The Wombat says: Hankering after a taste of the good ol’ days Wombat fans? A time when slots were more simple? When they were made up of the fruit and bar symbols, and you could drink your pint while you played your pokies?
Don’t get me wrong, I love a visual feast like the King Kong Fury slot as much as the next wombat, but sometimes I like to get back to basics.
Then you’ll love Fruit Spin slot from NetEnt, those gurus behind games like the Asgardian Stones slot, Gonzo’s Quest and Planey of the Apes.
This release takes on the old fashioned fruit machine design, and adds a little sparkle to its beloved theme as well as throwing in Stacked Symbols, giant 3×3 Wilds and Lucky Wheel bonuses. Let’s take it back to the old skool…
Look and Feel
The Fruit Spin slot won’t be winning any awards in the design stakes, but it gets job done with its colourful graphics with a soothing uptempo soundtrack. It’s still way ahead of games like the Danger! High Voltage slot on the design front, but let’s get one thing straight- this is an out and out fruity.
Your fruit/gemstone brooches (we’re not sure what they are exactly, but they look like something Nana Wombat has in her jewellery box) are sat on a transparent reel thats spin against a backdrop of blue diamonds. And that’s about it.
Fruit Spin Slot Game Play
Fruit Spin is a 5 reel, 4 row and 40 payline slot from NetEnt, and your bets start from between 20p and £200 per spin. Your symbols on the reels are made up of the standard slot icons and include; juicy blackberries, luscious limes, ripe raspberries, sunny oranges and tasty cherries as your low value symbols, alongside the Lucky 7 bar combo, triple gold bars, double silver bars and bronze single bars, as your higher value icons.
The lucky 7 bar will pay out 15, 60 or 300 coins for landing 3x, 4x or 5x on of them on any of the slot’s paylines. And a quick FYI: All the standard symbols in the game can appear stacked on the reels.
The wild symbol in Fruit Spin slot is the big green ‘Wild’ icon. This little beauty will substitute for all symbols on your fruity reels to help you make up more winning combos. The Scatter in this game is red ruby symbol – keep your eyes peeled for it.
Lucky Wheel Bonus and Free Spins
This cool little bonus is triggered by landing 1x or more rows of the ruby red Scatters symbols anywhere on the reels. Next you’ll get a the chance to spin the Lucky Wheel (1 spin per Scatter symbol) where you will scoop will either a cash prize or a Free Spins icon.
If you manage to collect 3x of the Free Spin icons, then you’ll set off the Free Spins! 5 extra goes will be yours and you can re-trigger this round again by landing more scatter symbols during play. Plus, the Free Spins symbols can transform into an Extra Spin symbol and every time they do, you will get 1 extra free spin.
But there’s more good news! Giant 3×3 Wild symbols can make an appearance anywhere at all on the 3 middle reels. So if you land them, get ready for some truly massive wins as the max you could scoop is a mind- boggling 600x your stake.
Conclusion
An entertaining take on the old skool slot, you could do a lot worse than the Fruit Spin of you want to while away some spins. And with the Giant Wilds in play, you could be walking away with some very decent wins, too.
