If you enjoy German festivals, then Octobeer Fortunes from Pragmatic Play is the game for you! An online slot that's based on Oktoberfest, the infamous German beer festival, it's the next best thing than attending in person. And not only can you pay tribute to the joy of beer, you could also win a possible cash prize with up to a potential x4500 available to win.
Oktoberfest is one of the oldest and best-known beer festivals in the world, with people travelling from many countries to celebrate. It's perhaps not a surprise to discover that there are plenty of online slots dedicated to the festival, too, with titles such as Stein Haus, Oktoberfest and Heidi at the Oktoberfest.
In Octobeer Fortunes, the gameplay centres on a 5x3 grid which includes 20 fixed paylines. The reels can be spun for just 0.20, with the stake increasing to a maximum of 100.00 total. Volatility is cranked up high, so be careful while you're waiting for the larger possible wins to land!
There’s only one way to enjoy German beer - and that’s in a beer keller! Pragmatic Play set the action in an authentic German bar, complete with wood panelling and a bar in the backdrop. Surrounded by glasses, kegs and bottles, you’ll need an iron will to stop yourself reaching for a beer in real life!
The playing card royals are included as the low pays, a familiar sight for regular players. The high pays are all items that you might find at Oktoberfest, with accordions, steins, pretzels, traditional hats and kegs.
The ever-present pig-tailed barmaid puts in an appearance on the reels as the wild, standing in for any of the regular symbols to make more matches.
In addition to the regular payouts, there are some extra features which can help to bump up the prize total.
Money symbols are one of the special symbols that the wild can't replace. These land carrying a value of anything from x0.5 to x50, but if they're present at the same time as the barmaid wild, she will collect the cash and add it to your prize total.
Landing five or more money symbols simultaneously will unlock the bonus round, awarding nine free spins. Before the free spins round begins, all of the money symbols currently on the board will be collected and the total added to a meter located next to the reels. As the bonus round starts, every time more money symbols land, they will also be added to the meter. The value of the meter will be paid out whenever a wild lands. Even better, the accumulated total doesn't reduce when it's paid out, so you can continue to collect more money symbols and receive even higher payouts.
The theme of Octobeer Fortunes is fun because after all, who doesn't enjoy a cheerful beer festival?! Pragmatic Play has kept the gameplay relatively simple, so it's not a slot that's overloaded with features. However, the money symbols offer an easy way to increase winnings with the potential to collect a really big payout if you're in luck!
