Fruit Machine from mFortune: Slot Review - a fruit-tastic slot to play!

Fruit Machines have a long and storied history as the first ever one popped up in America all the way back in the early 20th Century. Would you believe that these early machines actually dispensed packets of cherry-flavoured gum instead of money! This is how the term “Fruit Machine” came about. These old machines weighed over 100 pounds and used mechanical reels. Fruit machines are still extremely popular with players today so mFortune decided to do their own unique version of this slot machine but with a fresh and fruity update.

It is a 3 reel slot game with 3 paylines and it features a Hold option and a top jackpot of 500X.

Special Features

A nice feature of this game is that the paytable is displayed beside the reels so you do not have to go looking for it anywhere onscreen. You can place a minimum bet of 10p and for high-rollers out there it is possible to place a maximum bet of 900!

The game includes a Hold feature, which gives players the opportunity to freeze or hold a reel in place so that a symbol does not change position on the next spin. It is possible to hold one or more of the reels using this feature, all you have to do is hit the “Hold” buttons located below each reel. This is a really cool feature as if you land the right symbols on one reel in order to bag a nice payout then you can hold the reel in place for your next spin.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The graphics are bright and full of colour and there is fruit absolutely everywhere! If you are a bit of a fruit-nut then you will love this game. Symbols consist of cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, watermelons, strawberries, pears, and of course liberty bells. The symbols move along the reels in sleek fashion and there are some glitzy flashing stars adorning the middle reel.

There is no real music to speak of in this game but there are some nice sound effects and jingles as you spin the reels.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 3 paylines, a below average RTP of 90.62%, and a maximum payout worth 500X.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.
