Fruit Spider

About The Slot Machine

Fruit Spin from NetEnt has 5 spinning reels, 4 rows, and a whopping 40 paylines. This breaks the pattern of the vast majority of video slots that usually consist of 3 reels and around half of the paylines. On the other hand, it has the high payout figure that we are used to seeing NetEnt produce. Fruit Spin has an RTP rate of 96.84%, which should make it another really popular slot from NetEnt. In addition to plenty of chances to win and a high payout, the new slot offers classic casino entertainment with a modern touch. It is reminiscent of previous game releases like Fruit Shop, as it has the same lighthearted theme with fruits, has the same luster as the big favorite Starburst, but it has as many paylines as Spinata Grande.

Symbols

It is not at all unlikely that the seven, gold, silver, and bronze symbols in Fruit Spin, depending on the winning pattern, generate the bigger wins, in the same order. What pays out less are the sparkling fruits, which are the game's lower paying symbols. Right now, they'd pay out a little more if you hit a cherry win, because cherries somehow defy their old reputation and pay the highest win of the game's 5 symbols. Following cherries, the watermelon, orange, and 2-seedless grapes have a lower value in common.

3×3 Wilds

During the free spins mode, any of the 3 middle reels can display wild symbols or jokers. The wild symbol is shown to be 3 wild symbols next to each other, and it can substitute for all other symbols except the scatter symbol that triggers the free spins.

3×3 Scatter

This scatter symbol, like the jokers, is made up of 3 highly stacked symbols. These can land on any reel in any game round and are not restricted to specific reels, like wilds with multipliers.

If just a piece of this icon is left on the reels after a finished spin, the Lucky Wheel feature lights up.

Functions

Fruit Spin is an appealing video slot, not simply because of the number of paylines and lines it has. Even features that provide correctly matched symbols can yield some deliciously juicy wins. Several of the game's bonus features serve to both increase our chances of winning and multiply the value of certain winning combinations.

Lucky Wheels

Fruit Spin features three lucky wheels that spin independently and can award players free spins and coin wins. A spin is registered on each reel for every line of the 3×3 scatter that is evident on the reels after a spin. This results in issuing 1 spin if 1 row of the scatter symbol is present, 2 spins if 2 rows are visible, and 3 spins if the entire scatter symbol is showing along with 3 fully visible rows.

In the standard game round, there are two occurrences of the free spins symbol and three varieties of coin win symbols; one for 20 coins, another for 40 coins, and yet another for 80 coins. And the values of these coins are multiplied by your level of bet!

Once all the fortunate wheels come to a standstill, any coins that happen to win will be counted toward the total win amount, and the number of Free Spin symbols will be saved. Three Free Spin symbols on the Wheel of Fortune activate five Free Spins. After collecting three of these symbols, the symbol turns into an Extra Spin symbol, and you are rewarded with an extra spin.

Stacked symbols

If the bonus round hasn't been triggered, all symbols appear on the reels in a stacked configuration. This is excepting the 3×3 Scatter and 3×3 Wilds that do the job of a wild symbol. All of the other symbols are found above and below the reels, and all of them are stacked in 2×2 and 3×3 configurations on a special reel that serves as a kind of trailer for 3×3 symbols. In the regular game rounds, this reel contains only the 3×3 version of the following symbols: the 7, the Bronze Symbol, the Silver Symbol, and the Gold Symbol.

Free spins

Three free spin symbols appearing on the Fortune wheel trigger five free spins. And each time an Extra spin symbol appears, another spin is generated. The Fortune wheel consists of the Extra spin symbol and a coin win of 20 coins. Here, too, coin wins are multiplied by your bet level. Scatter symbols landing anywhere on the reels in the free spins round trigger the Lucky Wheels feature.

Summary

For all video slot fans, the new Fruit Spin from Netent will be a new favorite, no doubt. The slot offers more winning chances than many other slots that Netent has launched as Fruit Spin has twice as many paylines. That you can also win up to 600 times your own bet with multiplied winnings and that you can trigger Lucky Wheels even during free spins so that you can reactivate the bonus round is something we rarely see. Graphically, the slot is also a highlight with shiny symbols in lovely colors and, without being too much, the sounds are very engaging. An older fruit slot from Netent that may also be worth checking out is Fruit Case.
