Gameplay
Octoberfest is a slot which faithfully reproduces the atmosphere of the festival of the same name. The reels are full of symbols that fit in perfectly with the game’s theme. These include a kindly bearded man, a pretty girl with a mug of beer, a hat and a glass filled to the brim with beer. You can win between 250 and 20,000 credits for them. Also present here are the low paying “card” icons Q, J, 10, 9 and 8. Payouts for them range from 30 to 1,000 credits. Before starting the game, you will need to choose your stake. This can be done by changing the number of paylines and the number of credits per line using the buttons at the bottom of the screen. So, the first can be from 1 to 20, and the second from 0.01 to 10.
Paylines
Octoberfest has 20 winning lines at your disposal, giving you plenty of opportunities to make winning combinations on each spin. You have to catch at least 3 symbols in one of the lines to get your payout.
Pay special attention to the Scatter symbol – the bearded man – he is the best symbol in Octoberfest. For a line of 5 of these you can get 20,000 credits.
Bonus
As well as the exciting base game, Octoberfest will hit you with several interesting bonus features.
These include Wild and Scatter symbols, as well as a special symbol. The Wild, represented by a girl with a glass of beer, will substitute for all other symbols in the game except for the bonus symbols. In addition, there is a multiplier for every win that contains a Wild. If you catch 3 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, you will receive 10 free spins. This feature can be restarted if you catch 3 Scatter’s again during this time. In addition, Octoberfest has a special symbol that makes composing winning combinations much easier. So, if you manage to catch 3 of these symbols, the next 10 spins will trigger a round-trip payout system.
