The Wombat says: Bright and basic like the Jewel Strike slot– that’s the first thing you think of when you fire up the Fruit Shop slot from NetEnt.
This wombat likes bright, and basic is no bad thing either! Nowadays with all these multilevel games it’s nice to have a slot with simple gameplay and some decent payouts – both the of which Fruit Shop has in abundance -it reminds us of the Stickers slot in many ways- also from NetEnt.
Set on a Fruit Shop stand, your mouth will be watering as you feast your eyes on juicy oranges, luscious lemons, wonderful watermelons, perfect plums and cheeky cherries.
It’s a colour feast on par with the Hong Kong Tower slot machine (but that’s all about light shows). Let’s see if we can get you your 5-a-day Wombat Fans!
Fruit Shop Slot Game Play
Fruit Shop slot has five reels, three rows and 15 paylines. Your juicy symbols on the reels are made up of the 10, J, Q, K and A playing card icons as your low value fruit, while the more lucrative symbols (low hanging fruit?) come in the shape of the watermelon, orange, lemon, plum and cherry.
The cheeky cherry symbol is your highest paying symbol giving you 133x your bet for five in a row, then it’s the plum which will scoop you 66x your bet for five on a payline. Juicy!
The Fruit Shop logo is the Wild symbol in this game and does the usual job of substituting for all of the other symbols on the reels.
But that’s not all folks! When the Wild shows up on a winning pay line it will double your winnings, thanks to th 2x multiplier. And, during the Free Spins bonus games, these little beauties will quadruple your winnings by adding a 4x multiplier to each win! Thanks NetEnt!
Free Spins Feature
This is the Fruit Shop key feature. You don’t need scatter symbols to trigger free spins. Landing a win with any fruit symbol on a payline triggers the freebies.
This can make the bonus game easier than in rival slots! Take a look:
– 3, 4 or 5 Watermelons on a payline gets you 1, 2 or 5 Free Spins
– 3, 4 or 5 Oranges on a payline gets you 1, 2 or 5 Free Spins
– 3, 4 or 5 Lemons on a payline gets you 1, 2 or 5 free spins
– 3, 4 or 5 Plums on a payline gets you 1, 2 or 5 free spins
– 2, 3, 4 or 5 Cherries on a payline gets you 1, 2 or 5 free spins.
Oh, and as an extra nice touch from the game makers, the low paying symbols (10, J, Q, K & A) – will give you five Free Spins if you land a five in a row of any of them!

If you prefer to play your slots on the move, then you are covered – there is a decent mobile version of this game. It’s fully optimised for latest tablet and smartphone devices.
