There is a brand new slot machine that is causing waves in the online gambling world at the minute. It is called Funky Fruits, and it follows a similar design setup as the hugely popular Chain Reactor slot game. Designed unlike any conventional slots, this brand new Playtech release requires gamers to match 5 or more symbols either vertically or horizontally across the playing field.
 

Cherries, lemons, oranges, pineapples, plums and watermelons all make their appearance in this new Playtech game, as you might expect for any fruit themed title. One of the largest payouts that a player will be able to pick up in the Funky Fruits game, is a 5,000 x multiplier, which is triggered when a player has five or more lemons on the 5×5 gaming board.
 

The idea behind the Chain Reactor style slot is that when matching symbols are accumulated, they pay out their prize, and then they explode. The space left by the exploding fruit is then occupied by other fruit symbols and icons, which drop down from above. This process will continue repeating until the player at 25 icons that do not match up to reward any payout.
 

Because of the way it is designed, players have no paylines to play with and fiddle about, this makes betting simpler than most new slot machine games. The game has also been designed with player’s finances in mind, with four different wagering levels catering for the extremely rich, the rich, the standard norm, and the not so rich.
 

What is more miraculous is that there is a progressive jackpot installed into this slot. A player will strike the progressive jackpot when they have been 8 and 25 cherries located on the game board. This is quite a fair requirement, and the jackpot that can be won is displayed at the top of the screen to get you all warmed up. The big progressive jackpot can only be won however, if the maximum wager has been staked.
 

Funky Fruits is destined to be more popular than its Chain Reactor cousin, and its progressive jackpot and common fruit slot machine symbols are sure to make it an instant hit, now that Playtech has unleashed it unto casinos running their software this week.
