Fruit Mania

Occasionally, modern-day slots can prove a little overbearing.

There comes a time when you’ve had enough of six-figure betting lines and overcomplicated bonus extras; the perfect tonic offered by something altogether simpler, but no less fun.

Enter: Fruit Mania. Powered by Malta-based studio Wazdan, the 3x3 fruit slot harkens back to the glory days of Vegas’s one-armed bandit army.

Fruit Mania does its best to imitate those mechanical wonders in most departments, from aesthetics, to gameplay. Even the sound effects have come straight from a Vegas casino hall where punters chuck in quarter after quarter, living out the American Dream.

Let’s see what else is on offer under the hood..

Design

Needless to say, Fruit Mania is resplendent with classic fruit machine graphics: all bells, lemons, oranges, cherries, stars and grapes, produced in vibrant colours. Top paying diamonds are on display too, along with symbols reading VEGAS/LOTTO in shades of gold or silver.

The game’s audio is reminiscent of its land-based ancestors to ensure buckets of low-key slot fun. If you close your eyes for a second you can practically visualise the throngs of slot machines laid out in front of you!

Gameplay and Features

4 or more identical symbols are required to line up from the first reel in Fruit Mania, with the exception of LOTTO symbols, which pay out for just 3.

If you manage to fill the entire screen with the same symbol, these are the returns you can expect:

• Diamond: 50x
• Red Vegas: 35x
• Silver Vegas: 25x
• Black Vegas: 20x
• Melon: 18x
• Star: 15x
• Bell: 12x
• Grape: 8x
• Orange: 6x
• Berries: 3x
• Lotto: 1.5x

Applying some modern touches, the slot offers a pair of bonus features.

Keep alert for Lotto symbols dropping on the three middle positions. When this happens, you get to pick from 3 tickets. Guess right to reveal a special prize.

Free Spins

You’ll notice a diamond matrix located to the top right of the grid. Once you’ve filled all 9 spaces in the matrix with diamonds, watch as a trio of these latch onto the reels and remain in place for the free spins that follow.

Any additional diamonds that join the action also lock into position, prompting a win evaluation once all spins are exhausted.

Volatility

Fruit Mania scores high on the volatility index - so prepare for stretches of spins that can be stingy with their payback.

That’s not to say big wins aren’t possible. Fill the diamond matrix in full and you stand to pocket some decent cash from the ensuing bonus round.

The Verdict

Fruit Mania doesn’t fall into the trap of trying to be something it isn’t it. This is good, old-fashioned fruit machine gaming, with an occasional twist.

The gameplay is fast-paced to ensure a thrill-a-minute experience, while the overall look and feel will delight fruit machine lovers equally.

Add in the possibility of chunky wins via the bonus game, Wazdan’s contribution offering is one of the more rounded category offerings you’re likely to encounter.
