Sweety Honey Fruit slot review (Netent)

They were mainly intended to serve the Asian market. Of course, this doesn’t imply that you are not allowed to play these slots if you are from a different continent. You are, but in practice, it doesn’t add much value. Why? Because, apart from a different look, these alternative versions barely add anything new.

In 2019 Netent started producing Oriental versions of their best-known slots.

We have, for example, Asian versions of:

These are great slots, but these are exact copies of the original versions.

These are everything but innovative. Even the mathematics behind these slots is (almost) the same.

Sweety Honey Fruit is another old slot pulled out of the shelf and restyled to cater to the Asian market.

It is a technical clone (what’s more: an exact copy) of the well-known Netent slot Fruit Shop.

Gameplay and features of the Sweety Honey Fruit slot

Sweety Honey Fruit is a straightforward and easy-to-understand slot focusing on tropical fruits and wilds and earning extra free spins.

It is everything but a video slot with complicated bonus features, expanding wilds, or increasing multipliers.

The slot has the traditional 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols per reel. There are 15 fixed paylines.

The reels are inside a typical Chinese mansion, with a red roof and the famous red lanterns. We miss the roof dragons, though.

The minimum bet is $€0.15 per spin, and the maximum bet is $€150 per spin.

What are the theoretical RTP, the variance, and the maximum win of the Sweety Honey Fruit Slot?

The theoretical payout percentage is an excellent 96.71%.

It is probably the best news about this slot, as it is better than the RTP of most other online slots.

You can win up to 80,000 coins per spin. Then you have to play at level 10. Suppose you play with a bet of 1 cent per line and on level 10 (a total bet of $€1.50 per spin), then the first prize is $€800, which amounts to more than 533 x the wager.

We estimate the variance to be medium. Winning anything above 500x the total bet should be seen as an incredible achievement.

Symbols and payouts

The game has three types of symbols: the Chinese symbol (represented by a Chinese Character), the fruit symbols, and the card symbols. The Chinese character is the wild symbol and replaces all symbols.

But wait, there is more!

If the wild symbol is part of a winning combination, your winnings are doubled.

The tropical fruit symbols are the premium symbols. If you a 5-of-a-kind of pitaya (also called dragon fruit), melon or pineapple, you win between 200 and 2,000 coins per payline.

Also, these wins are doubled here if the wild symbol is included in the 5-of-a-kind.

You can also win with five different playing card symbols (10, J, Q, K, and A), which payout between 50 and 150 coins for a 5-of-a-kind.

Free Spins Bonus

Every time you make a winning combination with fruit in the base game, you earn free spins with an x2 multiplier.

The bigger the winning combination, the more free spins you get. For example, a 2-of-a-kind from the pitaya gets you one free spin. 5-of-a-kind of a fruit symbol yield much more: 5 free spins.

During the free spins, an x 2 multiplier is activated.

Free spins can be retriggered. The free spins even get better as winning combinations from the lower card symbols also yield extra free spins (which is not the case in the base game).

As you can imagine, the free spins bonus is prevalent in Sweety Honey Fruit. The result is also apparent: most of the time, the free spins barely pay anything.

Nevertheless, occasionally, it is possible to spin some sweet combinations and land massive prizes. If you manage to make winning combinations with the wild symbol in the free spins bonus, you can.

If so, you are effectively increasing your wins with an x4 multiplier.

Our verdict on the Sweety Honey Fruit slot

Hmmm. What should we think of this slot?

The original Fruit Shop is a simple but pretty popular Netent slot with a free spins bonus feature that isn’t thrilling.

The same story goes for the Sweety Honey Fruit slot. Exotic fruits have replaced the strawberries and oranges, and the background has changed, and that is about it.

We were somewhat confused with the slot name Sweety Honey Fruit, as the melons and pineapples have nothing to do with honey. The name Sweety Tropical Fruit would have made more sense.

Shall we conclude that it is an excellent slot for beginning slots players?

3 out of 5 stars.
