Dip into the fruit basket and see what wins you can find in this simple slot. The game boasts a mini cocktail of fruity and classic symbols - the bar, the plum, the apple, the lemon and the cherry. If you like this game you may also enjoy the Twin Spin Megaways slot.

Fantastic Fruit RTP and Variance

Rival Gaming demo slots are not renowned for their high RTPs and this is no exception. This simple slot has a return to player ratio of just 94.77%, which is way below the industry average of around 96%. We are unsure what the variance of this game is meant to be but it plays like a medium volatility slot.

How to Play Fantastic Fruit

Fantastic Fruit is one of the easiest online slots to play but here are a few hints that might help get you started:

1. Your first choice is to decide how many coins you want to bet on each spin (between one and three) and how much you want these coins to be worth.
2. The paytable is displayed above the reels. This is not normally possible with online slots but the fact that there is such a small number of symbols means there is the room to show it off.
3. All prizes you win are based on a multiple of your coin value. Coins can be valued at 0.01 to 10.00. 
4. Your total bet will be calculated based on what value you choose for your coins and how many of these coins you decide to play on each spin.
5. There is an autoplay function to let the game play automatically. This is great if you simply want to veg out (excuse the terrible pun).
6. There is also a max bet option, which is the quickest way to play with the maximum stake.
7. Always play responsibly. Decide on a budget and stick to it. 

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

There are only 5 symbols in this game and so it is not hard to spot the wins when they arrive. Prizes on offer include:

Barrs - 10x-30x your coin value

Plums - 20x-60x

Apples - 30x-90x

Lemons 40x-120x

Cherry - 100x-400x

You will notice that the major break from tradition is that the humble cherry is the biggest earner of the game. The cherries also pay out some smaller wins. Land one cherry to win between 1x and 3x your coin value and two for a prize of between 5x and 15x. 

As you might expect from a classic slot of this type, all wins pay out from left to right and the symbols must appear on the game’s payline. The prizes you win are based on the amount you choose to value your coins at and the number of coins you choose to play.

You can play 1, 2 or 3 coins on each spin and value these coins at between 0.01 and 10.00 each. This means that the minimum stake per spin is 0.01 and the maximum is 30.00.

Fantastic Fruit Bonus Features

This is not the game for you if you are looking for bonus features. This truly is a classic-themed slot that takes players back to simpler days when slot machines in land-based casinos boasted just 3 reels and a single payline. There are no free spins, no wilds, no scatters and no bonuses, which is a rare thing in the modern world of online slots. Who would have guessed that a game’s defining factor could be what it doesn’t have rather than what it does?

Fantastic Fruit Review

This is the Marmite of online slots. You are going to love it or hate it, with few possibilities in between. Fantastic Fruit is one of the simplest online slots you will ever find and you will have to decide if this is a good or a bad thing. 

There is a definite feeling of nostalgia when people of a certain age start playing this slot, but players who don’t remember the days of the classic slot in the bricks and mortar casinos may completely miss the point of this game. Even people who once enjoyed watching symbols bump to a halt on a single payline may have outgrown the idea. Certainly, we found that the nostalgia soon wore off and it wasn’t long before we were yearning for a little more excitement and entertainment.

The fact is, this is a game for a certain type of player - one who really does enjoy the simple things in life or newbies just starting out in the world of online slots. This is certainly a game that new players can cut their teeth with. After all, there are no simpler choices out there. Whether they would bother is another matter, however. Even games with a few bonus features aren’t tricky to play and so it is hard to see what this game really has to offer other than a brief trip down memory lane.
