Fantastic 7s Slot
7 is the lucky number in this 3-reel classic by Microgaming. There is only 1 payline and a whole load of traditionally retro slot machine symbols for players to spin into winning combinations. The game has a 2,500x multiplier that will award maximum jackpot potential of 12,500 credits.
The game is about as classic as they come with incredibly straightforward gameplay and no overly complicated bonus elements whatsoever. So, if you are looking for a genuinely authentic one-armed bandit to play online, then Fantastic 7s is the slot machine for you.
A true classic
You can't beat a classic. Whether it is a old black and white movie starring Humphrey Bogart, a timelessly popular song by a musical legend, or a vintage sports car, there are some things in the world that stand the test of time and cannot be topped by modern innovations. The same applies to the world of slot machines. Because, no matter how many newfangled video slots emerge with their fancy gameplay gimmicks and spectacularly groundbreaking graphics, they just don't compare to having a spin of a truly classic 3-reel slot machine.
One such game that can be considered as a genuine classic is Fantastic 7s by Microgaming, a slot machine that is bestowed with a number of retro symbols such as fruity cherries as well as single, double and triple BARs. On top of that, the slot offers a range of lucky 7s icons – all of which make up the higher end of the game's paytable.
Big and bold
Naturally, this retro styled slot machine is not going to be blowing any socks of when it comes to the quality of its graphics and visual aspect. In fact, the Microgaming slot machine keeps it nice and simple with a game screen that is presented with bold, blocky two-dimensional icons. What else would you expect from a game that is so unashamedly vintage?
Despite the simple nature of the game's artwork, players can expect a good degree of colour with bright and bold tones such as deep blue, ruby red, sunny yellow and floral violet.
The scores on the doors
One of the good things about this classic 3-reel slot machine is that it makes its paytable available for everyone to see upon the main game screen alongside the reels. As such, players won't have to keep switching back and forth between different menu screens to find out what kind of prizes lie in store. However, the paytable might need some explaining if you aren't particularly familiar with slot machines of this sort. That is because, as you can see for yourselves, there are three columns of prize values, each of which will be highlighted depending on whether punters have opted to play with 1, 2, or 3 coins.
So, it might well seem that playing with one coin will award smaller prize returns in relation to your total bet since the values are half the size of those in the second column and one third of the value of the prizes in the third column. However, this is not always the case since the slot machine will actually only apply the multiplier values to one coin, no matter how many are placed per spin. So, in the vast majority of cases, punters will get the same return from their total bets regardless of how many coins are wagered. That is until you get to the slot machine's most valuable symbol – the multicoloured 7. You can see all of the coin multiplier values in the following paytable:
As you can see, playing with 3 coins does have it's advantages as players will be able to hit a jackpot multiplier of 2,500x that is larger in proportion that those that are offered when 1 or 2 coins are in play.
A class act
This slot machine is a bold, colourful and effortlessly simple game that is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy some spins without getting bogged down in overcomplicated bonus features. Of course, the game might not be for everyone, and it may be the case that players get bored after a few spins. However, with the chance to hit a jackpot of 2,500x with each spin, there is every reason to have that one extra spin with Fantastic 7s.
