“Classic slots with a modern twist” are abundant, and Pariplay’s Hot Wild 7s doesn’t particularly stand out. The reels are colorful, set against a generic backdrop, with predictable sound effects. Symbol values need to be divided by 20 to determine potential winnings, and it’s inconvenient that you can’t place £/€1 bets. The customizable RTP ranges are another downside, though the highest default RTP of 96.25% is reasonable. Winning symbols are engulfed in flames, and about half of your spins will land a winning combination. Symbols often land in stacks, with potential winnings of up to 2,000x your stake in the bonus round. The flaming red 7 wild can land on any of the five reels, replacing all regular pay symbols. It’s the highest paying symbol, offering 25x your stake for five on a payline. This means a full screen of wilds could yield a 1,000x payout if all 40 paylines are active. The bell scatter pays 1,000x for five anywhere in sight, and at least three are needed on a single spin to trigger the bonus round. This grants 10 free spins, which can be retriggered by landing three or more bell scatters on a free spin. There’s no limit to the number of times the bonus round can be retriggered. The hit rate is high, resulting in frequent small wins in the base game. Some of these are shown in the 5-minute highlights video, or you can skip to 1:11 to see the bonus round. We retriggered the free spins several times, with winnings displayed by clicking the play button. Hot Wild 7s is a basic game from Pariplay, appealing to casual fruit machine fans. The high hit rate of 47.4% ensures frequent base game wins, but significant wins are rare. The bonus round is similar to the base game, though wilds seem easier to land. Despite the fair amount won in our testing session, Hot Wild 7s didn’t leave a lasting impression. It’s a typical fruit slot with a mediocre 2,000x potential, offering nothing new from Pariplay. Pros and cons of Hot Triple Sevens, a classic 3×3 slot from EvoPlay, include a 3,078x potential, triple symbols, and a bonus round with tripled wins. Hot to Burn, a Pragmatic Play fruit slot, features 5 reels, 5 win ways, flaming winning symbols, potential winnings of 1,000x your stake, wilds, scatter wins, and medium volatility. Burning Classics, a classic-style slot from Booming Games, offers a 2,000x potential, stacked symbols, a bonus round, gamble feature, and wilds.
