Fruit Duel Slot Review

Fruit Duel Slot Overview

Fruit Duel from Hacksaw Gaming throws me straight into a small but explosive slot with a hefty dose of vitamin C. The compact 3x3 grid runs on 17 paylines, with bets between 0.10 and 100 per spin, so it suits both low stakes fun and more serious sessions. With an RTP of 96.3% and lower volatility, the slot keeps hits coming while still holding that 3333x max win in sight.

Fruit Duel feels like a classic fruit machine that has been given the DuelReels mechanic to shake things up. Every spin carries that tease of a VS symbol dropping in and turning a normal reel into a wild multiplier, so even the base game never feels dull. As someone who enjoys quick, focused play, I like how this Pocketz style title strips away clutter and keeps the action clear.

Fruit Duel Slot Information

Visually, Fruit Duel places me on a lush farm, with barns blurred in the distance and reels framed by thick green foliage and colourful fruits. The peaceful and uplifting theme comes through in the relaxed soundtrack and bright symbols, giving it that hanging-at-the-beach vibe they were aiming for. I play it mostly on mobile, and the simple 3x3 reel setup works well on a small screen without feeling cramped.

Fruit Duel Symbols and Paytable

In Fruit Duel the paytable sticks to proper fruit machine roots. The lower paying symbols are blueberries, lemons, grapes and oranges, paying between 0.10x and 0.20x the bet for three of a kind. The higher paying symbols are apples, bananas, cherries and strawberries, where a full line pays from 1x up to 5x the stake. You need three matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel to score.

The wild symbol is a bunch of grapes marked WILD, and three wilds on a payline also pay 5x the bet, just like strawberries. Free Spins symbols show grapes with Free Spins written on them, and three of those start the bonus round. The VS symbol is the real star in this paytable though, as it can expand its reel and bring multipliers that change a small win into something far juicier.

Fruit Duel Slot Features

The DuelReels feature in Fruit Duel triggers whenever a VS symbol lands. That symbol can expand to cover the whole reel, but only if it will be part of at least one winning combination. Two fruits with multipliers then duel on that reel, and the winner applies its value to the entire reel, which turns wild. The multipliers range from 2x through 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 75x up to 100x.

If more than one DuelReel lands in Fruit Duel and they both take part in a win, the multipliers add together before being applied, which is where things can really heat up. Landing three Free Spins symbols awards 10 free spins, with no retrigger, but a much better chance of landing VS symbols on the grid and seeing those higher multiplier values appear when fruits clash.

When I do not fancy grinding the base game, the Bonus Buy in Fruit Duel gives two choices. For 10x the bet you get FeatureSpins, where every spin is guaranteed to land at least one VS symbol and the RTP sits around 96.35%. For 80x the stake you jump straight into the free spins bonus on roughly 96.36% RTP, which feels about right for a lower volatility 3x3 fruit slot.

Fruit Duel Slot Conclusion

For me Fruit Duel works as a carefree fruit slot that still has some proper punch thanks to DuelReels and those wild multipliers. The lower volatility and modest 3333x max win keep it from the brutal swings I see in heavier Hacksaw titles, yet the game still throws up lively hits when several VS symbols line up. If you want a compact fruit adventure with expanding wild reels, it is well worth a spin.
