Fruit Shop is NetEnt's fruit-machine slot: five reels, three rows and 15 fixed lines that pay from left to right. Its free spins come straight from ordinary line wins. In the main game every winning line of matching fruit awards one to five of them, and inside the round every line win pays double and adds more. The wild lands only on the three middle reels and doubles any line win it joins.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time, as NetEnt publishes it.

Where Fruit Shop comes from
NetEnt released Fruit Shop on 11 November 2011. It also lists Fruit Shop Megaways and a Christmas edition, each as a separate game on its own page. This page covers the 2011 original only. If a lobby tile carries a longer name, the game's information screen tells you which one you have open.
How Fruit Shop works
Every spin plays all 15 fixed lines. A line pays when matching symbols run from the leftmost reel to the right without a gap, each line pays only its best win, and wins on different lines add up.
Besides the wild, the reels carry five fruits (cherries, a watermelon, an orange, a plum and a lemon) and the card ranks A to 10. The wild is the Fruit Shop logo on a yellow background. For free spins, cherries count from two in a row and every other symbol from three.
The wild: middle reels only, one x2 per line
The wild lands only on reels 2, 3 and 4, in the main game and in free spins, and stands in for every symbol. Any line win with a wild in it is doubled, once, however many wilds the line holds.
Reels 1 and 5 never show a wild, so every line win starts with a real symbol on the leftmost reel, and that symbol sets the pay. Five of a kind also needs the symbol itself on reel 5.
Free spins awarded per line win
The same numbers apply in the main game, where only fruit wins award spins, and during free spins, where every line win adds them.
| Line win of | Two | Three | Four | Five |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cherries | 1 | 1 | 2 | 5 |
| Watermelon, orange, plum or lemon | - | 1 | 2 | 5 |
| A, K, Q, J or 10, in free spins only | - | 1 | 2 | 5 |
Free spins: every win keeps the round going
In the main game, every fruit line win pays and also awards its own free spins. Card-rank wins pay but award no spins there.
Inside the round every line win is doubled, and a line with a wild in it pays x4. Every line win, fruit or card rank, also adds spins, and the round ends only when the counter reaches zero and the last spin brings no new win.
In rand: a line worth R1 at your stake pays R2 with a wild in the main game, R2 in free spins, and R4 in free spins with a wild. A round started by one line of three fruits is a single free spin, and it goes on only if that spin wins.
