Fruit Salad Slot

While it technically doesn't qualify as one of your five a day, there's certainly no end of fruity goodness in this Fruit Salad slot from Microgaming – arguably the masters of straightforward, retro gaming. Luckily, what it lacks in vitamins, it gains in the chance of a payout of up to 5,000 coins. You can buy all the health supplements you need with that. There's no frills or distractions on this slot either – a classic three reel, three pay-line game, with nine winning combinations. If you need a shot of tropical sunshine during your day (which could brighten up even more with a win), then this is the slot for you.

• About Fruit Salad Slot Game

  The fruit theme of this online slot has a tropical twist, which you can see in the bold, cheerful and bright rainbow-coloured background. There's a tropical tune bobbing along in the background for added atmosphere, but it's not as high-quality as some other slots. The main draw of this online slot is the gameplay, so the visuals and sounds – while certainly pleasant enough – aren't the focus. When it comes to your credits, bet and spin counters, everything is neatly laid out. The paytable on the right-hand side also shows you clearly what you need to get a win. There are no wildcards or complicated bonus modes either – it's a straightforward old-school slot. That said, you can use max bet to hit the highest bonus, but we'll look at that later.

• How to Play Fruit Salad Slot Online

  If you're new to slots, this is the perfect game to start with. Even if you’re not, and simply want something without all the bells and whistles of flashier online slots, then it's a solid choice. The three reels give you a maximum of nine possible payout combinations, and the three pay-lines run horizontally across the reels. All very simple. Bet limits are low too, so you can try a few games without being greatly out of pocket – the lowest bet amount is 0.25. The maximum bet is 15 coins, so when you consider the jackpot multiplier of 5,000, you're in with a chance of a generous payout. It's not without risk, of course.

• Fruit Salad Slot Features, Specials and Symbols

  In the true spirit of the traditional slot, Fruit Salad has no real specials. It's all about your bet amount, and the combinations you can get on the pay-lines. The Bar symbols are the most common, and easiest to match up. The biggest standard payouts come from the melons, which give 300 coins. For a jackpot, you'll need to get the fabled fruit salad itself. Match up three of these, and you'll win an impressive 5,000 coins. This is a great game if you've got a few spare minutes in the day, and want a no-fuss, quick gaming experience that can still give you a decent payout.
