Fruit Shop Slot Review

Fruit Shop has proven to be one of Net Entertainment’s most popular slots, even though it doesn’t look anything special at first glance. This game was released back in 2011 but is stillattracting players today.

The graphics are simple but appealing with bright colours and simple graphics full of energetic visuals. The background of the game is a kind of a fruit stand modelled on a grocer’s shop. Thegame is available to play across many platforms, including iPhone, Android and Tablets.

Fruit Shop has 5 reels with 3 rows and 15 fixed paylines and the low value symbols are the 10, J, Q, K and A. The higher value symbols are the nicely rendered fruits and they include an orange, aplum, a watermelon, a cherry and a lemon.

The wild symbol is the Fruit Shop logo and it can appear on the three middle reels, substitute for all the other symbols and also multiplies all wins by 2 in the base game and by 4 in the freespins round. The latter is a very nice touch, and one of the reasons for this game’s enduring popularity.

In Fruit Shop every time the players get a win with matching cherry symbols, they are rewarded with free spins. Although the cherry scatters must appear in a winning payline to release freespins, the good news is that you only need as little as two of them to get one free spin.

After that, for any 3 cherries, it is also one free spin. 4 of them awards 2 spins and 5 will see the players get 5 freebies. All other fruits offer 1, 2 and 5 free spins when 3, 4, or 5 of themform a payline.

All wins during free spins are doubled, making them highly sought after. Here’s the best bonus feature though: During your free spins, if you get any winning lines at all, you are awarded morefree spins and the playing card symbols now come into the equation at the same rate as the fruits.

The top paying symbol is the cherry paying 2,000x the stake for a 5 of a kind combination that guarantees the players 2.000 coins jackpot. Of course, this can be doubled if your winning lineincludes a wild, and doubled again during free spin rounds!

Most games don’t allow a wild to replace a scatter, but as basically all the symbols are scatters here – at least during the bonus game – wilds count as well. That means one cherry plus a wild ina winning line gets you your free spin from the base game.

The theoretical payout percentage for this slot machine is 96.70% and the high RTP, frequent free spins, and the maximum win of 80.000 coins (when you are max betting) make Fruit Shop a veryrewarding game. This is a medium variance game, it couldn’t be more than that given the fact there are only ten paylines.

However, the way the free spins are awarded along with the multiplier wins make this one a firm favourite. Don’t be fooled by the simple graphics, this Fruit Shop is one you will be coming backto many times.
