Hit start and the slots will begin their familiar tumble as a flurry of oranges, plums (or are they grapes?), cherries and lemons glide by. It’s strangely refreshing, however, to see a slot that takes it back to simpler times, when sevens and fruit were all you needed to while the hours away.

Video slots have come a long way in the past few years, with endless variants and all manner of quirky symbols used in play. The potential return then is enormous, provided your luck’s in and those sevens are falling into line. The 3-reel slot, with 5 instantly active lines, allows you to wager anywhere from 8 to 2,000 credits per line. Don’t let the simplistic look of this slot deter you – there’s a lot of fun to be had and a shedload of money to be made. Burning Hot 7’s is a 3-reel video slot from Novomatic that’s traditionally styled but packed with a few surprises. Dubbed “the world’s favourite number”, seven has long been synonymous with luck – which explains why they’re so common on fruit machines and video slots the world over. How do you like your sevens? Burning hot of course and all in a line – it’s the only acceptable way to have them served.
