We’re approaching the season to be jolly, but it’s not just Christmas gifts and large quantities of roast delicacies that you have to be jolly about. Green Tube has just dropped a title that might not carry the festive season theme, but certainly gives us reason to celebrate. 50 Fortune Fruits is a slot with an old, and arguably boring, theme, but thanks to iGaming studios going hammer and tongs to outdo each other you’ll find all the modern traits in an online video slot. With some free spins to get you winning easy cash 50 Fortune Fruits is something we’ll be reviewing with a keen eye.
As times have progressed we’ve become used to playing titles that carry far more than just winning opportunities. If we look at NetEnt, one of the biggest casino software studios around, they manage to land licensing agreements with Hollywood studios to develop slots based on movies. As we approach 2020 this seems to be what the modern player wants. Green Tube has taken the bold decision of releasing a game based purely on the old pub fruities theme, and while the game will work the same as any other slot, this theme is quite outdated. There’s nothing wrong with the graphics, it’s just that there’s very little excitement when spinning the reels.
This is purely from a theme and aesthetics point of view, however, as there are chances to win. The most you’ll be able to wager is a hefty £50.00 per spin, while players looking to rather chip away at the game and take modest wins can start the betting as low as £0.25 per spin, and work their ways up to higher wagers from there. This is a medium variance game, meaning that wins are easier to come by. Should you play an effective strategy you’ll also have the RTP of 95.45% to help you out. Remember, this only comes in handy if you’re betting sensibly.
Green Tube have kept up with the times here and made strong attempts to optimise the experience on mobile. Most of us aren’t sitting at home on a family desktop these days spinning the reels, but rather getting a few spins in while out and about. Android and iOS are both accommodated, while any alternate OS’ should be, too.
As the name of the game suggests the symbols are all about fruit. Don’t expect anything unique about them either, they’re just fruit. There’s also a few extra icons that have appeared in slots for decades, so now you might understand the description of the theme as boring.
Starting from lowest value and moving up there’s a blueberry, plums, a lemon, an orange, grapes, watermelon, a strawberry, a bell and double 7s. The wild is a joker, and he has the ability to substitute all regular symbols to create a winning payline. The only symbol the wild can’t substitute is the scatter symbol – the star.
While we were hoping for a bonus that might start a revolution and silence the critics, such as ourselves, we wouldn’t say we’ve been sorely let down, but the bonus feature certainly won’t start a revolution. It’s a good old fashioned free spins game, and while this falls into the mundane category with the theme, players won’t care in the slightest once they activate this bad boy. This is where some out your biggest takings will come. Land 3 or more scatters on the same spin and a set amount of free spins are yours.
At this stage you could be feeling a tad underwhelmed. However, all new online slots are worth trialling as they might just hold the cards that you’ve been searching for. We won’t sugar-coat the fact that much more exciting titles with better paying potential do exist out there, but Green Tube has given us a game that should be simple enough for beginners, while making sure they have a positive initial online slots experience.
