Fruit Mania Slots
If you’ve never played a Slotland casino game before, you’re in for a real treat by choosing Fruit Mania to be your first experience of the brand. They’ve done quite a few slot machines in their time, but this is arguably one of their best retro renditions.
Players won’t get extravagant designs here, they’ll just get back to basics, with the bright allure of luminous lights being more than attractive enough to peak your curiosity. And as for the features, they’re more limited than modern games, but no less rewarding. In fact you could argue they’re more fulfilling because of the age of the title, and how stripped back your experience in Fruit Mania is.
Think of this 5 reels online activity as an untapped, unrefined source of entertainment - it has oodles of potential and it will amuse you during your play through, but it has raw edges and lacks finishing touches that would make it an instant hit. Even though this is aimed at nostalgic players, those who live and play in the now can still find enough goodies inside this Slotland title. All they need to do is look deep enough.
Fruit Everywhere!
Given the name of the game, we expected there to be a different theme in place to the one that loaded up, sure there’s a lot of fruit on the matrix, but not how we’d envisioned. We were expecting fruits with faces, which probably says more about us than it does Slotland, but nevermind, what we got was just as cool. If not as funny or creepy.
If you’ve played other activities by the company, such as Double Luck, you’ll know that the symbols they use are beloved retro images of sweet cherries, bitter lemons, and succulent blueberries. But here there’s a flaming hot 7, a tolling bell, and a branded BAR tile, the latter of which gifts the jackpot. Three BARs will get you 100 credits, four will increase it to 500, and five of them will have you sizzling with 1,500. This jackpot has one condition though, and that is that you need a minimum bet of €10, which may not be doable for gamers with a limited budget.
Not all the activity is on the grid itself, for there’s a feature metre on the right hand side that needs filling; each section heralds in a different prize, all of them excellent both standalone or combined. To begin moving up the ladder, you need to find level up symbols on any of the winlines, as this happens the sections within the metre will become illuminated. Should you manage to fill every single one of the 14 segments, you will activate the Fruit Mania Feature. This will mean that winning lines can be any of the fruits, literally any matches, which will result in lots of coins, between 15 and 225 of them. For the top figure you need to match the lemon, cherry, orange, blueberry and cherry again.
Utter Mania
The betting system is easy peasy, with the lines widgets dictating themselves and the bet amount; basically when you increase or decrease the winlines, the stake value will also change. Every line you have activated will have 1 credit on it, meaning your highest wager can be 15 credits.
Customers can skip all the clicking and merely tap the Max Bet toggle and have the reels set themselves into motion, taking a lot of the effort out of playing. Seeing as the settings are hassle free already, the maximum bet option seems unnecessary, but it may prove handy to some users out there.
Health Kick on the Decline
It’ll probably happen to you, too – you’ll get sucked into Fruit Mania and want to eat up all the fruit, but after a couple of tries you’ll soon be back to eating regular junk food with the rest of us. That’s just the shelflife of the title. It isn’t that the game won’t span the years because it will, it has, but it’s down to new players searching for it and a few chosen loyals returning again and again.
Slotland have a lot to offer, so if this has given you the slot machine bug and you’re gagging for more, why not try Jewels of the Ancient for some exploration or Greatest Hits?
