Back to the Fruitsby Gamomat

As the Doc said to Marty McFly, “where we’re going we don’t need roads”. We won’t need roads, but we are going to need fruit and lots of it.

That’s because Back to the Fruits goes, well…

…back to the fruits.

Developer Gamomat has made a juicy homage to the glorious history of fruit machines that used to entertain punters around the world before there were such things as “Megaways” and “tumbling”.

But just because it’s old-fashioned doesn’t mean it’s not exciting with multipliers, wilds, and two kinds of winnings gamble features.

Theme

The name of the game is fruits. Deep in what seems to be a tropical jungle the reels of this offering are filled with fruits.

Watermelons, grapes, oranges, lemon, and cherries form the low paying and medium pay symbols.

The high places are reserved for the only non-fruits allowed at this party…

…liberty bells and lucky 7s.

The fruits in question are rendered lovingly with high gloss and water droplets and when they form a winning combo they rotate in 3D as fruits are known to do.

Betting Options and Functions

There are very few gimmicks to this game, and so it is a very standard five reel with three rows configuration.

The number of paylines is only five and they are fixed.

In this fruity utopia, players can bet as little as 10 cents or as little as 6 euros. Sorry, high rollers, this just isn’t your bag.

Special Features

Since this is a classic fruit slot, it is a little thin on special features. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing here.

Wild symbols are presented on reels 2 and 4 and substitutes for all symbols.

In addition, the central reel can be blessed with an x3 multiplier. All symbols can occur as x3 on the third reel, and increase any winning combination they’re a part of by a factor of three.

As there are no extra spins, no involved features and such it means this slot is one where the traditional five of a kind actually does pay well. A five of a kind 7 will pay out a very decent 3000 euros at the 6 euro bet level. And that’s without the multiplier which if it appears turns this into a 9000-euro win.

And:

You can gamble your winnings. The standard card gamble is here, just choose the color of the next suite and you’re golden and you doubled your win.

But an interesting addition is the ladder feature. In this gamble mode, two amounts are selected randomly, one greater and one lesser than the win amount. If you win you get the higher amount.

Our Take

Sometimes it’s nice to play something uncomplicated like a classic reel slot game and this offering delivers that.

Give it a go if you want to go down memory lane, or if you’re too young to remember when all games used to be like this.
