Play 7s to Burn for Free

What's hotter than a good old flaming 3-reel slot machine such as this offering by Barcrest? Well, a lot of things actually; the sun, for a start, and then there's fire, too. Oh and there's hot tubs, hot tamales, and even hot potatoes. Well, regardless of where 7s to Burn lies on the hotness scale, it certainly does its best to make spinners get a sweat on with a fiery aesthetic, including a wall of flames over which the 3 reels are laid down.

On top of the reels are some timeless icons from the arcade archives such as hot red cherries, juicy oranges and lemons, plump plums, and some refreshing watermelon, not to mention a range of other classic symbols such as double BARs, golden bells and stars.

The star attractions of the slot machine, however, are two symbols which each present a pair of 77s. The first of these is just an ordinarily designed icon with a normal line bet multiplier payout value – quite tepid to be honest with you. The other 77 icon is presented in a shroud of flames and it is sure to make the mercury rise a notch or two since it holds the key to the game's top jackpot prize while also acting as a wild symbol which substitutes for the lower valued 77 icon to complete win lines during the standard spinning game.

If that isn't hot enough for you, then you can always up the ante with this slot machine's Hi Roller bonus game. This game isn't triggered by scatter icons, but on the whim of the players themselves. All you have to do is hit the “Hi Roller” button to initiate the feature which will play 5 rounds of spins during which the fiery 77 wild substitutes for all other icons on the reels, offering even more chances to complete winning combinations.

This Hi Roller option will come at a cost, however, since punters will have to place higher stakes to earn the chance for more winning opportunities.

During the base game of 7s to Burn, spinners can choose from a limited range of wagering options which start from 0.25 credits and go up to 2.00 credits. With a stake in place, players can start spinning the reels and hope to receive some prizes. For that to happen, three matched icons need to appear on the reels on any of the 5 fixed paylines. Or, you can, of course, find a wild win with the flaming 77 icon.

Each matched trio of symbols will apply a multiplier to the total stake value. So, if you chance upon three cherries, oranges, lemons or plums, you will receive a multiplier of 8x while three matching double BARs or watermelons awards wins of 20x. Golden bells and stars, on the other hand, will both pay out prizes of 40x the total stake when three in a row of each appear. The normal 77 icon awards 100x while the burning 77s will go for the game's top multiplier prize of 250x.

With a maximum wager of 2 credits, players will only be able to win 500 credits from that 250x multiplier jackpot. However, there are plenty of bigger wins to be had – up to 125,000 credits, in fact – if you have the guts to up the ante in a card based gamble game. Players can double their wins by guessing whether the turned over card is red or black. Or, they can quadruple wins by guessing whether the card's suit is diamonds, spades, hearts or clubs.

7s to Burn might not be the hottest 3-reel classic out there. But it is far from being the coldest. The game has a simple design that will appease and slot machine traditionalist while perhaps being slightly underwhelming to contemporary spinners who are used to explosive reel action. Nonetheless, players can up the gameplay temperature whenever they want with some super hot “Hi Roller” action.
