The Design

The design of Bier Haus Oktoberfest isn’t very different from the other slots from the series. The graphics are simple and stand out with a different background, which is set inside a bar. The previous game used a clearing with blossoming colourful flowers. The reels are made of a draught beer machine consisting of 6 reels and 6 rows. You can see the attractive blonde bartender Heidi on the left.

The reels are blue and on them can appear trumpets, pretzels, the 4 card suits, accordions. You can see Heidi, Hans and the other characters. You can also land whole beer mugs covering most or all of the reels during the special features. The images are vivid, clear and create a relaxing atmosphere. Bier Haus Oktoberfest is true to the original series and is in its spirit.

Bier Haus Oktoberfest Gameplay

There are 12 regular symbols in Bier Haus Oktoberfest. The low-paying ones are 4 card suits – spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. All 4 of them have the same value – 0.55 times your bet for 6 of a kind on a pay-line. Higher values have the pretzels, trumpets and hats, which pay 0.83 times your stake. The premiums include thermos, accordions and the beerhouse. These pay 1.11 times your stake. The most rewarding of all symbols is sir Hans, who appears 1×2 large and worths 1.66 times your stake.

The wild symbol is the beer mug, which substitutes for all other regular symbols. Its payout is 2.22 times your stake. The wild also appears 1×2 in size. Whole reels can turn wild during any base game spin, which is one of the extra features in the game. The latter and the larger size of wild symbols ensure more chances for wins and higher payouts.

Besides a wilds symbol, there are 3 different scatters. The girl at the bar – Heidi is the scatter and you can also see it on the left of the screen. There are green, purple and red Heidi scatter symbols. The red Heidi scatter can appear only on the 4th reel. The green and purple Heidi scatters can land on all reels. The 6th reel is reserved for Hedi, Hans or Wild Beer symbols only. Landing scatters is the route to activating the Free Spins as well as lucrative wins.
