Fruity Gold 81 - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

You can rely on Synot free slots for some traditional themes with modern features. That’s clear with Fruity Gold 81, which looks like a classic fruit machine except it has four reels instead of three or five. The 81 paylines are also more than we’d expect from a fruit machine, and the double wilds and mystery symbols are definitely a nice surprise. A gamble feature adds extra fun for those who want to risk it.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

It might be a larger grid than you’re used to seeing, but this is still a classic fruit themed slot with a retro feel. The fruits are big and bold, their bright colours even more vivid thanks to the plain black of the reels. They even literally come to life with little animations for winning spins. Then the background of the screen is a relatively simple pattern of stripes in different shades of blue. They’re angled to make it look like you’re looking into a tunnel. Music is fairly pleasant and picks up tempo if you’re lucky enough to score a winning spin and trigger the opportunity for the gamble feature. 

Fruity Gold 81 RTP and Variance

As with other slots from Synot, Fruity Gold 81 sits just inside our preferred range for a modern game with its RTP of 96.01%. It’s a promising start, though we remind you it’s a theoretical average. Slots wouldn’t be half as much fun if we could guarantee wins, so remember to be cautious and play responsibly. If you want to know about variance, or frequency of wins, you also have the problem that that information doesn’t seem to have been officially released. The best way to familiarise yourself with how it works is to play the free demo a few times.

How to Play Fruity Gold 81

If you know Synot slots or fruit machines, this should be fairly easy to figure out:

1. The first button under the reels is the menu. It will reveal two links, one to the game rules and one to the paytable. In other words, all the information you need to play.
2. There’s a home button, then the displays for your current balance, bet and when appropriate your most recent wins. This is everything you need to know as you play.
3. Your bet can be adjusted using the plus and minus symbols, and there’s also a max bet button for the high rollers who want to go straight to maximum risk and don’t want to have to spend ages clicking their way there.
4. As to the appropriate level for your bet, that’s going to depend on your balance and overall budget. You want to be able to walk away happy, which means only gambling a responsible amount. 
5. In line with this, establish a loss limit to stop you chasing losses and a single win limit that would be a highly satisfying place to finish. Limits on your session length can also help keep things under control and keep you in touch with the real world.
6. If you look in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, you’ll see the speaker button for sound. It’s not just for muting either - you can adjust between four volume levels.
7. Once you know exactly what you’re doing and have everything set where you want it, it’s time to play. There’s the regular spin button for one turn of the reels or autoplay if you know you want to go for a while. Just be careful with autoplay, as you can’t incorporate your win and loss limits.

Always play responsibly. When the fun stops, stop.

Fruity Gold 81 Bonus Features

Gamble

The gamble button will appear after every winning spin. It’s your choice whether you take the extra risk by wagering your winnings on the turn of a card. Pick red or black correctly and your prize doubles, but get it wrong and you lose it.

Double Wild

The double wild symbol, which looks like a stack of gold bars, doesn’t just act as a substitute like the normal wild (which looks like a joker). It also comes with a x2 multiplier that can be applied to every win.

Mystery Symbols

The dice are mystery symbols, which means the payout will be random. We do know the range, though:

3 Dice = 2x-300x

4 Dice = 10x-500x

Fruity Gold 81 Review

You generally know what you’re getting with a fruit machine, and at first glance Fruity Gold 81 doesn’t look that different. Yes, it’s got more paylines than normal, but the basic imagery is the same. That said, there are a few extra features, like the double wild and mystery symbols, that help elevate the gameplay, so there could be more to it than you think. If you like seeing modern versions of a fruit machine, you could also try the Fruits n Sevens slot.
