NetEnt has finally gained a Big Time Gaming license to manufacture slots based on the revolutionary Megaways engine. Fruit Shop was first time launched in 2011 with its fun design and addictive bonus spins feature and now, after a decade, it is reborn with the same concept, but with a significantly expanded set of reels. This game version kept the same cartoon graphics style and thanks to the increased play area, the look is now complemented by a new colorful background. The title has 6 reels and 7 rows which allows punters to place bets from$0.2 up to $100 per spin. The RTP stayed slightly above the average at 96.06%. This is a high-volatility title which means that players should bet wisely to survive in the long run, although it also means that better prizes are available. The maximum potential wins go up to $10,000 the bet.
