Fantastic Fruit

For whatever reason, Fruit has long served as symbols in slots games. And Rival Gaming's Fantastic Fruit is based entirely on fruit...just not the simple cherries that you're used to seeing. Let's take a closer look at what you can expect from this 3-reel, 1-payline slot by checking out its symbols, background graphics, betting options, and features.

Symbols and Theme

Fantastic Fruit's symbols include: cherries, lemons, apples, plums, and BARs. If you've played any classic slot before, you've likely seen cherries and BARs incorporated; but we don't often see apples, lemons, and plums appear in fruit slots.

The symbol graphics are rudimentary, tipping you off to the fact that this is one of Rival's oldest slot machines. But we can at least say that the graphics look more original than what's featured in other classic slots.

This is especially true when you consider that the background offers realistic pictures of fruit. On the left-hand side, you'll see pictures of apples, grapes, oranges, and pineapples.

In addition to this bounty of fruit, you'll also hear nature sounds, birds chirping, and a subtle tropical beat. This all combines to suggest that Fantastic Fruit takes place on an island, or at least near the ocean.

Betting Options

The coin size is flexible, and you can adjust it from $0.01 to $10.00. Given that there's no benefit to using a larger coin, we suggest that you stick with one cent.

The only other option in this single-payline game involves putting 1-3 coins on each line. In terms of strategy, you should use all 3 coins because there's a jump in the jackpot. Getting 3 cherries in a payline pays 100 coins on a 1-coin bet, 200 coins on a 2-coin bet, and 400 coins on a 4-coin bet. Given the disproportionate jump when winning with 3 coins, this is why you should use all 3 credits.

Once your betting options are set, you can click Auto to spin the reels automatically, or just continue controlling them manually.

Fantastic Fruit Special Features and Bonuses

The biggest downside to Fantastic Fruit is that it's entirely void of special features. This game doesn't even have a wild symbol, which is a staple in classic slots. If you're somebody who enjoys slot machines with features, then you'll be disappointed with this game.

Final Thoughts on Fantastic Fruit Slots

Fantastic Fruit is a game for anybody who really appreciates simple slots that don't take long to understand. All you really need to know is that 3 coins offer you the best-possible payback, and the paytable is self-explanatory. We also like the detail that Rival put into designing the background and adding nature sounds too.

Those who shouldn't play this game include players who love 3D graphics, multiple features, multipliers, and big wins.
