Fruit Spin

Now here's one more new game from NetEnt, but there's really nothing new to it, except for the way in which the Free Spins game is activated. Still, this Fruit Spin game is definitely way more interesting than that boring Phantom's Curse game, although I must admit, the paytable is only slightly better with its 15x total bet highest win value. Another plus point for this Fruit Spin game is that the Free Spins game can be retriggered by getting 3 or more of that non-paying Stacked 3x3 Scatter symbols during the free spins, which would take you back to the Lucky Wheel screen for more lucky spins to win additional cash prizes or more free spins. I like this bit!

All symbols are stacked in this 5-reels 4-rows game, which is acceptable, but not really my favourite kind of game format, but I do like the minimum starting bet of only 0.20 EUR for its 40 paylines. The Wild symbols are stacked 3x3 high, but they only appear during the free spins, so there aren't any Wild symbols during the base game. That sucks a bit! Worse still, the Wild symbols are non-paying too, same as for the 3x3 Stacked Scatter symbols, so they can only substitute for the highest regular symbol, the 7Bar symbol, which pays 15x the total bet for getting 5 of them. The other symbols pay from 10x to 1x the total bet for any 5 of them. A very low paytable, typical of new games from NetEnt, but better than that Phantom's Curse paytable.

Getting a row of 3 Scatter symbols award 3 spins on the Lucky Wheel, 2 rows award 6 spins, and getting all 3 rows of Scatters award 9 spins. The Lucky Wheel has 3 wheels, each wheel having coin prizes and a Ruby Gem, and getting 3 Rubies would award 5 free spins. Every extra Ruby awards 1 more free spin, up to a maximum of 11 free spins. Getting 3 or more of these Scatters during the free spins would take you back to the Lucky Wheel screen for another chance on the Wheel. However, I haven't manage to get any of such retrigger so far, but it certainly isn't impossible to get.

Honestly speaking, I like playing this Fruit Spin game, but the payouts were not always good. I was lucky enough to get a 125x and a 153x win on my first play itself, but after those 2 wins, the game went dead and started taking back what it had paid out. Nope, I didn't wait to see what would happen next - I ran away when it ate half of my balance, leaving me with just a little extra from my starting balance, hahaha. Anyway, I might give this game more plays in the near future, but then again, maybe not. I cannot be certain for now.
