BetSoft announced Fruit Zen in 2015. This slot has five reels and 10 fixed paylines that pay from right to left and vice versa. And as the game’s title suggests, you’ll find an array of fruits across the reels.
But what are your chances of scoring a win on Fruit Zen? With 95.90% RTP and medium volatility, occasional wins are the norm during gameplay. But not to worry; they’ll be worthwhile sums capable of reaching a mind-blowing 2,000x your wager.
Fruit Zen adopts a zen theme that’ll keep you relaxed as you hit the spin icon. There’s just something about its transparent reels placed against wavy waters that takes all your worries away. But don’t expect to be zen-like for too long; bursts of excitement will take centre stage as you land winning combinations.

Expanding Wilds
Fruit Zen fits just one bonus — Expanding Wild. The Expanding Wild (Fruit Zen icon) can appear on reels two, three, or four. When landed, the entire reel becomes Wild, and you’ll earn a respin. During the respin, the Wild stays fixed. You’ll receive another respin if you receive a Wild during the respin.
After spinning the reels countless times, we finally got the Fruit Zen icon. Upon landing this symbol, the reel (reel two) transformed into a flower-themed Wild, and we got a respin that got us €21.00; but surprisingly, landing the Plum across the reels three times gave us our biggest win worth €23.00.
We have to say that Fruit Zen didn’t match or exceed our expectations. Agreed, the game has a relaxing vibe, which we loved at first, but eventually it became a tad boring. However, we’ll give credit where it’s due. The Expanding Wild isn’t difficult to land, and although it didn’t get us the 2,000x maximum payout, we still had some wins.
You’ll enjoy Fruit Zen if you want a straightforward slot, but if you love action-packed ones (just like us), you probably won’t keep going back to this game.
Pragmatic Play released Fruit Party in 2020. This slot has a 7×7 grid and 96.47% RTP. Fruit Party has several add-ons, including a Tumble Feature, Random Multiplier Feature, and Free Spins. We appreciated the presence of a Buy Feature, as it allowed us to purchase Free Spins and land massive winning combinations. Fruit Party ties things up nicely with a maximum payout of 5,000x your bet.
Tiki Fruits (2018) by Red Tiger Gaming has an 8×10 layout and an above-average RTP of 96.05%. You’ll find loads of in-game features, including Tiki Spins, Fruit Bar, and Totem Activator, and a 2,000x maximum payout.
