Review of Fruit Zen Slot
In a world of crazy deadlines, bustling traffic and even flashier online casino games Betsoft offers you the chance to sit back and relax. Take in the setting sun, get lost in the languid ebb and flow of the current and regain your centre with their latest online slot, Fruit Zen.
Slot Theme
Fruit Zen is an online slot machine that hearkens back to the classic days of pub fruit machines combined with the gorgeous aesthetic of Eastern design and music. With its soft colours, slowly rolling waters and distinctly Asian theme (both audio and visual) you will find yourself reaching your Zen as you spin away the stress of the day.
Symbols and Soundtrack
In creating a truly soulful gaming experience stripped bare of overwhelm and noise there was no better selection of slot symbols than those that epitomise the golden age of slot machines. Betsoft Gaming’s design studio took the beloved Watermelon symbol, Lemon symbol, Cherry symbol and Orange symbol dusted them off, gave them a modern 3D treatment and set them adrift against a soft oceanic background.
While they are bordered by an Asian inspired wooden frame the symbols themselves appear to be set in a glass pane that allows you to truly appreciate the beauty of the purple sky behind them.
Setting this wooden frame in the water rather than in front of it creates a real sense of depth and cohesion as the swells gently lap against and even over the base of the frame. This connection between water and slot machine ensures that the high gloss look of the slot symbols flows with the overall aesthetic of the game as they appear to be wet and shiny. Even the wooden buttons for Max Bet, Spin and AutoPlay have their high gloss shine supported by this allowing them to fit the scene perfectly.
Initially the one choice which does seem at odds with the overall feel of Fruit Zen is the sound and design profile of a winning line. When you win a burst of light travels the payline you’ve activated accompanied by a laser-like sound effect most associated with an arcade or space themed slot machine.
Rather than discredit the overall Zen theme this burst of life seems to affirm the need for, and pleasure of, the peace and quiet provided by the rest of the gameplay.
Bonus Features
Fruit Zen is one of those rare online slots that does not suffer from a lack of extensive Bonus Features and an overabundance of mini games, rather its overall appeal is heightened by the simplicity of its offering.
Landing the usual 3-5 symbols on the reels will allow you to benefit from this 5 Reel, 10 Paylines dual direction winning line payouts. If you’re looking to elevate not only your mind but your credit balance then be on the lookout for five Orange symbols as they payout 2500 credits.
Fruit Zen wild symbols only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 – when they do it is a magical experience. The one reason being it happens incredibly infrequently, the other is that when it does appear the entire reel is filled by the word “Wild” set on a lush bed of vines and stylised Peony flowers. This Fruit Zen Wild also gives you an automatic free respin at your current bet settings. It is possible to fill all three reels with Wilds and this will trigger an additional respin per reel.
Summary
Fruit Zen is an online slot designed to create some peace in your day, and while enriching your soul it can also enrich your coin balance. Take the time to explore a gentler and more soothing slot experience with Betsoft Gaming.
