Fruit Spin Slot

Graphics

When describing the fruits on display as Fruit Spin’s low-paying symbols, it would be fair to use the word “zhuzhed”. The fruits of the game’s name aren’t so much yummy and juicy as shiny and glittering. They are, though, only low-paying symbols, resplendent looking as they are.

The high-paying symbol honours go to gold, silver and bronze BARs, with a BAR 7 sitting at the top of the table as Fruit Spin’s top payer.

All our game symbols appear stacked - in part to fill the four rows to which we are treated, but also to deliver greater prospects of base game wins. There is no base game Wild, you see. The Wilds are reserved for the Free Spins bonus feature.

Gameplay

To trigger the Free Spins bonus game we must first land any part of a 3x3 Lucky Wheels symbol. But free spins aren’t necessarily guaranteed.

The Lucky Wheels are adorned with coin wins with values of 20, 40 or 80 coins. At the very least, then, we can expect a coin win of 60 coins when we trigger the Lucky Wheels. But our real aim is to land three Free Spins Gems, for doing so will trigger five free spins.

Landing our 3x3 Scatter again will afford the opportunity to land extra spins to top up our initial five. We also now have access to a 3x3 Wild overlay on reels 2, 3 and 4. Land the whole of this grid and we are looking at Wild wins of epic proportions.

Verdict

NetEnt has taken classic slots fruits and given them a modern spruce, accompanied by tried and tested BARs and 7s that have been slots staples since the dawn of time.

The lack of base game Wilds might be an initial put off, as might the seemingly tight five free spins on offer when we trigger the bonus game. But the four rows, stacked symbols and 40 paylines make sure the base game has plenty going for it, while the free spins game with added Wild action and our retriggering possibilities do plenty to put this slot right where it needs to be.
