Fruit Shop Slot
Fruit Shop is a fruity ensemble provided by Net Entertainment. This fruit cocktail offers juicy wins of up to 80,000 coins or 2,000x your line stake. The free spins trigger in various ways, and although the number of spins awarded is low, the chance of re-triggers is good.
Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols
The obvious theme of Fruit Shop is a fruit, fruit, and more fruit! It is a refreshing take on traditional fruit machines, providing video slot action instead of the classic gameplay. The colourful game design is visually attractive, though it is still way below what we have come to expect from NetEnt graphics.
The reels are placed within a fruit kiosk background in the countryside. The reels roll with no music accompaniment until the free spins kick in. Then an upbeat and racy tune presides over the reel rolls. The beeps and clicks in the base game are quite generic and sound like classic slot games from years past.
The game symbols are, of course, represented by various fruits. These include cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, and watermelons. The lower-value symbols include card deck symbols (10, J, Q, K, and A) which are not very innovative. Quite honestly, the game maker could have included a far greater variety of fruits to complete the symbol cast.
Fruit Shop logo is the Wild symbol in the game. It will substitute for all symbols to help complete a winning combination. Any win supported by the Wild will be doubled and applied immediately to your bankroll.
Game Mechanics
Fruit Shop is played over a 5-reel roller set containing 15 pay lines. Wins are made with 3 or more symbol matches from left to the right on a single pay line. Cherries will, however, begin to pay from combinations of two or more on a pay line.
The game has medium volatility, with an RTP of 96.7%. Wins can be expected fairly often and be on the moderate side, but a line of 5 cherries will pay 2,000 times your line bet. On a maximum bet that will yield you €20,000.
Set the machine to AutoPlay, and the reels will automatically roll between 10 and 1,000 pre-set spins while you keep yourself busy with something else.
Special Features
Fruit Shop has only one special feature, a free spin round, but it can be triggered in several ways. To activate the free spins feature, you will need to land fruit symbol combinations on the reels in the following ways:
- Watermelon: 3, 4 or 5 on a payline wins 1, 2 or 5 free spins
- Orange : 3, 4 or 5 on a payline wins 1, 2 or 5 free spins
- Lemon: 3, 4 or 5 on a payline wins 1, 2 or 5 free spins
- Plum: 3, 4 or 5 on a payline wins 1, 2 or 5 free spins
- Cherry: 2, 3, 4 or 5 on a payline wins 1, 1, 2 or 5 free spins.
The game can also be re-triggered if you land any further winning combinations, including those made by card deck symbols. Symbol matches between 3 (or 2 cherries) and five can add between 1 and five more spins to the tally.
