Adding a slight twist to a successful recipe is sometimes more than enough to create a solid product. In this case we have fruits as ingredients and the recipe is the 243 Crystal Fruits video slot that Tom Horn Gaming released back in 2017.
Now the developers decided to make a sequel to that game and name it 243 Crystal Fruits Reversed. I guess there isn’t much creativity in play at this studio when it comes to naming the products, hopefully the gameplay provides a bit more entertainment.
Theme
As you can probably tell from the title, this game is all about fruits in a crystalized version. There are most of the usual items from the classic fruit slot machines included, from cherries and oranges to the Lucky Number 7, but all the icons have that crystal look.
Overall, the symbols look a lot better than they did in the original game, and the soundtrack has been improved as well. The only thing that the developers seem to have ruined is the plum symbol, in the new version of the game it looks more like an eggplant.
Betting Options and Functions
This slot has a standard setup with 5 reels and 3 rows, while the base game has just 5 active paylines. You need to have at least three matching symbols on consecutive adjacent reels, but only from left to right.
The game offers a pretty wide betting range, it starts at just 10 cents per spin and can go all the way up to 100 dollars. This is a high-volatility title, so you should be patient and keep spinning until you hit those big wins. The return to player percentage of this product is 96.
Features
The Wild 243 is the only special symbol in the game and it has great powers indeed. Not only can it substitute for any other icon in the game, it will also trigger the Reverse Respin which can transform this slot from incredibly boring to really exciting. The number of winning ways increases from just 5 all the way to 243, and the maximum prize shoots up to 990 times the stake!
The feature triggers whenever you have a winning line with the Wild on it, the winning symbols lock into place and all the others disappear. The respin replaces all those icons and also comes with a multiplier of x2.
If the respin brings another win, the mechanism repeats with the multiplier going up a notch. This whole sequence will be repeated until there are no more wins or until the multiplier reaches 5x.
Conclusion
243 Crystal Fruits Reversed will most likely be a successful sequel from Tom Horn Gaming, the graphics have been improved considerably compared to the original game and the Reverse Respin is another big difference between the two products.
This award-winning developer has a good track record when it comes to providing entertaining slots and this one does not disappoint, even though it doesn’t have too many features and is quite a simple product overall.
