Ninja Fruits

The fruit theme meets the ninja theme with Ninja Fruits, a surprisingly well-designed slot machine from Play 'n Go. There's a lot going on here, so let's get into it.

The game has five reels and three rows set in a pagoda. There are 15 pay lines, nestled in numbered paper lanterns along the sides of the reels. The minimum bet is .01 credits. The maximum is 18.75 credits per spin.

Icons include a plum, a strawberry, an orange, a pineapple, a watermelon, two different male ninjas, and two different female ninjas. There are no playing card symbols in this game.

And the old man with a long white beard is the wild. He will substitute for any icon you need to make a win.

The shuriken (throwing star) is the bonus icon. When three of them appear on reels three, four and five, you get to go to the bonus game. In this new screen, there are fruits displayed. You take the shuriken ninja star and try to hit them. When you hit one, you'll earn instant credits. But when you miss the fruit, you'll be taken back to the main game.

The geisha is the scatter icon. Three geishas on the first, third and fifth reels means that the geisha will take over the screen and twirl her umbrella. Then she will use her decorative fan to reveal how many free spins you've won and the re-spin round will start.

Every time you score a win in regular gameplay, there is an optional gamble feature. The screen clears and you'll be shown a playing card. Bet on the color of the card to double your money. Bet on the suit to get four times your usual payout.
