In this 3×5 escapade focusing on a classic 7s theme, players venture into an action-packed world of distinctive fruits and icons, with the base game offering multiple routes to big prizes.

Multipliers combine up to x12 can be awarded on any line, whilst six or more Lightning Bolts triggers the Respin feature. During this round, jackpots and Colossal Lightning Bolts are available, with these landing on any spin and splitting into individual Lightning Bolts to further boost prizes.

Progressive Grand and Major jackpots can be activated on any spin, with the Grand version remaining at a larger value to entice players.
