Fruit Duel Slot Review

Fruit Duel Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Fruit Duel slot is played on 3 reels, 3 rows and 17 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are simply created when 3 matching symbols appear on successive reels across any of the paylines, beginning from reel 1.

Playable from 10p to £100 per spin, go to the Bet box below the reels and use the up and down arrows to adjust accordingly. For non-UK players, there’s an Autoplay function which allows up to 1,000 autospins along with single win and loss limits. Also not available in the UK is a Turbo and Super Turbo Modes which increase spin speed significantly.

The Fruit Duel RTP is 96.3% which is better than the 96% slots norm. There is also a 94.48% RTP version. The best UK slot sites will offer the higher RTP rate though. With a 22.62% hit frequency rate, expect a win every 3.75 spins on average.

The volatility is in the medium bracket and classed as 3/5. The maximum win is 3,333 x your total bet. Key to big wins are the multipliers which can reach 100x and combine.

Theme – fruit packed with juicy duels

With a fruit theme, the Fruit Duel slot is set at the bottom of a lovely garden. With houses in the distance, the visuals are bright and colourful. The reels are encased in a hut and the soundtrack is a pleasant toe-tapping tune. Aesthetically quite basic, it’s a world away from the likes of Hand of Anubis or Outlaws Inc.

On the reels you will see an assortment of fruit symbols. There are blueberries, lemons, grapes, oranges, apples, bananas, cherries and strawberries. The strawberry symbol is the highest paying with 3 in combination awarding 5 x your total bet.

The blackberry symbol is the wild and substitutes for all other paying symbols. Like the strawberry, 3 on a payline awards a 5 x bet payout. Other symbols include beauty berry free spins scatters and the VS (more details below).

Fruit Duel Bonus Features

The Fruit Duel slot comes with 3 bonus features. Key to the action is the VS symbol which sees 2 fruits battle it out to with the duel. It’s multiplier, up to 100x, will then apply to the win. Multiple multipliers will be added together too. In the Free Spins feature, more VS symbols land and high multipliers will be awarded.

DuelReels feature

When the VS symbol lands, it triggers the DuelReels feature. An expanded reel is activated with a duel taking place between 2 fruits with multipliers. The fruit that wins the duel will apply its multiplier to the entire reel. The reel then becomes a multiplier wild.

If more than 1 wild reel is part of a winning combination, the multiplier values are added together and applied to the win. Possible multiplier values are between 2 and 100x (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 75x or 100x).

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is triggered when landing 3 Beauty Berry Free Spins scatters. The setting turns to night as you are awarded 10 free spins to begin with.

Your chances of landing VS symbols increases compared to the base game. Furthermore, you are more likely to land higher multiplier values in the duel.

Buy Bonus feature

As with other Hacksaw Gaming slots, there is a Buy Bonus feature for players outside the UK. You can buy your way into the Free Spins feature or choose the FeatureSpins option where you play the DuelReels feature on every spin. Here’s what the 2 options entail:

Fruit Duel Review Summary – fruit battle it out for big multipliers

The Fruit Duel slot is a simple game which focuses on multipliers basically. Visually, it has similarities to King Carrot and it comes with VS symbols like in Warrior Ways.

However, the key to winning big in Fruit Duel is by landing 2 VS symbols which will see the multiplier values added together. That said, you need 2 higher multipliers which will apply to a high value symbol to achieve the max win of 3,333 x bet.

The Free Spins feature feels like a formality really but there is an increased chance of VS symbols and higher multipliers according to Hacksaw Gaming. I haven’t seen any evidence to support this of yet. Hacksaw’s very own Gladiator Legends slot also has VS symbols and battles. It does offer multipliers up to 1,000 x and 10,000 x bet max wins.

In summary, Fruit Duel will be of interest to players who like basic fruit machine slots. Unfortunately, it’s not one of Hacksaw Gaming’s most appealing releases.
