Happy Apples Slot Review

Happy Apples Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

Launch Happy Apples and you’ll find a 6 x 6 grid slot with a scatter pays mechanism. This means there are 36 positions and to create a win you must land 10 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels.

To get started, choose a stake between 10p, up to £10 by using the + and – buttons below the reels. Like many Red Tiger Gaming slots, the max bet is relatively low so it’s perfect for casual players.

If you’re playing from outside of the UK, you’ll also find an Autospin button below the reels. You can set the game to play between 20 and 100 spins on your behalf, and the Autospin function will stop when you reach your loss limit. You can also use the Turbo button for faster spins.

The Happy Apples slot has an RTP rate of 95.7%, which is slightly below the average for online slots. The volatility is also high, and the game offers max wins of 6,186.5 x your total stake. Big wins come through the Fortune Tree feature, which can offer multipliers of up to 100 x your bet.

Theme – kawaii creatures and candy

Happy Apples has a cute asian theme, often referred to as ‘kawaii’ in Japan. Adorable animals beam at you, alongside different types of mochi and desserts. It’s a saccharine sweet slot, but the graphics are beautiful and joyful.

The reels hang against a pastel coloured scene, with swirly clouds and mountains. The symbols themselves are equally cute. Lower paying symbols are represented by different sweet treats, whilst higher paying symbols include a fox, a pig and a panda. The tiger is the slot’s highest paying symbol, rewarding you with up to 35 x your stake.

Like many grid slots, Happy Apples does not include a wild symbol. Instead, look out for special gold and diamond Apple symbols, and the Free Spins scatter. These all trigger bonus features, which you can learn about in the next section of this review.

Happy Apples Mobile

Created with HTML5 technology, the Happy Apples mobile slot can be played on both iOS and Android smartphones. Thanks to the simplified symbols, the slot looks great on the smaller screen, which is surprising given its layout. Often, grid slots look a little cluttered and confusing on mobile, but you needn’t worry about that with this release.

Happy Apples Bonus Features

Happy Apples comes complete with 3 bonus features. This includes a tumble feature, a free spins round, and a unique Fortune Tree feature which offers sizeable multipliers. Depending on where you’re playing from, there’s also a Feature Buy option which lets you pay your way into bonus rounds.

Tumble Feature

In the base game, any symbols that contribute to a win disappear from the reels immediately. This allows new symbols to take their position, giving you a chance to win multiple times from a single spin. This continues until no new wins are formed.

Although Red Tiger Gaming refer to this as a chain reaction feature, it functions in the exact same way as a tumble sequence. Tumbling reels can be found in a lot of the best slots, as the simple mechanism has proved to be popular and effective time and time again.

Fortune Tree Feature

At the top of the reels, you’ll find an apple tree full of delicious looking fruit. This is the Fortune Tree. On any spin, there is a chance of the Fortune Tree dropping special apple symbols onto the reels. Special symbols may also fall after a non-winning spin, or at the end of a tumble sequence.

The Fortune Tree boasts two types of apples, Golden and Diamond. Here’s what happens when either of these symbols falls onto the reels:

• Golden Apples – When Golden Apples fall onto the reels, they all transform into the same symbol. Up to 10 Golden Apples can fall at once, giving you a good chance of creating a winning combination.
• Diamond Apples – Diamond Apples carry multipliers of 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20, 25, 50, or 100 x your bet. Up to 3 diamond apples may land from a single Fortune Tree activation. If more than one Diamond Apple lands on the reels, the multipliers are added together and stored above the reels. At the end of the spin or tumble sequence, the total multiplier value is applied to the accumulated spin.

Free Spins Feature

Land 3 or more scatter symbols in the base game and you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature. The amount of free spins you receive depends on how many scatters contributed to triggering the round. Collect 3, 4, or 5 Free Spins scatters, and you’ll be rewarded with 10, 12, or 15 free spins, respectively.

The free spins round works in the same way as the base game, although the Fortune Tree drops apples much more frequently. This allows you to rack up some high multiplier values, and big wins. You can also retrigger the free spins round by landing 3 more scatter symbols. This gives you 5 more free games.

Feature Buy Feature

Don’t want to wait around for the Fortune Tree or the Free Spins features? Use the Feature Buy button to boost your gameplay. Buy a spin with 5 or more Golden apples for 5 x your stake, a spin with 1 or more Diamond apples for 15 x your stake, or entry to the free spins round for 70 x your stake. Do note, however, that these options are not available to UK players.

Happy Apples Slot Review Summary – cute doesn’t always mean calm

The Happy Apples slot is a stunning game, with beautiful graphics and a unique theme. It won’t be to everyones tastes, but if you’re a fan of cute titles like Starlight Princess or the ever popular Fluffy Favourites, then this release is well worth a spin.

That said, in terms of gameplay Happy Apples is much less sweet. The game is very volatile, which gives you some decent action when the wins start coming in. Collecting Diamond apple symbols through a tumble sequence is the key to bigger payouts. As the multipliers accumulate, this is your best chance at hitting the 6,186.5 x max win limit.

To conclude, the Happy Apples slot is relatively fun and rewarding. It’s not going to blow your socks off by any means, as it doesn’t boast interesting bonus features or huge payouts, but fans of aesthetically pleasing games will be impressed.
