 merge and spin together as one big 3x3 Gigantic block every single spin, so the middle of the grid is permanently locked into a giant symbol for the whole round. With only 5 spins to work with it's a short, concentrated round that lives or dies on what that middle block lands as. If you'd rather not wait for three stars, you can buy the round directly, and the buy mode runs at a higher RTP than the base game does. Standard GameArt card Gamble sits over wins with the usual x2 or x4, no jackpots attached.
