Play Fruit Slot for Free

From the title of this Octopus Gaming slot machine, you might well think that this game is just another one of those standard sets of retro reels with the same old simplistic fruit icons. And you would be mistaken. Because, this video slot actually breaks the mould by spinning up some uniquely designed fruit icons. For a start, there are some untraditional fruits on show, such as pears, peaches, apples, kiwis, bananas and pineapples as well as a few familiar fruits from the arcade slot machine archive such as cherries, plums, lemons and pineapples.

However, the biggest different that this slot machine offers from the usual fruit themed game is in the design and artwork itself. Rather than opting for the conventional chunky blocks of 2D fruit symbols, this game's designers have illustrated each fruit as artistic sketches to reveal some deliciously dynamic and vibrant images. It all a bit like a still life drawing except, of course, for the fact that the images won't remain still as you spin the reels...

Before you go ahead and start spinning this fruity number, you will have to make sure you are satisfied with the paylines in play and the bets that are placed. Punters can choose to lay down any number of paylines between 1 and 25 while the stake per line options are as follows: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 3.00 and 5.00 credits. As such, spinners of all strategy and experience levels have plenty of room for manoeuvre when it comes to finding the right bet permutation to suit their needs.

All of the wins in the base game will come from lining up matched icons upon active paylines from the first reel on the left and moving to the right. In such cases, a multiplier value will be awarded to the stake on the winning line, depending on how many of which symbol is involved. So, for example, a row of five plums on a payline will pay a prize that is 40x the size of the line bet while five grape icons will award 5,000x. You can see all of the different winning combinations and their respective line bet multipliers in the table below:

On top of those standard wins, players of Fruit Slot can benefit from a few simple yet effective bonus gameplay elements. First of all, players can earn some free spins by picking three or more bunches of cherries from the slot in any reel position. In fact, three of these cherry scatters will award 10 free spins, four will give 20 free spins and five will offer 30 free spins.

Players can also take home some sweet bonus wins by finding three or more pineapple bonus symbols on an active payline. Depending on how many pineapples are aligned, players will win a random bonus prize from 24 to 2,000 credits, like so:

Last, but by no means least, is a wild symbol – depicted by the Lemon icon – which will complete line wins for all icons except for the scattered cherries and bonus pineapples. This special feature could be the decisive factor that helps you get your five-a-day line win of fresh fruits.

Fruit Slot is a crafty little slot machine by Octopus Gaming which offers a fruit themed set of 5-reels which are artistically designed and a pleasure to spin. As far as video slot machines go, this game isn't going to blow you away with any huge bonus features, but it will still award some free spins and a few bonus wins if you spin it in the right way – which is never a bad thing.
