Play Fruit-O-Matic for Free

Fruit-O-Matic frees up a lot of screen space for the reels themselves. Instead of a complex 3D background, players will enjoy a simple view of a blue and almost cloudless sky, with colourful sunbeams radiating from behind the reels. The command buttons have been kept to a minimum, giving you the impression to float into the sky and slowly drift away as you spin the reels.

That being said, Fruit-O-Matic is far from being the most impressive slot game out there in terms of looks. But unlike with most old-school slots, the developers did spend a little time to create a more original and light design. We enjoyed the separate settings menu, thanks to which the team could get rid of the usual bulky command bar altogether.

The 5 reels of Fruit-O-Matic support 40 paylines in total, with an impressive betting range: from 0.40 to 80.00 credits per turn maximum. High rollers and risk takers will be able to go all-in and make each spin more thrilling than the last. Turn on the autoplay game mode to keep Fruit-O-Matic going with the same wager over and over again, and see what comes your way.

Fruit-O-Matic sticks to an average variance from start to finish. As a result, players will get equal chances to win any prize on the paytable whenever the spin the reels. As for the symbol list itself, it is of course filled with fruits symbols such as cherries or grapes, with a top prize worth 2500 times your current bet. This alone is a very sizeable jackpot, and Fruit-O-Matic has a few helpful features to help you grab it.

The two special symbols of Fruit-O-Matic are both classics, but with a little twist. Instead of a regular wild, for example, you get a tropical bird that can fly from whichever position it lands on to replace another symbol on the reels. The bird will always choose the most profitable position, whenever possible, making it even more likely for you to score a big win whenever it appears.

Free spin scatters can initiate the free spin mode, with a random special feature on top. You can get secret symbols that will be revealed at the very end to increase your chances to hit a big prize, or new wilds with multipliers going up to x7 attached to them. Lastly, stacked wilds can also show up during the free games. With a little luck, they might even several entire reels all at once.

Slot games with fruit symbols are probably the most common of all on the market. Be it online or in land-based casinos, chances are that you will stumble upon quite a lot of them. You might be able to find some original ones such as Atomic Fruit by Electracade or the very fun Call Of Fruity from Barcrest, but most of these games stick to very classic settings all the way through.

Golden Lemon from Roundstone is even more specific. The game focus on one single yellow fruit, with a small set of 9 paylines to deal with. That being said, the very low volatility makes it even more dynamic than Fruit-O-Matic. Players will, however, immediately notice the lack of bonus features there.

Fruit-O-Matic takes the classic fruit machine theme and innovates a little bit. By adding original bonuses and polishing up the graphics, the Fuga Gaming team has succeeded in making Fruit-O-Matic feel more modern than most of the competition on this particular segment of the market. This might sound like a detail, but competition can be very fierce when it comes to fruit slot machines.

The bonus features and the high payouts are what makes Fruit-O-Matic worth a try, from a more practical point of view. We had a good time trying out the game, but we are still not quite sure that Fruit-O-Matic will stay memorable after a little while. A more eye-catching feature such as a progressive jackpot would have probably helped in that department.
