Triple Red Hot 777 Pokie
It may have a bit of a long-winded title, but Triple Red Hot 777, from IGT, has so many features packed into its 3 reels that the long name is quite understandable. Wild multipliers, a free spins round and some extra multiplier symbols thrown in for good measure, makes this an action-packed game that fans of 3 reel pokies will appreciate, although it may still prove to be a little too straightforward for those who like 5-reel themed games.
Blue flames rise up from behind the main part of the game, and the title section is embellished with red and orange fire to add to the effect. A simple frame to the reels features the payline indicators, and the 5 lines run horizontally across the top, centre and bottom of them, with the diagonals completing the tally.
There’s a minimum bet of 0.25, a maximum of 50.00 and several options in between, with players winning multiples of the line bet whenever a symbols stops across a payline on all 3 reels. Although it’s possible to activate any number of lines, playing with any less than all 5 means that not all winning combinations that appear will count, so most people opt to play them all and adjust their bets up or down to suit their own budgets.
Playing Triple Red Hot 777
There’s 7’s all over the place in this pokie, in blue, white, red, double-red and triple-red versions. The smallest wins come from landing any mix of the blue and white 7’s across a payline, which will see 5x the line bet returned, while a line of the white 7’s will be worth 20x and the blue pays out 25x.
Red 7’s are surrounded by the Red Hot logo, which is of course on fire, so there’s no missing these symbols when they turn up, and as the wins start with 40x the line bet for landing 3 of the single-red, players will be feeling the heat as they line up these combinations.
The double-red pays out 80x and if a full line of the triple-red symbol stops across the reels, then the win will be equal to 150x the amount staked per line. Triple-reds are even worth a small prize when just 1 or 2 appear, but there’s more to this game than meets the eye, as wilds and bonus symbols will each help players to bank more wins.

Bonus Features
The Triple Red Hot 3x Wild symbol does exactly what the name suggests, as it’s a wild card which can act as any other to help complete winning lines, plus it will triple the amount of any subsequent win when it does so. As an example, landing the white 7 symbol on 2 reels and the Triple Red Hot 3x Wild on the remaining reel across a payline will result in a payout of 3 x 7, or 21x the line bet.It gets better though, as landing 2 wilds and another symbol will multiply the win by 9x, or up to 63x the line bet in the same example. Anyone who manages a full line of wilds is in for a wild celebration, as the game jackpot of 20,000x the line bet is theirs.
A bonus symbol can turn up in any 3 positions to pay a small win of 1x the total bet, but more importantly, it will trigger 7 free spins. With more bonuses on the reels, it can be fairly easy to land 3 more in a single spin and have a further 7 free rounds added on to the end of the current games, and in theory, this can be repeated 100 times, for a total of 700 extra games.
Spitfire multipliers are also in effect throughout the free spins and these are simply random 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x or 7x symbols which multiply any win by the given amount. A Spitfire multiplier will be added to each free spin, so players should be fairly sure that they will get a few nice payouts, even though they might only receive 7 free games.
The Verdict
Although 3-reel games have been around for many decades, some of them are becoming more sophisticated and Triple Red Hot 777 is a good example of what looks like a standard pokie, but is actually a lot more than that.
Having wild multipliers and free spins isn’t ground-breaking, but it certainly lifts this game above the average, particularly for those players who are more used to 5-reel games. The extras may put off players who like to simply spin the reels and line up symbols, but for the majority, this will be seen as a fun game that has some decent winning potential.
