Fruit Duel Review

Fruity slots is hardly something new from this developer, but if you look a bit deeper you’ll see that Hacksaw has deviated from their tried and tested “formula” in several ways in Fruit Duel. The classic 3x3 grid is not something this developer is famous for, and they’ve also sliced the usual 10,000x potential down to 3,333x. The medium volatility is far less brutal than usual though, so this may please the casual crowd.

Visually, this is among their most simple releases so far, with bright colors and an overall cartoonish presentation. Different versions of the trademarked DuelReels feature has been seen in earlier installments, and it gives you up to x100 multiplier wild reels in this release. You get more of the same in the bonus round, and we don’t see any harm in Hacksaw adding a more lighthearted alternative to the mix.

Fruit Duel Slot Features

The fruit symbols pay between 0.1 and 5 x your stake for 3 of a kind wins, and you can land Wilds on all 3 reels. Wild symbols step in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and they pay the same as the top-tier strawberry symbol if wilds should form a winning combination of their own.

The DuelReels feature triggers when a VS symbol lands anywhere in view, and the reel with a VS symbol becomes a wild reel. If the top and bottom symbols get a multiplier assigned to them, the symbols will duel to determine which of the 2 multipliers should be added to the wild. The VS symbol only generates a wild reel if this leads to a win, and the possible multiplier values are x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, x15, x20, x25, x50, x75 and x100.

The Bonus Round triggers when 3 free spins scatters appear in view, and this gives you 10 free spins. The feature plays out like the base game, but your chances of landing VS symbols is higher. It’s also easier to get higher multipliers from the duel feature.

Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, may buy the bonus round for 80x the stake (96.36 % RTP). You can also purchase a spin with a guaranteed VS symbol for 10x the stake (96.35 % RTP).

You get to see a few smaller wins, before we purchase the Feature Spin with a guaranteed VS symbol at 0:21 into the 2-minute highlights video. A larger payout came from 2 VS symbols towards the middle of the video, and we then purchase the bonus round at the 1:10-mark. You can see it all for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Fruit Duel is not your typical Hacksaw release, which is probably the point. A lighthearted theme is usually not reflected in the math model from this developer, but it is this time. You get a casual medium volatile game with a lower-than-usual 3,333x potential, and the 3x3 grid size is also a deviation from their usual formula. It can be a good idea to break from patterns once in a while, we found Fruit Duel to be quite enjoyable overall.

Sure, we’ve seen the duel feature before, in far darker installments such as Gladiator Legends and Warrior Ways, but it’s fun to see which fruit gets squashed each time. Decent multiplier wins are possible in all stages, but more likely in the bonus round.

This is the second “light side” release from Hacksaw after a string of successful “dark side” releases, and it will be interesting to see when this “Jekyll & Hyde” developer switches personality again.

Pros

• DuelReels™ w/ possible full wild reel multiplier
• The multiplier values can go as high as x100
• FS w/ more DuelReels and higher multipliers
• Win up to 3,333x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
