The Magnificent Seven (Skywind) - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If you love all things cowboy-themed, this is a slot you will feel instantly familiar with. Even players with no knowledge of the film will enjoy getting to know the key characters and storyline.

As with many Skywind slots, there are plenty of thrills to enjoy; what’s more, there are seven major heroes to get to know and great bonus games.

This is a good example of top-class slots with respins. You can play these on any device without compromising on quality.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

The slot is based around two famous movies, so the theme is no surprise - a classic western film with a group of random cowboys banding together to take on bandit outlaws. The backdrop is of the village the group is defending, while the main images are of the magnificent seven cowboys themselves.

Other images are eye-catching, such as the stark white 7 (wild) set against a backdrop of fiery orange flames and the sparkling golden coins that spill across the bottom of the screen during certain jackpots.

There is a satisfying mix of typical western sound effects and the standard clicks of reels. The music is used to good effect to build tension when possible winning combinations are on the horizon.

RTP & volatility

The Magnificent Seven’s RTP of 94 per cent seems disappointingly low when compared with other online slots; however, the <b>high volatility</b> at least means that the rewards, when they come, are worth bragging about.

How to play The Magnificent Seven

Before you start, it is worth taking a look at the control panel at the bottom of the screen:

1. Click or tap the 'i' symbol for information on the paytable, volume toggle etc.

2. Check out the options for increasing and decreasing the wager per spin using the plus and minus toggles.

3. If you would like to spin the reels faster, click the rev counter icon.

4. Choose between auto (the solo arrow) and regular (two arrows) spin options.

5. Enjoy playing within your budget.

Bet sizes & paytable wins

With a minimum stake of just 0.04 and a ceiling of 320, there is plenty of scope for all players to enjoy this slot, whatever their budgets.

Payouts vary between symbols, although most share one unusual characteristic - the payout level drops sharply between seven matches and two or three. How does this square up when playing?

- The 7 symbol acts as the wild, replacing all regular symbols in addition to being the highest paying icon. 7 matches = 5,000 and six matches = 1,500, dropping to just 10 for 2x.

The main symbols are, of course, the magnificent seven themselves, who can be easily identified by the background colour in their screen image:

- Those with a red background pay 3,000 for 7x, but just 5 for 2x.
- Blue pays 1,500 for 7x, down to 4 for 2x.
- Green and yellow both drop from 1,000 for 5x to 3 coins for 2x.
- Brown, purple and teal are less generous, paying out only 500-750 for seven matches, down to 10-15 for three matches.
- As is standard, the picture card letters pay just a couple of hundred coins for a full house of seven matches, and under ten for 3x.

Our verdict

Overall, we loved playing this slot. We recommend The Magnificent Seven to anyone looking for an online slot that can deliver a steady fix of action with plenty of opportunities to see the bonuses appear on the screen.

Unlike some games, the sheer number of different bonus options makes this slot endlessly attractive.

Players looking for another game within the western theme should take a look at Dead or Alive demo slot, which features plenty of the familiar objects you would expect to see from traditional Wild West towns. It also has some excellent sound effects.
