Scary Cherry 7s Slot Review
You'd think the sensible thing to do with a 1,000-pound pumpkin is make a whole lot of pie. Every October in Damariscotta, Maine, growers hollow the giants out, climb inside, and race them across the harbor đŁ instead.
Some bolt on outboard motors. Most just paddle and pray, because a pumpkin makes a pretty lousy life jacket đŠș once the water starts sloshing in.
Mercifully, nobody gets wet in Scary Cherry 7s slot from Kalamba. Its jack-o'-lanterns đ stay planted among the gravestones on dry land, grinning like they know exactly how close they came to being transformed into a boat.
Gameplay
Around the reels are bare, twisted trees, dark houses with an orange glow in the windows, gravestones, and little jack-o'-lanterns.
The 5x3 grid has 10 paylines, the RTPRTP stands for âReturn to Player.â The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a gameâs volatility rate. is 96.24%, volatility is high, and the max multiplier is 30,000x. The max win is $225,000, with bets running from $0.10 to $100.
Those numbers come with an asterisk, because the real control here is HyperBet. That's a row of 4 bet levels, and each one switches on more of the game.
Bet Level 1 ($0.10 to $75) pays line wins only. Multiplier Wilds, Cashpot symbols and Super Cashpot symbols all sit out, and the max multiplier is 3,000x.
Bet Level 2 ($0.25 to $7.50) wakes up the Multiplier Wilds and carries the 30,000x headline, while Cashpots stay switched off.
Bet Level 3 ($0.50 to $15) brings in Cashpot symbols and the Cashpot prizes, and its max multiplier is 15,000x.
Bet Level 4 ($5 to $100) adds Super Cashpot symbols, and the rules say the chance of a Cashpot prize is higher than on Level 3.
The game pushes Bet Level 4 for its "max win potential," yet its max multiplier is the smallest of the 4 at 1,500x, which works out to a $150,000 max win.
The Orange 7 symbol tops the paytable at 60x for 5, 20x for 4 and 5x for 3. Green 7 and Purple 7 both pay 20x for 5 and 10x for 4, and only the 3-of-a-kind pay splits them: 5x for Green, 3x for Purple.
Triple BAR pays 6x, 2.5x and 1.5x for 5, 4 and 3. Double BAR and Single BAR both pay 4x for 5, then split at 2x and 1.5x for 4, and 1x and 0.6x for 3.
The mixed combos sit at the bottom. Any 7 and Any BAR both pay 2x for 5 and 1x for 4, and 3 of them get you 0.3x and 0.2x. Three Any BAR symbols hand back a fifth of what you bet, which makes the word "win" seem a bit generous (or cruel).
The Multiplier Wild symbol is switched off on Bet Level 1. From Level 2 up, it substitutes for everything except Cashpot, Super Cashpot and Bonus symbols, and it carries a 1x, 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier.
When 2 or more of them land in the same win, their values multiply each other, so a pair of 5x Wilds makes that win 25 times bigger. The 1x is just a regular Wild in a party hat.
There are 2 kinds of Cashpot symbols. The standard ones are active on Bet Levels 3 and 4, and the Super Cashpot is active on Level 4 only. Each one carries a value, and the plain cash values top out at 5x.
On Level 3, standard Cashpots carry 0.3x to 5x. On Level 4, standard Cashpots drop to 0.03x to 0.5x, and Super Cashpots carry 0.4x to 4x.
Any of them can also carry one of the Cashpot prize values, and 5 or more of them in any mix pays out what's on the symbols.
That same count drives the jackpots. There are 8 fixed Cashpot prizes on Bet Levels 3 and 4, and you can win them in the base game and in Free Spins.
You collect whatever the interface shows for that level at the moment you hit it.
On Level 3, 5 symbols pay 10x, 6 pay 15x, 7 pay 20x and 8 pay 40x. After that the ladder jumps: 9 pay 200x, 10 pay 400x, 11 pay 1,000x, and all 12 pay 10,000x.
Bet Level 4's ladder is a tenth of that, from 1x for 5 symbols to 1,000x for 12. Only the highest level you reach gets paid.
Features
FREE SPINS:
Land 3 or more Bonus symbols to trigger Free Spins. The backdrop turns green, with castle towers, bats and twisted trees on the hill.
Cashpots stay live during the round. Extra Free Spins symbols fill a counter under the reels, and every 3 you collect adds 3 more spins. A retrigger needs 3 of those symbols, so it's a slow build rather than a free gift.
BUY BONUS:
The 8 Free Spins option costs 220x, the 12 Free Spins cost 360x, and both switch on Super Cashpot symbols.
Performance
The only thing that scares me is my ex mother-in-law, and I wouldnât have been surprised if theyâd used her as a prop in this game. Iâll tell you what wasnât unsettling; how smoothly the game played across my devices.
Maximum Win
Put the max multiplier of 30,000x on Bet Level 2's top bet of $7.50 and the max win comes to $225,000. The smallest bet you can place is $0.10.
Conclusion
The line pays won't carry anybody, since the Orange 7 stops at 60x. The money in the slot comes from the Cashpot ladder on Bet Levels 3 and 4, and from Multiplier Wilds multiplying each other from Level 2 up.
The bet levels are where it gets odd. The 30,000x max multiplier sits on Level 2, where Cashpots are switched off, so the only way there is a line win with Wilds of up to 5x each multiplying together.
That's a bit (a lot) of a stretch. Level 3's 15,000x at least has the 10,000x 12-cherry Cashpot behind it.
Then there's Level 4, the one the game tells you to play. It has the smallest max multiplier of the 4 at 1,500x, and only the bigger bets keep its max win at $150,000. So the biggest multiplier lives on the level with the smallest top bet, $7.50.
The buys are expensive. Per spin, the 8-spin buy works out to 27.5x and the 12-spin one to 30x, so the smaller buy is the cheaper ticket. I'd probably still skip both and let the bet levels do the work. It wouldâve been nice if the studio published the hit rate.
Small-bet players chasing a giant multiplier belong on Bet Level 2, as long as they accept it's mostly a long shot.
Mid-bet Cashpot hunters should sit on Level 3, where the 12-cherry 10,000x is a real target. Big bettors on Level 4 should know they're giving up multiplier size in exchange for bet size.
