Hot Slot 777: Crown

Hot Slot 777: Crown Overview

Designed by Wazdan, this game is the epitome of classic slot gaming in the online era. Although this game's graphics, dynamics, and visuals may be modern, the mechanics at the heart of this slot are as old as slot machines themselves. Mechanically this game is played on five reels with three rows each. This game has a total of 20 pay lines, an RTP of 96.47% and a maximum payout of 305x the stake. Hot Slot 777: Crown is designed to appeal to a purist style of gamer who shuns the more complex features and themes in favour of classic gaming with no frills or unnecessary extras.

The features of this game, it won't surprise you are very simple. Indeed, there is just one feature here. It is a scatter bonus that rewards you for landing multiple crowns on the board. Landing three or more of these crowns on the reels at the same time will result in an instant cash win. The more scatters that you land, the larger the cash payout. The largest cash win you can register via this feature is 50x the stake for the top combination of five scatters on the board.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is a combination of classic fruity with the aesthetic of heat or flames. Adding a third dimension to this look is the incorporation of a crown scatter, which gives this game a connotation of royalty or prestige. All these elements combine to form a pretty entertaining theme that, although it has no real harmony to it, is oddly entertaining and interesting. If you were to take a more cynical view of things, you might say that this is just another online slot with a fruity theme like any other game out there. However, this is for you to make a judgment, not us.

The background for this game is a simple black void with hints of flames or embers. This is a classic move for designers of these types of games and one that guides your eyes naturally to the spinning reels and the betting fun that is on offer. The black background is a pleasant one if you are not into those images that so often back slot games these days, which are overcomplicated and visually distracting. Again, though, if you were going to take the cynical view, you'd say that the provider has put little thought or effort into the background's design as it doesn't matter enough to them to come up with anything fresh or original.
The playing board for this game is a glitzy golden rectangle with crown-like edges.

The symbols for this game are split into low-value, high-value and special symbols. The low-value symbols are cherries, lemons, oranges and plums. These all have the same value, paying out at 10x the stake for the top combination of five in a row. On the other hand, the more valuable symbols are the grapes, melons, 7s and crowns. The crowns, in addition to being the only special in this game, are also the most valuable symbol, paying out at 50x the stake for the top combination.

Features

The only feature in this game is the scatter cash payout bonus. This game rewards you for landing scatters anywhere on the reels. The more scatters that you land, the better the reward. You must land three or more of the crowns for this feature to be triggered. The prizes range from 2x the stake for three scatters to 10x for four scatters and 50x for five.

Conclusion

Classic, easy to play and with a theme that will appeal to plenty of players, this is a pretty standard game from this designer. The win potential, as we have covered, is pretty poor due to the low top win and the lacking feature payouts. You really have to enjoy classic slots to get much from this game. However, to many, this will be a heaven that is only rarely found in the modern lobbies and offerings of providers.
