Play Fruit Bonanza for Free

This is a 9 line slot, and you can choose any number you wish. Note that the super-jackpot involves lining up all the symbols on line 9, so it does make sense to choose them all. The coin value was fixed at 10c on the version I played, with up to 5 coins possible and 9 lines. This make the spin costs range from 50c to $4.50c. You can select auto-play, which lets you choose spins and configure options on when to stop them.

Of the regular symbols, the blue 7 pays the best. This is worth 3500 coins for 5 and 350 for 4 on a line. Next is the bell (2000 coins for 5), horse shoe (1500), clover (1000) and pineapple (800). The strawberry, orange and cherries make up the smaller wins.

Scatters are in play, and let you win a multiple of your total bet. This is up to 400x for 5 anywhere on the reels. The remaining symbol is the basket of fruit (it looks a little like a pipe with fruit bursting out of the end). This is the jackpot symbol and can win you one of the progressives (if you choose max coins), or a big prize if now. To win the super jackpot, you’ll need to line up all 5 of these on the 9th win line. The ‘Bonanza Jackpot’ is for 5 on any line with the smaller jackpots for 4 and 3 on any line.

The cat is the scatter symbol, and can bring you a windfall of 300x your total spin amount if you get 5 anywhere on the reels. 4 will bring a respectable 30x your total bet. 3 or more cats bring you the free spins feature. The final symbol says ‘bonus’, 3 of these will trigger the fortune teller pick-em game.

This is one for the purists, with only the jackpots really appealing. While I appreciate the careful reproduction of a mechanical slot, it is not really a game that I return to on that basis alone. The chance of a big win and solid lower intensity game-play are the only factors that appeal. If you’d like to see just how well Play N Go recreated a mechanical game, then why not check this game out for yourself.
