7 Sins — RTP, volatility and max win

7 Sins by Play'n GO turns the seven deadly sins into a dark cabaret and burlesque show, with demons, mystic violet tones and card symbols. Wins pay across ways rather than fixed lines, and the free spins bring a multiplier into play.

The 5×3 grid carries 243 ways, so any symbol run across neighbouring reels counts, whichever row it lands on. The bet range opens at €0.10 and closes at €100, wide enough for small test rounds and for high stakes alike. 7 Sins was released on November 24, 2016, which makes it one of the older titles in the Play'n GO catalogue. The sin characters are the premium symbols, while card symbols fill the low end of the paytable.

Matching symbols have to appear on consecutive reels, beginning with the leftmost, before anything pays. Rows do not matter: with 243 ways, a symbol on reel one connects with every matching symbol on reel two, whether in the upper, middle or lower row. Several matching symbols on one reel multiply the number of paying ways. The stake of €0.10 to €100 covers all ways together.

The wild stands in for the sin characters and card symbols, closing ways that are missing a symbol on a middle reel. Scatters count regardless of ways, and enough of them open the free spins.

During free spins a multiplier boosts the wins of the round. That is where 7 Sins gets its punch: the base game pays mostly small amounts across many ways, and the big hits come from free spins combined with the multiplier.

Since the multiplier in the free spins decides how big a win in 7 Sins gets, other inferno slots with multipliers make a natural yardstick.

RTP 94.23%, lower than 85% of the 400 Inferno slots. Background: how RTP works on a slot. Volatility High, like 66 of the 114 slots in the Demon theme. Background: what slot volatility means. Max win 1,580× (€158,000 at the highest stake). Background: what max win means on a slot.

At 94.23%, the return of 7 Sins trails most inferno slots, and the max win follows suit: only around 22% of slots are capped lower. The high volatility fits this profile, since most of the payout potential sits in the free spins rather than in the base game ways.

Not every casino runs 7 Sins on the same return setting, so a quick look at the RTP of inferno slots before playing helps.
