Oktobearfest

Oktobearfest by Popiplay

Six cuckoo clocks pay 3x the bet, the highest figure on the Oktobearfest paytable. Three bears in beer foam stand between that number and the slot’s stated maximum. When free spins start, the player picks which of their three features runs the round.

Past the TAP TO START screen, the reels stand in a wooden festival booth under a blue-and-white striped awning. A brown bear dozes in the booth’s bottom-left corner in a green hat with a red feather, a foaming beer mug in front of him. The reels hold pretzel letters, sausages and foaming beer barrels, along with red cuckoo clocks, crossed beer bottles, green lederhosen, and a feathered alpine hat.

Demo Bonus Features

The bears are Wild Divers, a special kind of Wild that appears both in the base game and during free spins. They come in 3 variations, and each one triggers a different bonus feature. The regular sausage Wild works alongside them and replaces any symbol except the Bonus can.

Beer Dive

The Yellow Bear dives head-first into a tall glass of golden beer with a white foam head. His feature turns the reel into a Wild reel, and up to 3 additional reels can be converted as well.

Drink Off

The Blue Bear wears a teal helmet and carries two blue-and-white beer cans with a teal drinking tube. When he triggers Drink Off, up to 6 Wilds land at random on the reels for the current spin.

Thirst for Wurst

The Green Bear has a red sausage hanging across his mouth like a moustache and holds a golden sausage trophy marked #1, which makes him the natural mascot for a food slot built on beer and sausages. Thirst for Wurst is his mini-game of up to 24 respins, and Cuckoo Clocks are the one symbol those respins feature. Any respin with at least one new clock earns another, and the feature ends when no new clock lands or the grid is full.

Free Spins

The Bonus symbol is a blue tin can marked BONUS above and WÜRST below. Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 of them awards 8, 12, 16, or 20 free spins. Once the round triggers, the player picks one of three bonus options.

Each free spin also brings a 2x multiplier, placed at random above the reels, and up to 6 can be active at once. A way to win takes the multiplier above it. When one way passes under several, the game combines their values, up to a total maximum of 64x.

Free spins can be re-triggered. Oktobearfest lists a maximum win of up to 30,000x your bet.

Does a 3x top pay sink the game? No, though it leaves the features a lot to do. Choosing respins, random Wilds, or Wild reels at the start of free spins is the best idea here, and the bears appear in regular play too, so this slot has more going on than its paytable suggests.
