Fruit Machine Goal is the football follow up to the successful Fruit Machine Gold. This isn't simply a re-skin though, as Goal includes many more features and a more in-depth challenge, while maintaining that extremely addictive nature that keeps us coming back for more at every given opportunity.

If you're a football fan every thing about the theme will be familiar to you, such as free kicks, off-sides, hat tricks, yellow & red cards, golden boots, goal line scrambles, extra time and much more. If you're going to be glued to the World Cup, it's the perfect time filler between matches or at half time, or even during the dull matches.

Simplicity isn't the nature of the game though, of course you can spin the reels and win cash every time you match three reels together, but Goal has so much more depth to bring you a challenge, as well as plenty of entertainment.

The play is split up into four areas: The Reels, which includes holds, nudges and single or multiple win line modes. This means you can gamble on a one line spin or opt for three to increase your chances of winning. A single line will set you back 20p per spin, while a three win line will cost 50p. There's also a trail climb to activate some of the more advanced features on your way to the £70 jackpot.

The feature board you'll see the most is the Trail screen, which is activated every time you accumulate enough numbers on one spin to climb up the seven step ladder. The Trail consists of many routes, which are mainly navigated by a good old fashioned game of Hi/Lo. It's tough, but if you manage to land on the three footballs or light up a series of player shirts in blue, you'll be promoted to the very rare third screen: The Transfer Window.

The Infamous Transfer screen is similar to a game of Deal or No Deal. The reel spins through the amounts and then selects one of the boxes. When the reel stop it displays a question mark, but not the final amount. The game will then remove three boxes randomly, but will always leave the final amount. Eventually the game will remove the boxes to ensure that only two boxes are left at the end. The game then makes an offer based on the values in the boxes. You can then take or leave this offer. It's fun, but you could play for hours and still not see this screen. While that can be frustrating, it does give you something to play for, and simulates a real fruit machine perfectly.

Also from the Trail screen, lighting up all shirts with any colour will send you on a cup run. Cup Run is located above the reels on the main screen, and you may be asking yourself why you haven't had a chance to play on that. The answer is because it's damn hard to get too. Once you're there though the aim is to play through four rounds of the cup, to try and win the jackpot. This consists of 18 features, such as yellow and red cards, streakers, super shots, golden goal, and so on. All this is played against the clock. As in the rules of football, a red card, or two yellow cards, will end the feature and you'll be left to fight hard to get back and have another go.

Let's face it, real life fruit machine are tough to master and tough to win the jackpot. Fruit Machine Goal replicates this difficult perfectly, as it does the sheer fun and determination you'll have every time you spin the reels, and with this game you'll always be spinning just one more time. Whether you like football, or you just like a good fruity, Goal is more than worth the download and the time you'll invest into it - by far the most in-depth and satisfying fruit machine game on mobiles.
