Fruit Machines
In the UK fruit machines can be found in virtually all pubs, bars and clubs, not to mention seaside arcades. Originally called fruit machines from the fruit symbols which featured heavily on their reels, modern fruit machines differ from standard slot machines by offering the ability to nudge reels, hold reels and light a trail to gain access to a feature board.
Proper UK style fruit machine games are now appearing at several online casinos, and although they are not 100% authentic if you are looking for realistic fruit machines online, they offer a good alternative to traditional slots.
Depending on the fruit machine, access to the feature board can either be gained through lighting up the trail on the bottom of the board, or when certain symbols appear in view on the reels. With fruit machines which require a trail to be filled, many of the symbols have numbers on them - when these appear on the win line you advance that many places along the scale. Often there is a bonus button half way along the trail which offers features such as random stop, skill stop, nudges, advance trail etc.
Different fruit machines have different feature boards, but most have sudden death squares which will end the feature if you land on them. Others have a ? square, which may be good or bad, providing extra lives, nudges, bonus cash, or yes/no continues or sudden death.
The simplest form of feature board is found on Microgamings Game On Slot which consists of three cash trails - and unlike many fruit machines a cash prize is guaranteed if you hit the feature.
