The Route 777 game can be found at casinos offering Elk Studios software. Elk Studios are a small but quickly growing casino software developer primarily focusing on the mobile market. At the present time they only offer slots games. Players should be aware that this software provider includes ‘betting strategies’ as an automated feature. These should be avoided. They offer no mathematical gain to the player and increase the risk of large losses in comparison to your bankroll. As a standard Elk Studios do publish the RTP/House Edge information for their slots games within their game paytable. As such we can say that the House Edge of Route 777 is 3.7%.
Route 777 is made up of 3 reels, each one 3 symbols high. There are 17 connecting pay lines, playing from left to right only.
Special Symbols
Wild – The game has no Wild symbols.
Scatter – The “Skull” symbols are Scatters.
Bonus Features
Free Spins – Landing 3 of the “Skull” Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels will trigger the game’s free spin bonus. You will be given 5 free spins and will have the chance to gain re-spins and enter the game’s other bonus. To trigger between 5 and 15 re-spins you need to land 2 “Skull” symbols during your free spins.
Route 777 Bonus Wheel – To trigger this bonus feature you need to land 3 “Skull” symbols during the game’s free spin feature. When you begin this feature the free spins continue until you either reveal a “Stop” sign or have collected 3 identical “777” symbols. The “Royal 777” symbol also becomes active and is the most valuable in the game, with 3 of them in a single spin winning you 100,000 coins.
Overtake Re-Spins – You trigger this feature by landing 2 identical symbols in the first two reels. When this happens you will gain 5 re-spins on the 3rd reel, whilst the first 2 reels lock in place and move one space down together with each re-spin.
Conclusion
“Route 777” is another stunning looking offering from Elk Studios. The game might be a simple 3 reel number, but no expense has been spared to bring to life the Great American Road Trip. You’re deep in America’s South, with nothing but the odd cactus and the next gas station for company. Having no Wild symbol is a disappointment but the bonus features do almost make up for it. However, despite the good news, the “Advanced Betting Strategies” bring this game crashing down. The reality is that if you increase your bet, you’re more likely to lose money than you are to make any. This is poor practice, that drags everything positive about the game down. We would be highly critical of any website offering bogus betting strategies so a game developer doing this is even more problematic for us. If these “Advanced Betting Strategies” were not in place we’d have little to criticise here, but the inclusion of this gives us no other choice.
