Fruit Machines

What fruit slots are

Fruit slots use cherries, lemons, watermelons, bars and sevens as symbols. We have 95 fruit slots with a free demo (November 2026), spread over 11 fruit themes and led by classic fruits (44), fresh fruits (27) and banana slots (11).

The symbols come from early casino machines: a version that dispensed fruit-flavoured gum put lemons, cherries, oranges and plums on the reels, alongside a bell and a picture of a Bell-Fruit Gum stick, which became the BAR symbol (Wikipedia).

Fruit machines in Ireland

In Ireland and Britain these games are fruit machines, named after the fruit on the reels, and you'll find them in pubs, clubs and arcades (Wikipedia). It's also how people here search: "free fruit machines" gets about 880 Google searches a month in Ireland and "fruit machines" about 90, against 10 for "fruit slots" (November 2026).

Pub machines add two buttons online games rarely have. A hold keeps a reel in place for the next spin, and a nudge moves one reel a step after a spin. Online fruit slots swap these for free spins and multipliers, though Blueprint Gaming's TED Pub Fruit, from 2019 and at 96.57% RTP, keeps the pub machine in its name.

How fruit slots differ

By format. Among the 34 games with a published format, most pay on fixed paylines (17), from Fruit Shop's 15 lines to the 100 lines of Shining Hot 100. Nine use ways to win, like Twin Spin (243) and Reel Rush (up to 3,125 in free spins). Six pay in clusters, like Fruit Party and Jammin' Jars, and two pay anywhere on the grid, like Bonanza Billion Xtreme.

By volatility. The classics tend to sit lower: Shining Crown Buy Bonus is low-medium, and Fruit Shop, Twin Spin and Reel Rush are medium. The modern fruit games are high, like Fruit Party, Jammin' Jars and Fruit Shop Frenzy, and Bonanza Billion Xtreme is very high. With €20 at 20 cent a spin you get 100 spins, and a lower-volatility classic usually stretches them further.

By max win. Old-style games cap low: Super Hot Fruits tops out at 410x and Fruit Shop at 800x. The cluster and pay-anywhere games go much higher, to 50,000x on Jammin' Jars 2. On a 20 cent spin, 800x is €160 and 50,000x is €10,000, and the bigger the cap, the rarer the top prize.

Common symbols and features in fruit slots

Cherries, lemons, oranges, watermelons and the seven turn up most; the bell and the BAR come from the old machines. Across the 95 games, 25 have free spins, 18 multipliers and 9 a jackpot, while only 4 use Megaways. The median RTP across the 49 with a published figure is 96.36%.
