Juicy Fruits - the Rules, Five Crown Sizes and a Retrigger Ladder
Verdict first - a 5x5 line game with a crown wild in five sizes and one free spins round that grows the crown with every third scatter collected. The retrigger count is the whole story. RTP 96.51% printed on page four of the rules, in three modes. Max win 5,000x printed as a limit that ends the round. Bet 0.25-150.00 in the dollar copy on file. What follows is the build's own text, read off the archived rules screens of the public Pragmatic Play demo we logged and priced at the 2.00 our session ran.
How a spin pays
Five reels, five rows, fifty fixed lines. Symbols pay left to right on adjacent reels from the first one, highest win per line only, all paying lines added. Eleven regular paying symbols, a seven, a bell and nine fruits, plus a crown wild that pays as the seven and a diamond scatter. The crown substitutes for everything except the diamond. The diamond pays nothing on its own and opens the free spins at three or more, anywhere.
The archived rules screens print the paytable at a 2.50 total bet. The table below scales it to the 2.00 our session ran. In practice the frames confirm the arithmetic. A line of three plums paid 0.64, a line of four sevens paid 10.00.
| Symbol | Three of a kind at 2.00 | Four | Five | Five, in bets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seven | 2.00 | 10.00 | 48.00 | 24x |
| Crown wild, as a line of its own | 2.00 | 10.00 | 48.00 | 24x |
| Watermelon | 1.44 | 8.00 | 30.00 | 15x |
| Raspberry | 0.96 | 6.00 | 20.00 | 10x |
| Kiwi | 0.80 | 3.20 | 12.00 | 6x |
| Strawberry | 0.64 | 1.60 | 6.00 | 3x |
| Bell | 0.64 | 1.60 | 6.00 | 3x |
| Plum | 0.64 | 1.60 | 6.00 | 3x |
| Orange | 0.40 | 0.96 | 4.00 | 2x |
| Lemon | 0.40 | 0.96 | 4.00 | 2x |
| Cherry | 0.40 | 0.96 | 4.00 | 2x |
| Lime | 0.40 | 0.96 | 4.00 | 2x |
Ten of the eleven paying symbols return less than the stake for three of a kind. Only the seven returns exactly the stake. Four low fruits share one pay rate and three mid symbols share another. The paytable sets the size of a win, not how often one lands - in the portal session 627 of 2,684 spins paid from the base game, and 389 of those paid less than the 2.00 staked. Compare 777 Coins, where every line pay clears the stake and the base game paid on 9.3% of the spins in its portal log, against 23.36% here. Different design, different hit count, and the paytable alone predicts neither.
The crown, in five sizes
In the base game the crown can hit as a 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 or 5x5 block. The screens say the sizes exist and stop there. No weights, no frequency. A 3x3 block in the centre of the grid completes lines on three reels at once, and that is where the base game's upside lives. In the portal log the eight largest base-game spins, 125.76-179.60 at 2.00, were all 3x3 blocks, checked in the frames. None of those eight wins showed a 4x4 or 5x5 block. Unverified beyond those eight spins.
Free spins, retrigger by retrigger
Three or more diamonds anywhere start six free spins. A 1x1 crown is on the grid from the first free spin and moves to a random position on every spin. Every diamond that lands in the round is collected. Every third one collected retriggers the round, a random one to three extra spins, and grows the crown one size, 2x2, then 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5. After the fourth retrigger the round cannot retrigger again, so the crown tops out at 5x5 and the round at eighteen spins from a three-diamond start. Four diamonds on the trigger start the round with one collected, five with two. Special reels are in play during the round, in the screen's words, with no further description. The round is credited as one payment when the last free spin stops.
The portal log ran twelve rounds. One retrigger left the crown at 2x2 and the round at 10.00x in three cases and 20.04x in one. Two retriggers reached 3x3 and paid 47.52x-241.80x across six rounds. Three retriggers reached 4x4 once and paid 1,373.56x. The fourth retrigger never came. Call it a ladder, where the rung sets the scale and the spins inside it set the rest. The sister log at juicyfruitscasino.com sits on the same ladder - ten rounds, never past the second retrigger, 10.00x-130.84x.
Ante bet, buy and the 5,000x
Two bet multipliers. At 25x the game plays normally. At 30x the chance to win free spins naturally is doubled, in the screen's words, with more scatters on the reels - a 20% surcharge per spin, 2.40 against 2.00 in the portal client. Buy Free Spins is priced at 100x the current total bet - 200.00 at our stake - and is switched off while the 30x ante bet is on.
Max win - 5,000x the bet in the base game and the free spins alike. The instant a free spins total touches 5,000x the round stops, the win is paid and the remaining spins are forfeited. A limit, printed as one. A 5x5 crown is the largest the rules allow, and neither log reached one. The largest round on file paid 1,373.56x, call it a quarter of the way.
What the screens print, and one thing they don't
Page four prints the return. The theoretical RTP of this game is 96.51%, the RTP with the ante bet is 96.51%, the RTP with a bought round is 96.51%. Minimum bet 0.25, maximum bet 150.00, in the dollar copy on file. The same page carries the fifty line patterns and, above them, the volatility meter with the line that high volatility games pay out less often but bigger. The meter read five notches on 30 July 2026, when the portal session ran. On 24 September 2026 the same public demo opened on a Medium volatility badge, and the studio's game page carries the same badge. Logged as a label change. The paytable and the free spins rule above are the July screens.
One thing the screens do not print. Four of the portal log's twelve rounds settled at exactly 20.00, ten bets, and the sister log holds one more. In the round with no retrigger the six free spins won nothing on the counter and the wallet received 20.00. Seven pages, no minimum mentioned. Unverified as a rule, consistent as a ledger.
What the build paid is what gets published. 152.84% on the portal's 2,684 paid spins, 143.47% on the two-ledger pool, both in the review, neither one a long-run rate. The 7.2 verdict in the review grades the machine, not the run.
Quick answers
Does the crown pay on its own line?
Yes. A line of crowns pays as a line of sevens - 2.00, 10.00 and 48.00 at a 2.00 stake for three, four and five.
Can the round retrigger more than four times?
No. After the fourth retrigger no further retriggers are awarded, and the remaining free spins play out unless the 5,000x limit ends the round. Eighteen spins is the most a three-diamond start can run to.
What size is the crown after two retriggers?
3x3. One retrigger makes it 2x2, three make it 4x4, four make it 5x5. The portal log stopped at 4x4, once.
Is there a minimum win for a round?
Not in the rules. In the ledgers, five of 22 logged rounds across two logs settled at exactly ten bets and none under it - a pattern, unverified as a rule.
Does the ante bet change the RTP?
Not on paper. Page four prints 96.51% for normal play, the ante bet and the buy. It changes the price per spin by a fifth and, in the screen's words, doubles the chance of winning free spins naturally.

Known limits of this page
Known limits of this page: the rules screens on file are a dollar-denominated copy at a 2.50 stake, scaled here to 2.00, so the 0.25-150.00 bet range is that copy's menu. The volatility label on the public demo changed between July and September - the label, not any printed pay. No weights for the crown's base-game sizes anywhere in the build. No minimum win printed for a round, though the ledger settled at ten bets five times. No version number in the build, so the demo on our shelf is the same public address we logged rather than a build we can prove unchanged. Free spins retrigger odds - unverified.
