Scorching Sevens Slot Machine Review
Sevens have been the staple of slots games since the earliest fruit machines. This solidly produced online 3-reel slot from software house Saucify takes the concept one step further. In addition to the regular red 7’s, there are flaming ‘Scorching Sevens’ on the reels. If you are lucky enough to hit 3 of these, you can win the top prize of 3500 coins for a single spin. Like all Saucify 3-reel slots a lot of care and attention has gone into this game. The aim is to recreate an authentic experience of playing the old style slots in a live setting. Sounds and graphics combine with great game play to make Scorching Sevens a good example of what is possible with some attention to detail.
Visually, this game is dominated by the Scorching Sevens logo underneath the reels on the left of the screen. The reels themselves have a curved effect, and reproduce the mechanical version very well. To the right you will see the pay table, with the special behavior of the flaming 7’s described underneath this.
On the reels you will find the old classic slot symbols, all of these are created with sharp graphics. The cherry, single, double and triple bar, red 7’s and flaming 7’s complete the list.
What I like about all Saucify’s 3-reel slots is that the sounds contribute to the atmosphere. In the background you will hear the ambient sounds of standing in a live casino’s slots hall. There is indistinct chatter, laughter and the sound of slots being played – including the clanking of coins as prizes. Other sounds include the electronic jingle as the reels spin, which is combined with a mechanical sound and satisfying click. Wins have their own sound effects, and the pay table will light up to show you which pay-out you received.
Setup and Play for Scorching Sevens
You have a choice of 1, 2 or 3 coins for this game – and you should always choose 3. The reason is that the top pay-out is proportionally larger for the 3rd coin. 3 of the Scorching Sevens gets you 1100 for 1 coin, 2200 for 2 coins and 3500 for 3. This is not a trivial difference as far as the long term returns are concerned, and will add significantly to the ‘return to player’ for this slot. You can set your coin size lower, which can balance against the need to spin 3 coins.
There is only a single win-line for this game – and like all 3-reel slots, you will sometimes find that no symbols land on it. Pay-outs start with just 1 cherry, and different combinations with the Scorching Sevens can double or even quadruple your wins.
These 7’s are wild, and replace any of the other symbols. If you get 1 Scorching Seven + 2 symbols, the win is double the amount listed for 3 of that symbol. If you hit 2 of the 7’s + 1 other symbol, then you quadruple the win for the symbol in question. This can give you a really big boost with some of the higher paying symbols such as the triple bar or red 7’s.
I should also note that there is a pay-out for any 3 mixed bars on the win-line, as well as 1 or 2 cherries in any position on that line.
Scorching Sevens – Conclusion
Another great 3-reel slot from Saucify, with the attention to detail in making the reproduction authentic really shining through. You will have to decide for yourself whether the ambient casino noises are positive or whether they drive you crazy. The spin and win noises certainly mimic the old style slots very well.
Including a wild symbol in the game is a big plus. This gives the opportunity for boosted wins on any spin – which makes the game more interesting. If you enjoy the 3-reel slot games, then make sure you check out Scorching Sevens for yourself soon.
