777 Surge Review

Having milked their successful instant scatter jackpot concept for a while now, Gameburger is seemingly looking to expand their repertoire with another classic concept. The popular Microgaming partner has avoided the word Reel King altogether in 777 Surge, and the very similar feature is instead called ‘Mini Reel Bonus’ in this release.

All the symbols are inspired by classic fruit machine type games, with flaming triple 7s throning at the top of the paytable. Getting 3-oak 7 symbols is what it’s all about when the Mini Reel Bonus triggers as well, as this is how you win the top prize on either of the 3 different mini slots. The orange mini slot pays up to 2,000x your stake, while up to 6,000x your stake can be won in the multiplier bonus round.

The premium symbols consist of single, double and triple flaming 7s, and they pay 5, 15 or 30 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. Any combo of 7 symbols pays 2.5x your stake for the same, while the Wild symbol pays 30x your stake for 5-oak. The wild also steps in for regular pay symbols to help complete winning combos, like wilds usually do.

Landing 3+ Mini Reel Bonus Symbols triggers the Mini Reel feature, and each of the triggering mini slots will then spin one after the other. The mini reels come with 3 reels and 1 payline, and they also come with 3 different colors that indicate the top prize.

The top prize is won by landing three 7 symbols, and they are as follows:

• The Orange Mini Reel top prize is 2,000x your stake.
• The Purple Mini Reel top prize is 100x your stake.
• The Blue Mini Reel top prize is 50x your stake.

You can also land smaller payouts up to 15x your stake from each of the mini reels, but most commonly you will get a mix of any symbols. This pays only 1x your stake.

Landing 3 scatter symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 triggers the Bonus Round, and you start by spinning the Free Spins and Multiplier Wheel. You will thus get between 7 and 30 free spins, combined with a multiplier of x2, x3 or x5. The multiplier applies to all regular line wins, but it does not apply to Mini Reel payouts. You can retrigger the bonus round by landing 3 scatters, and this awards the same amount of free spins as you got initially.

You get to see the Mini Reels feature at the start of the 3-minute highlights video, and we also land some smaller payouts here and there.

The bonus round triggers at 1:33 into the video, and we got 7 free spins with an x2 multiplier. You can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

It cannot be denied that Gameburger has basically ripped off the Reel King concept in this release, as 777 Surge comes with a very similar Mini Reel Bonus. Regular payouts top out at 600x your stake in the base game, or 900x if you somehow manage to fill the grid with wilds. The Orange Mini Reel is thus your best chance at closing in on the 6,000x potential outside of the bonus round, as the top prize from the 2 other mini slots is basically a top-up win.

In our experience, getting anything but 3 mixed symbols that pay 1x your stake didn’t seem all that easy. Also, unless you win an actual top prize, 15x is the most you can hope for anyway, which isn’t very impressive. The multiplier bonus round is fairly standard stuff, and it would have been more fun if the multiplier also applied to the Mini Reel prizes. This is sadly not the case however, but fans of the whole mini slot concept might find this installment enjoyable.

Pros

• High value wild for up to 900x payouts
• Mini Reel Bonus w/ prizes up to 2,000x
• FS w/ up to x5 multiplier (not Mini Reels)
• Win up to 6,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
• Obvious Reel King copycat

If you enjoy 777 Surge Slot you should also try:

Reel King - is the iconic original release from Inspired Gaming, and you can win up to 25x your stake from the Reel King mini slots. Up to 5 mini slots can spin at the same time in the bonus round, and you can win up to 500x your stake at the most.

Reel King Mega - is Red Tiger’s take on the classic mini slot concept, and you trigger the feature when all 5 reels are lit with the golden color.

You get guaranteed mini slot wins in the bonus round, and the max win is 500x your stake (which is decent for a low volatility release like this).

Reel King Megaways - is Inspired Gaming’s dynamic reels version of the classic Novomatic mini slot concept, which is kind of a paradox when you think about it. You get up to 117,649 win ways, and the lit reels is your key to the mini slot feature also here. The mini reel free spins can take you to the progressive multiplier bonus round, for payouts up to 12,500x your stake.
