Fruit machines are the original form of the slot: cherries, lemons, bells, sevens and BAR symbols on familiar reels. Classic slots are simple and quick to play, and many are still widely played even though newer games carry far more features.
This category gathers classic-style slots. Below we explain how a traditional fruit slot works, how three- and five-reel games differ and what to know about RTP and volatility.
A traditional fruit slot usually has three or five reels and a fixed number of paylines. You win when matching symbols land on a payline from left to right. The paytable lists the symbol values: fruit usually pays the least, sevens and stars the most. Many classic games have no bonus round at all, or only one or two extras such as a wild symbol or a gamble feature.
A three-reel game is closest to the old mechanical machines: few paylines and a result you can read at a glance. Five-reel classics add more paylines and sometimes expanding or wild symbols, while keeping the layout easy to follow.
Simple looks say nothing about risk. Some fruit slots are low volatility with frequent small wins, while others are high volatility with wins concentrated in rare hits. NetEnt's Jackpot 6000, for example, is listed in our catalogue at 98.90% RTP with high volatility. Novomatic's Sizzling Hot deluxe, Play'n GO's Fire Joker, Booming Games' Booming Seven Deluxe, EGT Digital's 100 Joker Roll and NetEnt's Twin Spin are among their studios' most-played games at our casinos.
