777 Super Strike

777 Super Strike: Slot Overview

The number 7 has long been considered a positive one for people across the globe, and it is a very popular number in the gambling world as well. That and the number 8, thanks to certain Asian beliefs, are probably the 2 digits you're most likely to come across as the focus in an online slot. The number 7 is certainly writ large in today's release, 777 Super Strike from Red Tiger and R7. Just as picking such a popular subject isn't the most creative move, so it is with 777 Super Strike's features, which have been mostly brought over from In the Rabbit Hole; though, there are enough tweaks to avoid calling 777 Super Strike a carbon copy of a clone.

Hopefully, along with a soft spot for the number 7, you appreciate the colour green, too, since it is one of the game's most dominant tones. The base game background is a green-coloured, diamond-patterned piece, but it does change colour for free spins, helping break the monotony, to a degree. 777 Super Strike may be less monotonous in general if retro-styled gaming is what you're after. As well as 7s, copious crowns, and minimalist visuals, 777 Super Strike has a mini paytable displayed above its white reel set, giving the game a classic slant.

Clicking the stake button gives betting options of 10 c to $/€20 per spin, with a feature buy button on the other side of the screen. Above both is a 5-reel gaming grid, with 3 rows of symbols and 243 ways to win. Winning combinations begin on the leftmost reel, and matching symbols must land on at least 3 adjacent reels. With a medium-high volatile math model, the default RTP value is 95.72%.

Ten to Ace card ranks with little crowns on them are 777 Super Strike's low pay symbol group, while its higher pays are cherries, lemons, single 7s, double 7s, and triple 7s. The reward for landing a winning combination of 5 low pays comes out at 1.5 to 2 times the bet or 3 to 25 times the bet for 5 matching high pays. Two types of wild symbols appear on reels 2, 3, and 4, substituting for any pay symbol. One is the regular wild, and the other is an expanding wild, which expands to cover the entire reel if it participates in a winning way.

777 Super Strike: Slot Features

777 Super Strike leads players, if fortune is smiling, on a journey through several free spins levels called 7th Heaven. It starts with free spins and may progress to Win Spins before ending up on Wild Spins.

7th Heaven

Landing 3 free spins scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 triggers the free spins round. On the seventh free spin, there is a chance of a free spins retrigger for a total of up to 21 free spins. The first trigger upgrades free spins to Win Spins, while the second retrigger upgrades Win Spins to Wild Spins. Upon reaching Wild Spins, no more retriggers may occur.

• Free Spins - When this round is triggered, players get 7 free spins. For free spins, there are more wilds and expanding wilds added to the reels.
• Win Spins - When triggered on the final free spin by landing 3 scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5, 7 Win Spins are granted. As the name says, every spin in this round is guaranteed to be a winner.
• Wild Spins - Landing 3 scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 on the final Win Spin triggers 7 Wild Spins. Every Wild Spins is guaranteed to be a winner, and wilds lock in place when they hit for the remaining duration of the round.

Feature Buy

For 100 times the bet, players can buy access to the free spins feature. The RTP for the feature buy is 95.72%.

777 Super Strike: Slot Verdict

We don't get Red Tiger/R7 matchups much anymore, so it was with a hint of despondency that such a mediocre game brought about the reacquaintance. You don't need us to tell you the whole sevens in slots movement has been done to death, revived, battered around for a bit until no longer conscious, then prodded with a stick in an attempt at a recovery. In other words, 777 Super Strike's theme and presentation are about as sleep-inducing as they get. Let's acknowledge some folk like this sort of thing, and that is great, but it is also dime-a-dozen stuff which is too easy to look past.

A similar sleepy sensation arose after reading the rules and seeing 777 Super Strike in action, too. The layered free spins round is neat in its way, but after playing forgettable slots like In the Rabbit Hole, Genie Nights and Honolulu Nights, meh, seen it, done it, with more interesting skins to boot. Two of the three free spins levels involve guaranteed winning spins, which might not necessarily mean you'll win big, but the thought you'll definitely win something might be like a light bulb to a moth for some gamblers. Not necessarily winning big carries over to 777 Super Strike's maximum potential, too, hitting a ceiling value of 2,649.5 times the bet. Significantly less than In the Rabbit Hole, for some reason, despite having so many more ways to win.

If it isn't obvious by now, 777 Super Strike wasn't a game that won over too many hearts and minds. As a 7s symbol/classic slot version covering ideas Red Tiger has toyed with in the past, it might pass for some, but the excitement levels were low for this one.
