Bier Fest Slots
Guten tag! Welcome to Germany. Why don’t you stop by the park and sample a stein or two of the lovely lager that is being sold from the beer cart. While you’re here, why not have a spin or two on Bier Fest as well; the fantastic German-inspired slot game from Genesis Gaming.
Bier Fest features the standard set-up – five reels, three rows, 25 paylines paying from left to right – but the game itself is anything but ordinary. Spin the reels and you’ll witness all 15 of the beer barrels in the cart replaced by new ones; ensuring you get only the freshest drink (and symbols) available.
The tranquil soundtrack of the great outdoors will make you feel right at home, and the exceptional graphics – with the vibrant reels and symbols – will (almost) lead you to thinking you are sat in a sunny German park enjoying a pitcher of beer or two during the annual Oktoberfest. We can but dream!
Beer Bonanza
The basic symbols used in Bier Fest are the playing card numbers from Ace to Nine. These pay out on an ascending scale for matching three, four or five on an active payline, with wins ranging from 0.05 coins for matching a trio of 9s (from a 0.01 stake) right up to 1.50 coins for matching five Aces, Kings or Queens.
Then there are the four character symbols. First is the smiling lady serving up a plate of hot Frankfurter & Fries to keep your strength up when spinning the reels, and she pays 0.15, 1.00 and 2.50 for matching three, four and five respectively.
Then there is the musical lady that is playing the accordion: she pays 0.15 (three), 1.50 (four) and 5.00 (five), whilst the cheery chappy in his finest lederhosen pays 0.20, 2.50 and 7.50 accordingly. His payouts are matched by those offered by the lady who is about to serve you a nice stein of premium strength German lager too; the fourth of the game’s symbol.
Bier Fest utilises wilds and scatters to help you to make the most of your winning spins too. The scatter symbol, which is the Beer Stein, pays in any position on reels 2, 3 or 4, with wins multiplied by your total bet amount.
The wild symbol, which is simply the word Wild, substitutes for all other symbols (apart from the scatter), and when there is more than one winning wild combination only the highest will be paid. For a bet of 0.01 coins, the wild returns 0.50 for matching three, 5.00 for four and 10.00 for five.
And how about that Barrel Wild? This symbol appears on reel 3 only, and will expand to take up all three positions on the reel. If it’s feeling particularly random the Barrel Wild will also fill up reel 2 or 4 as well – or maybe even both! All wins are paid after the barrels have worked their magic, and in some cases the rewards are outstanding.
There’s another symbol to look out for on reels 2 and 4 as well: the Glass of Beer. When this appears on your reels it will be drank – yummy – and this will reveal the symbol that lurks underneath the glass. Occasionally, this will also pay out a straight prize as well; from one to four times your original stake.
Run Little Piggy
If you land a Wild Pig symbol on reel 1, and a pretzel lands on the same row in reel 5, then that little piggy is going to do all he or she can to get their trotters on the salty snack. This triggers the Wild Pig Racing game, where three pigs will sit on your reels.
They will then race across the screen, hopefully leaving a trail of wild symbols in their wake that can add up to some big, tasty wins.
Rise and Stein
The Free Spins feature in Bier Fest is triggered by spinning thereof the Beer Stein symbol anywhere on your reels. You will then be asked to select more Steins from the beer cart, and once you have a Collect in your midst then your selection process is over.
However, you will be awarded the corresponding number of free spins and maybe a cheeky little multiplier too. Free spins can be re-triggered too, up to a maximum of 46. The maximum multiplier on offer is a rather handsome 15x.
Prost
If you were a fan of the hit Vegas slot - Bier Haus - then this new slot from Genesis Gaming should be right up your alley. With loads of features, big bonuses and endless hours of glass raising fun, this is one came where you can grab a pint, then sit back and relax as you spin the reels. Cheers.
