Fruit Spin Slot Review

NetEnt have a long proud history of making exclusive games for individual casinos. The popular Scruffy Duck at LeoVegas is a recent example but it was a few titles years ago for the guys at Mr Green casino which really cemented this as common practice for the Swedish game provider. By and large all these games have been pretty good, some even excellent. The new Fruit Spin slot however, much as we hate to critique a game too harshly, is pretty awful. We’ve been playing it for hours on end trying to find some redeeming features and, although we found a few good points, they were few and far between.

Other reviewers online seem of the same opinion too. Its rare gamblers agree on such a wide scale and for this to happen to a NetEnt title is highly unusual. So, a simple fruit slot, with a high RTP and medium variance level – how could NetEnt have got something so bread and butter completely wrong? Read on for our full review and discover why Fruit Spin isn’t viable as one of your five a day – unless you close your eyes whilst playing.

Game setup for the Fruit Spin slot

The structure of the new Fruit Spin slot is actually pretty good. The game features an expanded reel grid of 4×5 icons and still preserves accessibility with only 20 lines in play. That’s a minimum stake of 0.01 per line / 0.20 credits total and a max of 200.00. A wide bet range too then, if it weren’t for our initial analysis you’d be thinking NetEnt had put together another winner!

Controls are par for the course with a NetEnt slot. In other words, the Fruit Spin slot uses the same set of excellent options that all the other current games in the range do. Full marks here also. An added bonus, given the game has a larger than typical grid, is that the reels highlight. This saves constant trips back to the game’s pay table, a good thing overall as it’s the first weakness in the game. There are good pay tables and bad ones, the one on the Fruit Spin slot is crammed with tiny text and almost unusable on mobile, the saving grace is that this is a simple slot and there isn’t too much you need to read there.

Gameplay and Theme for the Fruit Spin slot

Where the game goes wrong, badly, is the moments after you open and load it. There’s a brilliant funky little logo, a great sound track and then you see the reel grid. By far, this is the most poorly designed NetEnt game in years from a visual perspective. It makes old school slots like Cool Diamonds look modern in comparison. The graphics are sharp sure, but, they are about as interesting as the 4^th day of Cricket test match. If your name is NetEnt you just can’t put out a game this bland, simple yes, slots like Fruit Shop are hardly complex. But boring? No, that just won’t keep existing fans happy at all.

The rewards are equally uninspiring. There’s much made of the Lucky Wheel feature in the game granted for narrowly missing out on a bonus game. The prize though is just 1x-4x the stake – largely a waste of the extra mechanic unless you manage to get three of the top prizes (one on each wheel) for a still meagre 12x total. Of course, you could also trigger the spins game but for us this is just making the scatter system overly complicated.

Wild Free Spins

The symbols to trigger the bonus appear in a 3×3 grid in the middle of the reels. Only 5 are granted initially however, every extra spin symbol in the grid will grant you one extra spin and they re-trigger in the same way during the feature game itself. Your best chance here is the wilds, they can stack across the middle reels and it’s a good set of the wilds that provide the games only chance at big wins. In fairness to the Fruit Spin slot, because it’s a one-shot deal, if you hit it the rewards are likely to be very large.

Summary

Mr Green’s latest exclusive slot from NetEnt doesn’t look like it will garner too many fans. Sure, if other fairly bland games like Keno are your only experience of online gaming, this will feel more exciting. A modern video slot player however, is likely to wander off to another game on the site or visit somewhere like VideoSlots – where there are more than 2000 other games to choose from.
