Route 777 Slot Review

Route 777 is a brand new online slot released by the Swedish game development company Elk Studios at the beginning of November 2017. This 3-reel and 17 payline slot, same as the Ivanhoe slot, takes you on a motorcycle ride on the route 666 inspired highway Route 777 across the American desert. The classic-styled video slot is loaded with free spins and re-spins, and a very rewarding fortune wheel with retro styled sound effects.

Overview

The game’s exciting motor ride begins in New York and takes you on a straight desert highway with gold glistening in the sunlight. This online slot resembles a classic fruit machine with its classic theme and retro-styled sound effects. Its reels are set against a backdrop of desert highway accompanied by rock stacks, tarmac, and a vintage petrol station. Route 777 is a three-reel video slot with three rows and seventeen fixed paylines by one of the relatively newer online slots developers in the gaming market, the Swedish Elk Studios.

 

As mentioned above, it is a retro styled slot and includes such classic fruit machine symbols as cherries, lemons, bars, red sevens, blue sevens, silver sevens, and a triple, multicoloured seven symbol, as well as barbary figs and skulls. The helmeted skull and crossed wrenches symbol is the game’s bonus symbol. The low-value symbols in the game are the four traditional fruit machine symbols, cherries, lemon, barbary fig, and BAR, followed by the blue, red, and silver sevens – their value is in ascending order. The highest-valued symbol is the triple, multicoloured seven symbol. The value of each symbol can be found by clicking the Menu on the upper left-hand side of the screen.

How to play

Route 777 video slot has a wide selection of coin values: £0.20, £0.40, £0.60, £1.00, £2.00. £4.00, £6.00, £10.00, £20.00, £40.00, £60.00, and £100.00. The player can choose to play up to a maximum of 17 paylines and 12 bet levels. The slot features built-in betting strategies aimed at helping you exploit your winning or losing streaks to cash in bigger and better prizes. The betting strategies are categorized as:

 

·        Optimiser – bet level will change automatically, adapting to the selected percentage of the player’s balance. There are four available percentages – 1%, 2%, 5%, and 10%.

·        Leveller – this betting strategy raises your bet two levels after five loses in a row. A repetition increases the bet for 2 more levels. This strategy is reset after a win.

·        Booster – this strategy raises by one after a single loss, until reaching 4 levels above the base bet. As with Leveller, it resets after a win.

·        Jumper – the final strategy raises your bet one level after every win, after reaching 4 levels above the base bet, s with the previous 2 strategies, it resets after a win.

 

The betting strategies, as well as the 12 bet levels, can be found and set by clicking the ‘Coins +” button at the bottom left-hand side of the screen. The bar at the bottom right-hand side of the screen gives you information on your bet. After your betting strategy has been set, you need to click the Spin button – round button with circular arrow on it – at the bottom right-hand side of the screen. Route 777 can be played automatically by selecting the Auto Spin feature. This feature is activated by holding down the Spin button, or using the Auto Spin button – round button at the upper right-hand side of the screen – to set the number of rounds to be played automatically.
