Lucky 7 Slots is a standard but by no means lazy game that relies on a fast pace of play to keep things obscenely interesting. It is so bare bones you wonder if it wasn’t made from a template, but they really hit home the core slot mechanics that keep us all going back to the genre again and again in this gem of a game. We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with it, mostly wishing that the jackpots and betting amounts were higher because there’s not much going on with this game otherwise. If you are looking for a breath of fresh air that harkens back to what slots used to be, this game is for you. It pays you to play at a fast pace and does little to get in your way as you spin the night away.
Premise
The premise of Lucky 7 Slots is nothing, really. 7’s a lucky number, so there’s that, but this is a classic example of a slot that doesn’t try to be anything but a slot. They even cut out most of the reels and pay lines you’ll see elsewhere. You’re not going on an adventure or pretending to be a bear, it’s a slot, and that’s part of what makes this game kind of charming in a world where all the rest of the try hards are liking doing a little too much to get into our wallets
Presentation
Graphics in Lucky 7 Slots are sparse but clean. Everything is crisp, clear, colorful, and compelling to look at, which makes your time spent playing all the easier because of how easy they are on the eyes. That said, it’s all standard slot symbols, mostly the number 7, and there aren’t even many reels. It’s nice to look at because it’s all very well executed, but it isn’t going to blow you away. There isn’t even much to it that looks distinctive, aside from a few swooshing stars.
Mechanics
Gameplay in Lucky 7 Slots is very standard. At 3 reels and 1 (!) pay line, it does not break the mold there, chosing instead to keep things classy in ways we can respect. It’s even more classic than most classic games in that it’s only 3 reels and you win or you loose.
Betting here ranges from two pennies to $1, making this an accessible slot that anyone can jump into in hopes of winning a lot of money without worrying about necessarily breaking the bank in the process. Max bets cap out at $3, which tends to be how we rolled when we played it a bunch for our review, if only because it’s the best we can do. Wish they’d increase that, but it is what it is, and leads to more spins that even out anyway.
There’s really nothing else to it, which players will either love or hate.

In the time we spent playing this game, we did not encounter any bugs, problems, or errors.
