Okey-dokey, I've now shared the summary, intro, graphics, music, and sound effects with you. Next, I'll discuss the key game features.
Here at OLBG we create slot game reviews that include current info about essential features such as the theme, paylines, reels, bet range, and bonuses. I’ll finish off the review by talking about my play experience, first impressions and expert verdict.
Theme – Fruits
Fruit symbols are some of the earliest symbols used on slot machines. So, you'll probably be familiar with the view of mouthwatering cherries, grapes, and strawberries. The background image shows a retro-green bank vault brimming with cash and coins.
The grid is where the fruits come into play, and you’ll see fruits galore! You'll certainly get your 7 a day with this game. In order from the highest value first, we start with lucky number 7, a golden bell, and a watermelon. Up next is a bunch of grapes, a plum, an orange, a lemon, a strawberry and 2 juicy cherries.
Reels
Return to Player is most commonly referred to as RTP, which you've probably seen on slots sites. It's a way of forecasting theoretically what percentage of a players' stakes will be returned to them over the long term. The higher the number, the better, so ideally, we're looking at a rate of 96% or more. 7 Gold Fruits is about average at 96%.
This RTP figure is used as a default value by the slot studio 4ThePlayer, so if you shop around, you’ll discover several rates. But hey, to save you time, we’ve uncovered a few at some of the top UK online casinos and added them to the table below.
It's worth mentioning that RTP is just one consideration when deciding which site to play at. Other factors include payment options, game library, customer support, and welcome bonuses and deals. Our casino reviews consider this information and much, much more, so take a look.

Stake Range
The 7 Gold Fruits game has a decent bet range which starts at £0.10 and goes up to £100.
Max Win
The max win amount for the 7 Gold Fruits slot game is 12,000x your stake.
Wild Shape
This game's Wild symbol is mixed with a Scatter, so look out for the Scatter Wild, depicted by the golden door to the vault. As a Wild, it substitutes for all symbols. If you land 3 or more of these, it triggers the bonus round options so it's a hard-working symbol.
Free Spins
When you land 3 or more Scatter Wilds, you have the choice of two bonus rounds. Firstly, there is a Free Spins bonus round, where you receive 10 free spins. A random fruit symbol is selected as the Gold Fruit Bomb. If you land 3 or more Gold Fruit Bombs, they will each explode to form a Gold Fruit Stack. After any line wins are awarded, you win all of the cash prizes in view.
Your second choice for the bonus round is Respins which you can see in the image above. Here, Gold Fruit symbols with cash prizes can lock in any open symbol position. Every locked Gold Fruit symbol resets to 3 respins. All cash prizes are awarded at the end. If a win is created, any cash prizes along the winning line are multiplied by 2x-5x the stake. If you fill all of the symbol positions, you’re guaranteed a ‘Big 7' prize.
Play Experience & First Impressions
Taking your pick with the bonus rounds was an enjoyable extra dimension to the slot. It would be good to see more of these types of bonuses, you can see the bonus options in the screenshot below. With the Free Spins bonus round, it was great to include the Gold Fruit Bombs and Gold Fruit Stacks, as these are the game's headliners. The multipliers in the Respins option was also a highlight as was the possibility of winning one of the Big 7 Prizes.
Here is a bit more info about the Big 7 Prizes. They actually consist of 4 prizes - the 7 element of the feature name is about the 7 symbol you need to trigger to land the prizes. I initually thought there were 7 prizes! The Ultra prize awards 5,000x your stake, the Mega prize awards 1,000x, the Super awards you 250x and the Big awards you 100x your stake. These prizes appear on the 7 symbols which land on reel 5. There are 3 ways you can win the Big 7 Prizes. Number one is by creating a line win with the other 7 symbols in the base game. Number 2 is by a line win during the Free Spins bonus round. And number three is by locking them in place during the Respins bonus round.
Another feature to tell you about is the Gold Cash Stacks, which was mentioned in the Free Spins bonus round. Any fruit symbol can appear as Gold Fruit Stacks in the base game. Gold Fruit Stacks land with cash prizes attached to them and create wins with normal fruit symbols. Any Gold Fruit Stacks that are included in line wins, will award you all of the cash prizes in that stack.
And keep an eye out for the Cash Bomb Feature, where a bomb explodes on the reels. It can spin on any base game spin. Each Cash Bomb that lands will create a random Gold Fruit Stack, so watch out for those bombs!
