Only the Finest Fruits will do in Apparat Gaming’s latest release
Finest Fruits combines gems and fruits in a premium classic slot experience with a max win potential of 500x
Apparat Gaming, the developer of slots with a German accent, has added another title to its growing portfolio of classic games with the launch of Finest Fruits. This is a game that promises glitz, glamour and gripping gameplay from the first spin to the last.
Finest Fruits is set across five reels and three rows with ten fixed paylines. Wins pay from left to right only, with the return to player ranging from 87.01% to 96.08%. It sits at the mid-range of the volatility scale, but the gameplay is still fruity with a max win potential of 500x.
As the name suggests, this is a slot all about fruit but not just any fruits, the absolute finest. As players spin the reels, fruit symbols crafted out of gems land on the reels. This includes grapes, oranges cherries, limes and of course watermelons, all of which shimmer and shine as they form win combinations.
Finest Fruits has been designed to appeal to fans of traditional slot machines, with simple gameplay that will hit the mark with purists. But that’s not to say it doesn’t put players on the edge of their seats with each spin. They will want to keep an eye out for the lucky 7s – if five line up on a single spin, these super symbols will award 500x the player’s bet.
As with all Apparat Gaming slots, Finest Fruits has been produced with its unique “Made in Germany” approach to development. This means high-quality engineering, Augenweide (this means eye candy) and absolutely no sense of humour whatsoever (!).
While the games have been created with the German market in mind, they have also proved to be a success with players in other regulated jurisdictions including the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Romania and all Isle of Man and Malta jurisdictions.
Martin Frindt, Chief Product Officer at Apparat Gaming, said: “We all like the finer things in life and Finest Fruits provides players with a luxurious classic slot experience. Combining fruits and gems will appeal to purists while opening up the game to those trying a classic slot for the first time.
“Simple is often beautiful and Finest Fruits is a strong addition to our growing portfolio, and we look forward to seeing players indulge in the fruity wins it provides.”

Bacta commissioned research shows huge support for seaside arcades led by Gen Z

The findings of independent research conducted by Censuswide among a sample of 2,000 UK Nationally representative respondents aged 16+ shows that Generation Z has fallen in love with the seaside arcades so popular with their grandparents.
The research reveals that 8 in 10 respondents (81 percent) view seaside arcades as being part of British culture and it is young Brits that are banging the drum for arcades, with 90 percent of 25–34-year-olds backing their importance.
Despite overwhelming public support from Britain’s younger generations, seaside arcades continue to face a perfect storm of challenges from rising energy and staffing costs, plus the threat of increased taxation as suggested by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
72 percent say Government should do more to protect them – with 86 percent of those aged 25-34-years calling for urgent action.
The research findings confirm the central role played by seaside arcades with 72 percent of adults saying they would visit an arcade on a trip to the seaside a figure that rises to 91 percent for 24-34-year-olds.
In terms of providing accessible entertainment 55 percent say that arcades offer great value for money, making them the UK’s most affordable family day out. As a result, 84 percent confirmed they have enjoyed arcades with multiple generations of their family.
The importance of contributions to local economies featured highly in the research paper with 7 in 10 stating that arcades play a key role in regenerating seaside towns, a figure that rises to 85 percent of 18-24-year-olds.
Reflecting on the research findings Joseph Cullis, President of UK trade association, Bacta said: “Britain’s seaside arcades are a vital element of our proud tourism industry, a modern cultural icon, and have been a fun family activity for more than a century.
“It’s brilliant but not surprising to see young people are embracing them with all the enthusiasm of their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents before them.
“At Bacta, we’re fighting to protect our seaside arcades from the threats of rising costs and from those who want to tax them out of existence. We hope that local councillors, MPs and the Treasury will heed the wants and needs of the British people and protect these vital institutions.”
Elliot Ball, who co-owns and runs Clacton Pier with his brother Billy, said other attractions would be at risk if arcades were taxed even more.
“I’m the fifth generation of my family – on both sides – involved in amusement arcades so this is a labour of love” he stated.
“But the threat from the government to raise gambling tax would put at risk a traditional family day out to the seaside. Trips here have been making memories for generations, and it’s great that younger people are finding the same safe, harmless fun on the pier that has been raising a smile and lighting up eyes for years and years.
“We’ve bounced back from the pandemic and the rise of staycations helps, but many of Britain’s most beloved seaside attractions will be put at high risk if gambling taxes rise.”
