Lucky Oktoberfest Slot Review

How to play

The Lucky Oktoberfest slot is played on five reels, three rows, and 10 paylines – in fact, everything expected from typical slot gameplay. The game simply requires you to land winning combinations of matching symbols on any of the pay-lines. They can only count when they run from left to right on adjacent reels.

You have to choose your stake before you start paying, which is between €0.20 and €20. Although you wager your total stake, your wins are multiplied by the stake per line which is the total divided by 10. The betting range makes the slot mostly ideal for low budget players.

You can spin the reels automatically with the auto option under the reels, and select up to 100 spins. For quicker gameplay, you can click on the fast-forward button which will speed up the reels.

Best Lucky Oktoberfest bonus features

There are different Lucky Oktoberfest bonus features that you should expect if you play the slot long enough, but let’s start with the Bier feature. If the bier mugs land on the first and fifth reels, they make a toast. This will fill random reels on the playing area with beer and exchange the covered symbols with random winning symbols in a combination.

Next is the Lucky Oktoberfest free spins feature that is activated by landing free spins symbols on the first, third, and fifth reels. This will reward you with 10 free spins and the symbols will be locked in place during the bonus round.

There is the Hans feature which is triggered when the Hans symbol lands on the first reel during the free spins round. When it lands, Hans starts drinking and this will increase your total win multiplier. But, if Helga lands on the fifth reel, this unlocks the Helga feature. If she starts drinking, you get extra free spins to play with.

The bonus features offered are mostly in the free spins round, and the Lucky Oktoberfest slot does not include a wild symbol.

RTP & volatility

The Lucky Oktoberfest RTP is not encouraging for any player looking out for high returns, as it is set at 95.76%. This is below the industry average for online slots. It also features high volatility which indicates you may come across top wins, but not often.
