FRUIT ZEN

HOW TO PLAY FRUIT ZEN

Thanks to the crisp graphics and a relaxing soundtrack, you will definitely have the impression that you are located on some deserted beach, with nobody to bother you as you try to relax. The reels are packed with tasty, well-designed fruits, which will deliver some sweet payouts. The most rewarding fruit is the Orange, followed by the Lemon, Grapes and Watermelons.

Lots of Plums, Raspberries and Cherries will complete the fruit salad. Finally, there is the Logo Wild, which substitutes for all regular symbols and can expand to cover the entire reels, while also triggering a free respin.

Since we are talking about a video slot that is actually an old-school slot machine in its essence, the rules of the game are as simple as possible and you will be spinning the reels like a pro in no time at all. The 2014 release features five reels, three rows and offers 10 adjustable paylines, which pay both ways, so punters can form winning combos both from the leftmost and the rightmost reel.

Three of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts. Choose for yourselves how many paylines you want to play with, but our advice is to use all of them, simply to boost your winning chances. Bet as low as $0.10 and as high as $100 per spin.

FRUIT ZEN (BETSOFT): CASINOBLOKE’S VERDICT

Being action junkies ourselves, we cannot say that we were completely satisfied with what Fruit Zen has to offer. It is cool to get away from it all for a while and simply concentrate on spinning the reels, but it can get pretty monotonous after a couple of hours. We do not like the fact that the BetSoft title offers so little in terms of special features, but the Expanding Sticky Wild can surprise you with some hefty payouts, especially if you manage to land more than one Sticky Wild on several successive spins. We can see why fans of classic fruit machines like the 2014 release, but we are not convinced that action junkies will stick around for a long period of time.
