sorry i'm not familiar with that game type. I've never seen it, but I did find an article the wizard wrote on it

Wizard of Odds 678 and 777 bonuses

That should get it close.

3:2 or even 6:5 on 777 sounds extremely unusual; the more common arrangement is a flat bonus payoff.
May the cards fall in your favor.

For 6 decks the answer is 312C3/24C3 * 13/7 = 1 in 4600 or +0.02%... paying 3/2 means +0.03%

The last factor is approximate... you will ALWAYS split 7's when the Dealer shows 2 thru 7. The bonus is not worth altering basic strategy.
When the Dealer shows 8 thru Ace, hit. Again this is Basic strategy. There are 7 ranks of the 13 in which you try for the bonus, thus the 13/7 factor.

My math is failing me again, but shouldn't that be 7/13 instead of 13/7?

The formula is set up as "odds" or 1 in X, so 13/7 is roughly correct 1 in 4600.
When expressed as "occurance" the formula would be 24C3/312C3 * 7/13 or 0.00021739
