Game Overview
‘Land fruit, get the loot!’ boasts the title screen of Red Tiger’s new Happy Apples game, a grid slot that uses a huge 6×6 reel set. The game is stuffed with cute-looking animal symbols, along with – of course – plenty of brightly coloured apples. As this is a grid slot, there’s no need for any paylines or payways. Instead, ten or more matching symbols appearing in an adjacent cluster will award you a prize, with bigger wins reserved for larger clusters of 15 or more matching symbols. The game has a top prize of 6,186.5x the stake played, along with a return to player (RTP) percentage of 95.70%.
Like most other grid slots, Happy Apples uses a chain reaction feature which will cause all winning combinations to disappear from the playfield immediately after landing. This will cause the symbols located above the winning combination to fall into the newly created gaps, making it possible to win several times from every paid spin. There are several base game modifiers dubbed the ‘Fortune Tree’, ‘Golden Apple’, and ‘Diamond Apple’ features, along with a free spin bonus round that awards between 10 and 15 spins depending on the number of triggering scatters. If you have trouble hitting three or more scatters, a bonus buy facility allows you to skip the base game and purchase a set of free spins directly.
I have no doubt that our women readers will love the cutesy animal symbols featured in this game, but we’re all about equal opportunities here at Demoslot! Therefore, I recommend everybody try our free demo slot of Happy Apples – it’s available to play below.
Happy Apples Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Many slots use the word ‘happy’ in their titles, but Happy Apples is perhaps amongst the friendliest looking of the bunch! You don’t see the horses smiling in Pragmatic Play’s Happy Hooves, for example, do you? Actually, do horses even smile? Ahem, moving on, how about Re-Trigger Happy Deluxe? Exactly how happy would you be after getting shot? (ED: That escalated quickly) Now, look at these adorable pandas, cats, and pigs! Are you smiling yet? I rest my case!
Happy Apples looks gorgeous, but how does it pay? The fat cat is the highest-paying symbol on the paytable and awards 35x the current bet for a maximum cluster of 15 or more symbols. Next, the panda will pay you 20x your stake whenever 15 or more of those appear in adjacent positions, whilst the well-fed pigs are worth 12.5x your bet for 15 or more of those. I’m not entirely sure what the final high-paying symbol is meant to be – a hedgehog? Or a bird, maybe? He’s a little brown fellow, anyway, and is worth 10x your bet for all five symbols. The low-paying symbols look like a mixture of fruits and candy and have returns ranging from 1.5x to 8x your bet for a maximum 15 symbol cluster.
Red Tiger tends to change the available bets offered in their online slots according to the level of volatility the game offers. With minimum/maximum bets of €0.10 and €10.00, respectively, I suspect this game falls squarely into the high volatility category.
Base Game & Modifiers
The Happy Apples reel set consists of six columns of six rows each. All of the symbols which appear on the paytable can appear as both single units and multiple-height stacks. You’ll need at least ten matching symbols in adjacent positions to score a win, and with 36 possible positions, this should mean that you can win up to three times simultaneously. Winning combinations are immediately removed from the playfield, meaning that you can potentially win even more times from the resulting rearrangement of symbols.
Fortune Tree Modifier
The fortune tree is shown above the main reel set and can randomly activate at the start of any base game spin. When this occurs, special apples will fall from the tree, creating new winning possibilities on the reels below:
- Golden Apple: When golden apples fall onto the reels, they transform into high-paying symbols. These seem to always land in advantageous positions, which I’m sure is not coincidental!
- Diamond Apple: When a diamond apple lands on the reel set, it will award a random multiplier applied to all winnings resulting from the current game round. If multiple diamond apples fall from the fortune tree, their values are added together before being applied to your winnings.
Happy Apples Slot Bonus Features
The main bonus round is triggered whenever three or more ‘free spin’ scatter symbols appear on the reels. The number of scatters determines the number of free spins awarded; a three-scatter trigger awards 10 free spins, whilst four or five scatters award 12 or 15 free spins, respectively.
Free Spins
In this mode, the fortune tree will activate much more regularly than during the base game. A single activation of the fortune tree can now drop as many as 10 golden apples onto the reels during a single activation, along with one to three diamond apples.
The multipliers available from the diamond apples are also enhanced during the bonus round and now have possible values of 2x, 3x, 5x, 7x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, or 100x. These multipliers apply to all wins generated from the current free spin and not just the one happening at the time the fortune tree activates.
Bonus Buy
The bonus buy menu includes three options:
- Golden Apples: For 3x the current bet, between five and ten golden apples are guaranteed to fall on the next spin.
- Diamond Apples: For 15x the current bet, between one and three diamond apples are guaranteed to fall on the next spin. Golden apples may also land on the same spin.
- Free Spins: For 70x the current bet, between three and five scatter symbols are guaranteed to land on the next spin.
Happy Apples Slot Review Final Thoughts
Fans of grid slots will undoubtedly get a kick out of Happy Apples but be warned; this is an extremely high volatility game! Many bonus rounds can result in only a minimal return, but the times when you get lucky, it might just go big! If you enjoy high-variance games, you should definitely add this to your to-do list.
