Something Fruity

Fruity means retro in the slots world.

Back in the day, Brit slot players would shove their pound coins into the fruit machine, or the fruity. It’s an aesthetic with longer roots, as fruit symbols date right back to the early days of machine gambling when they were used to try to (somewhat dishonestly) hide the fact that slot machines were gambling games based on poker.

Generally, a fruit-based slot will have retro graphics and relatively simple gameplay.

The Something Fruity slot, by Inspired Gaming, lives up to that model in most respects. And like many of the simpler slots on the market these days it has a big emphasis on the gambling elements of the game, with a big prize from a quite narrow betting range.

The design is relatively simple. It’s certainly easy to play, and the bright, neon colours are easy on the eye. The joker wild is stacked, in more ways than one, and in a way that’s borderline inappropriate, to be honest.

It’s got a bit of sophistication in its gameplay too, and you can play for small stakes and enjoy a good run with this game.

The Game

This is a nicely laid out game in the modern style with floating controls and a cogwheel to open up the pay tables and instructions.

The pay table is heavy on fruits: oranges, plums, cherries, lemons, 7s, strawberries, melons, and grapes the main symbols.

The joker symbol is a Wild and can be stacked.

The free spins are awarded in trenches of 5, 10, or 25 spins, during which the second pay table comes into operation.

There’s a Spin Chance Feature that allows players to make a final bet when your balance falls below the current stake but not down to zero. It’s a nice innovative feature and we reckon it’ll likely catch on.

The Verdict

A great looking and sounding game, the Something Fruity slot is a great new release from Inspired Gaming.

It really is nicely designed, with a good take on the fruit alphabet (though it’s also nice to see something new, which we don’t get here).

Features do provide plenty of novelty though, including that Spin Chance feature and the nudging wilds in the free spins round.

The games stats are fine for the current market, with a very good top prize. The betting range is quite narrow, but players on a budget will be glad to see that there’s a low maximum on this game.

The screen set-up is minimal and it works really well on a mobile screen, hich is where most players are playing these days.

If you like fruit games you’re spoiled for choice, and the retro and classic look is really in fashion at the moment. This is a more than decent addition to that genre though, and worth a look.
