WHAT IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FRUIT MACHINE OF ALL TIME?

---

By: Marcus Miles

From Rainbow Riches to Alien, fruit machines are one of the most played casino games in the United Kingdom. But how can you tell which one is the most popular? Marcus Miles focuses on a series of the most popular fruit machines, such as Rainbow Riches and Cleopatra, to uncover what makes them so successful.

Rainbow Riches

Rainbow Riches is well known in the casino circuit. Coming soon for mobile casino gamers, Rainbow Riches is one of the United Kingdoms most popular fruit machines. A big hit in UK arcades and casinos, Rainbow Riches is a leprechaun themed slot game.

The five-reel, twenty-line Rainbow Riches is popular because of its wins and the Rainbow Riches 500-Credit payout was a large part of the slot machine's appeal. The Rainbow Riches mobile slots game, Rainbow Riches: Road to Riches, looks set to continue its popularity.

Alien

Based on the 1979 film by acclaimed director Ridley Scott, the Alien fruit machine is one of the UK's top slot machines. The five-reel 20-line game allows gamers the opportunity to blast their gaming hobby out into space; a top jackpot of 200,000 coins may mean they come back to this planet quite better off.

Despite being based on a popular Summer blockbuster, the fruit machine is considerably less popular than the Rainbow Riches fruit machine series. The 1979 horror movie is still a film classic, but the slot machine doesn't get quite the same success as the dancing leprechaun of Rainbow Riches.

Cleopatra

Cleopatra was called the jewel of Egypt. William Shakespeare composed plays about her beauty and she's featured in hundreds of Hollywood films. It would be apt then, that a character also known for her massive riches, should be the mascot for one of the United Kingdoms most successful fruit machines. While not as popular as Rainbow Riches, Cleopatra has a solid fan-base in the fruit machine industry. The success of Cleopatra, much like that of Rainbow Riches, stems from the charitable bonus rounds won in the fruit machine.

Wheel of Fortune

The American television show has inspired countless slot machine games. Including the hosts and sounds from the show, these fruit machines are very popular in the UK. Also playable online at websites like Kerching Casino, the successful game features 5-reels and 15-lines.
