Golden 7 Slot

Gold has always been used throughout time to represent wealth, so much so in fact to even have to make this statement seems nonsensical. We've seen jewellery, finery, coins and bank bullion made from this precious, soft metal that seems good for little else. Perhaps the tradition of giving girls rings made of the metal has lead to gold being one of the ultimate tools of seduction; a fact that would no doubt make the metal more valuable than most things known to man (but of course not to women!). Who really cares why gold is so valuable, and why it's the basis for world economies? Let's just concentrate on making more of it, and what better way to line our pockets with the popular yellowish base metal than a quick gamble on the online slot game, Golden Seven.

Looking at the basic reel game, Golden Seven is the standard slot format, with twenty pay lines smeared over 5 reels. The graphics in the game have a basic, chunky, cartoon like feel with little animation or frills, which keeps the game fast and intense. Reel animations are suitably weighted with reels stopping in one after another so as to build excitement as those combinations slowly set. The audio on the game is basic, but then most players aren't looking for a game that's going to win X-Factor, with many players turning audio off, preferring to create their own soundtrack from iTunes or Spotify. Big money players will like Golden Seven as the maximum bet on each pay line is a whopping £25, giving a max bet value of £1000. The game gives healthy returns too, with the gaming commission tests calculating the percentage payback from this online slot to be around 94%.

The real (or should we say reel) hook with Golden Seven is the symbol that gives the machine its title. Stop in the magic Golden Seven anywhere on the reels and you'll see the boxed King and Queen Poker card symbols magically transform (as if by computer programming) into red seven symbols. The game will then recalculate the combinations available with the red sevens in play giving the player a host of additional wins, especially if there were already Kings and Queens in combination on the board. This is particularly useful when you consider that the jackpot is paid on Golden Seven for a complete board of sevens and wilds, as the Golden seven increases the chances of you hitting this big win.

As a slot machine, Golden Seven is an incredibly simple offering, which makes the game a perfect play for the novice slot players out there. It's easy win format and lack of bonus or gamble game means no confusion for the beginner. Does the game have the longevity and depth to attract the long term slot jockey? We'd like to think it does as the Golden Seven is a fairly unique feature that can really ramp up the wins as all the faces turn into magnificent sevens, and in turn into magnificent wins.
