Fruit Duel Slot Game | Hacksaw Gaming Slots

Fruit Duel must be one of the most exciting slots we’ve encountered in a while because of how different the setup is compared to what is considered the norm. Instead of going down the traditional route, Hacksaw Gaming has developed Fruit Duel with three reels and seventeen paylines, which is interesting, to say the least.

As the game’s name suggests, Fruit Duel will see fruit battling it out, which is a better way to go about things than the standard approach seen in fruit-themed slots, and this comes into play via the DuelReels feature, which we will talk about later in the review.

Graphically, Fruit Duel is really impressive, and you can tell that this is a slot game that Hacksaw Gaming has put a lot of effort into visually to get things right. The action unfolds in a garden, with houses visible in the background, while the reels are encased in a hut that stores fruit.

There’s also a fantastic soundtrack that will get players tapping their toes as they spin the game’s three reels, another clever inclusion by Hacksaw Gaming. And that, alongside players liking what they see in terms of the pieces of fruit that appears as symbols, and the special icons, is definitely a good thing.

Of course, there’s the style, but players want the substance too, and that’s where the gameplay and bonus features make the difference. There’s a traditional free spins round, which you expect to see, but the DuelReels feature is something different and bespoke.

Game Features

Beauty berries take on the role of the scatter in Fruit Duel, and if three of them appear simultaneously, players will get their hands on ten free spins. The game goes from day to night when the free spins bonus round is underway, and as the rounds are played through, it’s more likely for players to not only land Vs icons but higher multipliers too.

Players need the Vs symbol to land on the reels to get the DuelReels feature underway. At this point, an expanded reel will come into play, and on this reel, two pieces of fruit will do battle with a multiplier in play. The winning fruit will apply the multiplier to its own reel, with said reel becoming a multiplier wild. Multipliers can be worth up to 100x the bet, which is quite something.

Of course, there will be players who want to go straight to the features instead of spinning the reels and waiting for the right icons to come into view. And it’s possible to do so for a fee.

Players can pay 10x the bet to land a Vs symbol which will trigger the DuelSpins feature. And they can also pay 80x the stake to get straight into the free spins bonus round, where they’ll have ten free rounds to attack from the get-go.
