7 Fortune Frenzy

7 Fortune Frenzy Overview

BetSoft has created a new slot which in many respects, mirrors the format and structure of one of their previous products. However, this one has been aimed at the western market. The slot we are referring to is 88 Frenzy Fortune. When comparing the two free slot machines, you will notice that the features and how they are triggered are the same, the outer space background is the same, and the RTP is also the same. The only real difference immediately apparent is the changing of symbols from Asian-inspired number eights and Koi fish to BAR and seven symbols, which are more appropriate to the western casino market.

The features for this slot are determined, as they are in 88 Frenzy Fortune by the special bonus reel, which is the fourth reel on the board in this game. You must first trigger a win on the first three reels and have a bonus symbol present in the fourth reel to activate a bonus. The bonuses that you can win in this way include a re-spin, a multiplier, and an instant cash prize. The cash prize bonus provides players with a random cash payout, whilst the multiplier bonus applies a multiplier in the range of 8x to 18x your win. However, the re-spin bonus is a little more complex. All features will be explained in greater detail further on in the review.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is a combination theme merging the exciting and colourful aesthetic of outer space with the classic visuals of the conventional casino. BetSoft clearly found success with the first slot they created and thought that they might as well make the most of the product by repackaging it in a slightly different skin. Whatever you may think of it, this is a very common practice amongst slot developers, as it maximises the audience they attract for what is essentially the same product. That being said, the space background is still fantastic, and the graphics and visuals do perform well.

The background for 7 Fortune Frenzy is the same fantastic space scene that we saw in the 88 Frenzy Fortune game. It comprises galaxies, planets, nebulae, and endless stars that reach infinity and are put together with many different dazzling colours. As we said about the previous game, the background quality is almost so good that you start concentrating not so much on the spinning symbols but on the gently expanding space molecules behind them. The slow movement of the background is indeed hypnotising in a very pleasant way.

You can make out the board for this game just because of the reflective boxes it is made from. Each one, however, is transparent, making the most out of the detailed background behind.

The symbols for this game are organised in a spectrum of least to most valuable. The least valuable symbol in this game is the single BAR symbol which pays up to 6x the bet. Next is the double BAR icon, paying roughly 12.5x the stake for the top combination. Following this symbol is the silver seven, paying around 22.6x the stake. Next up is the gold seven symbol paying 56x the stake for the top combination. However, the most valuable symbol in this game is the blazing seven that reward players with up to 296x the stake. The specials are the multiplier icons, the re-spin icon and the instant cash icon, which only fall in the fourth reel.

Features

As this game is more or less a carbon copy of the 88 Frenzy Fortune slot it has exactly the same bonus features. This means, as briefly explained, the bonuses come courtesy of a bonus reel that is the last or fourth reel for this game. The first three reels will determine if you created a win and what the size of that win will be initially, and then the bonus symbol (if one falls into the space when you trigger a win) will decide what bonus will be applied to that win.

The bonuses that can be applied in this way include, first of all, an instant cash payout bonus icon which, if it falls when you create a win, will reward you with a random instant cash payout.

The second bonus is the multiplier bonus icon, which can help boost wins by 8x to 18x.

The third is the re-spin bonus icon, which triggers an event in which all four reels will re-spin. However, the first three reels will display the same win, so the fourth is the only one that will change to either a blank or another re-spin icon. You can win up to five re-spins with a multiplier of up to 4x for the wins.

Conclusion

Suppose you enjoyed 88 Frenzy Fortune but would have preferred symbols that are more comfortably associated with the conventional western-style casino. In that case, this is precisely the game for you. 7 Fortune Frenzy has a decent RTP, an excellent top prize and a background that will have you staring into the screen for hours.
