Enjoy a day at the races with one of the sport's favorite jockeys, courtesy of Frankie Dettori's Magic Seven. It may not have a progressive treat in its nosebag but this five-reel, 25-payline runner inspired by the cheery Italian offers a generous fixed jackpot as well as a couple of decent bonus rounds. We’re under the starter’s orders!

On an almost unbelievable day back in September 1996, Frankie Dettori did the unthinkable and rode all seven winners on the race card at Ascot. His incredible feat caused horse racing fans to cry with jubilation – and bookies to just cry. This online slots game powered by Playtech celebrates Dettori's amazing feat while attempting to give players a taste of the equine-induced euphoria the sport of kings is so famed for.

In addition to letting you decide how many lines you want in play (from one to all 25), the Frankie Dettori's Magic Seven slot machine allows you to choose your coin size and select your bet amount per line (from one to ten coins). Thus, your final bet will actually be all three of these variables multiplied together. In mathematical terms, this means you can play from as little as 25c a spin to as much as $125 a spin. Payouts start from ten times and increase all the way up to a whip-cracking jackpot of 7,777 times.

The Frankie Dettori's Magic Seven slot features a number of horsey symbols (a winner's cup, a finishing post, a horseshoe, etc) as well as the standard face cards. The game’s wild is an image of Dettori himself, which can stand in for any other icon (apart from the scatter and bonus) to create a winning combo. Remember, you’ll net a jackpot win of 7,777 times your bet if you manage to line up five Frankies in a row! The game logo is the scatter, while the bonus emblem is a picture of a racetrack. Two or more scatters anywhere in view result in payouts at the following rates:

• Two scatters = 1 x total bet
• Three scatters = 5 x total bet
• Four scatters = 25 x total bet
• Five scatters = 250 x total bet

Land three or more scatters and you’ll trigger the Free Games Race. This entails being taken to a new screen showing three horses about to race. Choose one of the horses then watch (and cheer) as it speeds around the track competing with the other two. If your chosen neddy romps home first then you’ll win 35 free spins. Second will get you 15, while third awards ten. It’s worth noting the free games proffer more wilds and scatters, thereby encouraging greater returns. The second bonus round is activated when the Racetrack symbols pop up on the first and fifth reels. When this occurs you enter the Magic Seven Bonus, another race-themed feature where you select portions of track one at a time to reveal instant cash prizes and multiplier boosts while watching Frankie Dettori's historic wins. This round ends when you display the Collect icon.

Our Verdict

Whilst Frankie Dettori's Magic Seven is unlikely to win any prizes in the presentation stakes, there’s no denying its bonus features provide plenty of excitement and rewards. Well worth a try.
