Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven is a Playtech slot celebrating the career of an Italian jockey who made horse racing history by riding all seven winners on the same day on Ascot in 1996.

Even CasinoWizard, believe it or not, backed Frankie on some of those magical wins on that beautiful, unforgettable day. Actually, it was mainly a great day for the punters, not so much for the bookmakers. Some bookies even went bankrupt after the never-before-seen spectacle, having to pay out tens of thousands of pounds.

The game has two bonus features and will show you videos of Frankie’s legendary wins!

Introduction, including RTP and variance

This is a 3×5 slot with 25 paylines, with outdated graphics that look as if the slot was released in 1996, though it was released in 2010. It’s a classic slot game that doesn’t want to go into the video slot territory, as it’s targeting the horse racing audience which likes this kind of traditional feel.

The theoretical return to player (RTP) is 95.99%, pretty good for a slot game of this type.

The variance is medium, perhaps a bit high, as the base game doesn’t pay much or pay often, and you need the two bonus features to get some decent wins. The base game will eat up your bankroll rather quickly.

Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven gameplay and paytable

The game has five card symbols which don’t pay much, then there are three symbols from the race track that are medium-paying symbols, and finally, you’ll see Frankie Dettori on three symbols.

There’s the Wild which is the highest-paying symbol in the game, and two more normal symbols which you’ll want to see on your reels as often as possible, as they pay well. The paytable is unbalanced; the low symbols are practically worthless while the best symbols in the game pay well and will produce big wins.

Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven bonus features

There are two bonus games in Frankie Dettori’s. The first one is the Magic Seven Bonus, which gets triggered whenever you land a Bonus Scatter on reels 1 and 5. You’ll see a track with 20 sections, and you’ll pick a section to get cash prizes.

Some areas contain trophies, and when picking a cup, a video of one of Frankie’s seven wins is played, and the win multiplier increases.

The game ends when you pick Collect. This board game bonus is the better and more rewarding of the two bonus features.

The other bonus feature is the Free Games Race, and it gets triggered when you land three or more Scatters on your reels. You’ll see three horses, and you’ll pick one. The first place wins 35 free games, the second place wins 15 free games, and the third place wins 10 free games.

More Wild and Scatter symbols are added to the reel strips during the free games, so your chance of getting some more wins is increased, but still the game isn’t very rewarding.

CasinoWizard’s verdict: 3 out of 5 stars

Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven is a slot game with its place in history, just like Frankie’s legendary achievement on that September 1996 day in Ascot.

The game is a classic slot with two exciting bonus features you’ll want to play over and over again, and it’s a perfect slot game for any horse racing fan.

If you like horse racing slots, Scudamore’s Super Stakes from Netent is another excellent choice.
