I intended on flipping this game but the strategy alone has earned it a spot in my lineup of almost 50 pins. Its a target shooters game, its critical that you hit the slot reel targets you aim for. Lining up 3 in a row lights an award that can be a free ball or special. Hitting both the drops collect what ever award is lit, depending on which reels are lined up in a row. The drops and reel targets are pretty easy to hit but those rebound shots can hit the reel targets at the wrong time and be frustrating. I ignore the lit spinner, its only worth 100 and you risk goin over a rollover up top and changing the score reels. I like to stay in control as much as possible so I shoot for the reel targets till i line a set up, and then collect the award which can be a free ball or up to 30,000 points. Thats waaay better than a 100 point spinner.

I do t know why i like this game, the artwork is just ok. Backglass is fair. Machine plays well. Artwork is perfectly dated for year of production.

Seems to be a lot of these around.

The cabinet design is excellent, the odd apron dosent fit the color scheme

This game is interesting as it bridged the tech between EM and SS for Williams.

The Pros:
A nice BG by Christian Marche. Solid geometry on the PF means that the ball is going to start moving from side to side ASAP. Gotta stay on your toes!

The Cons:
This game really doesn't have much to shoot for other than light the spinner and tear it up. And even then, that is going to be a long game to make real points with. You can try to make points from the center reeled bank, but they are all death shots.

The Takeaway:
Not a great game, but not horrible either. Could be a decent tourney deck featuring "Chopping wood" strategies.

Update:
The two single drop targets will make a difference in your scores. Double Bonus in particular is the go-to feature for big scores. This combined with the angles of the mid to lower playfield will guide will make you carefully consider these shots. As soon as you make or miss one of these drops, the ball starts to move side to side and those outlanes are hungry! When properly adjusted and tuned, this game is a defensive player's delight. While the upper playfield may seem bare, it's intent is to get the ball into the DC pops and moving dangerously with speed down the playfield. The middle targets are tempting.... just, don't. And while light/rip the spinner may feel great, 30k for 2 drops is more score. A better game than I thought it would be. I just had to find a nice one to play. Game must be tuned to play properly and if you can find an EM copy... you are in posession of a rare version of this game!

Lucky Seven is a very basic and very early solid state game. The rules are very EM-esque. Which isn't strange, because there's also an EM version of the game. For sound, it relies on 4 good ole chimes.

The game has a classy and classic look to it. Gameplay-wise, there isn't much. Very basic fun with very little rules to worry about. The reels are a very nice touch though, that work well with the theme.
