Play Fruit Machine 27 for Free

In spite of Fruit Machine 27’s maximum number of active paylines, the game’s betting mechanics do not differ from any of Kajot’s other slot machine titles such as the Fly for Gold slot. By that we mean that bets are calculated by spin rather than per line and players are able to wager anywhere between 10 and 1,000 each turn.

Payouts in the game range from a straight money-back win for matching three cherries to a whopping great 40x your stake for finding a joker symbol on each reel. Additionally, the number of paylines on offer means your prize will usually mount up as most spins result in multiple matches.

There is also one additional bonus payout that is hidden in Fruit Machine 27, and that is triggered in the rare event that nine identical symbols (or substitute jokers) fill the entire gameboard. When this occurs, all 27 paylines will be totted up and the final payout will be doubled to create a huge win.

Needless to say, there are no real surprises when it comes to the symbols utilised in Fruit Machine 27. All the classic fruit icons are there, running lowest to highest from cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, watermelons and grapes. The Kajot joker logo completes the line-up, resulting in a very simple collection of just seven different icons in total.

Though the subject matter may not be particularly groundbreaking, Fruit Machine has a nice retro feel to it, with both the slot’s tropical blue background and the symbols themselves having a sort of neon sign design and the winning animations featuring expanding symbols and bursting bubbles.

Keeping with the classic theme, all of the sound effects used in Fruit Machine 27 have been lifted from the audio banks of actual Las Vegas slot machines, with various clicks, pops and whirs making it feel like you were right there playing the game in a real money casino.

Perhaps the only unique aspect of Fruit Machine 27 is the function of the game’s joker symbols, which not only substitute for any other symbol to complete winning paylines, but also contribute towards a multiplier metre for subsequent wins, no fancy features such as cascading reels here, only old school symbols which have functions added.

Located at the top right of the screen in a golden bubble, the multiplier metre begins at a default 1x level and increases by one every time a joker symbol appears. The multiplier metre builds up until a winning payline is triggered, at which point the current level is applied to all payouts for the round and the metre is reset to 1x (unless there are any joker symbols present on the reels at the time).

This allows players to significantly boost their winnings and creates an interesting dynamic in which you’re almost rooting to go on a barren run for a few spins so you can increase your multiplier metre and reap the rewards later on. Additionally, all winnings can be gambled in the classic red or black pick game, with the blue insurance symbol sometimes appearing to ensure that you don’t lose it all.

All in all, Fruit Machine 27 is a game for slot purists who enjoy the simplicity of early games without all the fuss of bonus rounds and additional features. Despite its basic premise, however, the game does excel thanks to its multiplier metre – which creates plenty of opportunities for players to net big prize payouts – and the winning slot combination of few symbols and plenty of paylines.
