Lucky 7 is a live dealer game developed by Betgames.Tv. Punters can bet on a wide range of betting options, which makes it more entertaining than the traditional lotto. Bettors can wager on specific numbers, the sum of numbers or odd/even outcomes.
It is the third and final live lottery game offered in South Africa, along with Lucky 5 and Lucky 6.
How to play BetGames Lucky 7
Lucky 7 is a lottery styled game where seven lucky balls are drawn from a pool of 42. A sorting machine is used to ensure that results are fair at all times. The balls are colour coded in yellow and black.
To start betting, you will need to choose a betting option from the six betting categories.
Once you have done that, confirm your selection and it will be added to your betting slip.
There are 78 different betting options with four minutes between rounds. You can win up to 2000 times your stake.

Betgames Lucky 7 Results
You can find details of the past five draws in the Lucky 7 lobby page. During a live draw, the information will be temporarily unavailable to view. While the draw info can help you build a strategy, the data is unusable to due to the random nature of the game.
Once you add a betting event to your slip, there are several ways to see if you had a winning bet.
First, you can wait in the room for a draw to start. You will then be able to see first hand the drawn balls. It's not the most efficient way to check your results as each draw starts four minutes apart.
You can also choose to leave the room entirely and let the draw take place. The results of the draw will automatically be updated on your slip alongside any profit or losses you make. You can also optionally switch back to the room just before a draw starts.

Betgames Lucky 7 Strategy
The best Lucky 7 strategy is to mix low paying bets (with a high chance of success) with riskier, more profitable bets. This way you get the best of both worlds; regular winning chances - and a shot at a big payout.
Betting on specific numbers is by far the most lucrative option available - but you also have the minimal chance of success.
The colour options are a decent balance between winnability and payout potential.
If you want a short at the 2,000x payout, then we recommend betting on this option passively. The chance for payout is so low that it is counter-intuitive to focus on it.
