Fresh Crush

The first thought that comes to mind at the thought of Fresh Crush is ‘classic slot gambling with a fresh perspective’. The name Fresh Crush is no coincidence – the game is not your regular 5×3 fruit slot, but rather a 6-reel fruit destroying machine with Scatter Pays.

The RTP and high volatility make it a bit more interesting than some low-rolling creations, and the addition of Free Spins and Feature Buy options brings the game to a whole new level. In short, this is not another classic game, but something quite entertaining from Endorphina. Check out the rest of the review for extra details.

Fruit slots are and always will be popular, no matter what novelties slot-makers come up with. However, it is also quite obvious that fruit slots, or more specifically, classic Vegas-style games are in serious need of a revamp. Enter Endorphina, a great game-maker prone to administering makeovers on common slot themes we’re quite used to.

In Fresh Crush, players are met with a 6×5 grid with Scatter Pays. There are no winning patterns or winning ways, but instead you need to land 8 matching icons to call it a win. These 8 tiles can land on virtually any position on the grid. Obviously, the more the merrier, so if you manage to collect more symbols, you’ll get a bigger payout.

As expected, the grid is riddled with fruits of all kinds, including plums, cherries, apples, peaches, lemons, grapes, and melons. Plums are the lowest-value fruit paying 0.25x-2x for 12+ icons, with watermelons paying up to 15x for the same number of icons. The symbol set also includes bells, stars, and diamonds.

The diamonds are the highest-paying tiles in the bunch, paying 100x for 6 matching icons as they are the Scatters.

Now, onto more technical points. First of all, the game is highly volatile, which already hints at this not being a classic ‘classic’ slot at all. The volatility is also high, so combining a 96.07% RTP with high variance and a small betting range (0.20-50) means the game is meant for medium or high rollers. Sadly, the payout does not match that as the max win in the game is capped at 500x the stake.

The good news is that you can play the game on every device or screen you want. There is perhaps a chance to check it out for free at online casinos with Endorphina games that support demo gaming.

Bets in Endorphina Fresh Crush online slot start with $0.20 per round. You can bet up to $50 per round if you are playing Fresh Crush online slot for real money at your chosen Endorphina casino.

On the other hand, the game has a maximum jackpot worth 500x the stake. This is the only info we would procure about game payouts, so we regard it as the game’s max win potential.

Icons in the game pay on the Scatter Pay system, meaning you need 8+ icons anywhere on the grid to unlock a win. Fruit payouts start from 0.25x for 8 tiles (for plums for example) and go up to 50x for 12+ (for stars). Diamonds pay up to 100x but for 6 icons, as this is the game Scatter.

If you want, you can also use the Buy Bonus option titled Bonus Pop. This will cost you 136x for 10 Free Spins.

The main game features in Fresh Crush are Free Spins with Multipliers, the Risk Gamble game, and the Bonus Pop.

Wins in the game use the cascading mechanics to allow more icons onto the grid. If you get 3 Scatters, you get 5 Spins, while with 4 Scatters on the grid, you get 10 Free Spins with Multipliers.

There is nothing special to talk about regarding Free Spins here except that they can be full of Multipliers. Multipliers randomly appear and stick to the grid until the end of the round. Then they are summed up and paid out. Possible Multiplier values you might notice on the grid include 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 18x, 20x, 25x, 30x, 50x, and 100x. A special icon, Firecracker, also appears – and its main purpose is to explode on the grid and thus trigger a new cascade. Firecrackers do not affect Scatters and Multipliers.

Additionally, on every win, you are offered a Risk game where you can hit a payout if you are lucky to beat the dealer’s card by picking one that’s higher (you pick from 4 potential options).
