Play Hot Seven Dice for Free

The simple gameplay is accompanied by simple graphics, with flat colours, a plain black backdrop to the symbols and a red surround. The only (slightly) elaborate bit of design flair is the title above the reels, which has flames rising from it, and when higher-value symbols create a winning combination, animated flames leap out from these as well.

If players can find the paytable, which is accessed by clicking a tiny question mark symbol above the game, they will be able to see what each symbol is worth when it lands across a line, starting with an orange dice that’s worth 10 coins when landing on just reels 1 and 2 of a line. Any 3, 4, or 5 of this symbol will see returns of 40, 100 or 400x, which is the same amount that the blue, yellow and green dice are each worth.

Grapes and watermelons, both accompanied by Chinese-style dice, will each pay 100, 400 or 1,000x when landing across a payline on 3, 4, or 5 reels, but the top value symbol is the red 7, and when this hot symbol appears across a line, spinners are treated to wins of 200, 2,000 and the best prize of 10,000x the line bet.

The only other symbol in play is the star, which works a little differently from all others. It’s a scatter symbol, meaning that it won’t need to be in any particular positions and having it scattered around the reels will pay out 20, 100 or 500 times the coin value.

Unlike the scatter symbols in other slot machines, there’s no bonus round triggered, no special payouts of total bet multipliers and not even any unique animations to enjoy. Hot Seven Dice is just a very simple game, although there’s the option to gamble wins which adds a level of extra excitement, not to mention risk, to a winning spin.

If the gamble button is clicked, players will see a flashing playing card and can double the initial win by correctly deciding if it’s going to be revealed as a red or black card, or quadruple it if they pick the right suit. The previous 8 results are shown, but as with any game of this type, the last results have no bearing on the next one, so it’s just down to how much risk players want to take.

Anyone who has read this far is probably going to want to spin the reels of the Hot Seven Dice video slot, because it’s the sort of basic machine that they like. Anyone who likes a little bit more in the way of bonuses, features and advanced graphics has probably already clicked away to another page, but whether this is a good game or not is really just a matter of opinion.

It isn’t mobile-optimised however, so like it or not, it’s only available in a desktop format.

A good return to player percentage helps to ensure that punters can play for longer with less risk and more chances to cash out a few wins, although taking the gamble option heightens not only the potential rewards, but also the potential to lose a payout, so tread carefully.
