BARs & 7s slot
BARs & 7s is a retro slot from Inspired Gaming with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines, built on three old-school symbols: the bar, the 7 and the X. Its bonus is spelled out on the reels. When the letters B, O, N, U and S are all in view, the game awards one of two features: free spins counted out on a wheel, or the Pots Bonus, which pays one of three pots.

Rules, features and payout figures are set by the studio and can differ between operators and game versions, so check the game’s information panel before you play.

A win needs 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on a win line across adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel, except for Bonus symbols. Game and artwork © Inspired Gaming.
The Winning Lines page in our lobby draws the 10 win lines on the 5-reel, 3-row grid and says all wins pay left to right across adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel, with wins on different lines added together. Game and artwork © Inspired Gaming.
How BARs & 7s plays
Only three symbols pay in BARs & 7s, all of them classic fruit machine icons: the bar, the 7 and the X. Line wins come from those three across the 10 paylines. A joker is the wild and fills in for any of them, but it cannot stand in for a letter.
BARs & 7s in our lobby on 12 November 2026, at £1 a spin: 5 reels and 3 rows showing bars, 7s and an X, with line numbers 1 to 10 down both sides of the reels. A small panel at the left edge carries a timer and a £ figure, £0.00 here before any spin. UK rules require online slots to show time played and net position. Game and artwork © Inspired Gaming.
The letters are what open the bonus. B, O, N, U and S land on the reels during ordinary spins, and a feature is awarded only when all five are in view on the same spin. Until that happens, every spin is settled by line wins alone.
The B-O-N-U-S letters
The full word in view during the base game is the only way into either feature, and it leads to one of two places: the free spins wheel or the Pots Bonus, which opens on a separate screen. The player does not choose between them; the game settles it as soon as the word is complete. The same five letters can land again in the free spins, where they award more spins rather than a choice of feature.
The Bonus page in our lobby: B, O, N, U and S in view award Free Spins or a Pots Bonus in the base game, and additional free spins during Free Spins. If Free Spins are awarded, the player picks one of the letters, which turn into ‘Pick Me’ symbols, to set 1, 2 or 3 spins of the Free Spins wheel. Game and artwork © Inspired Gaming.
Free spins and the wheel
If free spins are awarded, the five letters turn into Pick Me symbols, and the one picked sets how many times the free spins wheel turns: once, twice or three times. Each turn awards up to 30 free spins, and the results are added together. For example, two wheel spins that stop on 10 and 20 give 30 free spins. During the round a x2 multiplier can come into play. Completing B-O-N-U-S again inside the round brings back the Pick Me symbols and more turns of the wheel, so the round can be extended.
The Pots Bonus
The Pots Bonus replaces the reels with three wheels, each marked with Minor, Major and Grand segments. After choosing a wheel, the player spins it, and wherever the pointer lands fills a space on the grid for that pot. The spinning carries on until one of the three grids is full, and the pot belonging to that grid is paid. Only one pot is won per bonus.
BARs & 7s compared with Gold Cherry and Burn 7s Burn
Gold Cherry, also from Inspired Gaming, uses the same 5x3 grid and 10 paylines, but its twist is a wheel above the reels that turns dark cherries into golden cherry wilds when it lands on gold, and three bonus symbols give 10 free spins. Burn 7s Burn keeps the 7s theme on a bigger 5x4 grid with 40 lines; in its free spins, a win that mixes different 7s is paid as the highest 7 in it.
| Game | Grid and lines | How the bonus starts | Main feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| BARs & 7s | 5x3, 10 lines | B-O-N-U-S in view | Free spins wheel or Pots Bonus |
| Gold Cherry | 5x3, 10 lines | 3 bonus symbols | Cherry wheel and 10 free spins |
| Burn 7s Burn | 5x4, 40 lines | 3 bonus symbols | Free spins with 7s upgrades |

Frequently asked questions
Which letter decides the BARs & 7s bonus?
The S. When it completes the word, it changes into either a Free Spins symbol or a Pot symbol, which tells you straight away which feature is coming. The B, O, N and U have no say in the choice; they only need to be in view at the same time.
Is the x2 multiplier active on every BARs & 7s free spin?
No. Each free spin carries a chance that the x2 switches on, and only the spins where it does have their wins doubled. A round can therefore mix doubled and ordinary spins, and how many of each you get is down to chance, not to how the round started.
Do the BARs & 7s letters have to land on a payline?
No. The rules only ask for B, O, N, U and S to be in view on the same spin, so they can sit on any row and do not need to line up on one of the 10 paylines. That is different from the bar, 7 and X, which pay only when they form a line win.
