777 Heist

There’s a lot going on at first look, and it will take a few spins to get the hang of things here. Especially so, as the name would suggest this is a bit of a classic slot, which it is not! Well, there are a few symbols that fit the name, but otherwise the theme is more about the actual heist.

There’s a lot to unpack here, which is why we for once suggest you get through the review before firing up the reels. Let’s start with the theme itself...

Theme and Symbols

It’s all about the heist. It’s some precious artefacts and paintings we are after this time, including the famous Mona Lisa. Most of the symbols are from the classics though, and for the most part it’s playing card ranks that feature on the reels. When you get anything else, you’re usually in for a treat of some sort. The feeling of a heist is still strong though, as the whole interface is built around this. The audio effects add their own bit to that excitement.

Betting Options and Functions

Five reels is quite a normal setup, but five symbols on each reel isn’t. Furthermore, you won’t find any such things as paylines here. Instead, all you need for a win is a minimum of three symbols, stacked either vertically or horizontally.

This is not all, as every time you hit a winning combination, the avalanche feature fires. This means that every symbol part of a combination disappears, with the rest of the symbols lining up for more wins. There’s room here for substantial wins if your luck holds up.

Finally, given the system, the wins are nothing to scoff at. Perhaps a bit low for a normal slot, topping out at 50x the bet, but given the specials and the way the wins are laid down, they are quite sufficient and substantial.

Features

Wilds are often treated as simple symbols that replace others. But what about the other way around…

Every time you create a win with three or more symbols, a wild is created on the reels. Combine with the symbols dropping in place, and you’ve got quite a good chance of keeping the wins going.

Speaking of which, every time you score a win the win multiplier goes up by one, which will bring the paytable to whole new levels.

Finally, there are skills that you can use to score even bigger wins. You need to fill a meter to get access to these, and once it’s full one of the three features will fire on non-winning spins (keeping the multipliers going!):

• Hacking - a symbol is chosen at random, with all matching symbols changed to another one.
• Harness - two additional wilds are added to the screen
• Smoke bomb - two random symbols are chosen and removed from the screen, freeing up space for combinations.

Our Take

777 Heist by Red Rake Gaming ends up being a very entertaining slot full of action. The low variance and small wins are perfectly balanced with the features, making this a rare slot that will offer good returns often. Get those spins going and ready for the heist!
