1990s Super Sevens video slot game
This game had a small vulturing opportunity: a countdown meter would eventually trigger five free games. I put the explanation of the bonus in the video's description.
Has anyone actually seen this game "in the wild" and, of course, can remember it from 20+ years ago?
Yes, there were plenty of them around, I played them frequently and they were fairly lucrative, normally they were .25 denomination. Even better, there were very few people looking for them.Quote: smoothgrhI posted a video on my YouTube channel about a "new" slot game I recently obtained — it was on some Game King machines from the late 1990s.

I'm sure there are still some around.
Another game manufacturer had a similar game, I think it was called flaming hot sevens, or something like that.

Nice video! I have never seen it, but there has been at least one recent game that was not so different in concept. Conceptually, it was the same thing if there were conditions by which sevens could also be taken away.

I'm fascinated that you remember them! Based on what I see being sold, it seems like the computer chips that have this Super Sevens slot is rare.
That particular software set also has "Face Up Blackjack" for Game King machines, but can be played only after using a special computer chip that unlocks it. I have thus far failed in my quest to find it!

Thanks, Mission!
What do you mean by "could also be taken away"? Like eliminating the 7 icons from the screen instead of collecting them?

You're welcome.
You must accumulate Sevens to reach the bonus. There was a game where you had to accumulate something to reach Free Games, but if you did not gain any of those things on the most recent spin, then some of them (not all unless they were already low---and you wouldn't be playing it if they were low) would be subtracted.

Oh! I think I remember playing that kind of slot maybe 10 years ago: I seem to recall there was something like popcorn that you accumulated toward earning the bonus but if you didn't get the required symbols, you lost some popcorn. It made the game feel like it was "hot" or "cold".

That's a different one, but it sounds like the same concept.
I can't seem to remember where my keys, phone, and other various things are that I sat down 5 minutes, but I can recall many details and certain aspects(not all) of plays and machines from over 25 years ago, the when, where, how much any why as if it was yesterday. Obviously, some things and memories fade over time, I'm not foolish enough to believe everything is as clear and accurate as you believe it to be.Quote: smoothgrhI'm fascinated that you remember them!

FYI you accumulated the 7's when a line pay crossed through a seven on the screen. Things I'm not 100% sure about with these machines, what happens when a line crossed through 7's during the bonus round and if you could retrigger or they accumulated toward the net bonus round, I tend to think yes on both accounts.
These were never my main focus, it was just something I checked when I was passing through on my way to somthing else, or leaving the casino. They were enjoyable to find and play.
The Stardust had quite a few of them, many were located near the sportsbook bordering the main walkway, which seems to have been the most lucrative spot for me.

Axel, what was the first slot machine that you AP'd? Mine was Flush Attack and I had never heard of AP'ing machines at that time.
