Online Fruit Machines
Fruit machines are UK-style slot machines. Although the term fruit machine carries with it several connotations, it is primarily a term used to describe the coin-operated gambling machines with spinning reels that are commonly referred to by Americans as slot machines or poker machines
The earliest gambling machines were manufactured in the late 19th Century, but the first 3-reel slot machine was built in 1906. Since then, thousands of different designs have been developed, with various themes, colours, and sound effects.
The original fruit machines or AWP (Amusement with Prizes) Games can still be found in many pubs and arcades, featuring 3 reels (though some have up to 6), with various theme pictures that spin and line up across a single "payline" and offer real money or prizes.
Now there are online fruit machines, offering many of the same features and more, that you can play from the privacy of your home in an online casino.
Special Fruit Machine FeaturesIn addition to spinning reels, fruit machines (to differentiate them from ordinary slot machines) offer a secondary game of sorts. If you spin the proper combination on Cash-n-Curry you can play an additional game which allows you to move your pint about the board to win more money. In Pandamonium, the feature game allows you to spin the wheel for additional cash, nudges, and hidden features.
Other special features of fruit machines include the Nudge and Hold buttons. If, for example, the fruit machine reels spin to pepper-pepper-lemon, you can hold the two first reels and re-spin only the third. Moreover, if you see that the third reel is only one notch away from the coveted curry pepper, you can "nudge" it into place. Regular slot machines do not offer these options, which are unique to fruit machines.
Winning Fruit Machines
Due to their special features, fruit machines are more tactical games than regular online slots, and involve a bit more strategy to play and win.
The secondary game on a fruit machine often allows for higher winnings than regular online slot machines, and can offer up to 2000 times the jackpot.
