Pragmatic Play unveils new fruit-themed online slot Fruity Treats, its latest addition to "cluster pays" portfolio

Online gaming provider Pragmatic Play has released a new fruit-themed online slot called Fruity Treats. The title is the latest addition to its collection of ‘cluster pays’ slots.

The company explains that five or more fruit symbols must connect horizontally or vertically to award a win in this "vibrant 7×7 title", which features a variation of the popular multiplier spots mechanic.

At the start of each spin, four marked spots of different colors take up random positions on the grid. If a win forms over a marked spot, a starting multiplier of 5x, 10x, 15x, or 20x (depending on the spot color) will be activated. Each time a winning combination lands on a marked spot after a tumble, the multiplier is applied to the win and then increases by its starting value.

Hitting at least three candy scatters on a spin awards entry to the bonus game with 10 free spins. During the feature, which can be retriggered with five additional free spins, activated multipliers from marked spots do not reset between free spins, potentially leading to bigger wins.

Fruity Treats is the latest ‘cluster pays’ Slot in Pragmatic Play’s portfolio, joining the recent launch of Sugar Rush 1000.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “The roaming multiplier spots feature in Fruity Treats sets it apart from other successful 'cluster pays' Slots in the Pragmatic Play portfolio, with marked spots staying sticky in the bonus game for even greater win potential.”

Recently, the provider also launched a sweets-themed sequel called Candy Blitz Bombs. Building on the original Candy Blitz game, the new 6x5 title can award wins and set off tumbles when eight or more matching sweet symbols land anywhere on the reels in the same spin.
