Fruit Spin Review

Fruit Spin is a video slot from NetEnt with 5 reels and 40 paylines. You’ll be able to play Fruit Spin at online casinos such as YoYo, ComeOn or Leo Vegas.

Theme and basics about the game

Fruit Spin is a bit of an old-fashioned slot because it comes with a classic fruit theme. The fruits in question are made of gems, making them glitter nicely but offering little new. We’ve had such kinds of fruits before. Though there is a certain elegance to the game that may make it appealing to some. The high value symbols are the black 7, the gold bar, the silver bar and the bronze bar. The black 7 gives us 300 coins for a 5-of-kind win. The gold bar still offers up 200 coins for such a win, whereas the others follow far behind. The low-paying fruits are cherries, oranges, raspberry, lime and grapes.
Apart from stacked symbols, the base game offers very little excitement. Wins are frequent enough that you won’t eat up your whole budget whilst waiting for the bonus wheels to make an appearance, though. But sometimes you might find it takes more than 250 spins for the wheels to show up and that is a dry spell you might want to manage carefully.

Gameplay and bonus features

The bonus wheels show up when you get at least three scatters onto the reels. The scatters do show up as a 3×3 cluster. If any part of the block appears, the bonus wheels will show up. Depending on how many parts of the block appeared, you will be given a number of spins on each wheel. On the wheels you will collect rubies and coin prizes. Collecting three rubies will award at least 5 free spins, any additional ruby will give you an additional free spin. It is possible to end the bonus wheel round without getting free spins, mind you.
During the free spin feature, a block of 3×3 wilds will be introduced to the game. It makes wins more likely and things more interesting. If the whole block lands on the reels, big wins are possible. On average, the free spin feature is triggered at least once every 100 spins, sometimes even more frequently, though you can’t always count on that. That means you can look forward to winning reasonably often.

Conclusion

The theoretical RTP (return to player) of Fruit Spin is 96.84%. That is excellent value, though it doesn’t always feel like the slot is paying that much. Sometimes, if you have a bit more luck, you’ll be up on your game, but dry spells are always a possibility. Fruit Spin is not your average classic fruit slot with the bonus wheels appearing frequently enough and free spins yielding some good wins. But somehow the feature is no particularly gripping and eventually you may find yourself a little bit bored with the slot. The great RTP is a saving grace, if you don’t need much action in a slot. But eventually, you’ll likely move onto something more entertaining.
