Fruit Nation Slot Machine - Play Fruit Nation Slot Free

Fruit Nation review - introduction

Fruit Nation presents players with five fruit-filled reels. This is very much a classic slot with classic symbols; therefore, it should come as no surprise that the lucky number 7 is the most valuable symbol, followed by the bell, watermelon and plum. The orange, lemon and pair of cherries are not worth quite as much.
 
Although Fruit Nation doesn’t include bonus features such as wilds and free spins, it does feature one of the best gamble mechanics we have seen. After any successful win, players have the option to gamble their winnings on a card game or the gamble ladder. Both mini-games are fantastically fun and the chance to more than double your winnings brings some thrill to the reels!

The paylines are set at five and all winning combinations form from left to right. If you would like to give the slot a try for free, it is one of the Bally online slots available to play in demo mode here at Slots Temple.

Theme, graphics & design

Fruit Nation is a classic fruit themed slot, so you already know exactly what you are getting. It is the perfect homage to the fruit machines of old.

All the symbols burst with juicy color, especially the delectable-looking watermelon. At first glance, the green background might seem simplistic; however, it is speckled with starbursts to give it a futuristic sci-fi look. The graphics are gorgeously smooth and the slick interface gives Fruit Nation a classy look.

The background music is astounding and took us by surprise with its high-octane dance/trance style track complete with its own DJ! The energetic soundtrack instantly got us in the mood to play, while the pulse-pounding beats make each spin feel even more exciting. It is unusual to find such a high-quality soundtrack for an online slot.

The design is so solid that it is hard to pick holes. Using the space button to spin is always a convenient feature, but it is lacking here. Similarly, despite the scaled-back nature of this slot, we would have liked to see a few more bonus features.

Fruit Nation RTP and variance

Bally hadn’t made the volatility available when we wrote this review, but we do know that the RTP of Fruit Nation is 96.33 per cent. There is an enticing top win of 30,000x up for grabs, but attaining such a figure is hugely unlikely.

How to play Fruit Nation

Fruit Nation is one of the most accessible slots we have played and lays out its interface exceptionally well:

1. All the information is neatly stored to the top-right of the screen. You can read through it by tapping the plus-shaped icon.

2. This opens a submenu, so press ‘i’ to open the paytable and read the appropriate information.

3. ‘?’ launches the game rules, where you will also find a section on how the two gamble features work.

4. Close the menu and return to the reels.

5. Bet sizes are easy to adjust using the - and + buttons in the center of the screen.

6. Autoplay is fairly limited, but you can start the reels spinning indefinitely by tapping ‘auto start’.

7. Establish a sensible budget for the game, then press spin.

Bet & win sizes

Fruit Nation offers a bet range of 5 to 5,000, which is perfect for high rolling players. The paytable is generous, with a top single line win of 1,000x for a five matching lucky 7s. Let’s look at the rest of the paytable for five matching symbols:

- Bell = 140x
- Watermelon = 100x
- Plum = 100x
- Orange = 80x
- Lemon = 80x
- Cherries = 60x

The paylines are fixed at five, which might seem a little stingy; however, the maximum payout of 30,000x certainly isn’t! Bigs wins such as this are exciting but sadly incredibly rare.

Max-win 5,000x

Fruit Nation bonus features

Fruit Nation isn’t a bonus-heavy slot, but it does feature a high-quality gamble mechanic. Here is how it works:

- Gambling your winnings

After any successful spin, players have a choice. You can select ‘collect’ to bank your winnings or choose to gamble them. If you opt for the latter, there are two distinct choices: the card or ladder gamble.

- Card gamble

The card gamble feature is the simpler of the two. Players simply guess whether the color of the next card will be red or black. Guess correctly and you will double your winnings, but guess incorrectly and the winnings are lost.

- Ladder gamble

Slightly more complex, players must climb up a ladder to win a top prize of 150. To advance, you simply have to press ‘gamble’, but your chances of success diminish with each rung. As is the case with the card gamble feature, you can opt to walk away with your winnings at any point.

Concluding thoughts

Fruit Nation is a slick premium offering from Bally, which has really excelled itself. This is a classic slot in every sense of the word and one with fantastically smooth graphics and a surprisingly good soundtrack.

The lack of free spins is slightly disappointing, but the detailed gamble feature goes some way towards making up for the omission. A gamble feature is relatively common in online slots, but the addition of the ladder makes it even more interesting - and exciting!. The higher you climb, the more difficult your decisions become.

Fruit machine slots are some of the most popular games in the world. If you are looking for a premium version, Fruit Nation more than fits the bill.

The similarly-themed Sweet Bonanza slot is another stunning example of its kind and a must-play for fruit machine fans.
