Wild Melon Slot
Are you hungry for some classic slot machine action? You are in luck, because Wild Melon by Play'n Go Software serves up some effortlessly simple retro spins with 3 reels and 1 payline.
The scores on the board are far from being basic with wins that could potentially pay back 10,000x the value of a player's bet. What's more, there is a wild icon that will help punters to create those all-important winning formations.
Other than that, however, there isn't very much in the way of bonus gameplay elements, with no free spins and no specially designed side games to break up the spins.
The Return of the Melon...
The world of slot machines is full of retro classics with fruity themes such as this effort by Play'n Go, but the astute amongst you might have noticed one thing – that fruit machines are always banging on about cherries! Well, no more, because this slot machine is fighting for all of fruit-kind by putting a new fruit in the limelight – the humble watermelon. The tyrannous rule of the cherry is over! Long live the melon!
Having said that, players will still find a few cherries lurking about on the reels of Wild Melon. Quite a lot, in fact. That is because the game's paytable features three different types of cherry symbols – a single cherry, a double cherry and a triple cherry. The only other fruits available to line up are some simple oranges and the titular watermelon symbol which, as the game's name might suggest, is also a wild icon.
Retro Stylings
As with any retro style slot machine, players would be wise not to get their hopes up for any magical animations of dancing cherries or exploding watermelons. This game by Play'n Go is therefore on the basic side of things when it comes to visual aesthetics, using some simplistic two dimensional artwork to present its iconic fruit symbols. There are even some typical arcade machine sound effects too which will help spinners of the game feel that truly authentic atmosphere of a real life casino.
Place Your Stakes
With a simple set of symbols and a basic design, players of this Play'n Go game should not have to worry too much about complications when it comes to the gameplay. In fact, it couldn't be simpler to start spinning away in an attempt to line up those winning combinations of symbols. All players have to do is decide whether they want to play with 1, 2, or 3 coins of the following denomination values: 0.25, 0.50, 1.00 and 5.00. It is as simple as that.
Once you have determined how much you want to place on the game's single payline, then you can begin the spin the reels. Should any of the following sequences of icons appear, then you will be awarded with the respective coin bet multipliers from the paytable below:
Players should note that those multipliers only apply to one coin. So, if you play with 3 coins worth 5.00 credits and you line up three watermelons, then you will win the slot machine's jackpot prize of 50,000 credits.
A Very Special Melon Indeed
As mentioned, the watermelon in this slot machine acts as a wild icon – they didn't call in Wild Melon for nothing! This essentially means that all of the other symbols in the game can potentially be replaced by this mouthwatering melon icon if there is a chance to complete a winning combination.
On top of that, the watermelon symbol in Wild Melon also has the properties of a scatter icon. That is because, as you can see in the paytable above, the icon will award wins even if it doesn't line up on the game's single payline.
Worth A Spin?
Wild Melon might look like any old 3-reel fruit machine at first glance. And in many ways it is just another classic slot with nothing of interest for 5-reel video slot fans. However, having said that, retro slot fans might just find that this offering from Play'n Go is more than adequate for some purely classic spins. Plus, with a wild and scattering melon icon and wins of up to 10,000x, there is every reason to get stuck in!
