777 Surge Review

Slots with retro concepts are a thing developers always come back to when they run out of ideas. Additionally, they are always a good idea because those concepts made slots famous in the first place.

Creating retro slot games will never become old-fashioned, with many studios nowadays giving them modern twists and touches. Gameburger Studios created 777 Surge with a similar idea, developing a retro game with a modern appeal.

It is a shiny low-key slot that will not break any records but provide solid entertainment and undoubtedly deliver a memorable playing experience.

• Highly volatile game with a maximum win of 6,546x the stake
• Twenty paylines
• Wilds, Scatters, Free Spins, and Mini Reel Prize

The online slot blends a classic look and classic icons with a contemporary modern look and attractive features. We cannot say we see this combination for the first time, but it looks good here. The sound effects also bring you back to the previous decades, completing the audio-visual presentation nicely.

There are only a few features, but they make up exciting gameplay with a problem or two. The biggest is that it feels like a copy, recycling better releases and their features.

Still, it provides fantastic entertainment, at least for a short while, reminding you of the old times. However, it has enough modern elements to attract the younger punters.

Theme, Graphics and Sounds

The graphics are sharp and crisp, and visually, everything looks smooth, which is always a good thing. Jingling retro sound effects contribute to the general nostalgic vibe and make a perfectly fitting track.

It seems simple, but it is never easy to find a tune that complements the picture well. The studio opted for a few features that provide solid but not spectacular payouts. It is not boring, especially for the first couple of hours, but then it wears off after all.

Although there are no blatant and unforgiving mistakes, the game becomes a bit bland after some time. Retro or not, the game without surprises will never be attractive to the audience.

The action plays out on a classic 5×3 grid with twenty paylines. Land three to five matching icons on the same payline to score a win.

Low-pay symbols are Cherries, a Bar, A Bell, and a Dollar Sign, awarding 1x-3x the bet for five of a kind. Premium symbols include Sevens in various combinations. Five single Sevens are worth 5x, five Double Sevens give 15x, and an entire reel of Triple Sevens amounts to 30x the bet.

Moreover, you can also win with a mixed combination of Sevens, paying 2.5x the stake for five. Wild symbols replace regulars in winning combinations, Scatters trigger the Free Spins round, and the Mini Reel icons activate their own Bonus.
