Beer Bonanza Slot Review
I’m not a massive drinker, and when I do drink I’m pretty particular about what I have. The list isn’t extensive (gin, prosecco or champagne, tequila if I’m feeling daring… that’s about it), but it’s been enough to keep me going until now.
But, and this is a big one, there’s no way in hell I’m ever going for a beer. In fact, I can’t even wrap my head around the fact that some people will drink the stuff.
I’ve heard all the arguments in favor of it, and I’m just not convinced. I’m not sure what’s so “refreshing” about drinking carbonated urine, but it’s never going to do it for me.
In light of that, Oktoberfest is probably my least favorite German tradition – and I’m Jewish, so you know that it has some serious competition (historically, at least).
Anyway, here’s Beer Bonanza slot from BGAMING.
Gameplay
Beer Bonanza slot is a 5-reel game that uses the Cluster Pays mechanism to award wins. If you’re not familiar with this feature, allow me to take a moment to explain.
So, wins are calculated by counting the number of matching symbols that land together (in a Cluster) on the reels. The payout will then equal the value of the symbols added together, multiplied by your bet.
Clusters are made up of 5 or more matching symbols – no iffy paylines to worry about here.
Now that’s all good and well but what about the stats, right? Beer Bonanza slot has a 96% RTP (bang-on average) and a high volatility rate.
The maximum win of €180,000 is decent enough, especially if you take that 15,000x bet multiplier into account. That means you’ll only need to stake €12 to score the top payout.
You can start betting from just €0.20, using any currency you please.
Oh, and Beer Bonanza slot is fully optimized for mobile play – thank god for the modern miracle of mobile gameplay!
Features
FREE SPINS
Landing 4, 5, or 5 Scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger 10, 20, or 30 Free Spins. If 3 or more Scatters drop during this feature, an additional 5 spins will be awarded.
During Free Spins, multiplier symbols can land on the reels and take on a value from 2x to 100x your bet. When Cluster Pays have finished up, the value of the multiplier symbols on screen are added together and the total win of the round is multiplied by that amount.
BUY BONUS
Who has time to wait for Free Spins to trigger on their own these days? Just use the Buy Bonus button next to the reels to activate them immediately.
The price of this feature will vary according to your bet level, so keep that in mind.
CHANCE 2X
If you don’t feel like splashing the cash on the Buy Bonus button, you can hit the Chance 2x one instead. This will increase your chances of landing the Free Spins round by 2x (if that wasn’t clear), and it costs less than just buying the feature outright.
Performance
I tested Beer Bonanza slot on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 13, as well as Chrome and Safari. After hundreds of spins, I can confidently say that this game didn’t give me any trouble.
Maximum Win
To land the €180,000 max win, you’ll want to set your bet to €12. Then, spin in the hopes of scoring the 15,000x multiplier.
But if that feels like too steep a price to pay, you can always start your bet at €0.20.
Conclusion
Beer Bonanza slot is fairly simple, which means it's ideal for newb players. However, the max payout is decent enough for those with deeper pockets too, so don’t discount it at first glance.
I’d recommend making use of the Buy Bonus button if you are serious about playing this slot though, because triggering the Free Spins organically took some time.
Overall, though, this is a reasonable offering from BGaming. Not the best, but it’ll do for a slow day.
