Hacksaw Gaming has a new fruit slot – not really sure if we should be taken aback by this or wonder why it hasn’t happened sooner. But not to worry, there are a lot of modern touches waiting to be found.

Let’s start with the Super Cascade. This mechanic removes not just the winning symbols, but all of those type symbols on the board, which means lots of new chances to hit a cluster pay. You’ll also find a total win bar; wins collected here are awarded at the end of each spin.

Full Rules & Information About the Superstar Sevens Online Slot

Superstar Sevens plays out on a 6×5 grid using cluster pays, which means you need groupings rather than paylines. It has several RTP versions, so look for the 96.37% version. Bet ranges go from 10 cents to $100 per spin, so lots of options for bettors of all sizes, but the max win is 10,000x.

The Lightning Bolt Scatter symbol not only gets you free spins when you hit three of them, but in a very rare instance, six of them on screen could land you that max payout.

Superstar Sevens Symbols & Payouts

As one might expect, the symbol set is retro, but its appearance is definitely more post-retro, with jagged edges and modern hues. In all fairness, the only fruit here are limes and cherries, with dice, a diamond, and a crown rounding out the top paying symbols.

The usual ace through ten make up the lower-paying symbols, though the font and styling remain a bit unusual. Keep an eye out for the Epic Lightning Symbol as it can add from 5x to 100x your collected wins on the Total Win Bar.

The wild can substitute for all symbols on the paytable.

Superstar Sevens Bonuses & Features

The core of the game is the Super Cascades, along with the Total Win Bar that tracks all your wins and adds multipliers. But here are three free spin rounds, which is where the real action comes in.

Reel Charge

Three of the electric 7s get you the first free spin game. Here, you are awarded ten free spins, with an increased chance of hitting those Lightning and Epic Lightning multipliers. Land more 7s instead, and you can add to your free spins for the round.

Lucky Strike

Four 7s gets you pretty much the same as Reel Charge, with one very important difference. Now you are guaranteed a lightning symbol on every one of your ten free spins. Again, more scatters in this round add more spins.

Juicy Joltz

Five 7s gets you the hidden bonus free spin round. You are guaranteed a lightning symbol every round but not the Epic one. In return, though the total win bar is now progressive and awards the total win after all ten spins are up, which can cause some explosive wins.

Lucky Strike guarantees a lightning symbol on each spin.

As we’ve come to expect from Hacksaw, you can buy your way into these bonus rounds for a hefty fee. Reel Charge is yours for 200x your bet, and you can have Lucky Strike for 500x.

Similar Games & Best Alternatives

While not stylistically similar, you can find the Total Win Bar in Hacksaw’s Pray For Six title, which also features a very similar three-separate free spin round formula. No cluster pays, though.

If you’re just disappointed in the lack of fruit available here, we can promise BetSoft’s Fruit Zen will provide you with all the juicy, sweet fruit your heart could desire. You can still find BetDigital’s Blazin’ Hot 7s if you need some retro feel without all those fancy new mechanics.

Cascading Cherries Cluster-pay Chaos

The Super Cascades add a lot of visual action to the base games, while the three tiers of free spins give you a bonus round that feels like an actual bonus.

The retro appeal is mostly surface-level, and the soundtrack is a bit off, but Hacksaw has once again shown why they are one of the most innovative game designers out there, even when reimagining something as simple as the old fruit-and-seven games.
