Fruit Shop Megaways Slot Game Background
Fruit Shop Megaways is the sequel to the original (and already fantastic) Fruit Shop. NetEnt was looking for a candidate to revamp by adding the Megaways engine, and they settled on their classic online slot from 2011. The original boasted a 5-reel, 3-row set-up and a standard 15 paylines. With Fruit Shop Megaways they went above this. As a result, the slot offers up to 117,649 ways to win alongside other exciting features and design mechanics.
Fruit Shop Megaways Slot Game Design
Fruit Shop Megaways is a 6-reel online slot game with anywhere between 2 - 7 rows depending on the on-screen action and the size of the symbols in view. Unlike most Megaways slots, Fruit Shop Megaways does not have an extra horizontal reel. However, this doesn’t impact the number of paylines: Fruit Shop Megaways offers an average (for a Megaways slot) of 117,649 ways-to-win and a potential maximum payout of 20,000x the stake.
Fruit Shop Megaways takes place in the front-facing side of what else but a fruit shop, complete with an awning. The graphics are bright and vibrant, and successfully capture the glow of a warm summer afternoon. The action seemingly takes place near the beachside, although it’s difficult to tell, as the bottom half of the in-game screen only shows greenery, including trees and plants (the latter swaying in the breeze), while the top half shows white clouds floating past a deep blue summer sky. In any case, both are obscured by the game grid, ostensibly the white canvas of the shop facade. The Megaways counter sits on the top left of the fruit stall.
When not spinning the reels, the slot features a bouncy, upbeat soundtrack. This is accompanied by ambient sounds of the blowing breeze or surf, birds tweeting and so on. It makes for a relaxing, tranquil atmosphere. Sound effects haven’t changed much, with a classic fruit machine ding sounds playing when spinning the reels.
Audio-visually, then, not much has changed between this slot and the original.

Fruit Shop Megaways Slot Bonus Features
Fruit Shop Megaways offers a couple of juicy bonuses and features sure to get the excitement going!
Free Spins Feature
Uniquely, the feature is triggered by landing a Megaways win with the medium paying symbols rather than Scatter symbols.
During the Free Spins feature, landing medium-paying symbols awards a determined number of additional Free Spins:
Cherries symbol
- 2 symbols = 1 Free Spin.
- 3 symbols = 2 Free Spins.
- 4 symbols = 3 Free Spins.
- 5 symbols = 4 Free Spins.
- 6 symbols = 5 Free Spins.
Plum, lemon, orange and watermelon symbols
- 3 symbols = 2 Free Spins.
- 4 symbols = 3 Free Spins.
- 5 symbols = 4 Free Spins.
- 6 symbols = 5 Free Spins.
Royal playing card symbols
- 3 symbols = 1 Free Spin.
- 4 symbols = 2 Free Spins.
- 5 symbols = 3 Free Spins.
- 6 symbols = 4 Free Spins.
Free Spins start with a 1x multiplier. This increases by +1 (up to a total of 10x) with every spin that leads to a win.
Megaways Feature
The incorporation of the Megaways engine means that each reel can reveal a certain number of symbols in view. Landing consecutive symbols on all reels after a spin could lead to the maximum 117,649 ways to win!
Fruit Shop Megaways Slot Summary
Fruit Shop Megaways is a brilliant update of the already popular original (which already took inspiration from the classic fruit machines) thanks to its laid-back charm, colourful presentation and the incorporation of the Megaways mechanic alongside an in-depth Free Spins bonus round.
