If you like your fruit machines on the complicated side make sure you know how to play them. If you are not sure about what certain things mean like when the lights on the machine go red all you have to do is watch another player, or even better ask another player in the local arcade. There is always someone who knows how to play them, its just a matter of getting the right training.

8 – Snipping

While I am not a personal fan of this method it does work more times than not. All you have to do is keep an eye out for someone on a losing streak, wait till they are gone (give it 10-15 minutes) then jump onto that losing machine. More times than not that short break causes the machine to then start paying out.

7 – Percentage Payouts

While putting £10 into an 80% payout fruit machine doesn’t guarantee you £8 back, it does mean it is more likely to payout than let’s say a 60% or a 70%. It might not guarantee you a win playing only the higher payout percentages, but it will increase your odds of a payout overall.

6 – Wedging

Are you in a skill selection and the moving bar is going too fast to get what you want? Take a look at the cancel button as it might be flashing. If you simply hold it down the skill wave bar will slow down making selection of what you want easier. While this doesn’t happen all the time it is worth keeping an eye out for.

5 – Button Tapping

If you have just had a win you want to tap those hold buttons because sometimes it will hold the win, but the lights don’t always flash, or do so after a short delay, so get tapping those holds after every win!

4 – Hold After Nudges

Have you got a hold immediately after doing some nudges? Simply leave it and don’t hold anything and press the spin button! On most machines, a win will roll in automatically, but this will only happen if you had 2 winning fruits on the win line.

3 – Extra Nudges

Has the machine only given you 3 nudges and you need 4 or more to bring in a win? Just nudge 2 winning fruits/bars in and leave the other nudge to the machine. After 20-30 seconds the machine will often bring the win in even though it only had one nudge.

2 – Double Holds

While it doesn’t happen on all fruit machines most of them will bring in a win after the 2 hold. So even if the machine keeps giving you holds its worth doing it time and time again.

1 – Coin Backing

While it won’t guarantee you a win it is still a sign that a fruit machine has not paid out for a while or hasn’t paid out at all that day. When you put a coin in have a listen to where it falls. If its quick to drop it’s staying in the top tubs ready to be paid out, but if it drops into the coin hub in the bottom of the machine it might be worth a play!

Introduction to Fruit Reel Symbols

Why do slot machines use fruit reel symbols? Well, to understand why this tradition came to be, we’ll have to delve into slot machine history. Slot machines are gambling devices. At first, they weren’t slot machines. Nor were they always fruit machines.

Reel symbols are often traditional, including stars, bars, numbers, and various pictured fruits. Fruits can include cherries, plums, oranges, lemons, and watermelons.

One-Armed Bandits

Initially, slot machines were one-armed bandits. Later, in Great Britain, they became fruit machines. Why? Because pulling a handle activated it. That’s how you’d make a bet. Nowadays, of course, we can also push a button.

Making a bet happens after entering coins, tokens, cash, or casino credits. Subsequently, the player makes a bet, and the reels with symbols begin to spin. When done spinning, the reel symbols shown lined up along pay lines determine the payout, if any.

Fruit Machine Reels Reviews

The Industry Novelty Company, run by O. D. Jennings, first used fruit reel symbols. This moment in history was a time when legal restrictions on slot machines were beginning. For example, San Francisco banned all 3,300 slot machines within the city in 1909.

To circumvent these new laws on cash-paying slot machines, manufacturers began turning their gambling devices into chewing gum dispensers. They did this by replacing card number and suit reel symbols with fruit reel symbols.

After this change, the reels showed fruit symbols. As a result, any wins were various flavors of gum, as indicated by the winning fruit reel symbols.

Plus, every “bet” resulted in a win. Therefore, these machines stopped being betting machines an authentically became automatic vending machines.

A Bit More History

Before 1907, slot machines that paid out in coins had already existed for 20 years. Charles Fey of San Francisco invented coin-dispensing slot machines in April 1887.

Before 1887, slot machines were one-armed bandits. The game played was a form of poker. Winning combinations resulted in allowing the player free drinks or cigars.

These machines usually had five reels with ten cards per reel. This collection of reel symbols totaled 50 cards from the standard 52-card deck. The two cards excluded were the Ten of Spades and the Jack of Hearts.

For those readers that play poker, you’ll understand that leaving these two cards out of the deck halved the chance of receiving a Royal Flush. This jackpot was the big prize.

Summary of Fruit Reel Symbols

Starting in 1907, Industry Novelty began turning out Bell Fruit Gum slot machines. Another early slot machine manufacturer, Mills Novelty Company, began producing them in 1910.

Reel To Reel Machine

The reels on these slot machines included cherry, melon, orange, apple, and bar symbols with non-cash payouts in the form of fruit-flavored gum, allowing machine owners to avoid prosecution under the anti-gambling laws of that time.

The cherry and bar symbols became traditional to slot machines still commonly used today. The bar symbol was a company logo of a slot manufacturer meant to resemble a stick of gum.
