Cosmic Fruit is a video slot by Booming Games that takes a completely different approach to the fruit machine throwback theme by shooting the fruit into outer space. You'll have no gravity in space to pull you down away from big winning combinations and payouts, and the 3D graphics of the fruit in space gives this game a solid visual aesthetic. It's also got a smooth style of gameplay and a reasonable level of volatility, so players don't have to worry about high-volatility gameplay that is difficult to relax and enjoy.

Format and Layout

The format used here has five reels and three rows, and it has a layout with 20 paylines. There are betting levels from $0.60 to $60 per spin thanks to coins that range from $0.03 to $3 apiece. We would have personally preferred that the minimum coin sizes were a little smaller to make it easier for more players to enjoy this game, but it's a small issue since the $0.60 minimum bet size per spin is still fairly reasonable.

Booming Games has given you the ability to lower the number of paylines that you play with in this game from the maximum of 20. We strongly recommend that you keep it at 20, however, and if you need to pick a smaller bet size, we recommend that you change the coin sizes instead. The reason for these recommendations is that dropping down below 20 paylines lowers the RTP of the game, which means a higher house advantage.

Wild and Scatter Payouts

The two symbols that you'll want to pay the most attention to in this game are the wilds and the scatters. The wild is the stack of different slices of fruit that looks like some kind of giant fruit sandwich out in space, and it pays a very strong 500x for five of a kind. The prizes for four of a kind and three of a kind are 50x and 5x, respectively.

For the scatter symbols, which are the green, star-shaped fruit, the wins are based on multiples of your entire bet size. Five of a kind gets a 12x payout, and four wins 5x. Just three anywhere on the reels is worth a 2x win.

Free Spins Feature

The scattered star fruit symbol is worth a set of free spins if you're able to pick up three or more anywhere on the game board. You'll be given 10 free spins, and you have a chance to re-trigger the feature as well. If you hit this feature while the Two-Way Pay feature (described below) is activated, those two-way spins will pause while you play out your free spins, and they will continue in the normal game mode once you're finished with your bonus round.

Two-Way Pay Mode

The wild fruit sandwich symbol acts as a scatter symbol when it comes to activating a second feature. This is the Two-Way Pay feature, and three or more of the wild symbol anywhere on the reels will activate it. The way this feature works is that it gives you a different game mode for the following 10 spins where all paylines pay both left-to-right and right-to-left. This effectively doubles the value of five-of-a-kind wins since they get paid in each direction. This feature can also be re-triggered as well, and it will simply add 10 more spins to this mode when that happens.

Winning Combinations and Payouts

There are five fruit symbols that appear on the reels besides the scatter and the wild. The pear symbol is worth 50x for five of a kind, and you can win 7.5x for five of the apple. The coconut symbol will earn you 2.5x for five, and the five-of-a-kind payout for the orange is 1.5x. The flaming fruit symbol that looks a lot like a comet earns 1.25x. The comet and pear symbols are the only symbols in the entire game that will pay for two of a kind or more. The rest require at least three.

In Summary

What Booming Games has done with the Cosmic Fruit slot is throw the fruit machine concept on its head by taking it into outer space and giving it great graphics. This is a feature-driven game to a large extent, but it also has a balanced enough pay table that you won't have to worry about the big swings that can come along with games that have a high volatility. While we would have liked to see a little more originality in terms of stepping a bit more outside of the box with the fruit machine theme, this is a solid title for what it is.
