Special Features of Super Cherry
What sets Super Cherry apart from standard fruit slots is the range of bonus mechanics that can activate on nearly every spin. Here's a complete breakdown:
Hold & Step Feature
When 2 matching symbols land on the payline, either Hold or Step activates at random. During Hold, the remaining reel re-spins. During Step, the third reel nudges forward until a winning combination forms — guaranteed win!
Cherry Step Feature
If a cherry appears during the Step Feature instead of the missing symbol, the Cherry Step Feature triggers. The reels automatically form a cherry combination worth x20 the bet. Only activates when the other two symbols are neither BAR nor Bell.
Star Feature — 5 Bonus Games
When 3 stars appear anywhere on the visible positions, the Star Feature activates and randomly launches one of 5 bonus games. If all 3 stars land on the payline, you also receive an instant x100 payout.
| Bonus Game | Mechanic | Win Potential |
|---|---|---|
| 2x Shuffle | 2 re-spins with guaranteed wins | Medium |
| 4x Shuffle | 4 re-spins with guaranteed wins | High |
| Fruit Stop | Reels spin again, random symbol becomes the winning combo | Medium |
| Cherry Pot | Internal jackpot — accumulated via visible cherries (1/20 of bet) | Variable |
| Cherry Collect | 7/10/15 steps — collect cherries for multipliers (x5, x10, x10, x100, x5,000) | Very High |
Gamble Feature
- Gamble 2x: Double your win — or lose it all.
- Gamble Mystery: Random multiplier of x0, x2, x3, or x5.
- Gamble Split: Risk only a portion of your winnings.
- Up to 10 gamble rounds per win, capped at x500 the bet.

While every spin is entirely random, experienced players can optimize their sessions through smart decision-making.
Essential Tips
- Manage your bet: Start with small wagers (C$0.10–1.00) to get comfortable with the features.
- Use Gamble wisely: Only use Gamble 2x on smaller wins. For larger payouts, consider Gamble Split or skip it altogether.
- Watch the Cherry Pot: Every visible cherry adds 1/20 of your bet to the internal pot. The fuller it gets, the more rewarding the Star Feature becomes.
- Pick your version: Super Cherry 1000 for longer sessions, 5000 for maximum win potential.
