Imperial Fruits: 5 Lines Slot Explained
Imperial Fruits: 5 Lines is a classic-style fruit slot from Playson, played on a 5x3 grid with just five fixed paylines. Its royal twist comes from an expanding crown wild on the middle reels and two separate star scatters that pay wherever they land. Here’s how it all works.
How the game plays
All five paylines are always active, so you simply set a stake and spin. Wins are formed by matching symbols along a line, with the paytable built from traditional fruit machine imagery — cherries, lemons, plums, pears, oranges, watermelons and grapes — topped by the red sevens, which are the game’s most valuable regular symbol. With so few lines, the rhythm is deliberately old-school: fewer, cleaner wins rather than constant small hits.
The expanding crown wild
The imperial crown is the wild, and it only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. It substitutes for every regular symbol, and when it can complete a win it expands to cover its entire reel, turning a single wild into three. Because the crown sits on the middle reels, an expansion can connect fruit on both sides of the grid at once.
Two scatters that pay anywhere
Imperial Fruits: 5 Lines uses two scatter symbols, and both pay independently of the paylines. The Gold Star can land on any reel, while the Diamond Star appears only on reels 1, 3 and 5 — land all three Diamond Stars in view and you collect a scatter prize on top of any line wins. There’s no free spins round; the scatters are the game’s bonus layer.
RTP and volatility
The commonly published RTP for Imperial Fruits: 5 Lines is around 96.71%, with medium volatility — though Playson produces this game in more than one RTP version, so the figure at any given casino can differ. The game’s info panel always shows the version you’re actually playing, and it’s worth a glance before you spin.
