Novomatic’s new slot, developed in association with GreenTube, is a modern twist on the old-school classic fruit machine. A very overdone theme, but the risk and volatility put this slot, Gold Star Fruits, up there with the best of them.
While it’s not complex to understand, this slot comes with two different modes and is played over a set of 5 reels, giving the player the total of 10 active pay lines.

Gold Star Fruits Overview

These can form winning combinations wither way on the reels: left or right.
This slot had regular and super spins to be played with, as well as expanding jokers and interesting features that bring the modern twist to the classic; this game comes with both pros and cons which will be explained below.

Betting and symbols for Gold Star Fruits

The betting system is simple enough starting at 10p and continuing up to a total of £50, meaning the player is paying between 1p and £5 for each line. This is per spin.
The best combinations on offer are a full line of Lucky 7s, which will give the player a full 250 times their stake. Should the player manage to fill the reels completely with the highest paying, the Joker Wild, they would have the chance of winning up to 2,500 times their stake in a single spin.

The RTP of the overall slot is 95%, which is a little below the 96% average we’re used to. However, there is the Super Spins mode, which is announced to be 100% RTP. It does make you wonder what the actual RTP of the base game is, if the 95% RTP is contributed to by the Super Spins 100%.
The symbols for this slot are very basic, with the usual symbols: melons, strawberries, oranges, lemons and cherries.

Features on Gold Star Fruits

The game offers the player two different modes to play: the base level and the Super Spins. The base mode is the simplest of the two modes, creating winning combinations when three or more regular symbols appear on the reels.
If the combination is worth more than x4 of the stake, then the player has the chance of using the winnings to buy the Super Spins mode, which will award the player with up to 50 free spins. From this it can be garnered that it is worth x4 of the stake that the player is betting.

As mentioned above, the Super Spins mode has an RTP of 100%, which means that while you could keep your winnings, this may actually be the best chance the player has at earning some decent wins.
The additional feature of the Super Spins comes in the form of the wild symbol, which is portrayed as a joker, which has the ability to fully expand across an entire reel. This can aid the player in making even bigger and better wins. The prizes are higher in this mode and therefore it is beneficial for the player to keep investing in the Super Spins.

Conclusion

The graphics are simple and basic, but there is a charm for this slot that we can’t deny. With the chance of 100% in return to player during the Super Spins mode, there is plenty to interest the player. With some of the best things being in the Super Spins mode, the slot is worth a play purely for this mode, with the chance of winning a total of 2,500 times the stake in a single spin; a whopping £125,000 if betting the highest wager available.
