Fruit Slot
Looking for some fresh and tasty slot machine action? Fruit Slot serves up a veritable cocktail of fruity symbols upon its 5 reels and 25 paylines, putting a whole new twist on the conventional “fruit machine” game genre. In fact, this slot machine is far from being another classic, because it rewards players with a series of bonus features such as free spins, wild wins and a sweet pineapple bonus game. All in all, this colourful game could payout a delicious top jackpot of 25,000 credits.
A New Spin on an Old Classic
From the title of this Octopus Gaming slot machine, you might well think that this game is just another one of those standard sets of retro reels with the same old simplistic fruit icons. And you would be mistaken. Because, this video slot actually breaks the mould by spinning up some uniquely designed fruit icons. For a start, there are some untraditional fruits on show, such as pears, peaches, apples, kiwis, bananas and pineapples as well as a few familiar fruits from the arcade slot machine archive such as cherries, plums, lemons and pineapples.
However, the biggest different that this slot machine offers from the usual fruit themed game is in the design and artwork itself. Rather than opting for the conventional chunky blocks of 2D fruit symbols, this game's designers have illustrated each fruit as artistic sketches to reveal some deliciously dynamic and vibrant images. It all a bit like a still life drawing except, of course, for the fact that the images won't remain still as you spin the reels...
Get your Five-a-Day
Before you go ahead and start spinning this fruity number, you will have to make sure you are satisfied with the paylines in play and the bets that are placed. Punters can choose to lay down any number of paylines between 1 and 25 while the stake per line options are as follows: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 3.00 and 5.00 credits. As such, spinners of all strategy and experience levels have plenty of room for manoeuvre when it comes to finding the right bet permutation to suit their needs.
All of the wins in the base game will come from lining up matched icons upon active paylines from the first reel on the left and moving to the right. In such cases, a multiplier value will be awarded to the stake on the winning line, depending on how many of which symbol is involved. So, for example, a row of five plums on a payline will pay a prize that is 40x the size of the line bet while five grape icons will award 5,000x. You can see all of the different winning combinations and their respective line bet multipliers in the table below:
Pick a Bunch of Bherries for Free Spins
On top of those standard wins, players of Fruit Slot can benefit from a few simple yet effective bonus gameplay elements. First of all, players can earn some free spins by picking three or more bunches of cherries from the slot in any reel position. In fact, three of these cherry scatters will award 10 free spins, four will give 20 free spins and five will offer 30 free spins.
Players can also take home some sweet bonus wins by finding three or more pineapple bonus symbols on an active payline. Depending on how many pineapples are aligned, players will win a random bonus prize from 24 to 2,000 credits, like so:
- 3 bonus pineapples: 24 – 120 credits.
- 4 bonus pineapples: 40 – 200 credits.
- 5 bonus pineapples: 400 – 2,000 credits.
Last, but by no means least, is a wild symbol – depicted by the Lemon icon – which will complete line wins for all icons except for the scattered cherries and bonus pineapples. This special feature could be the decisive factor that helps you get your five-a-day line win of fresh fruits.
