Fruit Shop review
Most slots make you chase scatters for free spins. Fruit Shop, released by NetEnt in November 2011, hands them out for ordinary fruit wins instead, and every payout inside the round is doubled. It runs on a 5x3 grid with 15 lines, a wild that doubles the wins it joins, and a published hit frequency of 27%. The trade-off for that steady design is a low ceiling of 800x the bet.
Free spins from line wins
According to NetEnt, free spins are awarded by fruit symbol wins, with the number of spins set by the paytable. During the round, every bet line win pays double, and wins that involve a wild pay four times.
Each line win inside the free spins can award more spins, again following the paytable, so the round continues for as long as new line wins keep arriving. The paytable itself is not part of our source, so the exact numbers of spins per fruit are not given here.
Free Spins
Triggered by fruit symbol wins. All line wins in the round are doubled, and wins with a wild are multiplied by four. Further line wins add more spins according to the paytable, so the round can extend itself.
Wild
Shown as the game logo on a yellow background. It substitutes for any symbol, pulses when it completes a line, and doubles every line win it is part of.
Grid, lines and bets
The layout is five reels by three rows with 15 lines. NetEnt lists the bet range as €0.15 to €150 per spin. The look is traditional fruit-machine, with bright colours.
Frequency and return
The published hit frequency is 27%, so roughly one spin in four returns something. Volatility is rated Medium. Those two figures together describe a game that pays fairly often in small amounts.
The RTP is 96.71%, a 3.29% house edge, which works out to $32.90 kept from every $1,000 wagered on average.
The top win is 800x the bet: $160 at $0.20, $800 at $1 and $4,000 at $5. A hundred spins at $1 cost $3.29 on average and a hundred at $5 cost $16.45.
Fruit Shop spin-offs
Fruit Shop Christmas keeps the same 96.71%, Medium rating and 800x cap. The later titles take a different direction: Fruit Shop Megaways lists 96.06% at High volatility with 5,200x, Fruit Shop Grand Re - Opening 96.37% at Very high with 5,000x, and Fruit Shop Frenzy 96.18% at Very high with 10,868x.
Sweety Honey Fruity also matches the 96.71% RTP, Medium rating and 800x cap.
Pros
- Free spins come from ordinary fruit wins, not scatters
- Doubled line wins in free spins, quadrupled with a wild
- Published 27% hit frequency and Medium volatility
- 96.71% RTP
Cons
- Low 800x maximum win
- Free spins counts depend on a paytable not covered here
- No free demo on this page
Verdict
Fruit Shop is a steady, readable slot: fruit wins award free spins, payouts double inside the round and the wild doubles the lines it joins. A 27% hit frequency, Medium volatility and a 96.71% RTP point to frequent small results, while the 800x cap keeps the top end modest. It suits players who prefer regular activity to big swings and play within a fixed budget.
