Classic Fruits Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

Introduction 

Go back in time to the days when you left your fingerprints on the shiny chrome in a land-based casino as you waited for the bells, melons and bars to land. This is a back-to-basics extravaganza - if this is not too much of a misnomer. The focus is on sheer simplicity, from the super-recognisable symbols to the fact that wins are only paid out for three-of-a-kind. Forget wilds, scatters and free spins - this is the game for purists and retro slots fans only.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack 

This is a traditional slot in all its glory - or lack of it, if this is how you feel. Everything from the graphics and the soundtrack to the gameplay and choice of symbols is amazingly simple, but the retro value is high. If you want to be transported to the days of bells and cherries in a bricks-and-mortar casino or arcade, this could be the game for you. If you like a fruity game, you may also like the Fruit Smasher slot.

Classic Fruits RTP and variance

This game may be simple but the RTP is nothing to be sniffed at. It is an extremely healthy 97.72 per cent, which is way above the industry average of around 96 per cent. We couldn’t find the official variance but we can say that it felt like a medium volatility game when we gave it a try.

How to play Classic Fruits

You can’t get a much simpler game than this choice of 1x2 Gaming free slots; however, if you need some handy hints, here they are:

1. First choose whether you want the sound on or off. If you are playing for the first time, this is a hard choice to make when you have no idea what you are letting yourself in for, but the good news is that you don’t have to stick with your decision. There are sound settings you can alter once you get into the main game.
2. If you are playing on your desktop, you can find the start button to the far right of the screen. Look for the circular white arrow and you are on your way.
3. The ‘A’ above the start button is where you need to click if you want to use the autoplay mode. Click on this and you will get a surprisingly good choice of advanced autoplay settings, enabling you to choose how many games you want the slot to play automatically and when you want the automatic action to end.
4. Click on the three lines to the far left of the desktop screen, which are rather small, to access the general settings menu. This is another way to alter the autoplay settings.
5. The general settings menu gives you control of a range of variables, including the sound effects, the background music, the display in coins, the quickspin mode, and where your controls are displayed. You can switch these to the other side of the screen if this makes it more comfortable for you to play. You can also opt to use the spacebar to start the game instead of the traditional spin button.
6. Look to the far-right of the settings menus to see a few more options. The tiny trophy is where you need to click to see the game’s paytable, whilst the ‘i’ will show you the game’s rules.
7. Click the coins symbol to choose how much you want to bet on each spin. Use the plus and minus tabs to scroll through the options, or use the blocked-out symbols to choose the maximum or minimum bets per spin.

Bet & win sizes

Play in demo mode and you can choose to stake from 0.05 to 100.00 on each spin of this 3-reel slot game. Wins are paid out based on a multiplier of your stake and the prize on offer divided by the number of paylines. The wins couldn’t be easier to understand - you only get a payout for three matching symbols and the prizes are:

• Cherries = 10
• Lemons = 15
• Plums = 40
• Melons = 80
• Bells = 200
• Bars = 300
• 7s = 700

Classic Fruits bonus features 

This is a super-simple game where the focus is on the basic gameplay. This revolves around simply spinning and seeing whether you can land matching combinations of symbols, which means there are no bonus features. This may put some players off but there are others who will really appreciate the simplicity of the game and love the idea of going back to the days of undiluted spinning and winning - or at least that is the idea!

Classic Fruits review: our verdict

This is the reality show of the online slots’ world - you are either going to love it or hate it, with little chance of anyone falling in between. If you like classic-themed retro slots with no bells and whistles, this could be the choice for you; however, if you like modern games with a bounty of bonus features, you might well find this more boring than watching paint dry. We liked the novelty of going back in time but it is fair to say that the appeal didn’t last much longer than ten spins; what’s more, the tapping in the soundtrack was more annoying than sitting next to a fidgeting schoolmate with an over-active ballpoint pen. There is no doubt that there is something appealing about simplicity but many of us have been too spoiled by extravagant extras to really appreciate the basics for very long at all.
