The Ninja Fruits game can be found at casinos offering Play ‘n Go software. Play ‘n Go are a growing provider in the industry and have a rapidly expanding portfolio of both slots games and clients. They do offer a full casino platform, but primarily seem to be used as a bolt on package for extra slots games. Play ‘n Go do publish the Return to Player (RTP)/House Edge information for their slots games within the game help files. As such we know that the house edge for Ninja Fruits is 3.35 %.
The Ninja Fruits game is made up of 5 reels, each one 3 symbols high. There are 15 paylines, playing from left to right.
Wild – The Wild symbol is the “Ninja Master”, substituting for all symbols other than Bonus or Scatter symbols.
Bonus – The Bonus symbol is the “Ninja Stars”.
Scatter – The Scatter symbol is the “Geisha” symbol.
Bonus Features:
Collecting 3 of the “Geisha” Scatter symbols will trigger the game’s free spin bonus. These only appear in reels 1, 3 and 5. When you do manage to collect all 3 the Geisha in the middle reel will expand and she will spin her umbrella that has symbols from the game on it. The number of free spins awarded will be written across it and you will be given a new symbol as an additional scatter for the free spins. Free spins cannot be re-triggered and all bets will remain the same as the bet that triggered the bonus.
The game’s bonus feature is triggered when 3 of the Bonus “Ninja Stars” symbols are revealed. They will only appear on reels 3,4 and 5. When this does happen you will get the chance to test your ninja skills on some unsuspecting fruit. You will throw ninja stars at pieces of fruit to reveal cash prizes of up to 150 times the bet. Each time you throw a ninja star there is a chance you will miss. The bonus will either end when you slay all 5 pieces of fruit or if you miss.
Conclusion
Ninja Fruits sees the deadly fighting skills of trained killers face off against large pieces of fruit that have had it coming. With every winning line you get to watch those pesky pineapples and malicious melons sliced to death as you notch up way more than your required 5 a day. The game offers a few interesting bonuses, with a basic tile reveal game jazzed up into another excuse for wanton fruit abuse. The free spin bonus is disappointing because you can’t re-trigger, a cardinal sin in the world of slots games. The game looks good, although the fruit, which plays centre stage along with some terrifying ninjas, could have been taken out of any slots game. The falling cherry blossom on certain spins along with the sliced fruit for each win adds a nice touch to the game’s aesthetic. The House Edge is a little better than average, which means that anyone who has some beef with oranges and plums can find a therapeutically cathartic outlet right here, with reasonable value for money.
