Fruit Shop Theme

This NetEnt release borrows heavily from vintage fruit machines but ensures more upbeat and energetic gameplay thanks to the inclusion of several special features. The game is packed full of delicious-looking cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, and watermelons that help create the high-value winning combinations.

These juicy fruits are rendered in a distinctively cartoonish style which makes them instantly recognizable and easy on the eye. The reels are shaped to resemble a fruit stall complete with a striped awning. The blue skies and the lush green meadows behind the reel grid give the game a buoyant summer feel. much is going on in the sound department as there is no background music whatsoever.

How Fruit Shop Compares to Other Slot Games

As straightforward as it is, Fruit Shop became an instant fan favorite upon its release in 2011, establishing itself as one of the most iconic releases in NetEnt’s portfolio. Its popularity gave rise to one Megaways spin-off and a festive edition aptly titled Fruit Shop Christmas.

The Megaways version boasts the same playful vibes as the original but its winning potential has been amped up to the maximum. It uses a 6-reel layout with a random reel modifier capable of creating up to 117,649 ways to win in a single round. This comes at the expense of considerably higher volatility and a reduced RTP of 96.06% so keep that in mind before you play.

Fruit Shop Symbols and Payouts

Fruit Shop supports ten bet levels and wagers from $0.15 to $150 per spin. Scoring wins is pretty straightforward in this slot as all you need is landing three or more identical fruits on one of the paylines. The lines award payouts whenever the matching symbols align in succession from the leftmost to the rightmost reel.

NetEnt’s game designers have included a basketful of delicious fruits that help create the high-paying combinations. Keep your eyes on the juicy cherries as they are the top-paying symbols in Fruit Shop. Five of them on a line award the maximum base payout 2,000 times the bet. Plums are the second-best payers, followed by the lemons, oranges, and watermelons. Playing cards A, K, Q, J, and 10 offer less tasty payouts, ranging from 5 to 150 times the line bet.

Bonus Features Overview

This fruit-themed release has several surprises in store for players, starting with the wild symbol that can randomly appear on any spin to help them form winning combinations. A round of free spins is also incorporated into this tasty game and it triggers unconventionally, as you shall see shortly.

Wild and Scatter Symbols

Fruit Shop offers little in the way of special symbols as it features a wild only. Represented by the game’s logo, the wild is easily recognizable and substitutes for all paying symbols. All line wins that contain wild symbols pay double thanks to the 2x multipliers attached to the wilds. The developers have decided not to include any scatters to activate the free spins with. The feature triggers in a more original way, instead.

Free Spins

Rather than landing several scatters to trigger the free spins, players unlock the bonus rounds whenever they score a winning combination containing one of the high-value fruit icons. The coolest thing about it is that you can trigger one free spin by landing as few as two cherries. All payouts during free spins are doubled with a 2x multiplier. Also, any winning combination you form during the feature awards extra bonus rounds. As shown in the table below, how many bonus spins you get depends on the number of triggering fruits.
