If you’re looking for an exciting slot machine to play, I doubt that you will find Oranges and Lemons to be in that category. It’s not only a classic slot machine, but also one that is indeed themed around fruits, with both oranges and lemons among its symbols. Though some very nice features are present in it, they’re often used in Microgaming classic slots, so you will find games with much better graphics and themes, and with the same kind of game experience.
3 reels are used in Oranges and Lemons, making this a classic slot. It should be no surprise then that it has only 1 payline. The list of features looks better than I would’ve expected under the circumstances, with a wild symbol and multipliers being used. The jackpot is worth $25,000.
Features of Oranges and Lemons
The game’s main feature would be the wild symbol, which is represented in this game by the image of the Orange and which has multipliers as well. The Lemon has no special role here, so it’s clearly the less interesting of the two.
The Orange is the one that is used as a Joker of sorts, being capable of taking the role of another regular symbol, allowing you to form your winning hand (combination). Since the payline has three symbols on it, you either need one wild with two matching symbols, or two wilds with any other regular symbol. The wilds take the role of those other symbols found on the same line, so they’re the ones that decide how much money you take home.
The wilds do help with the prizes though, one of them being enough to double the prize of that combo. Two wilds will both contribute to the prize’s multiplier, so you earn 4x the amount that a combo would’ve given you if it was made only out of matching symbols.
The same Orange wild is also responsible for the slot’s best payouts, giving away 5,000 coins when the payline has only wilds on it.
Betting options and jackpots
It’s one of those classic slots that allow for a maximum of two coins to be wagered. Each one is valued between $0.25 and $5, a pretty normal range for this kind of game. The maximum bet, using two coins at top value, is worth $10.
You are rewarded with up to 5,000 coins when two coin bets are placed, meaning for you a jackpot of $25,000 or less.
Design and symbols
As you’d expect, the game has a mix or yellow and orange colors built into it, visible in the symbols and in the background image. The latter has concentric circles with the two colors alternatively appearing. As for the symbols, the two fruit heroes are present, along with a couple of classic icons.
Symbols: Orange (5,000 coins), Lemon (200 coins), Three Bar (100 coins), Two Bar (60 coins), One Bar (30 coins) and Golden Bell (20 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
There isn’t much in this game that can save it. The theme is boring, the features are available in dozens of other slots and the gameplay is the one you’ve seen in countless other 3 reel titles.
This Oranges and Lemons slot is offered by all online casinos with Microgaming software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
