Blazin' Hot 7s Bigger Bonus Slot by Light & Wonder

Two mechanics make this sequel worth the second look, and they only show up once the BONUS scatters land. First, a GOLIATH 3x3 mega-symbol is guaranteed on every single free spin - it can land as any paying symbol on the strips except Wild or BONUS, and the 3x3 footprint can drift partially out of view if it lands on the edge of the grid. Second, a minimum-win floor is active for the entire round: every free spin must pay at least your stake back, and here's the clever bit, if any single reel win during the bonus exceeds that floor, the floor permanently upgrades to that new figure for all remaining spins. Hit a 5x reel win on spin two and the rest of the round can't pay less than 5x. That escalating ratchet is what separates Bigger Bonus from the original Big Bonus.

Trigger logic is plain. Three, four or five BONUS disco-balls anywhere in view award 8, 10 or 12 free spins respectively, no retrigger inside the round. The Wild is a flaming red 7 that only lands on reels 2 through 5, never reel 1, which means a Wild-only payline starting from the leftmost reel just isn't on the table - you always need a real symbol to anchor the combo. Base game itself is restrained on purpose. Top symbol is the red 777 paying 25x stake for five-of-a-kind, and the rest of the ladder is fruit, BAR tiles and gold stars in classic Vegas order. The math is engineered so the GOLIATH-driven free spins carry the volatility, not the line pays.

The Light & Wonder Buy Pass option sits on the left rail of the base game. Pricing is dynamic at runtime rather than a fixed multiplier, which is unusual - changing the Buy Pass tier also rescales your base-game stake, and the displayed RTP recalculates with it. UK Arcade compliance work, basically. There's also a post-win Gamble offering three exits: gamble for cash, gamble for free spins, or collect what you have.

Presentation is pure neon-cabinet Vegas. Gold metal reel frame against a brilliant red back-wall, white spotlight rays beaming down from above the cabinet, a glowing pink-and-purple grid floor catching the bottom of the screen, and gold coins spilling out from under the reels in every feature splash. The logo burns in flame-red 7s lettering with a cyan ribbon underneath. It's loud, it's deliberately retail-cabinet, and once the BONUS discs lock in place the whole stage gets brighter.
