Fruit Slots

The Fruit Slots are Microgaming's homage to the popular European fruit machines. Unlike the classic original fruit slots, though, the Fruit Slots slot machine does away with the clunky reels and lame prizes and replaces them with crystal clear spin graphics, festive animations and a top prize worth up to $12,500. In other words, this isn't your grandfather's fruit slot!

If you've played classic fruit slots before, then the Fruit Slots online slots will look pretty familiar. They've got the usual three reels and one payline and a max bet of three coins. One obvious improvement made by the online Fruit slots slot machine, though, is that you won't have to hunt down the denomination you want to play. Instead, you can cycle your bet between a quarter and $5 a credit and can bet anywhere from one to three coins.

Fruit Slots Review

In order from least to most valuable, every Fruit Slots casino's festive symbols include: cherries, lemons, oranges, plums watermelon, bars and fruit salad. While most jackpots are tied to a game's wilds, the Fruit Slots slot machine differs because it has no wilds. On the upside, the fruit salad symbol does provide payouts for only one or two symbols on a payline (15 and 75 credits respectively). On the downside, the Fruit Slots online slots are still devoid of any sort of wild, multiplier, scatter, bonus or progressive. They don't even offer any fruit or any bar combinations, making it a little too hard to maintain your balance for long.

If you're still willing to take the plunge and try out a Fruit Slots casino, then here are a couple important pointers. Betting max may not seem necessary since all but the top payout are multiplied by the same amount per coin, but at a Fruit Slots slot machine betting max really supersizes the jackpot – taking it from just 500 coins for playing two coins to 2500 coins for pitching in a third. Also, remember that two symbols may be visible on a reel at any time, but only those symbols that are centered on the payline will pay out.

We like the look and feel of Microgaming's Fruit slots online slots, but the low payout percentage and lack of variety leaves a sour taste in our mouths. See for yourself at sites like the Ladbrokes and River Belle online casinos. We rate the game 8 out of 10.
