Sevens High Ultra

Sevens High Ultra: overview

Sevens High Ultra sees Quickspin revisit and remaster its 2015 original, Sevens High, bringing back the glitzy Vegas-style fruit-slot formula and its signature respin feature while layering in a brand-new Ultra mode for players chasing bigger risk and reward. The soundtrack is back too, drifting from ambient tones through house rhythms and into pounding beats as win counters climb.

Theme and how it plays

Visually, Sevens High Ultra keeps the glossy, high-shine Vegas aesthetic that made the original stand out, built across a 5-reel layout. The headline addition is the Ultra toggle, which can be switched on or off at any point during base game play without affecting the stake. Flip it on and the game becomes noticeably more volatile, with more scatters appearing on the reels, bigger symbol values, and a higher overall ceiling on winning potential. The Wild Meter carries over from the original too, powering consecutive winning respins that can convert premium symbols into wilds - a mechanic that fans of Quickspin's Big Bad Wolf will find familiar.

RTP and what it means

In Ultra mode, the return to player sits at 96.06% (96.1%), a solid and competitive figure for a high-volatility slot with this much feature depth. Switching back to Classic mode changes both the volatility and the return slightly, so it's worth checking which mode you're in via the paytable before settling on a session length.

Volatility and stakes

Ultra mode is rated high volatility (5 out of 5), a noticeable step up from the original's medium rating, reflecting the bigger symbol values and increased scatter frequency that come with switching it on. Betting runs from 25p/c up to £/€100 per spin. Wins are formed by landing at least three matching symbols adjacent to each other on a payline, working up from fruit symbols at the low end through bells and coloured sevens, with wild-converted sevens sitting at the very top of the pay table.

Max win potential

The maximum win in Ultra mode comes in at 6,768x the stake, a strong ceiling that rewards the extra volatility players take on by switching the mode on, particularly during extended Wild Meter respin runs.

Verdict

Sevens High Ultra is a well-judged remaster, keeping everything that made the original enjoyable while giving players a genuine choice over how much risk they want to take on via the Ultra toggle. Worth testing both modes through the free demo at johnessyslots to find the pacing that suits you before playing with real stakes.
