Fruit Spin is one of the latest NetEnt games to hit our screens, but to our surprise, this online slot has much more of a classic nature than many modern games. This 5 reel, 40 pay line online and mobile slot is colourful and bright, while based upon the traditional fruit machine “fruit shop” theme. Don’t write this one off as unimaginative, however, as NetEnt have added a few elements to keep us engaged. While the visuals are commonplace, the graphics are detailed, too. Fruit Spin is fast-paced and fun game, read on for all the details.
Special Features
The high win symbols are as you might expect: Sevens, gold bars, silver bars and bronze bars. The lower wins symbols are colourful gem-like fruits.
Fruit Spin has a free spins bonus feature, and during the base game and the bonus free games, every symbol can appear as a stack, apart from a 3×3 wild block and a 3×3 scatter block. The wild symbols substitute all other symbols apart from the scatter.
When the reels spin, if any section of the 3×3 block of scatters can be seen on the reels when they stop, the Lucky Wheels feature begins to play.
Bonus Features
When the Lucky Wheels feature begins, you will see 3 Lucky Wheels appear on the screen. These can trigger coin wins or award free spins. The wheels will spin; for how long depends on how much of the 3×3 scatter was left on the reels (one spin awarded for each row visible).
When the Lucky Wheels spin, you may land 3 free spins symbols which, of course, will activate free spins. 5, in total. Here, the free spins icon transforms into an Extra Spin icon and awards 1 extra spin every time it lands. Landing any further scatter symbols can also retrigger Lucky Wheels – making this a potentially very rewarding bonus feature! We also found that the Lucky Wheels seemed very easy to trigger.
Verdict
Gameplay certainly makes up for the theme, in this instance. There are many unique and captivating game themes out there, so with Fruit Spin it’s the Lucky Wheels feature that “reels” us in. Definitely worth a few spins, for punters of all levels.
