Pineapple Crush (Quickspin) Slot Demo & Review

With the summer months fast approaching, we’re going to need a fresh bunch of slots that suit the sunnier times awaiting us. Fortunately, we never have to wait long each year, and this time around, Quickspin is one of the first to get in the act with the release of Pineapple Crush, a slot that looks just as tasty as it sounds. We have fruits and ice on the reels, a sunny backdrop, and a splash of juicy features to look forward to. Before I get into those, let’s get the basics out of the way. Pineapple Crush is a 5-reel, 3-row, and 20-payline slot with a 96.01% RTP and a reasonable 7,333x maximum win.

Pineapple Crush isn’t the most complex of slots around, far from it in fact, but it does have some interesting features. There’s a cascading reels mechanic that removes winning symbols, a win multiplier that increases 1x for every winning combo in the base game, and a free spins bonus with a win multiplier that increases for each ‘symbol’ involved in a combo. If you wish, you can gamble for more spins before that bonus starts, or if you’re not interested in waiting around for the required scatters, you can just buy it outright via the buy bonus feature.

If you want to try this ice-cool slot without risking your bankroll, look below. We’ve provided the Pineapple Crush slot demo for you to play for free.

When I first opened Pineapple Crush, seeing the symbols encased in ice instantly reminded me of the Tropicool and Tropicool 2 slots from Elk Studios, as they have the same kind of design with regards to the symbols being trapped within the ice. If both of those give you a thirst for even more summer themed slots, then I’d recommend loading up Strawberry Cocktail from Pragmatic Play, too, which has a main bonus round that differs from the norm somewhat, so don’t forget to get that a spin when you’re done with today’s review

Onto the pays section now, and most slots with a cascading reel mechanic don’t tend to have the biggest symbol payouts, but Pineapple Crush has larger rewards than I expected. The Wild symbol, which substitutes for paying symbols, is at the top of the table, with 125x the stake returned for a five-symbol combination, followed by the Cherries, which pay the best of the regular icons, with up to 75x up for grabs. The remaining premiums are the Watermelon, Blueberries, and Lemon with up to 50x, 25x, and 10x possible, respectively. After those, we are left with the lower paying symbols where the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack pay 5x, 3.75x, 2.5x, and 1.25x for winning combos of five.

Finally, we end with the betting selection on Pineapple Crush, where you can choose from 16 staking options. These start out at a minimum of €0.20, while at the opposite end of the scale, high rollers can play up to €100 a press.


Pineapple Crush Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Pineapple Crush Slot Base Game

The reel configuration of Pineapple Crush consists of 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 fixed paylines. However, a cascading reel mechanic allows you to secure multiple wins from a single spin. When at least three matching symbols appear across a payline from left to right, you receive a payout, and those symbols disappear. More fall onto the gaming grid from above, and should they complete winning combinations, the process repeats.


Cascade Multipliers

When symbol cascades occur, a global win multiplier increases by 1x and applies to any future wins during the current spin. During the base game, that multiplier will reset between spins.

Ultimately, the main goal when spinning the reels of Pineapple Crush is the same as most other slots – to trigger the main bonus game. On this occasion, it is a free spins bonus that triggers once three or more scatter symbols appear as a result of a base game spin.


Free Spins Feature

You’ll receive 7, 10, or 15 free spins in return for 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols landing on the same spin. It’s also possible to get an additional scatter symbol and 22 free spins via the Gamble Wheel, which I’ll tell you about shortly.

During this bonus, the global win multiplier will increase by 1x for every symbol removed by a cascade, and that multiplier will not reset between spins. Furthermore, you’ll receive 3, 5, or 7 additional free spins whenever 3, 4, or 5 scatters land.


Gamble Wheel

When you trigger the free spins bonus, you’re first offered the chance to gamble for more free spins. Each spin of the wheel gives you the chance to earn an extra scatter symbol and receive the additional spins they unlock. It’s possible to unlock up to as many as a sixth scatter symbol and 22 free spins. Just remember, folks, one losing spin, and you lose all the free spins you’ve unlocked so far.


Bonus Buy

A buy bonus feature on Pineapple Crush allows you to purchase the free spins bonus at a cost of 100x your current spin bet.


Pros

  • I like how the multiplier increases by 1x for every winning symbol in the free spins bonus.

Cons

  • This is not the slot for anyone who prefers feature overload whenever they spin some reels.

Pineapple Crush Slot Review Final Thoughts

Pineapple Crush is the sort of slot you just have to take at face value. It does not promise to be anything more than a simple yet entertaining slot game with a few interesting features. When you’re after a chilled no thrills experience, this is a great title to go for.
