Magnificent 777s Slot
It’s time to hop up on your saddle and ride out pard’ner. We’ll ignore the apostrophe in the title for now and just tell ourselves that cowboys have their own rules about these things. This brand new slot machine is a thing out of the days of the American old west, with its three reels and one payline.
There are enough modern takes on the tale for it to appeal to others without diminishing the classic feel; just what Microgaming was trying to do when they created the game in the first place. Full to the brim with cowboy inspired action, here is why we feel that Magnificent 777’s is worthy of any player’s time and attention in the weeks to come.
Saddle up…
Magnificent 777’s is a 3-reel slot machine with a simple western theme. The reels are transparent and you can see a lovely background behind them featuring mountains, cacti, and the bleached bones of animals that fell victim to the desert. Every symbol in the game is a blue or a red seven except for the blue diamonds, along with the bronze, silver, and gold sheriff’s badges that are your ticket to bonus features.
… and get ready to ride
Bets in this three-reel slot machine are between 0.10 and 10.00 and can be made on just the one payline. The largest prize in the game is 6,000 coins, leading to a grand total of $/£/€60,000 up for grabs. The game features three different varieties of 7s to play for and the bonus linked sheriff’s stars available in bronze, silver, and gold, as motioned previously. Here’s a breakdown of how the three different 7s can earn you money throughout the game when you land them on an active payline:
- 3 red 7s rewards you with 200x your bet.
- 3 blue 7s rewards you with 10x your bet.
- A combination of red and blue 7s rewards with 2x your bet.
The most important pieces of the puzzle are the stars. These are your key to the ‘Win Spin’ bonus game. Different stars give different multipliers. The bronze game offers the slimmest pickings with a multiplier of between 6 and 450x your bet offered up. The Silver Star is a little better, with a multiplier between 22x and 550x your bet provided. Finally, the gold star offers between 52x and 6,000x your bet, which really allows you max out your wager.
Nudge, hold, and win
This game can also give players nudges and holds, two seldom seen modern day slot game features. These can then be set to happen automatically when you’re guaranteed to get a win, or you can handle them manually to save them for an even bigger winning opportunity.
Nudges are awarded randomly. When you use a nudge you can force a reel to move to the next symbol. This means you can force that missing 7 into place and win big. Holds are also given out randomly. When you “hold” you stick one or two reels in place to give yourself a better chance of winning on the next spin. For example, if you landed a 7 on a reel you could hold on to it and spin the other two reels freely.
Written in the (golden) stars
The jackpot of Magnificent 777’s may not be the best in the world, but it’s definitely one of the biggest seen in a three reel machine. If you bet the maximum bet and get into the Mega Streak Bonus Spin round (the prize for three Gold Stars) then you can earn a grand total of $/£/€60,000 from a low-level $/£/€10 bet.
Hand on the draw
The biggest draw will undoubtedly be the sheriff’s stars and the bonus games they unlock. To get into the bonus game you just need to land three of the stars on the middle reel. The stars will unlock different bonus games that come with varying multipliers attached. Players are also awarded a random number of free spins to go along with their multiplier, which can let them win even more prizes through just the simple click of the mouse.
