In the world of slot games, the ambition of most developers is usually to evolve the concept in as many ways as possible, whether this is with extra reels, or enhanced graphics and animations.It is, therefore, somewhat refreshing to find Route 777, a new game from Elk Studios that has three-reels and classic gameplay, while being modernised through aspects of the artwork.Elk have become known for taking risks and doing something different, and Route 777 is further proof of how good the developer is at that!
About the slot
Even though this slot only has three-reels, it manages to have seventeen fixed paylines, meaning there’s a lot of ways to pick up wins in the base game.The background is stunning, with a desert road and an abandoned gas pump bringing the subject to life, while above the reels you’ll find pixelated images of abandoned cars to continue the concept, while also adding a touch of the retro to the slot.Symbols on the reels are traditional too, with fruit and various colours of 7 symbols adorning the reels.Route 777 is a slot that combines the modern and the old school beautifully, and is likely to appeal to a wide range of players.
Gameplay
The Overtake Respins feature is good fun, if the first two reels are identical after a spin, you will receive five free respins with those reels moving down a place with each spin, which can create some nice wins.Then there’s the Skull Bonus feature, land three helmeted skulls for five free spins, land two during the feature and you’ll get more spins, land three and you’ll trigger the Fortune Wheel which can offer some extra wins too.This slot may feel old fashioned, but with exciting gameplay and features, it fits perfectly into the modern online casino landscape.
