How Electric Sam plays
Underneath the troll story is a fruit machine. Fruit symbols fill the 5 reels and 3 rows, and Sam and Sandra appear among them as symbols of their own. There are no paylines to follow, because the game counts its wins across 243 ways instead. The Golden Bell is the scatter that opens the free spins, and the family’s Electric treats are kept for that round. Sam, the troll in charge, is the one who hands out sticky wilds there, Sandra brings a multiplier, and Maggie, their daughter, clears fruit away with imploding symbols, so each character has a job of their own once the bells have done theirs.
Electric Sam: 5 reels, 3 rows, 243 ways to win, the same layout as the example.
The Golden Bell free spins
Three, four or five Golden Bells on the same spin award 5, 10 or 15 free spins respectively, so the size of the round depends entirely on how many bells land. Inside the round, the reels gain the three Electric treats described below. Each one belongs to a single character, so which treats you see depends on which members of the family land on the reels during the spins.
Sam, Sandra and Maggie’s Electric treats
Sam handles the sticky wilds: landing three or more Sam symbols in the free spins leaves wilds that stay on the reels to help later spins. Sandra, Sam’s wife, adds a multiplier to the wins every time three or more Sandra symbols land in the round. Maggie uses a battery zap to make fruit symbols implode, and new symbols drop into the gaps, which can create fresh wins on the same spin.
Electric Sam compared with Fruit Shop
Fruit symbols are also the core of Fruit Shop, but it takes a more traditional route. It uses 15 paylines on its 5x3 grid instead of 243 ways, and its free spins come from line wins with fruit rather than from scatters. Electric Sam keeps its fruit in the base game and saves the variety for the free spins, where three characters each change the reels in a different way.
| Game | Grid and lines | Free spins trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit Shop | 5x3, 15 paylines | Any winning line of fruit symbols |
| Electric Sam | 5x3, 243 ways | 3 to 5 Golden Bell scatters |

Similar games you can play at Fortune Games
If Maggie’s fruit-clearing appeals, Fruit Snap builds a whole game around it: filling its symbol meters removes low-paying fruit symbols from play. For fruit that clears away after a win, Fruit Party pays for clusters of five or more on a 7x7 grid, and winning symbols drop out so new ones can fall in. Both are in the Fortune Games lobby. Fortune Games has an app on the App Store and Google Play.
Frequently asked questions
How many free spins can you get in Electric Sam?
It depends on the Golden Bell scatters that start the round: three bells give 5 free spins, four give 10 and five give 15. After that, the round’s variety comes from which family members turn up while the spins are played, since each one brings a different Electric treat.
What does Maggie do in Electric Sam?
Maggie is the daughter of Sam and Sandra, and her Electric treat in the free spins is imploding symbols. She zaps fruit symbols off the reels with a battery charge, and new symbols fall into the empty places. The replacements can form new combinations across the 243 ways before the spin is over.
Who is Sandra in Electric Sam?
Sandra is Sam’s wife and Maggie’s mother, and in the game she is the source of the multiplier. Whenever three or more Sandra symbols land during the free spins, she awards a multiplier on the wins, adding to Sam’s sticky wilds and Maggie’s imploding symbols as the third of the family’s Electric treats.
