Prepare For Fruit Machine Mania

Liquid Games announced Fruit Machine Mania, a scintillating compilation of slot machine-inspired games. The twist is that the traditional gambling element associated with these games has been removed, opening up the thrill of the spinning reels to gamers of all ages.

Fruit Machine Mania features six exciting and diverse machines, which the player unlocks in sequence by building up points through skilful play. Players start with a set number of 'turns', which
are used to set the machine in motion and win points. Bonus games can be triggered to win back turns as the game expands the play experience beyond what a traditional fruit machine can offer.

The game opens with Card Master, a traditional card-based slot experience with a single pay line. Later machines are less conventional, with Sea Treasures taking sub-aquatic inspiration and World Travel playing out like a slot machine holiday. Each machine feels very different, giving variety to the play experience.

As the number of points to unlock subsequent machines rises, so do the gameplay possibilities. Factor in multiple win lines and bonus minigames, and Fruit Machine Mania sustains its fun and challenge to the last spin of the reels.

Kevin Hassall, Liquid Games Publishing Director commented: "The fruit machine is an entertainment icon in the UK, and we wanted to broaden the appeal. In keeping with the inclusive, family-friend ethos of the Liquid brand, we have designed a fruit machine game that can be enjoyed by players of all ages. "Fruit machines are universally recognised and understood, so we expect mainstream gamers to snap this game up at our value-for-money Liquid Games price point."
