Play Kaffe BAR-BAR-BAR'en for Free

Players will find all sorts of familiar symbols in this cafe, and a few new ones too. One of the unique symbols is that of the man and woman who own the eponymous coffee house. The man looks a little like Ross from Friends and is raising a thumb, while his wife is a redhead with glasses. The unnamed protagonists are the only character symbols in the game, although we can see their cat on the home screen.

The background of the reels displays a photo of the coffee house’s lounge area, complete with blue wallpaper and zany purple carpets. The 3x2 reel grid itself appear in picture frames, within which sits a coffee urn, a cappuccino with cream, a photograph of the loved-up couple and numerous BAR icons.

The wager options that appear below the reels include Bet Max, ideal if you want to instantly put all lines in play at the highest allowable bet. Alternatively, set the lines, coins and line-stake manually. You can wager between 0.20 and 5 credits per line. The SPIN button is cleverly represented by a cup of coffee, tying in with the theme. In order to be in with a shot at winning the 5,000 credit jackpot, you must play on all five lines.

Among the well-paying symbols, the coffee house proprietors pay 50 for three in a line, while the white-and-gold BARs pay 30. The blue BARs pay 20 and the red BARs pay 10. A combination of any three BAR icons lines your pockets with 5 credits. It’s a minor quibble, but we would have preferred if all symbols matched the coffee house theme.

The cappuccino with cream icon is the game’s highest paying. This one can appear on any of the reels, so do keep an eye out. Its payouts for three matching range from 2,500 coins (one line) up to a whopping 5,000 coins (five lines).

As well as leading players to big wins, the cappuccino symbol represents the game’s wild. Deploy it to replace all other symbols when you’re close to forming a combination of identical symbols. The cappuccinos must appear in a combination that can be completed before rewards will be granted, of course. If you use two of the cappuccino icons in a win, you’ll be rewarded with a massive 25x your pay-out, as determined by the pay-table. The multiplier does not apply to the jackpot of three cappuccino cups, though.

There aren’t just wilds; there are scatters, too. Scatter icons are represented by the coffee pot, and the player is unable to use the aforementioned wild to replace the scatter.

Scatters can appear in any position and reward players with a minimum of double your wager total. Should three of these appear at any one time, gamers will be granted 25 times the wager. Imagine hitting two owner symbols on adjacent reels, and using a wild to form three-in-a-line? Your win will go from 50 to 1,250 in the time it takes a kettle to boil!

Kaffe BAR-BAR-BAR'en has a bizarre name, but when you get right down to it, it’s a classic slot – one we’ve encountered time and again. One thing you can say is that the theme is original. The slot has solid winning opportunities and the multipliers come in handy when you’re attempting to bolster your bankroll.

Of course, we’d have loved some free spins and a bespoke bonus game, but this is an old-school, so those features were never on the cards. Enjoy Kaffe BAR-BAR-BAR'en for what it is: a traditional 3-reeler with a barmy name.
