By Simon Wright, Last updated Mar 1, 2021

Australian game developer Big Time Gaming has announced the go live date for their latest slot Opal Fruits, with Big Time Gaming’s CEO Nik Robinson exclaiming: “This game is a lot of fun.”

Robinson also went on to say: “We have achieved a new level of player retention with Opal Fruits.  Triple Reaction™ brings a brand new fun factor, doubling down on what we have achieved with our monster hits, Bonanza, Extra Chilli and Who Wants to be a Millionaire?  The game has a simpler learning curve than our Megaways™ titles and at just 10p per spin, players could have hours of fun with just a £10 deposit.”

The date marked down for the slots release is May 29th and it’s launch is also going to see slot streamer LetsGiveItASpin aka Kim Hultman giving Opal Fruits it’s first real money spin, via the Casino Grounds website.

Opal Fruits will feature a a new highly innovative mechanic, Triple Reaction™. Triple Reaction™ enables spins and reactions in three directions with two opposite directional horizontal reels, as well as six reels that spin down the center of the reel grid.

The game enables the unexpected and combines the feel of Extra Chilli and Bonanza into a much less complex format with higher average symbol density.  The free games also have a sweet twist as retriggers are accomplished as the free games multiplier rises.

This is a win-win for players as the more the multiplier goes up, the more free spins are awarded and the higher the multiplier goes up…on repeat.  Opal Fruits is set in the center of the universe where gravity is rotating all of the player’s favourite fruit around the reels.

Pears, Plums, Melons and Purple Grapes spin to a highly charged digital soundtrack. When patterns emerge, BTG has spared no expense in the production of the most illuminating light show ever seen in an online slot.  It’s also toe-tappy as everything spins along to the beat a Daft Punk-esque soundtrack; the stopping of the reels, the explosions, and drops of the symbols all keep time.

The auto spin works like a DJ syncing up the reel spins in perfect time with the sound loops whilst the glittering eye candy and motion graphics punctuate the wins perfectly.

Opal Fruits uses classic samples from games such as Defender and Robotron 2084 and mixes it with BTG’s state-of-the-art OMNI graphics engine and visionary thinking from the developer’s maths department.

In doing this, the thought leaders in slot development have created the perfect recipe for what will most likely be the sweetest slot release in 2019.

Opal Fruits will be launching exclusively on 29^th May on the Scientific Games network and later on Relax and Microgaming.  Dylan Slaney, SVP Casino at SG Digital, said: “Opal Fruits shows a new level of detail that is a welcome addition to our market-leading content aggregation platform. Big Time Gaming is a key partner for Scientific Games and we are delighted to be launching Opal Fruits exclusively on our platform.”
