Evoplay rolled out Ultra Reels Fruteria earlier this year, and the studio leaned into the visual contradiction hard. Golden coins scatter across a fiery red backdrop, lava bubbles along the bottom edge, classic fruit symbols sit rendered in glossy oversized detail - lemons, cherries, grapes, plums, triple BAR icons stacked on three reels. The jackpot panel sits permanently on the left, four tiers glowing in gold. It looks like a traditional fruit machine until the coins start doing their thing.
The central mechanic splits special symbols across the reels in a specific way, and that positional split is what separates this game from the usual fruit-machine throwback. Bonus Coins land exclusively on reels 1 and 3, each carrying a random value between 1x and 8x or one of the four jackpot labels. Reel 2 gets Bonus Collectors instead - symbols with no value of their own. When a Collector and at least one Coin appear together on any spin, the Collector absorbs every visible Coin value and pays the combined total.
This works during normal play, not just in the bonus round, which is unusual for a Hold & Win setup. Most slots in this category gate the Coin Collect mechanic behind the bonus trigger entirely.
Getting into the Bonus Game requires a Bonus symbol on all three reels simultaneously, but there is a backdoor: a Random Event can trigger the bonus from any base spin where at least one Coin is already sitting on the reels. Before the feature starts, extra Coins and Collectors get placed onto the grid - between two and five Coins, up to four Collectors. The Hold & Win round itself runs on stripped-down reels containing only Coins and blanks. Three respins, resetting each time a new Coin lands. When it ends, every Collector tallies its gathered values into one payout.
Jackpot tiers: Grand 1,000x, Major 150x, Minor 50x, Mini 25x.
Two buy-in tiers skip the base game. Standard at 75x guarantees one Collector; Premium at 122x guarantees three. Since Collectors are the aggregation points for all coin values, stacking three or four during a Hold & Win round is where the 6,200x ceiling becomes plausible. The Premium price tag is steep, but the difference between one Collector and three is the difference between a single payout stream and a proper Fruit Nova-style coin sweep.
Numbers: RTP 96.15%, high volatility, 15 fixed paylines on a 3x5 grid, max win 6,200x.
Honest gripe? The fruit-machine framing undersells the actual mechanic underneath. Anyone scrolling past the lobby thumbnail will pattern-match this as a basic three-reel BAR slot and skip it. They would be wrong - the positional Coin/Collector split is genuinely fresh - but Evoplay did the game no visual favours. Also no free spins, no multiplier ladder, no expanding grid. Just the coin pipeline.
