Slot 777 Scratch Card
Feeling nostalgic? Longing for a good old arcade scratch card game like in the old days? If only you could just access a couple of scratch cards just like that, without leaving your home and have just as much fun as if you were spending some quality time in your favourite land-based casino.
Well search no more, because the developers at Neogames have once again decided to go back to the roots of the genre and to do away with all the unnecessary frills of some scratch card games. The result of this search is simply called Slot 777.
Now that we have your attention, let’s take a closer look at the game!
Back to the True Origins of scratch card Games
Slot 777 is a true flashback to what scratch cards actually are: simple devices designed to let you have fun while winning money.
And as such, the game takes place where the genre started in the first place: the casino. Not a fancy one, just your local casino where you know all the machines and which one is most likely to let you win the jackpot. The design is simple, basic even, with just a row of scratch cards lined up in from of the players’ eyes, neon lights on the ceiling and an unpretentious rug thrown on the floor.
True, hard-core players will not need anything more to be transported to an actual casino and start placing their bets. Novices might have a harder time immersing themselves into this inconspicuous universe, however.
Firing Up the Machines
Now that the décor is set, it is high time to take a look at our options in terms of gameplay in Slot 777.
And those options are quite limited when compared to the latest trends in scratch card games. You have three virtual scratch cards to bet on, which is more than the usual single reel set, but each of them only has three reels and a single horizontal payline running across. This setup naturally gives you three chances to match for each spin.
The (+) and (-) buttons located below the reels will let you modify the amount of your wager. You can bet from as little as 0.10 to 10 credits per activated payline, that is to say for each machine on which you decide to bet. Hit the large blue circle when you are ready, and the reels will start spinning loose.
Another option that you have is to make use of the Autoplay feature in order to let the game roll on its own for a predetermined number of spins. Click the corresponding tab located at the bottom right-hand corner of the game screen in order to configure the Autoplay mode and decide exactly how many spins in a row you wish to trigger. And that is all you need to know before you start playing. Now let us take a look at what is actually happening on the reels.
A Classic, Time-Proof Menu
And as a matter of fact, there is not much going on in that paytable. In line with the back to basics theme of Slot 777, the reel symbols have travelled back through time as well.
As a result, you should expect to find the usual fruity selection of Lemons, Plums, Strawberries and Oranges, amongst other. In addition to these, the Neogames developers have thrown in a few Sevens and Bar signs to top up the list.
Each combination of three identical symbols on the same machine trigger a corresponding Multiplier, which is in turn applied to your initial bet to determine the amount of your pay-out. Simple as that, but the stakes can be high: you get the chance to win up to 10,000 times your wager with each spin! Click on the Menu button all the way to the bottom of the game screen in order to get a better overview of the winning symbol combinations and the rewards each of them entails.
Not Much to See, But a Solid Game
Slot 777 does away with the complicated game themes, the over-the-top animation and the unnecessary frills to focus on the actual betting, in its purest form. It probably is not much to look at, and many players will probably ignore a game that looks so basic and, perhaps, a little boring.
However, Slot 777 has all the classic elements of a good scratch card game wrapped in a simple, easy to crack package. So if the absence of special symbols and other modern elements is not a complete deal-breaker for you, Slot 777 might be worth a good try.
