Oktobearfest review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

Beer, pretzels, lederhosen … it's no wonder these bears are having a great time at Oktoberfest! This Popiplay slot game has a German theme, featuring an ursine character, kegs of beer, and delicious treats like beer and pretzels.

The backdrop is simple, with the grid appearing in an Oktoberfest tent. There are some subtle animations both on the grid and in the background, the most important of which is the sleeping bear who might just have had a few too many steins of beer. The theme tune will have you up and dancing: it's a lot more vibrant than most other slot background music.

Gameplay

You'll win by matching the same symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. Rather than paylines, the game has win ways – in total, there are 4,096 possible ways to win.

The highest-paying symbol is the cuckoo clock, and you'll also bag tasty wins by landing beer, keg, hat, or lederhosen symbols. The lower-paying symbols are the numbers and letters from a deck of cards: A, K, Q, J, and 10.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The Wild symbol is a very cool visual: a bratwurst with mustard in the shape of a "W". Wilds substitute for all other symbols except bonus symbols, to help complete winning combinations.

Landing three, four, five, or six of the special bonus symbols (a can of bratwurst) awards you with 8, 12, 16, or 20 Free Spins respectively.

During Free Spins, there are three special Wild Diver symbols (you'll choose one before the bonus round starts), each of which triggers a different bonus feature. One special Wild turns a reel into a Wild Reel, another adds up to six Wilds to the grid, and the final one awards Respins with the cuckoo clock symbols only.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

Oktobearfest has a Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 97.03%, which is very comfortably above the average of 96%. The game's volatility is rated as high, which means that wins tend to be bigger, and gameplay can be very exciting indeed.

The minimum bet amount of Oktobearfest is low, at just $/€/£0.20, and the maximum goes up to a very high $/€/£750 per spin. The max win stands at an impressive 30,000x your stake – quite a bit more than you might be accustomed to seeing.

Conclusion

The maximum win of 30,000x alone is enough to make this game a try. The high RTP of 97.03% also means that on average the game pays out more over a long period of time, than a game with a lower RTP. Overall, we found this game to be fun and interactive – everything from the quirky theme to the different Free Spins rounds makes for entertaining gameplay.
