FRKN Bananas™ Slot

FRKN Bananas™ Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The FRKN Bananas™ slot game setup is a little unusual compared to many online slots. The action plays out on a 6×5 game grid, which is made up of 19 paylines. Land 3 or more matching symbols or Wilds from left to right in a payline, starting from the leftmost reel, and you’ll bag yourself a winner.

Stakes in this cartoon caper range from between 10p and £100 per spin. Use the + and – tabs above and below the spin button to adjust your bet size. There are autoplay and quickspin modes if you’re in a territory where they are allowed—that doesn’t include UK slot sites.

The FRKN Bananas™ RTP is 96.31%, which is slightly better than average. There are also versions with 94.29% and even 92.27% return-to-player rates, which are well below the top RTP slots in the UK. Check the paytable to see if you’re playing the best version. The hit frequency here is 36.5%. On average, you’ll land a winner every 2.74 spins.

This is a volatile slot. There are some potentially big rewards on offer, though, with a FRKN Bananas™ max win of 10,000x. That’s pretty good for a standard slot. Rewards can typically get much bigger in big jackpot slots.

FRKN Bananas™ Theme—Brave the Backstreets of Banana Town

A rather grimy back street in the cartoon city of Peelington is the setting for FRKN Bananas™. The reels are set on a wooden crate and are made up of lower value A to 10 royals, as well as a piece of watermelon, a hot dog, popcorn, a boxing glove, and a diamond.

The banana is the Wild and substitutes for all the standard symbols. Land 6 bananas in a line, and you’ll also pocket an award of 5x.

There’s a retro, cartoonish quality to the visuals here. It’s all very bright and bold. The jazzy soundtrack playing away in the background adds to the slightly sleazy flavour here. It’s all a bit unusual but actually comes together rather nicely. The design gets a big thumbs up and stands out from many new slots.

Here’s what the paytable looks like:

Symbol	Payouts/Info
10	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.5x
J	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.6x
Q	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.6x
K	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 or 0.7x
A	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 or 0.7x
Watermelon	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.3, 0.5, 1 or 1.5x
Hot Dog	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.3, 0.5, 1 or 1.5x
Popcorn	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2x
Boxing Glove	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2x
Diamond	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 1, 1.5, 2 or 3x
Banana Wild	6 = 5x
Scatter	3 or 4 trigger the Free Spins feature

FRKN Bananas™ Mobile Slot

The old-school visuals really suit play on the smaller screen devices like smartphones and tablets. It’s all very bright and sharp, and the symbols are easy to make out. The gameplay is pretty straightforward, which, again, is a plus when playing on a handheld device.

FRKN Bananas™ Bonus Features

There are a few interesting bonus features in this slot game. Spreading bananas, complete with multipliers plus a pair of Free Spin bonuses, are at the top of the menu when it comes to the FRKN Bananas™ casinos slot bonus features.

Banana Split. No, Banana Spread!

If a Spreading Banana symbol lands pointing upwards or to the left, it spreads in that direction until it reaches the end of the game grid. These Spreading Bananas are Wilds and come with a multiplier of between 1x and 100x attached. If two Spreading Banana symbols spread onto the same grid position, the value of the multipliers is added together. If a winning combination contains more than one multiplier, they’re combined.

Bananza! Free Spins

Land 3 FS scatters on the same spin to trigger the Bananza! Bonus and 10 Free Spins. The mechanics here are the same as in the base game. However, expect to see more Spreading Banana symbols, higher value multipliers and better landing positions on the game grid. Landing 2 or 3 FS symbols adds another 2 or 4 Free Spins to your total.

Banana Blitz! Free Spins

Trigger the second feature round by landing 4 FS scatters on the same spin. Once again, 10 Free Spins are awarded. The gameplay is a little different here, though:

• Joining the action are the Sticky Banana and the Go Bananas symbols. Sticky Bananas stay in position until the end of the round and receive a multiplier of between 1x and 100x on each spin
• If there’s a Sticky Banana on the screen and you also land a Go Bananas symbol you’ll activate the Go Bananas mode. The Go Bananas symbol reveals a value of between 3 and 10. This figure represents how many Banana copies will be created from each Sticky Banana
• Copied Bananas are multiplier Wilds that are added to random positions, and they substitute for all the standard symbols. If two copied Bananas end up in the same position, the multipliers are combined
• Any Copied Bananas or Go Bananas symbols are removed on the next spin. Landing 2 or 3 FS scatters gives you another 2 or 4 Free Spins

As you can see, it is all a bit complicated. To practice before investing, I recommend trying the FRKN Bananas™ demo slot. It’s one of loads of free casino slots available at online-slot.co.uk.

Bonus Buy (Unavailable in the UK)

Players in some territories (but not you in the UK, sorry) can pay to activate a feature. You can buy the following:

• The Bananza! and Banana Blitz Free Spins for 100x or 200x, respectively
• Increase your stake from 1x to 3x to activate the BonusHunt FeatureSpins™, where your chances of landing a feature increase by 5x
• Spread’em FeatureSpins™ guarantee you land at least 2 Spreading Bananas on each spin. This costs a whopping 50x per spin

FRKN Bananas™ Slot

Quality design, Lootlines bonuses and Free Spins with multipliers make Marlin Masters™ an enjoyable fishing expedition.

Pros

• Stylish visuals
• 7,500x max win
• Free Spins with multipliers

Cons

• Features are quite similar

Hacksaw Gaming has come up with something a bit different in FRKN Bananas™. Visually, it’s a real treat. The retro imagery combined with the jazzy soundtrack is a terrific combination.

The gameplay is rather unusual, too. The spreading symbols can take some getting used to. That’s certainly the case with the Banana Blitz! Free Spins. When you have got your eye in, there’s plenty to like here.

The numbers stack up pretty well, too. The 96.31% RTP is better than average. As is the 10,000x max win.

I wouldn’t say you’d be bananas to miss this fruity extravaganza. The unusual theme and gameplay won’t be to all tastes. If you fancy livening up your slots diet, you’d do worse than adding FRKN Bananas™ to the rotation.
