Game Overview
I’m sure you can take a guess what Pragmatic Play could be thinking with their new game Octobeer Fortunes! I’ll give you a clue anyway: Oktoberfest is on the way, so I hope you enjoy accordion music, huge steins full of beer, and salty pretzels! Pragmatic Play must be a fan, as they have created this new online slot to celebrate, and as always, the presentation is top-notch – as good as it gets, I would say. Let me go a tad deeper there – the graphics and animation are undoubtedly amongst the highest quality of any developer, but as for that accordion music…. I think that may be a personal taste thing! Down to the vitals: Octobeer Fortunes online slot contains 20 pay lines, has a theoretical RTP of 96.53%, and pays out a maximum jackpot of 4,500x your stake.
As for features, we have a wild modifier symbol that will collect the values of all MONEY symbols that appear during the same spin. Hitting five or more of those same symbols at once will trigger a free spins-based bonus round, which includes a “progressive” feature whereby the values of all CASH symbols that land during the free spins will be added together to determine the players’ eventual winnings.
Pragmatic Play is one of the most reliable slots developers out there, so I’d guess there could be a reasonable chance you are already interested in trying this game! Be our guests: our free demo slot of Octobeer Fortunes is available below.
Octobeer Fortunes Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Most of you will have heard of the famous German beer festival known as Oktoberfest, but just in case you have not, I have linked to their official website for you there. This event used to be held exclusively in Munich, Bavaria, in Germany each year but has since spread worldwide. There are now countless satellite beer festivals held in cities around Europe (and even one or two on other continents as well!) every October. It’s a great event that has helped significantly with spreading modern German culture around the globe. There have been one or two earlier attempts at making an online slot based around Oktoberfest, so I guess the question is, how does Pragmatic Play’s attempt compare with those?
The highest paying symbol on the paytable is the barrel of beer, and it has a return of 15x your stake for a full pay line of five-of-a-kind. Predictably, the stein is next and immediately halves the payoff to just 7.5x, whilst the hat pays 6x, the accordion pays 4.5x, and the pretzel pays 3x. The money collection symbol and feature have some higher payout possibilities, including wins of 10x, 20x, and 50x your bet, but these are much rarer than regular symbol wins, of course. The wild has no payout of its own, instead paying the same 15x that the barrel of beer symbol does, but I guess you can’t have everything!
And over to the stake selection part of the game, which uses the familiar three control setup that Pragmatic Play loves to use, despite the fact it is pretty pointless as you can simply control your overall total bet using just the plus and minus controls at the bottom of the screen. Doh! The minimum bet per spin is €0.20, whilst the maximum is more than enough at €100.00.
Base Game & Modifiers
The main game of Octobeer Fortunes takes place on a 5×3 playfield, and the 20 pay lines employed by the game make sense for a standard size grid like this. Wins are usually awarded for hitting three or more matching symbols from left to right, except the money collection feature, which pays out whenever both WILD and MONEY symbols land during the same spin – we’ll go into a little more detail below.
Money Collection Feature
Whenever one or more MONEY symbols land at the same time as a WILD symbol, it will trigger the money collection feature. Each MONEY symbol will award a random value picked from the following possible amounts: 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 7.5x, 10x, 20x, or 50x your bet.
Octobeer Fortunes Slot Free Spins Feature
Pragmatic Play has included a main free spins feature as well as the money collection feature, and whilst it can’t be retriggered, unfortunately, it is quite profitable when it shows up!
You’ll need five or more MONEY symbols simultaneously to trigger the free spins, which begin with nine free spins. All the MONEY symbols that triggered the feature will be added together and collected immediately before the round starts. Each MONEY symbol that lands during the free spins will continue to be added to your winnings until you finish your nine spins.
It would have been nice if Pragmatic Play had included one or two additional features in this bonus round. Still, it’s a fun break from the base game all the same, and my only real complaint is that your winnings will be capped at 4,500x if you hit that number, and any remaining free spins will be forfeited. Come on; I’m sure you could have let us have our last couple of spins, Pragmatic Play!
Bonus Buy Feature
If you play from a jurisdiction where the feature buy button is active, you can gain immediate access to the free spins feature on Octobeer Fortunes. The cost to buy in will depend on how many scatters you want to trigger the feature with, and prices start from as low as 100x bet up to a maximum of 200x bet.
Octobeer Fortunes Slot Review Final Thoughts
I love the theme of Octobeer Fortunes, and the top-notch presentation makes this game a joy to play…after you switch the sound off! It’s another hit for Pragmatic Play, however, and I’m looking forward to checking this one out in real money mode as soon as it’s in my regular list of online casinos. I recommend you do the same!
