With its retro look and design, Loaded 7s is an IGT slot game that plays on the warm, fuzzy feelings of nostalgia. If you want to compare oranges with oranges — which serve as one of the game’s fruit symbols — then Loaded 7s stacks up against other classic online slots. It’s available on all devices and offers a vast betting range from $0.06 to $600, so it will appeal to players with different risk appetites.
Game Overview
Loaded 7s has a classic 5×3 reel setup, with 243 ways to win. The game has a medium volatility and a return to player (RTP) of 96.26%. If players are looking for all the bells and whistles of Vegas slot machines and not just bells and bars, the game may lack depth, but there’s elegance in its simplicity.Â
Everything about this game is standard, with few surprises. The setup, symbols, and ways to win won’t confound anyone, making it a great option for novice players. It may never rank among the most popular slot machines, but it is an online casino staple.
How To Play
Place a bet with any value from $0.06–$600 and start spinning the reels. The symbols on Loaded 7s are inspired by the classic fruit slot machines of old and include the highest-value symbol, the crown, worth 600x your stake; the bell at 480x, the star at 300x; the watermelon at 120x; the plum at 72, the orange and the cherries at 60x; and the bar, double bar, and triple bar at 150x, 180x, and 210x respectively. Land any three or more matching symbols from left to right for a win.
The Lucky 7s symbol is the wild and can appear anywhere, substituting for any paying symbol with the exception of the scatter, which is represented by the cannon. Â
The gameplay is standard, with no fancy mechanism or features, but landing three or more cannons triggers free spins rounds.
Graphics
Fans of interactive video slots may find Loaded 7s a little slow and boring but anyone who loves slots with free spins should check this game out. There are no animations or fancy backdrops; the reels are the main graphic feature of the game. Its symbols, which include well-rendered oranges, plums, watermelons, and cherries, hark back to the days of traditional fruit slot machines, or one-armed bandits. Perhaps the crown and star are departures from what might be expected, but the bell and bar are entirely in keeping with the retro style. There’s also no pumping soundtrack; just the click and whirr of the reels as they spin and stop, with a few added sound effects when there’s a payout. Otherwise, it’s a quiet and calm slot game.
Features
There are only really two features in this game: the free spins bonus rounds, which are triggered when three or more cannon symbols land on the reels, and the wild that remains in place until it pays. This means that any Lucky 7s that land in the free spins bonus rounds remain in place until they create a winning combination.
Bonuses and Jackpots
The Loaded 7s free spins bonus feature is triggered by three cannons that award 10 free spins and four cannons that award 15 free spins, while five cannons across all the reels award players 20 free spins. Free spins can also be re-triggered if a further three to five scatter symbols land during these rounds.
During the free spins, any Lucky 7 symbol that lands will remain in position until it forms part of a winning combination. Although the game lacks features and isn’t a jackpot slot, the sticky wilds casino mechanism is a player favorite, and with 243 paylines and a maximum win of 600x per line, the potential for a big win is there.

Treasure Box Dynasty has both quality and quantity when it comes to bonus games, and Wheel of Fortune Ruby Riches, based on the iconic TV game show, is sophisticated and has some complexity to it, using the Ca$hlink Deluxe jackpot feature.
