NetEnt Brings Back a Classic with Fruit Shop Grand Re-Opening
NetEnt has revisited one of its most recognisable franchises, releasing Fruit Shop Grand Re-Opening — a sequel to the original 2013 title that subsequently spawned a Christmas edition, a Megaways version, and Fruit Shop Frenzy. According to a review by Bigwinboard, the new game packs in more mechanics than any previous entry in the series.
The visual setting leans into a wholesome, farmers’ market aesthetic — think fresh produce and feel-good vibes rather than the garish neon of many modern fruit machines. It’s a deliberate throwback in tone, but the feature set is anything but retro.
Grid, RTP, and Stakes
The base game runs on a 5x3 grid with 13 paylines, which can expand to a 5x6 grid with 34 paylines when features are in play. Three RTP variants are available, with the highest sitting at 96.37%. The volatility is rated high. Players can stake between $€0.20 and $€200 per spin.
Pay symbols include the standard 10-A royals alongside grapes, plums, oranges, watermelons, and cherries. Landing five matching fruit symbols pays between 10x and 50x the stake, while wilds appear on reels two through five and substitute for all regular symbols.
Key Features
The headline mechanic is the Flavor Meter, which sits beneath the reels and fills during respins and bonus spins. Every four steps on the meter triggers a multiplier, climbing from x2 to x14 in respins and from x4 to x75 in bonus spins. Reaching each new multiplier tier also awards an extra bonus spin. A Jumper Wild, available during bonus spins, can add further meter steps when it forms part of a winning combination.
Free spins are split into three tiers depending on how many Fruit Bonus scatters land: three scatters award 5 Backyard Spins on a 5x3 grid, four award 8 Garden Spins on a 5x4 grid, and five award 10 Orchard Spins on a 5x5 grid. Winning fruit combinations during free spins can extend the round by up to five additional spins.
Feature Buy Options
The Elevate Feature offers several paid shortcuts. For 70x the stake, players can buy into Backyard Spins; 100x secures Garden Spins; and 150x buys Orchard Spins directly.
