5 Sevens Hold and Win review
5 Sevens Hold and Win is a fruit-machine slot in the old style: five reels, five fixed paylines and a short list of symbols. Yggdrasil released it in 2024 and adds a Hold & Win feature with in-game jackpots, including a Grand Jackpot. The studio calls it volatile, while our catalogue rates it Medium. What changes the cost of a session more than either label is which of the four RTP versions is running.
Five paylines and a short symbol list
The game has five reels and five fixed paylines, read from left to right. There are seven regular symbols, and each wins when three or more line up on a payline. The cherry is the exception: two or more cherries on a payline are enough to pay.
A Star symbol acts as the Scatter. It can land on every reel and pays at any position, so it does not need a payline. For anyone new to slots this is an easy layout to learn, with no ways, clusters or cascades to follow.
Hold & Win and the jackpots
The extra is the Hold & Win feature, which the studio places at the centre of the game. It is started by coins on the reels, and the studio's text gives six or more coins as the trigger. Inside the feature there is a chance to win the in-game jackpots, headed by a Grand Jackpot.
The studio gives no jackpot values and no description of how respins work in the round, so we cannot say more about their size or odds.
Volatility: two labels, one game
Yggdrasil describes the game as volatile, in its general wording about the Hold & Win feature. Our catalogue rates it Medium. We cannot reconcile the two, so we report both. Treat Medium as the catalogue's rating and volatile as the studio's own wording.
RTP versions and what they cost
The headline RTP is 96.1%, a house edge of 3.9%. Three lower versions exist: 94% (house edge 6%), 90.5% (9.5%) and 86% (14%). On $1,000 wagered the average loss is $39 on the top version and $140 on the lowest.
For 100 spins the average cost is $0.78 at $0.20, $3.90 at $1 and $19.50 at $5 on the headline version. On the 86% version the same sessions cost $2.80, $14 and $70. The max win is not published.
Similar Medium-volatility games
Six other Medium games from 2024 sit at 96.1% or 96%. Chilli Champions UltraHitz and Odin Lightning Blitz both list 96.1%. 3 Wonders New Year Carnival, Armageddon 10K WAYS, Book of Blarney GigaBlox and Giga Bass GigaBlox list 96%. With matching numbers the difference between them is in the mechanics.
Pros
- Simple layout: five fixed paylines and seven regular symbols
- Cherries pay from two on a payline
- Hold & Win bonus with in-game jackpots, including a Grand Jackpot
- Free official demo available
Cons
- Three lower RTP versions exist, down to 86% with a 14% house edge
- Max win and jackpot values are not published
- The studio calls the game volatile while our catalogue says Medium
Verdict
5 Sevens Hold and Win keeps the rules short: five paylines, a pay-anywhere Star Scatter and a Hold & Win feature with a Grand Jackpot. The headline RTP of 96.1% and Medium volatility make it a modest-cost choice on the best version, at $3.90 per 100 spins at $1, but lower versions cost much more. No max win is listed, so try the free demo and check the version before you play.
