AThe aim of RMRFruit is to make money. This is done by spinning the reels and trying to line up identical fruits and symbols in the central row. Doing this wins you either money or a feature, the former of which can be gambled to make more money, or to lose it.
#AYou are limited in terms of the number of times you can spin the reel. This number is known as your credits. Each new game is started with 25 credits.
Money you win is stored in the bank as winnings. These can be used to buy more credits at a rate of
1 per credit, should you ever run out.
BWhen you are not in a feature and the reels are still, you can press Menu to access various options. From here you can save and load games.
Each file contains the number of winnings and credits you have, as well as the position of the reels. Hold and nudge information is not saved.
Games can be loaded either from the menu, or by selecting the game file from the System screen.
By default, RMRFruit looks for a folder named "\FruitSaves" to store saved games, though this does not need to exist and games may be stored anywhere.
CWhenever you have finished spinning the reels, you may be offered the chance to either hold any of the reels, or to nudge them a limited number of times.
In either case, this is done by tapping one of the four buttons which appear below the reels. Alternatively, you can press the corresponding number: 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Reels which are held can be released by tapping them again.
Nudges allow you to control the movement of the reels. For every one nudge, you can move one reel one place. Unlike most fruit machines, the nudges push the reels in the same direction as they normally spin. You are limited in terms of how many nudges are available to you. This normally varies between 1 and 10 nudges, although there have been rumours of 99 nudges being given to some lucky players

AAs far as the testers can tell, there are no actual bugs in the game.
Sometimes, holds and nudge buttons have a slow response time when pressed on the screen.
When playing, the game requires a large amount of processing power, and therefore may slow down in the event of other programs running at the same time.
Cheats? Of course there are....If you want to know them, send me an email...
AAt any time, you can use your winnings to buy more credits. These cost
1 each. You will find this cost a bit expensive when you begin to play, though you will find as you play more and you win more that this is not too expensive.
You are given the option to buy credits if you run out of credits anyway.
You can also sell credits to exchange for winnings at any time, though you cannot have less than 1 credit.

ERMRFruit offers two main features, these being the Winning Streak and the Special Feature.
The Winning Streak is activated by lining up four Stars. The reels will then spin and win continuously a random number of times. Each time you win, you will be able to gamble the money as usual, except that features are not available for exchange.
The Special Feature is activated by lining up four Special Feature images. The fruit machine will then be replaced by a board containing number values and text.
You will be initially given the option to play or take your winnings. Choosing to play will cause a digital dice to roll and you will move up to six places forward (clockwise).
As you move, money is accumulated. At any time, this can be taken and added to your total.
Also, there are a number of spaces on the board which do not contain a figure. Instead, special features are offered. Two types of winning spins are offered, as are three other features:
Double or Half: This allows you the chance to double your winnings or credits, but there is the risk of halving either value.
Play the Odds: A new screen will appear with flashing values. Press a key for guaranteed winnings.
Up the Ante: Here you press a key to stop a moving horizontal bar. The fuller the bar, the more money you win.
Features may be taken by pressing Tab. All of these features exit you from the main Special Feature.
Note that the main Special Feature also contains a Lose space, from which everything you accumulate is lost instantly.
BWhenever you win anything other than the jackpot, the cashpot or a feature, you will be given the option to gamble your winnings.
This is done on the gambling screen which consists of all of the money values. Pressing Space gambles the money. It can go either up or down.
If you drop off the bottom, you lose. If you reach the top, you win the jackpot. In either instance, you return to the game to play your next credit.
At any time you can press Enter to take your winnings.
At certain stages along the gambling line you can press Tab to exchange any winnings for a feature. This may be either the winning streak, or the main special feature.

CRMRFruit now provides a reel editor to registered users. This may be accessed either from within RMRFruit, from the Tools menu, or it may be run independantly from the file. It is stored at:
\System\Apps\RMRFruit\Reel Editor.opo
When you start the editor, the fruits will be displayed on the left, and the reels on the right. To scroll any of the reels, simply touch them. The direction of the scrolling depends on whether you touch a reel at the top or the bottom.
To change any fruit on a reel, simply drag a fruit from the left onto a reel on the right.
The menu provides the option to reset the reels to their default content. You can also save the contents, or exit the editor and return to RMRFruit.
If you run the editor from within RMRFruit, no changes will seem to have been made until you close completely and restart the program.
Note: After the reels have been edited, the next time RMRFruit starts, the new reels will need to be initialised, and so the program may take several seconds longer to start.
CLining up different fruits gives different winnings. Most of the items on the reels represent fruits and allow you to win money for placing in the bank, or gambling. Others give special features, discussed elsewhere. The money winning combinations are as follows:
3 Cherries =
3 Oranges =
3 Grapes =
3 Stars =
3 Melons =
3 Spec. Feature =
3 Bells =
3 Bars =
3 Cash Pot =
3 Pound Signs =
4 Cherries =
4 Oranges =
4 Grapes =
4 Melons =
4 Bells =
4 Bars =
4 Pound Signs =
JACKPOT
4 Cashpots = Cashpot
The cashpot is a special source of winnings which is always changing. Normally it just increases over time. If it is won, it returns to
Note the following differences in the modern graphics set:
Melons are now strawberries.
Cashpots are now fruit machine images.
Pound signs are now money bags.
The special feature is now a diamond.
RMRFruit is shareware. The game itself is playable, but the following features have been limited or disabled:
The cashpot may not exceed
Games may not be saved or loaded.
The Reel Editor may not be used.
By registering, you will be given a code specific to your name which will unlock these features.
