Play Octobeer Fortunes Slot

Octobeer Fortunes Review

The Oktoberfest is the world’s largest beerfest, and it was canceled in 2021 due to Corona. The madness kicks off Saturday September 17th in 2022 however, and it’s probably going to be wild after the prolonged period of restrictions. Pragmatic Play’s Octobeer Fortunes seems like a perfect warm up in that regard, and it follows in the footsteps of previous releases like Treasure Wild and Black Bull.

In fact, it’s almost identical to those two installments, and the beer-infused theme will probably appeal more to certain players than others. The reels spin in a typical German tavern setting, accompanied by a cheerful Bavarian folk music soundtrack. The base game is all about money symbol collection, and the money prizes accumulate persistently in the bonus round, while being collected by each wild that lands.

Octobeer Fortunes Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 3 and 15 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the barmaid Wild can appear on all reels. Wilds substitute for pay symbols to help complete wins, and the wild pays the same as the top-tier beer keg should 3 to 5 appear on a payline. Money Symbols land with values between 0.5 and 50 x your stake, and each Wild in view will collect the money prizes if at least one appears at the same time.

You need 5+ money symbols in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this awards 9 free spins. All the triggering money symbol prizes are collected in the beer tower on the right-hand side up front, and all new money symbols that land are also collected there. The total accumulated value is collected as a win per wild that lands, and you cannot retrigger or get extra spins.

Finally, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the Bonus Buy options. There are 11 regular options of triggering money symbols, and you can pay between 100 and 200x your stake to get between 5 and 15 triggering beer money symbols. In addition, there is a mystery option that costs 150x your stake, and all options give you 9 free spins.

The 200 Spins Octobeer Fortunes Slot Experience

You get a decent taste of the base game, but nothing overly exciting happened for us there. We purchase the bonus round at 1:30 into the 4:29-minute highlights video, and we went for 10 starting/triggering money symbols.

Review Summary

Beer lovers will presumably prefer this cheerful release over the original, and somewhat aloof, Treasure Wild, and there is a certain charm to the cliched Oktoberfest theme. If you’re trying to cut down on the booze, Octobeer Fortunes is hardly the best choice, but that really goes without saying. The game is perfect for a warm-up session before a pre-party, and it will definitely get you thirsty for a cold one.

As with the original release, and the somewhat more developed Black Bull in between, the gameplay is mainly focused on cash collection. You get okay payouts in the base game on occasions, but it’s far more engaging when the prize accumulation gets to a decent level in the bonus round. You can “cheat” in that regard, by purchasing up to 15 triggering cash beers (not UK), which is another reason to prefer this festive remake.

You get to collect money symbols up to 50x also here, and money symbols are accumulated in the bonus round. You can win up to 4,500x your stake, and the probability is a superior 1 in 1,140,698.

Bier Party - is an oktoberfest installment from Wizard Games, and you can look forward to beer guzzling, food feast and smash hit bonus rounds. There are jackpot prizes up for grabs too, and features can trigger at random times via the power pay feature. The max win is 2,860x your stake, or 2,757x, depending on the RTP setting.

Bar Slot - is another beer slot set in a typical German bar, and this Golden Rock release is filled to the brim with liquor of all sorts. The bar maiden symbol awards instant cash prizes in the bonus round, and this can lead to payouts up to 1,020x your stake.
