7 Sins

In the mythology of certain religions, the seven deadly sins are considered a set of acts that will bring the demise of a person. Play N Go has brought this theme to live with the 7 Sins online slot, a game that uses the lucky number seven in a lot of different ways. It has a fun theme with a cast of seven women who represent these seven deadly sins, and the animated style of the graphics comes off as very polished. It's a good example of this company using an atypical theme in the production of a very high-quality online game.

Format and Layout

The format for this game uses five reels with three rows and 243 ways to win. The all-ways aspect of the game is actually very important to the gameplay itself because there are ways to win seven of a kind in this title, and it's based primariliy off of double wild symbols. These double wilds wouldn't be in play as much if they didn't have the all-ways format backing them up. Betting is based on sets of 20 coins, and you can place wagers that run from $0.20 to $100 apiece. It's a very straightforward way to handle betting in a game that has a somewhat atypical style of gameplay.

Note that the payouts described below are based on multiples of your entire bet size.

Wilds and Double Wilds

The seven is the wild symbol in this game, which makes sense both from the slot perspective of the lucky red seven and from the perspective that the game itself is based on the seven deadly sins. You can pick up a 700x payout for seven of a kind of this symbol, 20x for six, 2x for four and 1x for three. There isn't a way to make five of a kind, and that's why the game doesn't have a payout for it.

So how can you get seven of a kind or six of a kind of a wild symbol in a five-reel game? The answer to that question is that the wilds on the second and fourth reels always show up as double wilds. This means that they count twice in creating winning combinations. This leads to a very wide range of different available payouts in this game in general, but it also means that you'll get longer winning combinations on average than you would otherwise.

Free Spins Bonus Feature

Whenever you get three of the scattered golden rectangle symbol, then you'll be given a win worth twice your total bet, but you'll also pick up a set of seven free spins. You'll start the feature by choosing one of the seven women symbols, and only that one will show up on the reels. It'll also show up stacked on the center reel. On top of that, you'll get increasing multipliers from 1x to 7x as the free spins play on to give you even more value.

If you pick up just two scatters, you get a 1-in-7 chance to add the third with a second chance feature. You pick from the seven women, and if you pick correctly, you get the third scatter along with the 2x payout and the seven free turns.

Top Payouts

The seven of a kind wins are the biggest, aside from the 700x win for seven wilds. You can pick up pays that range from 250x to 100x for seven of a kind of the seven different women who represent the seven deadly sins. You can also score from 35x to 20x for seven of the spade, heart, club or diamond symbols, which are the low paying symbols in this game. They have been stylized in a very solid way that fits in with the Dante-esque graphical motif of the slot.

Overview

7 Sins is a very in-depth online slot with atypical gameplay. Play N Go has done an excellent job with this game, and it has the right balance of good graphics and solid play that create awesome experiences for players. While the name of the game might turn off some players who stay away from anything remotely religious, it's not a religious game at all outside of the seven motif, and the names of the sins aren't even referenced in it at all.
