Fruitburst

Simplicity done even simpler. Yes, we reckon, if we had to narrow this review down to four single words, that would suffice. Evoplay Entertainment is behind this one again and, also again, they adopt the plain and straightforward formula of naming their games (Football was about football and prohibition (go figure!). This game is as stripped down as it can be (and we are not talking about the breathtaking lady accompanying the reels) as it only has five reels, 10 paylines and one special feature!

Just a heads-up: this might be one of the most relaxing slot games you will ever play.

Theme

And speaking of simple, why not make it that? Look – this is a fruit slot machine albeit modern-ish) with a summer-y, beach-y, vacation-y feel to it. Even the soundtrack is the laziest possible version of lounge/chill Hula music. So yeah – fruits on a beach are simple and should be, period. Anyhow, yeah – the settings are what you're dreaming about, if you're a man on the edge, living in a XXI century metropolis, content that you have a half an hour lunch break as your daily office getaway.

The first thing you notice is the curvaceous, drop dead gorgeous girl in a skimpy bikini, leaning behind a tropical beach bar. Once you stop noticing that about 10 minutes later, gaze upon the topical beach paradise as game's backdrops, with turquoise waters, palm trees, parrots and surfing board sticking from sand. Equally vibrant in sublime colors are the reels and all the delicious fruit symbols there: green apple, lemon, orange, cherry, grapes, blueberries, strawberry and pineapple that works as a Wild and substitutes all other symbols. And that, honestly, is it.

Betting Options and Functions

Simple dashboard is at the bottom of the screen. It features the informative menu with the breakdown of symbols' values, brief info on the re-spin feature and payline diagram. Bets can be set from 10 to 1000 while coin value can be adjusted anywhere between 1 and 10. To the right are the Max Bet, Auto Spin and Spin buttons.

Features

This will be quick. There is only one feature, and it's not particularly special. When you land a pineapple Wild on reels 2, 3 or 4 it will expand on the reel it lands on (with a visually beautiful effect) and will trigger a re-spin, with the maximum being three re-spins.

Yep, that is all.

Our Take

So if your idea of a slot game is something bursting at the seams with extra features, mini games and all-round fast-paced action, you should have looked away as soon as you read the first sentence of this review (if it is and you haven't, sorry to have wasted your time). It just so happens that this reviewer actually loves this game, even if it has virtually nothing to offer in the extras department. Sometimes, all a guy/girl needs is a relaxing beach lay-in, some peace and quiet and a lovely landscape to rest his/her eyes on.
