Super Berry Slots
If you’re tired of playing classic slots that serve up the same old fruits in the form of cherries, melons, oranges, lemons, plums and grapes, perhaps it’s time you found a game that offered you something different. Same concept, different fruit. Super Berry by PAF is one such game. This retro romp doesn’t attempt to serve up anything revolutionary, but it’s a hugely enjoyable effort nonetheless, despite possessing just 5 paylines. It’s not what you’ve got that matters: it’s what you do with it that counts.
Despite a paucity of paylines and a max bet that stands at just 5 coins, the free Super Berry slot proves to have a few tricks up its sleeve and enough about it to differentiate the game from the other contenders in the crowded genre it finds itself nestling in. With every passing year, the number of retro fruit machines and classic slots, many modelled on one-armed bandits, increases. Despite significant advances in graphics, audio, feature games and game physics, a significant proportion of players still prefer faux classic slots. If that’s you, Super Berry should be right up your street.
Fruits Everywhere
Super Berry might look like a classic slot but peer a little closer and it’s evident that developers PAF have had some fun when it comes to designing the symbols that appear on the 5x3 board. Instead of the usual array of fruits that appear in all these games, Super Berry is strictly berries only. That’s perhaps not too surprising: the clue’s in the name after all. PAF deserve credit for the attention to detail they’ve applied to every element of this game however, not least the design of the berry symbols, which look great.
Watching these juicy berries alight on the reels is almost enough to make you want to rethink your entire diet, embark on a week-long juice detox and then vow to get your five a day every day. Almost, but not quite. While research has yet to be conducted into the matter, there is no evidence to support the assertion that playing fruit-themed slots makes punters more inclined to up their fruit intake in real life. If you’re unfamiliar with the name PAF incidentally, they’re a Finnish developer. While their slots and other casino games are largely limited to the Scandinavian market at present, with any luck they’ll be licensed in other territories in due course.
Berry Merry
Low limits players can wager as little as 0.05 coins per spin, while high limits players won’t even give this game the time of day. For the record, you can set a max bet of 5.00, which is miniscule. That’s fine though, for the measure of a good slot does not come down to its bet levels. The game has 3 standard reels as well as a bonus reel. There are 5 paylines on the 3 standard reels; one on every horizontal line and one on each of the diagonal lines.
As always, the middle line is payline one, while two and three are above and below respectively. Line 4 pays from top left to bottom right, while 5 pays from bottom left to top right. That said, playing all of these lines is not a necessity as the game allows you to select how many of the lines you would like to play.
Look at Sevens, Too
Gamblers seeking alternative options to the medium volatility Super Berry should have a look at Sevens. It’s a simple but extremely entertaining classic slot that’s also equipped with just three reels and five paylines. The game has high variance and its symbols are made up of fruit, sevens and bars, just as you’d expect. Novomatic seem to like their classic slots, for they’ve produced a string of similar games including Ultra Hot and Hot Chance.
A Yummy Little Slot
Whether you are a serious fruit-lover or just an adventurer who likes to try new things, Super Berry by PAF is an absolutely yummy fruit machine with lots of exotic flavours. For those of you willing to give it a go, you’ll find that the usual fruits aren’t available here, but instead you’ll find that gooseberries, blueberries and raspberries have happily filled those spaces in their absence.
It may not be a completely traditional fruit machine but it’s probably about time we had equality for all the fruits, even those in the gambling minorities. If you don’t like raspberries in place of your cherries you don’t have to play it, but give this game a go and you might be pleasantly surprised at what you find.
