Superstar Sevens

Superstar Sevens Slot Review

Superstar Sevens from Hacksaw Gaming packs a punch with its retro arcade-style aesthetics and classic nostalgia, packed with spinning sevens, bright visuals, and electrifying wins!

Superstar Sevens marks Hacksaw Gaming’s 8th instalment of 2026, continuing a run of varied releases that give players plenty of choice when choosing what to spin next. Rather than sticking to traditional mechanics, Hacksaw Gaming is known for finding ways to refresh gameplay, whether through new mechanics or upgrades to existing ones.

In Superstar Sevens, that approach takes the form of a Total Win Bar, a Cascade Counter, and Lightning symbols. Together, they work to unlock Multipliers worth up to x100, which is applied to the final collected win for the spin, creating an electrifying atmosphere for big win potential…

Base Game & Features

Superstar Sevens is a medium volatility video slot with 6 reels, 5 rows, and a Cluster Pays mechanic. Paytable symbols trigger winning combinations when 5-13 identical symbols land in a horizontal or vertical alignment across the reels.

The highest-paying symbol is the Diamond, followed by the Crown, Cherries, Dice, Limes, and A, K, Q, J, & 10 card suits. After a spin is complete, each winning cluster awards a fixed payout between 0.1x and 100x your bet.

In addition, Wilds substitute for all symbols when part of a winning cluster. After each winning cluster, all winning symbols are removed from the reels, allowing new symbols to drop in from above via a Cascade Feature. This continues until no further winning clusters are available in the same spin.

Total Win Bar

Throughout gameplay, each winning payout is collected into the Total Win Bar outside the main reel set. All collected wins are awarded at the end of each spin, once any Lightning symbols have applied their Multiplier.

Cascade Counter

Landing a Lightning symbol anywhere on the reels activates the Cascade Counter in the same spin. Once active, all non-winning symbols that are removed from the reels are collected & converted into individual Multipliers.

Each low-paying symbol adds a x1 Multiplier, while each collected high-paying symbol adds a x2 Multiplier, which is visible in the Total Win Bar. When all wins & cascades are finished, the final collected win is multiplied by the accumulated value from the Cascade Counter before being paid out.

Alternatively, if an Epic Lightning symbol appears while there is an active Total Win Bar, the accumulated win is multiplied by an additional set of Multipliers, between x5 and x100, at the end of the spin. Additionally, if 6 FS Scatters land in the same spin, the 10,000x Max Win is awarded.

Superstar Sevens: Free Spins

Triggering the Reel Change Bonus requires 3 FS Scatters to land in the same spin, awarding 10 Free Spins. This bonus continues to follow the same base game mechanics, with an increased chance of landing Lightning & Epic Lightning symbols.

Landing 2 or 3 FS Scatters in this mode awards an additional 2-4 Free Spins, respectively.

Lucky Strike

Alternatively, landing 4 FS Scatters triggers the Lucky Strike Bonus, awarding 10 Free Spins. Again, this mode follows the same mechanics found in the Reel Change Bonus; only a Lightning symbol is guaranteed to land on every spin.

Having 2 or 3 FS Scatters land in the same spin awards a further 2-4 Free Spins, respectively.

Juicy Joltz

The final mode, Juciy Joltz, acts as the game’s Hidden Bonus, triggered when 5 FS Scatters land in the same spin, awarding 10 Free Spins. In this session, the Total Win Bar is progressive, meaning the accumulated wins remain active until the end of the mode, at which point the final win is awarded.

Again, landing 2 or 3 FS Scatters awards an additional 2-4 Free Spins, respectively.

Featurespins & Bonus Buy

Players may purchase any of the following Featurespins & Bonus Buy modes:

• Bonushunt Featurespins: Each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger a Free Spins mode for 3x your bet per spin
• Juiced Featurespins: Each spin guarantees at least 1 Lightning symbol and 1 winning cluster for 50x your bet
• Reel Change: Awards 10 Free Spins with an increased chance of landing Lightning symbols for 100x your bet
• Lucky Strike: Awards 10 Free Spins and a guaranteed Lightning symbol on each spin for 250x your bet

Superstar Sevens has a maximum win capacity of 10,000x your bet. If a single session exceeds this, the player is awarded the qualifying amount.

Our Honest Verdict

If there’s one thing Hacksaw Gaming are particularly good at, it’s switching between themes without missing a beat. Before Superstar Sevens, we found ourselves chasing our tails in chaos on the reels of Hot Ross, and in the next breath, we’re drenched in lightning in Zeus Ze Zecond.

What makes this release interesting is how Hacksaw Gaming has returned to its old-school roots, where a retro presentation and classic fruit symbols take centre stage, proving that simple, nostalgic themes still have a place within the iGaming industry.

In terms of gameplay, Superstar Sevens makes a strong first impression thanks to its Cluster Pays mechanic, which swaps traditional pay lines for groups of matching symbols for more opportunities to create consecutive wins in a spin.

As expected, Hacksaw Gaming has transformed an existing feature so that it feels fresh and exciting. The Cascade Counter, which works alongside Lightning symbols, reveal Multipliers worth up to x100. These are applied to the Total Win Bar at the end of the spin, creating a clear sense of progression & anticipation as each spin unfolds.

Each Free Spins mode pushed each base game feature further, with each option stepping up in both volatility and potential. The standard 3-Scatter mode offers an increased chance of landing Lightning symbols.

The overall performance ramps up in Juicy Joltz, where a progressive Total Win Bar is revealed, unwrapping far greater potential. The trade-off, though, is that this mode requires 5 FS Scatters to trigger it, making it far less accessible. Unlike Smoking Dragon and Hot Ross, this hidden bonus cannot be purchased from the Bonus Buy tab, meaning patience & persistence are crucial here.

All this excitement is topped by a maximum win of 10,000x your bet, an RTP of 96.37%, and a medium volatility profile. Superstar Sevens strikes a solid balance between steady gameplay and the potential for explosive payouts.
