Fruit Shop POKIE

Fruit Shop Pokie Review

Fruit Shop is an energetic five-reel pokie with 10 fixed paylines. It is themed around fruits and most of the action revolves around free spins that can be won very easily in the pokie. The game has simplistic design without much detail but its unusual approach to activating of free spins draws attention of sophisticated gamblers who appreciate out-of-the-box solutions.

The reels are set against rural landscape with a colored roof like the one in small fruit shops where the most delicious fresh fruits and vegs are displayed in farm boxes and bundled vertically in small pyramids. Having only 15 paylines, the pokie accepts bets beginning with $0.15 per spin so low-rollers are welcome to place small bets and have big chances to score decent winnings.

Only one feature symbols is present in the pokie but in fact all the symbols are able to trigger a bonus feature, which makes the pokie stand out from other games where bonuses tend to be activated by special symbols. On the reels, you will come across typical tens, jacks and other standard letters denoting playing card values. As usual, they are low-win symbols that are going to dominate in the winning combinations.

Other symbols are five different fruits such as watermelons ($2000), oranges ($5000), lemons ($7500), plums ($10,000) and cherries ($20,000). The figures shown in brackets stand for the win amounts that you will earn if five of the same symbols appear on an active bet line, provided you play at the maximum acceptable stake, which is $150. Paylines win when the matching symbols are in succession from reel 1 to the right.

Wild symbol

A wild is represented by the pokie’s logo and it substitutes for all fruits and card values. It cannot create combinations without other symbols but it has another benefit that manifests itself when the wild substitutes: All wins with a wild are doubled.

Free spins

Free spins are the most fruitful (a good pun, isn’t it?) feature that triggers with the greatest ease. The matter is that every fruit symbol is able to trigger free spins on certain conditions. The rules for activating free spins are as follows:

1. Cherries activate 1, 2 or 5 free spins when two to five of these berries appear on a payline
2. Watermelons, oranges, lemons and plums activate 1, 2 or 5 free spins when three to five of these fruits stop on an active bet line.

During free spins, the same matching symbols award extra free spins. Besides, winning combinations with matching 10s, J’s, Q’s, K’s and A’s also give away 1, 2 or 5 extra free spins.

Ultimately, all bet line wins created during free spins are multiplied by x2.

Summary

The game does not have plenty of bonuses but you can explore a true pokie action in Fruit Shop thanks to frequently triggered free spins. The highest jackpot is $20,000 for getting five cherries. Assuming the maximum bet of $150, the pokie is suitable for heavy bettors who lay big bucks on pokies.
