Four Fruits 2 - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If you’re a regular player, you should be familiar with some of the Apollo Games slots that are available in your jurisdiction. Apollo are based in the Czech Republic but have become a worldwide developer since their founding in 2007. They have a recognisable style to the mechanics of their game play and have made a point of offering many of their games as free play slots so players can take them for a dry run before thinking about betting for real.

Unlike some games that take the basics of fruit-themed games and try to add a contemporary twist, like Play’n’Go’s Fire Joker Freeze slots, Four Fruits 2 remains pretty faithful to tradition.

Four Fruits 2 has a 4x3 grid and 10 fixed paylines. The minimum bet size is 0.20 while the maximum is 60.00. There are 8 regular symbols: a lucky 7, a watermelon, a bell, grapes, a plum and an orange. The wild is a joker, and there is a bonus scatter symbol that awards 10 free criss-cross spins if you land 3 of them.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

This is a very traditional game. The graphics are quite smart for what they are, but given the limitations of the format, there is little room for variety or invention. There is no soundtrack - just some perky musical stings when you win. 

Four Fruits 2 RTP and variance

Four Fruits 2 has an RTP of 95.0 per cent, which is below average. The variance is not recorded, but we estimate it to be medium to high.

How to play Four Fruits 2

1. The object of the game is spinning the reels to match 3 identical symbols on one or more of the 10 paylines. Although there are 4 reels, the maximum number of symbols to fill a payline is 3.The level of winnings depends on which symbols you land, according to their values as shown in the paytable, which can be viewed in the main menu by clicking the question mark.
2. To choose your bet, you need to click the bet indicator that is on the right of the control panel. With the plus and minus signs, you can look through the choices and pick the one you want. Another way to pick your bet is through the cash settings menu, which you’ll find under the main menu.
3. In order to use the automatic play feature rather than spinning the reels yourself each time, just click on the menu button, click the settings cog and then toggle Autostart from off to on. You will then be returned to the game and the reels will spin without you having to start them.
4. If you prefer to play in manual mode, just click the start button. 
5. The joker symbol can substitute for all other symbols except for the bonus.
6. If you land 4 identical fruit symbols in a square formation, these will be blocked and you will be awarded a free spin.
7. Wins on different paylines are added together. 
8. We strongly support all initiatives aimed at promoting safe gambling like BeGambleAware. We encourage all customers to play responsibly at all times. If you are betting real money, please make sure your wagers stay within affordable limits. When the game stops being fun, you should stop playing. You can control your play by setting the time-out and self-exclusion features, which are available in your account.

Four Fruits 2 bonus features

Gamble Feature

Each time you win, you will have an opportunity either to collect your winnings and continue the game or gamble those winnings with the chance to double them or lose them. If you wish to gamble, press the Gamble button that appears and choose black or red. You’ll see cards shuffling and then either a black or a red suit will land on top. The feature will function only if your stake is no more than half the maximum allowed in the gamble feature.

If you do not wish to bet the full amount of your win, you can choose half-stake and bet only half of your winnings. You can keep gambling up to 5 times, although a loss will end the feature.

Four Fruits 2 review: Our verdict

If you are a fan of games that stick closely to a traditional format, this might suit you. For other players, it might be a little disappointing. It’s clearly aimed at purists and very consciously avoids any features that conflict with that. It doesn’t claim to be anything other than a simple game. That’s fair enough, but there’s no real justification for the low RTP and the miserly jackpot.
