The game is set across five reels and three rows with 20 paylines active in the base game, offering smooth spins and fast-paced wins.

Players strap in and hold tight as the reels fire up and spin, with some high value symbols in play.

This includes fiery Red Seven that plays as the Wild, substituting for all other symbols to secure additional win combos and boost prizes.

Then there’s the Golden Scatter which shines from any position, delivering those out of this world wins that players are looking for – the max win potential for Stellar Fruits 20 is 1,000x.

Stellar Fruits 20 is the second game in the series and follows Stellar Fruits 40, which launched last month. There are four games in the series in total, with Stellar Fruits and Stellar Fruits 100 to come.

The main difference between each game is the number of paylines, which vary from 5 all the way up to 100 and impact the max win hit frequency of each title.

Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “With Stellar Fruits 20, we’re taking players on another journey through our signature universe, this time with a faster-paced twist on the gameplay they already love.
“Stellar Fruits 40 showed us there’s strong appetite for classic-style slots with a modern edge and now we’re offering a version tailored for players who prefer an even more focused experience.

“This is just the next step in growing a series designed to entertain different player styles, and we’re excited to see where it takes us next.”

ICONIC21 has established itself as a leading iGaming content provider after recently expanding its offering beyond its core live game portfolio to include slots, crash, promo tools and more.

This has seen the provider pick up five nominations at the up-coming EGR B2B Awards.
