Theme

This slot may have a minimalist play structure, but the visual design is overflowing with vivacity. The three reels are set in a kind of steampunk factory, with exposed iron columns, gears turning, hot metal glowing, and electric sparks flying. There are only two gaming symbols, the titular bar and 7s symbols that have been part of slot gaming since the days the analog one-armed bandit machines that first popularized the genre.

Betting Options, Functions, and Features

If attention to detail is important in most modern slots, this virtue is absolutely essential in a simpler-structured game such as this one. There are 8 fixed paylines, active in both directions (as well as from top-to-bottom and back again!). Coin value can be set from 0.01– 1.00 for a total per-spin bet adjustable from 0.10 – 10.00 times the betting currency. All bets can also be expressed in coins, if players prefer. Autoplay is available for up to 1000 spins at a time, with optional limits for wins or losses above a certain size. Quick spin is also an option for players who prefer a quicker tempo. In classic Wazdan fashion, players can select low, standard, or high volatility for their gaming experience, each resulting in a slightly different ratio of win regularity and size. Game rules, paytable information, and player settings are available on separate screens. The theoretical RTP is very strong at 96.43%.

The goal of this game is much simpler than in most slots: simply land three matching symbols on any of the game’s eight paylines. Triggering one payline recoups a player’s initial bet; triggering more than one yields a profit. The top payout is 40 times the bet size, awarded when all paylines are triggered. There are no wild symbols, free spins, or bonuses of any kind. Since some of the reel positions are empty, there are three possible outcomes for each position on the reels. In this one corner of life, winning really is that easy.
