Lucky 7 Slots

Game Overview

Lucky 7 doesn't really offer any distinguishing background or theme, instead opting for simple graphics designed to look like a land based slot machine. The graphics certainly don't look bad, but they aren't going to excite you either.

One interesting feature, though, is that you can choose either a full view or a close up of the machine. The latter takes you right up to the reels so that you only see the symbols and betting options while the full view includes the pay table.

The symbols in this game are pretty stereotypical since you'll see cherries, 7s, Lucky 7s and single, double and triple BARs. The highest payout comes when you get three 7s in the single pay line, and your jackpot will depend upon how many coins you bet:

As you can see, there's a progression from the two coin to three coin jackpot, meaning you should bet all three coins if you want to use proper strategy.

The second largest payout comes when you get three Lucky 7s in the pay line, and it's quite a drop off from the highest prize. You earn:

The smallest possible win that you can earn involves getting a single cherry in the center pay line. You'll see this payout quite often and it offers 2 coins, 4 coins, or 6 coins depending upon how many coins you bet.

Thanks to the high hit frequency of the cherries, you can expect your bankroll to last quite a while when playing Lucky 7.

Whenever you earn a winning payout, a little sound goes off while your prize flashes up on the pay table. While certainly nothing revolutionary by today's standards, the flashing payouts are helpful as far as classic 3 reel machines go.

Lucky 7 Betting Options and Features

Each coin is worth $0.10, and you can spin the reels for just one coin. However, as we discussed before, it's best to play all three coins due to the jackpot progression.

One thing that we found annoying when playing Lucky 7 is that you have to hit the Bet One or Max Bet button every time before you can click Spin.

Maybe this is to keep an authentic land based casino feeling. But it's definitely irritating when you're used to playing today's online slots, which allow you to keep spinning without messing with your betting options every time.

Lucky 7 does not offer any bonus round or special features. You won't even find any wild or scatter symbols in this game either.

This is pretty common for classic 3 reel designs like this one, however, it's something that may make you reconsider playing Lucky 7 over Betsoft's many other titles.

Comparison to other Slots

Lucky 7 is far from the only 3 reel slot machine in Betsoft's portfolio because the company has designed a number of similar slots. That said you can see how Lucky 7 stacks up to some of Betsoft's other 3 reel games below.

Diamond Jackpot is almost the same game as Lucky 7, save for a different interface. The game screen is purple in Diamond jackpot and you'll also see a few precious gems decorating the title.

Another difference between Lucky 7 and Diamond Jackpot is that the latter features a progressive jackpot, hence the name. This jackpot can only be won on a 3 coin bet so, just like with Lucky 7; you always want to bet the max.

Other than this, Diamond Jackpot is a very similar game with the same sound effects and symbols. The main difference in symbols is that 3 diamonds awards you the jackpot, rather than three 7s.

If you're looking for a little spookier slots experience, then Ghouls Gold is a great place to start. This game is filled with traditional Halloween symbols like bats, a black cauldron, haunted house, and ghost.

The ghost is the bonus symbol, gold coins act as the wild symbol, and a sack is the progressive jackpot symbol. If you get 3 sacks in a pay line, you hit the progressive jackpot.

The most unique aspect of Ghouls Gold is that it's a multi reel game, so you'll see three sets of 3 reels. Whenever you get a win on the first 3 reels, the two above reels will spin and give you additional chances at winning.

One other nice feature of this slot is that you can choose to hold certain symbols when spinning the reels. This brings a degree of strategy into the game since you have to decide which symbols to hold and when to do so.

We think that Ghouls Gold is not only a far more interesting slot than Lucky 7, but it also compares to some of Betsoft's newer titles in its own way.

While we said that Progressive Diamond Jackpot is similar to Lucky 7, Triple Crown is almost an exact replica. The betting options, machine setup and payouts are exactly the same as in Lucky 7.

The only difference between these games is the symbols, with Triple Crown featuring genie lamps and Arabian castles.

It's really tough declaring Lucky 7 or Triple Crown to be the better game. However, we slightly favor Triple Crown just because it's a bit less cliché as far as slots go.

This is another classic 3 reel slot machine with just a little more detail than Lucky 7. Specifically, Captain Cash features a pirate theme, some nice onscreen artwork, and you can bet up to 5 coins instead of just 3.

Some of the symbols that you'll see in this game include treasure maps, a skull and crossbones flag, treasure chests, and Captain Cash himself.

Like all the other slots we've compared to Lucky 7, Captain Cash is a more entertaining 3 reel game from Betsoft.
