Fruit Macau Slot Review
Forget Las Vegas – Macau, on the south coast of China, is home to the most successful gaming capital on earth. In fact, its gambling revenue was 6 times that of Sin City in 2019, despite the fact that there are around 49 casinos in Macau versus around 135 in Vegas!
Gambling makes up 80% of Macau’s tax revenue and every year, permanent and non-permanent residents are given a stipend of $1,200 and $670 respectively. And this has been happening since 2014.
So, get ready to immerse yourself in the greatest gambling mecca ever, courtesy of Fruit Macau slot from Mascot.
Gameplay
If you weren’t aware of what I mentioned in the intro, the mishmash of themes and aesthetics in Fruit Macau slot would’ve been very confusing.
Mascot Gaming’s design includes a Macau skyline, an Asian soundtrack, and the symbols are made up of jokers (two types), fruit (naturally), crown Wilds, and star Scatters.
The reels are borderless, which allows you to see the skyline behind them. The symbols are huge in landscape mode, but in portrait, the grid doesn't stretch from edge to edge of the screen, so the symbols are smaller than they could be, although visibility is still decent.
There are 9 fixed paylines on this medium volatility game, and the RTP is 95%. The max win is only €31,248 – more suited to a low-volatility game – but at least you can play with the currency of your choosing.
Coming back to the special symbols, the Wild replaces all symbols other than the Scatter. The Scatter appears in both the base game as well as during the Free Spins round.
Features
FREE SPINS:
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters gets you into this round and awards a multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x respectively, as well as 10 spins.
Landing an additional 3, 4, or 5 Scatters will see you gifted with 10, 15, or 25 extra spins at the current multiplier value.
Performance
The gameplay I experienced during testing was consistent and solid. There were no glitches, buffering issues, or other technical worries when I played on different devices or browsers.
Maximum Win
Yeah, so the max win of €31,248 is a dismal affair. And you’ll need to keep up a sustained bet of €45 coz the max multiplier is similarly anemic, at 694.4x. If you’re not chasing that “big” win, then place your bets from €0.18 upwards.
Conclusion
I’m not sure how many players out there would be attracted to a game with this particular theme, but hey. At its heart it’s a fruit slot, irrespective of the city it’s based upon, so that shouldn’t matter too much.
The question before us is: can Fruit Macau slot deliver on the essentials? I’m gonna say no. The game offers a single feature, the max win and multipliers are not at the level they should be, and there are sh*tloads of games in this genre that will offer you more in every sense.
