Lucky 7 - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

DLV create slots for online and land-based operators, and it’s not difficult to see the inspiration behind Lucky 7. But does this 5x3, 10 payline slot translate into an exciting playing experience?

That depends on where you stand when it comes to classic Vegas slots. If you love the thud of the reels and a casino jingle, then this slot with its scatter pays will be right up your street.

There are no wilds or free spins - this is strictly retro nostalgia gaming after all - but the rich paytable offers a top prize of 5,000x your stake, which will prove attractive to most players.

You can of course play Lucky 7 on mobile and tablet, and you can check out the volatility for yourself at Slots Temple with a few spins on this DLV demo slots game.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Every classic Vegas slot is like a history lesson. Did you know the Bar is based on the logo of a chewing gum company? Or that the number 7 has significance in every major world religion and has long been associated with luck and magical properties?

There are seven days of the week, seven colours of the rainbow and seven wonders of the world. The seventh son of a seventh son is supposed to have magical powers. We can only comfortably remember seven things in our short-term memory. And it’s the world’s most popular number.

So seven has plenty going for it as the basis for a slot machine, but DLV hasn’t really lived up to the promise. In short this game just looks horrible. It’s a hot mess of purple, gold, green, blue, red and yellow that might look eye-catching in a casino but only offends the eye on a small screen.

Not a lot of thought went into this slot at the design stage, and unless you’re a real nostalgia player most of us will be reaching for the mute symbol to close off the awful sounds.

RTP & Volatility

DLV hasn’t reported the RTP and volatility of this slot, though we’d estimate that like most classic fruities this is a high-volatility game made for the high-rollers.

How to Play Lucky 7

The player interface is designed for mobile play, but the symbols are quite scattered, so it can be hard to know where to start when getting your game set up. Our handy guide will help you do that fast:

1. Start by clicking the i at the left of the reels. This opens the paytable with info on payouts, rules, paylines and onboard controls.

2. If you want to adjust the number of lines, click on the Lines symbol at bottom left until you’re happy.

3. Now click on the poker chip symbol to adjust your Bet per Line - the total bet will be displayed at the top of the reels.

4. Click the gear icon at the top right to open the Settings menu - you can explore:

- Bet menu
- Autospin menu with win/loss limits and quick spin option
- Keyboard controls
- Sounds, including volume level
- Language
- History

5. When your game is set up the way you like it, you can play using Autospins or the manual Spin button at the right of the reels.

Enjoy playing Lucky 7 by setting a session budget and taking frequent timeouts that let you stay in control.

Bonus Features

Vegas style slots are the easiest to pick up and play because there’s no confusing bonus gameplay. All you need to know is that identical symbols lined up on a payline that’s in play will award you with a payout from the paytable.

The one symbol to look out for here is the star-shaped scatter, which is the one special feature in most classic fruit machine slots. This is known as the scatter because it pays wherever it lands on the screen and isn’t tied into a payline to reward the player. Often scatters trigger free spins or a bonus game, but in this retro slot they deliver a one-off scatter prize.

In Lucky 7s this icon pays 20x, 100x or 500x for three, four or five.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

Luck 7 is truly one of the most horrible-looking slots we’ve ever had to play, but this slot isn’t about good looks - it’s about that 5,000x top win. You’ll need patience and deep pockets to do it, but if you have both then the rich paytable makes this game worth playing.

For a more sophisticated take on the same theme, the Lucky Diamonds slot from Play N Go throws in wilds and multipliers for more satisfying gameplay.
