Route 777

Theme

It’s time for a road trip!

Inspired by the legendary Route 66, which connects Chicago to the Santa Monica Pier in L.A, ELK Studios decided to create a game with imaginary Route 777 as the main focus.

Set on the road going through a desert, we can see old style gas station on the side, big cacti and occasional tumbleweed rolling around while the clouds are slowly moving across the blue sky. Above the reels is a big pixilated screen with pictures of scorpion, rattlesnake, cars and Route 777 logo rotating. With every win, the screen will light up.

Rock and Roll tune is playing as the soundtrack and guitar riffs are fantastic. 

With thousands of miles of open road ahead and sunny and warm weather, the highway is biker’s paradise! That’s exactly the feeling Swedish based company wanted and succeeded to create with this title.

Betting Options and Symbols

The slot is basic with 3 reels, 3 rows, and 17 fixed paylines.

Before you start your engine and hit the road, set your bet.

The total bet is in the range from 0.20 to 100 $ per spin.

The developer also decided to offer 4 different betting strategies to players. But don’t worry, if you don’t select a strategy, the traditional betting will be activated automatically.

AND …

… What about the symbols?!

Traditional cherries, lemons, BAR and 7s are among the icons. Lucky 7 comes in 4 versions - white, blue, red and multicolored. Those are the highest paying symbols in the paytable as well. Multicolored one will get you an amazing 7.000 coins for the ultimate combo of 5 on the payline. White 7 awards you with 1.000, red with 750 and blue with 350 coins for landing 5 on the payline.

Special Features

The Scatter is represented with a skull wearing a biking helmet and if you manage to get 3 of them anywhere in the view, it’s going to trigger 5 bonus spins.

During this round, landing two skulls will get you a random number of additional spins, anywhere between 5 and 15. But if you land 3 of them, Fortune Wheel will get activated. When this happens, you’re taken to the new window and the goal is to collect 3 identical 7 before it stops on the Stop sign. Collecting 3 multicolor 7s would get a player 100.000 coins.

BUT …

… That’s not all!

If on the reels 1 and 2 player gets matching symbols on all three positions, the reward will be 5 Overtake Respins. During this round, the first two columns are moving one step downwards for every spin. 

Conclusion

At first glance, this game may seem a bit underwhelming. After all, the first thing you notice is that 3x3 grid, a bunch of fruits and 7s and odd looking screen above the reels. But, this is much more than a basic slot.

if you give it a couple of moments, you’ll realize that graphics and design are done marvelously. Some parts don’t really match but that shouldn’t put anybody off. Respins feature, Bonus spins and Wheel of Fortune are the awards player can get while betting on this reels.
