Fruits & Jokers: 40 lines

Theme

After releasing the first version with 20 paylines, Playson decided to step it up a notch and double the chances for the players enjoying the good old fruit machine. This simple 40 liner is another proof that games with classic symbols are popular among players.

Developer mixed it up a little and added a Joker, another well – known symbol, to this fruit blend.

Set on the unpretentious red background, …

… this title has great graphics and wonderful animations that get activated with every winning combination. It doesn’t feature any soundtrack and sound effects are pretty basic so it can get really quiet. We got accustomed to soundtracks as a way to enrich the player's experience and not having it is seen as a downside.

So, let’s see if this stripped – down slot is worth your time and money.

Betting Options and Symbols

If you decide to travel down the memory lane, you’ll be doing it on 5 reels, 3 rows and, as we mentioned before, 40 paylines.

Players can start spinning the reels for 0.20 per spin and for the high – rollers there is the option of 100 $ per spin. Also, Playson made sure that the release is available on all devices.

AND …

… When it comes to symbols, on the lower end of the paytable you’ll find lemons, oranges, and cherries, rewarding players with 2.25 times the bet. The high – value icons are grapes, watermelons and lucky 7. The last one tops the list with 7.25 times the bet.

Special Features

Traditional fruit machines don’t have extraordinary bonus features. Actually, having any is considered a plus. After all, the beauty of these basic games is in its simplicity.

In the case of this particular release, special features come in the form of two specific symbols.

One of them is a shiny golden star representing a Scatter. Unfortunately, Scatter doesn’t trigger any bonus rounds with extra spins or multipliers but it does bring some rewards …

… for the players who manage to land 3 or more anywhere on the grid. For the ultimate combination of 5, you will get 400 times your bet. If you get 4 Scatters, a reward will be 20 times the bet while 3 of them reward you with 5 times the bet.

The other symbol with some additional perks is a Joker. Joker is a well–known symbol in the gambling world. Depicted as a young woman in a yellow joker suit, it represents the Wild. As such, Joker can replace any symbol on the grid except Scatter …

… and help players score more winning combos. It can also be found on the paytable and for landing 3 or more of them, players will collect certain winnings. For example, 5 Jokers equals 37.5 times the bet.

Conclusion

This is a pretty straightforward slot with classic symbols and some modest bonus features.

Visually, this title is top notch with marvelous and colorful design. Joker Wild and Scatter are a nice addition to the game and make it more immersive. Those looking for some simplicity or a trip down the memory lane would enjoy these spins.
