Not much different than the regular slot machines or video slot games, Fruit Machines are also referred to as one-armed bandits and AWP (Amusement with Prizes). The name comes from the United Kingdom where most Fruit Machines are found in pubs (bars), arcades and clubs. Although they are a form of slot machine, Fruit Machines are considered a game of their own and are not offered in the casinos of the UK. The main difference between a regular a slot machine and Fruit machine is that the later does require a level of skill.

Adapted to the Internet, Fruit Machines are a bit more basic in their presentation compared to other highly complicated video slots and still use many of the basic features of the original slot machines including the 3 reels. Our online slots guide aims to inform palyers about differences in great detail. Fortunately the lack of reels is compensated by the colorful graphics and designs as well as the quirky and cheeky themes.

How to Play Fruit Machines

The player usually deposits a coin or a token into the machine and either pulls the handle or presses a button to make the reels spin.

Since skill is involved in Fruit Machines, there are certain features and options that the player must be aware of. These are best learned by reading about that specific machine and its features. Many games may look the same but it’s the subtle features that make them attractive to each player.

Rules

Because of its simplicity and one person playing against the machine/computer, there really aren’t too many rules that the player needs to follow. Don’t kick the “machine” and don’t play more than one “machine” when the pub is crowded.

Strategy of Fruit Machines

Because Fruit Machines do involve a certain amount of skill, there is some strategy to winning on these machines. Fruit Machines usually have hidden features which can help you with a strategy. Unfortunately this only applies to actual machines and not to online play.

Bar Codes are what to look for in many of these games as they reveal certain features when landing on these symbols, as these give you options as to select either “hit” or “ hold”. Another strategy is called forcing, which is based on a streak and is where the large jackpot can be won. In this strategy a player keeps pumping money into the machine and leaving the winnings in the machine. The assumption is that since the machine hasn’t paid out in a certain time frame, that when it finally does, it will be larger than usual. The only problem with this approach is that the player can spend a lot of money and still end up not winning the jackpot.

As with any type of strategy, the player is working to increase their chances of winning, unfortunately with any game were you are playing against the house, the odds are always in the house’s favor.

Terms

Terms used for Fruit Machines use most of the same terms as regular slot and video slot but as always there are a few variations

Pay lines, payouts, reel, bonus, stake, total bet, total win, balance, spin, bonus round, lines coins credits, cheats, hold, nudge, cash ladder, bar code and bonus trail.

Variations

Since Fruit Machines are a variation of slot machines, there isn’t really too much difference in the type Fruit Machines. Of course the look and presentation of the machines are different, but for the most part they all work on the same concept.

The only real difference to these machines is the different features and options available. But remember since a Fruit Machine is defined as a slot where there is some skill involved, all Fruit Machines have features relating a level of skill.

History of Fruit Machines

Fruit Slots Games

The slot machine or Fruit Machine gained its popularity by leaving the player to their own devices and not involving other players, a dealer or anyone else involved in the game. The intimidation of Craps, Black Jack and other table games led many players to the comfort and security of the slots. As the basic setup of the table games remained the same, Fruit Slots offered first-time gamers to the slot experience with the addition of added features, including bonus features, second screen play and progressive jackpots.

As with any history, especially in the gambling world, there are many people who would like to take credit and many others with varying opinions. So let’s just start with the “fact” that the slot machine came about in the late 19th century.

The popularity grew in the early part of the 20th century along with the gambling industry as a whole. The machines were very basic and rudimentary and sometimes the payouts were free drinks instead of money. Although the fundamentals remained constant, appearance and marketing became more original and important.

With slots becoming popular and lucrative, many were placed into drinking establishments where those seeking to compliment the vice of alcohol, could occupy there time. The original Fruit Machines did not pay put money but instead offered drinks or cigarettes. The Fruit Machine became a staple in the 1960s as they were usually placed in high trafficked areas. Regulation of these machines increased in the 60’s as new laws were introduced stating that since a prize was offered, there had to be some sort of skill involved in winning.

Although still popular, the next leap came in 1963 with the introduction of the electromechanical machine called Money Honey by Ballys. The first of what we now know as a Video Slot appeared in 1976. As the technology increased, Fruit Machines were able to be a bit more creative with their features and presentation. But the biggest leap came in the mid 2000’s with the introduction of online Fruit Machines. As the sites introduced these games, their popularity soared and has been increasing since that time.

Popular Culture

Because there is not much on the Fruit Machines in popular culture, I will focus on slots in general and some video slots as well. Popular culture has most influenced Video Slots through certain products and trends being integrated into the theme of the games. Because of the technology, such things as popular films and TV series have become a part of the slot experience. Movies such as Terminator 2 and Aliens are a natural fit as they do more to enhance the gaming experience by just including an added bonus feature. Also movies such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail and The Hangover are used as the movie clips, characters and props can be incorporated to improve the game. Sometimes they go too far and it’s just overkill, but most of the time there is some real excitement and fun added to the game.

Fruit Slot Machine Bonus Game

The bonus game is activated by turning all 4 blue berries in the logo purple.

The longer you can protect it the better as each berry hitting it will lower your life gauge and just for fun the berries increase in speed as time goes on.
The smaller the berry the high the points you get for hitting or blocking it, red berries are worth the most.
