3 Fruits 10 Lines Slot Review

If you thought Playson was done making classic fruit slots, you are wrong. 3 Fruits: 10 Lines is the newest slot game in Playson’s catalogue of slot games, and it’s as interesting as ever. It seems like fruit games never run out of steam even though they have been present ever since the days of brick-and-mortar casinos being the only choice if you wanted to play a slot game.

If you are thinking about trying this slot out for the first time, it would be a good idea to read through the review, as we’re going to go over every detail that we think a player would find interesting in a game like this.

At first glance 3 Fruits: 10 Lines doesn’t offer anything different when compared to other retro fruit games, but whether this truly is the case remains to be seen. Luckily for Playson many players have fond memories of playing fruit slots, and there’s still room to play the nostalgia card, but if that’s enough to keep our attention long enough to make this game worth playing, we have to look at every aspect of it.

So, stay tuned, and we’ll take you through the game and see what it has to offer to both new, and veteran players alike.

 

RTP and Variance

RTP

No slot review would be complete without a look at the things that make this game tick. Even though practically invisible RTP and variance are contributing factors to the whole gameplay experience, they can either make or break the game for some people.

RTP or return to player rate is an indicator of how much money you can potentially win back for each €100 wagered. With an RTP rate of 96.21%, 3 Fruits: 10 Line has the potential of giving back €96 for each €100 wagered, which is quite decent for a slot game. However, this is just a number the game has the potential to give back to you. Still an interesting figure.

 

Variance

When it comes to variance, this is the variable that dictates how often the game will reward you. Low variance means that the game will reward you more often, but the rewards will be smaller, whereas high variance means that the game will reward you less often, but the rewards will be bigger. It’s a mechanic that’s easy to understand, and whether you like it or not depends on your playstyle. With a medium variance 3 Fruits 10 Lines is paced moderately and you can expect medium rewards and not to wait too much before they start dropping.

 

Featured Symbols

To nobody’s surprise, the featured symbols in the game are all fruit related. There isn’t much variety you can go for when making a fruit-themed slot and Playson seems to be sticking to the basic “better safe than sorry” formula. But the fruit symbols do look good and shiny, which kind of makes up for the lack of variety or lack of different symbols.

We will take a look at the value multiplier of each symbol, to get a feel for how rewarding the game is:

 

Cherry symbol

– x3 symbols for 1.00, x4 symbols for 2.50, x5 symbols for 15.00

 

Lemon symbol

– x3 symbols for 1.00, x4 symbols for 2.50, x5 symbols for 15.00

 

Orange symbol

– x3 symbols for 1.50, x4 symbols for 5.00, x5 symbols for 20.00

 

Plum symbol

– x3 symbols for 1.50, x4 symbols for 5.00, x5 symbols for 20.00

 

Grape symbol

– x3 symbols for 3.00, x4 symbols for 15.00, x5 symbols for 50.00

 

7 symbol

– x3 symbols for 5.00, x4 symbols for 50.00, x5 symbols for 250.00

 

Star symbol

– x3 symbols for 2.00, x4 symbols for 10.00, x5 symbols for 50.00

 

Watermelon symbol

– x3 symbols for 3.00, x4 symbols for 15.00, x5 symbols for 50.00

 

These are all the symbols featured in the game, listed from low-paying to high-paying symbols. The Star symbol is also the Scatter symbol which pays you independently of the paylines in the game. This means that the Scatter symbols don’t have to be adjacent, they just have to land on the reels in the appropriate number.

 

Bonus Features

Playson has decided not to include any bonus features in 3 Fruits: Lines and all of the gameplay is focused solely on the main game. While this may upset some players, some players might find it a relief that a retro fruit slot features no bonus game, free spins or anything similar, just plain old reels and fruits.

With simple gameplay mechanics and a simple reward layout, your attention is focused solely on the enjoyment of the main game, with no added mechanics to make the game more complex or harder to understand.

While this concept doesn’t work very often, if there’s one place it can work, it’s in the fruit slots genre. So, if you’d like to play a game with no additional mechanics and no added mechanics 3 Fruits: 10 Lines may be a good fit for you.

 

Graphics and Mobile Compatibility

Graphics are in line with other fruit games released by Playson. Even though all of the symbols featured in the game are the same we’ve already seen in other fruits games, they look nice and detailed, and their illustrations make them pop out off the screen. Playson has a way of making retro games look good and this is the case with 3 Fruits: 10 Lines as well. The background is purple which might remind some of the veteran players of the old purple carpets found in brick-and-mortar casinos further enforcing that feeling of nostalgia.

If you are a person who enjoys playing slot games on a mobile phone, worry not. 3 Fruits 10 Lines runs on HTML5 which makes it fully mobile compatible with any device running Android or iOS and has an up-to-date browser and an active internet connection. The graphics remain visually pleasing on a smaller screen as well, which just adds to the overall gameplay experience.
