Spinning Fruits Slots
With a name like Spinning Fruits, it's quite obvious what kind of theme this Novomatic slot machine is going to offer to its players. Indeed, the 5-reel game is all about the classic fruit machine symbols that every seasoned gambler is accustomed to.
However, the game does throw up a few surprises. Most notable is the fact that the game doesn't play with any normal paylines but instead it simply offers scattered pays for all of its symbols. What's more, there is a chance for spinners to rack up some free spins and even unleash some progressive jackpot bounties if they spin the reels right.
Glowing fruits
At first glance, you may be thinking that Spinning Fruits is just another 5-reel Novomatic slot machine which offers some retro fruit based action. Well, in terms of design, you would be absolutely right, because all of the icons in this game are taken straight from the traditional arcade catalogue with cherries, oranges, lemons, plums, grapes, watermelons and a big red 7. All of these icons will be spun into various formations upon the 5x3 reel grid, each one appearing with a neon glow and glossy appearance. You can't fault this slot machine for being dull when it comes to the quality of the aesthetic!
Pays in every way possible
Spinning Fruits may appear to be a normal retro-style video slot but, in actual fact, this 5-reel game offers some very unique gameplay. That is because every symbol featured in the game acts as a scatter symbol, paying prizes when they appear on the reels regardless of their positions in relation to other matching symbols or paylines. In fact, whenever five more more identical icons appear on the reels at any one time, a prize will be given.
These prizes steadily rise in size in relation to the bets that are placed, that is until spinners find a full house of 15 matched symbols which will award one of three progressive jackpots.
Jackpot wins
Even though Spinning Fruits doesn't technically have any paylines, it still takes wagers as bet per line values. These bets per line range from as little as 4 credits and go up to 1,000 credits, with each wager per line multiplied by 10x – this is simply a nominal multiplier which it put in place by the game-makers to account for the fact that there are so many different ways to win.
As such, all of the scatter wins in this slot machine are calculated by multiplying the “Bet/Line” value with the following payout multipliers:
Players should note that the size of the progressive jackpots on offer are corresponding with the size of the total stake. So, the more money you pay in, the bigger jackpots you can hope to win.
A little bonus boost
Since all of the symbols in this fruit themed slot machine pay as scatters, there isn't any particular scatter symbol which awards free spins or bonus side games. However, players will be given 1 free spin anytime that they find seven or more matching icons upon the reels. This gives spinners the chance to have another go at finding scattered pays without having to spend a penny in wagers. What's more, these single free spins can be retriggered during any free spin that is awarded.
Gamble your way to the top
Let's face it, the chances of winning those progressive jackpots are quite slim, and you will need all the luck you can muster to find that grand jackpot of 15 matching 7s. As such, spinners may have to settle for smaller yet more frequent prizes. However, every small win can be boosted with a special 50/50 gamble game, offering players the chance to double their wins in a series of gambles up to a maximum gamble jackpot that is worth 1,000x the value of their total stake.
This gamble game differs from the usual “guess the card colour” format. Instead, punters will be presented with a ladder leading up to the ultimate gamble jackpot, with the bottom step flashing a light on and off. Players simply have to click the “Gamble” button and light up the step to double their win and move on to the next step of the ladder. Every time that a step fails to light up, the original win any subsequent gamble wins will be lost.
A fruit machine with a twist
If you're a fan of simple fruit machine games but are bored of the usual gameplay format, then you can't go wrong with a few spins of Spinning Fruits by Novomatic. Despite offering all of the usual retro slot symbols, this game provides some unique and exciting spins in which every icon pays as a scatter. Plus, if you are lucky enough to find a full house of any symbol then you will be treated to a share of the progressive jackpot kitty.
