We’re not reviewing as many online slot games as we used to. When a quality slot comes along, we’ll take a look at it and play it.
Just when we thought Betsoft took their foot off the gas in April 2023. They released another slot short on the heels of Triple Cash or Crash.
The title of their new slot is Hot Lucky 7’s. Now, if you’re wondering why CasinoWhizz chose this particular slot?

Whats not so hot?
US players can sink their teeth into a game with 5x multiplier wins that increase during the Free Spins. The RTP of Hot Lucky 7’s is 95.84% and the volatility is medium to high.
That means you need a sturdy bankroll to unlock its bonus round. If you’ve read our previous slot reviews, you’ll know that we’re suckers for slots with progressive multipliers.
Hot Lucky 7’s may not be a pretty face, yet the jackpot it offers is 10,102x the stake.
It’s not a feature-rich online slot but the feature it has packs a punch. There is a Free Spins feature that triggers when three scatters land on the reels.
The gold dollar coin is the scatter symbol and there is a Wild symbol as well. During a winning combination the Wild symbol steps in for symbols adjacent to it.
The wild only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. Note that the wild does not substitute the scatter symbol.
Once you launch the free spins feature, you’ll benefit from 5x multiplier wins. When the multipliers pitch their respective values combine. For example, 1x+2x+3x adds up to a multiplier win of 6x.
The visual fidelity of Hot Lucky 7’s is bare bones because it’s a typical fruity slot. We like the game’s audio track. It reminds us of the sights and sounds of a real casino floor.
The symbols on the reels are the flaming 7’s, red 7, and blue 7. The premium symbol is the flaming seven. Line 5 of them up on the reels you’ll win 264x your stake.
The medium-value symbols are lemon, orange, plum, and cherries. And the low-value symbols are the Bar symbols.
The jackpot of Hot Lucky 7’s is 10,102x your stake. You can play the slots for real money for bets from $0.10 to $22 per spin. The only bonus round is a free spins feature.
We’re happy to see that Betsoft included a Bonus Buy Option. It so happens that we don’t always have the time to wait for three scatters to land.
Therefore, the feature buy is a handy feature. You can buy 8, 12, or 20 free spins for a certain price. The higher your average stake the more the buy option will cost you.
If you want to purchase 20 free spins at the maximum bet of $22 it will cost you $2,453. That’s a lot of money, and perfect for players that play for the highest stakes.
It’s a simple slot game which means it will appeal to the older generation slot player. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Moreover, we like the free spins feature and the buy option.
The jackpot of 10,102x is big enough too to attract the high rollers. Though the volatility errs on the high side it won’t gobble up your bankroll within the first 50 spins.
Providing you play the online slot within the confines of your casino budget. The only con of the game is that the RTP of 95.84% is below the 96% industry standard.
Then again, we didn’t even feel the effects of the low RTP because the slot has a high hit frequency.
A good slot boils down to choice, right? Hot Lucky 7’s slot is an entertaining game though it lacks all the bells and whistles contemporary players look for.
We seldom review slot games where the base game is just as entertaining as the bonus rounds. When the 2x multiplier symbol appears in the main game it doubles all wins.
Another thing about the base game we like is that it has a high hit frequency. The average payout we got was around 25%.
You’re looking at a winner on every 4th spin. That’s not bad taking into account that it is a medium to high variance slot. How did it go with the free spins feature?
Prepare yourself for some big payouts, our biggest win was $450. At an average stake of $5 per spin, we paid $557,50 for 20 free spins. Keep an eye on the Wild as it brings you multiplier wins.
The values of the multipliers combine too for the big wins. Hot Lucky 7’s is a sublime slot and the creativity of Betsoft shines once again.
Another slot we highly recommend from the same studio is Mr.Vegas 2: Big Money Tower. It executes beautifully with exceptional graphics and generous special features.
