7UP!

News has reached my fuzzy ears that there’s something rather different in town. It’s called 7 Up slot, it’s from Endorphina and it’s a re-boot of a classic fruit machine.

But will it reward me with more than just innovation? Or is it just a souped-up one-armed bandit? Speaking of which, I met a one-armed bandit in Mexico once. He was harmless… Hahaha.
Oh dear, that joke still tickles me. Sorry.

Let’s play…

The Basics

Stop the Press: Rumour has it there’s a x7 multiplier on offer if you can get lucky in the bonus game – plus, there’s also gamble feature that sets you against the dealer.

Sounds just like my cup of Earl Grey…

The Graphics

‘Bright’ and ‘neon’ sum up the graphics in this slot. This slot is basically a classic fruit machine re-imagined and given a flash update. Behind the reels is a blacked-out computer-style screen while your game play takes place on some rather garish purple and black lines.

Enjoy the lively and buzzy music that plans as you spin – overall the game looks pleasant.

The Play

7 Up slot has 3 rows, 3 reels and 5 paylines. Make your wins by landing icons left to right. The A-Z of fruities has been raided for this game, and the reels are jam-packed with familiar icons but all slightly jazzed up. It’s enough to make me a touch nostalgic!

The purple lucky number 7 is the highest-scoring icon, followed a golden star, then the classic BAR symbol and finally the traditional fruity icons –  melon, grapes, cherries, raspberries, lemon and an orange.

Rather disappointingly there aren’t any  Wild or Scatter icons, but the bonus games make up for the lack of these.

The Bonuses

7UP Bonus Feature
The big daddy bonus is triggered by landing 9 matching icons on the reels. Next, you’ll see a multiplier wheel featuring icons and different value multipliers. Now, you get 7 chances to land an x7 multiplier. And, for each spin you take, you will be a gifted a consolation prize if you don’t quite make the muster.

How generous!

Gamble Feature
After any successful spin, you can choose to live dangerously and Gamble your winnings. Hit the “Take Risk” button at the bottom of the reels. Unlike many other slots, this gamble game is rather classier than your standard fare. There’s a touch of tension as you risk losing your loot, or doubling your pot.

You’ll see 5 different playing cards on the screen. One is upturned and the other 4 are face down. Now, you will choose which card to turn to try to beat the value of the upturned card of an invisible dealer. If the dealer’s card is higher, you lose, if it’s the same you try again, or if your card is higher, you double your win value.

Verdict

7UP! Slot is a modern twist on a traditional slot game,  great fun to play with the Multiplier Wheel and the Gamble Features.  I

Score 4 out of 5 bananas.

7UP! slot  – worth a spin if you want a twist on a classic fruity game with good bonus games!
