TaDa Gaming Releases Crazy 777 2

TaDa Gaming has released Crazy 777 2, the bold sequel to its popular classic slot. With a max win of 10,000x and the addition of a dynamic special reel, this new release takes traditional single-line gameplay to a whole new level.
Staying true to its roots, Crazy 777 2 keeps the simplicity of a three-reel, one-payline slot but amplifies the excitement with modern mechanics. The standout feature is the Special Reel that sits to the right of the main reels, awarding either multipliers or triggering the Respin Feature for added win potential.
When the Respin Feature activates, the main reels lock while the Special Reel spins independently. Each multiplier symbol that lands increases the total multiplier—available in 1X, 2X, 3X, 5X and 10X—and keeps stacking until the reel lands on a blank. The final multiplier is then applied to the locked winning combination, unlocking explosive payout possibilities.
With a classic paytable highlighted by Lucky 7s and Bars, Crazy 777 2 merges nostalgia with innovation. Combined with multipliers up to 10x per spin and the potential to climb all the way to 10,000x, the game ensures every spin is packed with anticipation.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Crazy 777 2 is a tribute to classic slots, but with the twist of our signature bonus mechanics. The addition of the Special Reel transforms a traditional one-line slot into a high-energy experience, appealing to both retro fans and modern players who love multipliers and bonus action.”
