Lucky Fruits & Diamonds

Lucky Fruits & Diamonds Overview

Lucky Fruits & Diamonds is a fruit slot from GameArt, released on 8 August 2023. It plays on a 5x3 grid with 243 ways to win, and it pairs a classic fruit-machine symbol set with four fixed jackpots, a free spins round and a gamble feature. The published figures are a 96.2% RTP, medium volatility and a maximum win of 4,567x the bet. Stakes run from 0.50 to 200 per spin.

The Symbols

The reels carry the full fruit bowl: watermelons, cherries, plums and grapes, a sparkling diamond, and the royal letters A, K, Q and J for the lower pays. Two special symbols stand apart from them. The golden 7 marked “Scatter” starts the bonus, and the red 7 marked “Wild” stands in for the other symbols. In both of our free spins screenshots the Wild sat on the middle reel, stacked from top to bottom.

Because the game uses 243 ways instead of fixed lines, a win only needs matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left, in any row. A stacked Wild on the third reel therefore connects every row of the first two reels with every row of the fourth and fifth.

Four Jackpots That Scale With the Bet

Four plaques sit above the reels: Grand, Major, Minor and Mini. Comparing two of our screenshots shows that they are fixed multiples of the stake, not progressive pots:

• At a $1 bet: Grand $1,000, Major $200, Minor $100, Mini $20
• At a $10 bet: Grand $10,000, Major $2,000, Minor $1,000, Mini $200

That makes the ladder 1,000x, 200x, 100x and 20x at any stake. The Grand is therefore a little under a quarter of the 4,567x maximum win.

How the Free Spins Start

Three golden Scatter 7s anywhere on the reels start the feature. In our round three of them landed on the first, third and fifth reels, and the spin paid $18.42 at the $10 stake. The game then announced “Congratulations! You won 9 free spins”, with $30.00 already counted in the win meter.

Minors Removed

Before the free spins begin, a second panel explains what makes them special: “Free Spins Featuring – Minors Removed”. The panel lists only the Scatter, the Wild, the watermelon, the plum, the grapes, the cherry and the diamond. The A, K, Q and J are taken off the reels for the whole round, so every win in the bonus is built from the fruit and the diamond.

Our screenshots show how that plays out. On the fourth of nine spins, two columns of cherries on the first two reels met two Wilds on the third reel. On the ninth spin, six watermelons on the first two reels joined three stacked Wilds, and that spin alone paid $162.00.

Our Free Spins Result

The win meter moved from $30.00 at the start to $150.00 after four spins and $312.00 after the ninth and last one. At a $10 stake that is 31.2x the bet from a single bonus round, with more than half of it coming from the final watermelon spin.

The Gamble Feature

After the round the game offered a gamble on the $312.00 win, with five gambles remaining. There are two ways to play it:

• Colour: guess red or black for x2 – $624.00 on our win
• Suit: guess one of the four suits for x4 – $1,248.00

The green Collect button banks the win instead. A wrong guess loses the amount on the table, so the gamble is best treated as an optional extra rather than part of the strategy.

The Numbers at a Glance

• Grid: 5 reels, 3 rows, 243 ways
• RTP: 96.2%
• Volatility: medium
• Maximum win: 4,567x the bet
• Stake range: 0.50 to 200
• Jackpots: 1,000x / 200x / 100x / 20x, fixed to the bet
• Bonus: 9 free spins with the low symbols removed
• Extras: colour gamble (x2) and suit gamble (x4)

At the top stake of 200 the Grand plaque is worth 200,000, and the maximum win works out to 913,400. At the 0.50 minimum the Grand is 500.

What Our Screenshots Do Not Show

Our session did not open the paytable, so we cannot quote the individual symbol values here. We also did not see a jackpot being won, so the exact way the Grand, Major, Minor and Mini are awarded is not covered in this review. The diamond appears both in the base game and in the free spins symbol list, but none of our spins showed it paying on its own. Open the in-game help in the demo on this page for the full paytable and the jackpot rules before you play for real money.

Graphics and Sound

The reels sit in a gold frame on a deep purple background, with the logo in golden script above them and the diamond sparkling on its right. The fruit is drawn large and glossy, and in the free spins the winning symbols light up in pink and violet. The jackpot plaques stay visible at all times, so you always know what the current stake is worth at the top.

Who It Is For

Lucky Fruits & Diamonds suits players who like a classic fruit theme with a bit more going on. The 243 ways keep the base game busy, the four jackpots scale cleanly with the stake, and the free spins take the letters off the reels for bigger fruit wins. Medium volatility and a 96.2% RTP make it a balanced choice, and the gamble is there for those who want to push a win further. All six casinos we checked carry it.
