Sparky 7 Slot Review

Launched in mid-2021, Sparky 7 is a 3-reel classic slot developed by Realtime Gaming (RTG), who is undoubtedly one of the top game studios. This game features just 5 pay-lines and is thus a very simple slot game to comprehend and play.

The slot’s theme can be categorized as retro with a modern twist. The reels feature all the basic classic slot symbols such as different coloured 7s, bar symbols, a W symbol denoting the wild and a bonus symbol which triggers the scatter.

Sparky 7 is a high variance slot and is therefore a perfect fit for players looking to make big wins instead of consistent small wins. The special features include staples like wilds, scatter, multipliers, etc. but also some unique features such as the transferring symbols.

The number of active pay-lines is fixed and cannot be changed during play and only the highest win on an active pay-line is added to the game balance.

The user interface is easy to control. The buttons at the bottom of the reel set have a 3D appearance. A translucent black panel runs across the bottom section of the game window and displays the current balance, win amount and stake amount. Players have the ability to switch between normal speed and turbo for high tempo action. The background music is electric and fast paced, which complements the game-play nicely. However, it can be turned off from within the game settings if you prefer to play in silence.

Here’s a detailed and realistic review of Sparky 7 and its various features and bonuses.

Being a new release with some unique special features and bonus rounds, we recommend that players try the game in fun play mode for a few times initially. This is a great way to get acclimatized to the fast tempo, the different symbols, and its many special features, and get a good command over the interface and controls. Once familiar with the games, game rules and bonus rounds, players can play for real money and thus minimize the risk of losing money due to unintended or inadvertent game play rather than just bad luck.

Transferring Symbols

The transferring symbols feature is an authentic special feature of this game. It swings into action when the player lands any two 7 symbols in an active pay-line where the third spot on the pay-line is a blank space. A random symbol will then appear in the blank space to complete the pay-line and the wins are calculated depending on which symbol lands there. The wild symbol only substitutes the 7 symbols in such a round.

Multipliers                     

Sparky 7 slot is blessed with random multipliers and win multipliers. The win multiplier is awarded during the free games round and the random multiplier may be triggered randomly at any time. It is not uncommon to see win multipliers of up to 4x the win during the free games round.

The session does have an inactivity timer and gets disconnected after a few minutes of inactivity.

Auto Play

The auto play feature has become a standard inclusion in most modern-day online video slot games. Many players prefer to use auto play instead of repeatedly pressing play hundreds of times. This comes in handy especially when playing for longer durations. The auto play button is located on the extreme right of the buttons row. When you click on the auto play button, a small vertical menu extends upwards and players can choose how many spins they want to automate. The options include 100, 50, 25, 10, 5 and even infinity. At any time, you can stop auto play by simply clicking on the play button which when auto play is enabled becomes the stop button.

Wilds

The wild feature is denoted by a large W symbol. The wild symbol acts like a joker in a deck of cards. It can be substituted for other symbols to make a winning pay-line with the expectation that it cannot act as a scatter symbol. During the transferring symbols special round, the wild symbol can only substitute a 7 symbol.

Free Spins

The scatter symbol is a golden symbol with a pink foreground with the word ‘bonus’ on it. If and when you land 3 scatter symbols on the reels (they can be anywhere, does not have to be on one of the 5 pay-lines), it triggers the free games round. 7 free games are issued and these free spins transpire automatically, you don’t have to press play for each one.
