Oktoberfest is a huge festival known all over the world, and Red Rake Gaming has put together their own dedication to this event with the Heidi at the Oktoberfest slot. This game has solid graphics with lots of beer-lovers and other symbols on the reels, and it brings great gameplay with a low-volatility style that has a high hit-rate for a minimum of swings.

Format and Layout

The layout of this game is set up so that players have as many betting options as possible with plenty of ways to win. There are five reels and four rows of symbols, and there are also 50 paylines. The betting is a bit atypical, however, since you can actually wager as low as $0.10 per spin, and all of the paylines are always turned on.

The maximum wager is $200, so players still have betting options that will appeal to them no matter what size their bankroll happens to be, but it's very important to note how unusual (and welcomed) it is for a game with so many paylines to have such a low minimum bet size.

Scatters and Free Spins Feature

The way the free spins bonus feature is handled in this game is a bit different than what players are most likely used to, and it's something that other software developers should definitely pay attention to because it helps to give players a really good experience. There are two scatter symbols, both of which are Heidi, and they work together to give you a shot at the bonus feature. If you get five or more in adjacent reels from left to right, then you'll launch into a set of five free spins.

For each additional Heidi that appears, you'll get another five free spins added to your total, and this allows you to re-trigger the feature repeatedly until you earn 80 total free spins. Moreover, once the feature starts, the Heidi scatters that are used to start the feature turn into wilds that are sticky for the entire length of the bonus round. This obviously lends itself to some pretty incredible chances for more winning combinations.

Wild Beer Symbols

The wild beer symbol shows up on every reel in the Heidi at the Oktoberfest slot. However, it does not have its own payouts. Instead, it will help you to get winning combinations that you would have otherwise missed. As you can see from above, it's also a very important part of the bonus feature since there are sticky wilds all through those free spins. This wild does not substitute for the scattered Heidi bonus symbols, but it will count for any other paying symbol in the game. It's a smart symbol to use for this wild because Oktoberfest is centered completely around beer, and Heidi the barmaid isn't hurting the situation either.

Major Symbol Payouts

There are three major symbols in this game that give you some of the best payouts available. First up is the man holding a beer and wearing a hat. He's worth 500x for five of a kind on a payline. Next is a large tavern, and it will get you a 150x payout if you line up five on a payline as well. Just slightly below that in value is the keg symbol, and the payout is 125x for five of a kind for that.

Mid- and Low-level Winning Combinations

At the middle level of the pay table, an accordion, a pair of acorns and a plate with snacks can be found. All three of these symbols have the same payouts for five of a kind, and that's 100x. These are some pretty good pays for mid-range symbols, but the symbols themselves also make a lot of sense given the theme of the game.

Finally, the lowest symbols in the game are the suit symbols. The beer-colored diamond, silver spade, red heart and black club will all get you 75x when you get five of a kind lined up. All of the paying symbols in this game require three of a kind or more to get a winning combination, but the volatility is low enough and the hit-rate is high enough that this doesn't change much.

Our Thoughts

Heidi at the Oktoberfest is a game that has a set of features and graphics that make total sense based on the theme, and that creates a sense of immersion when you play that is lacking in a lot of titles in the slots world. The visual appeal is definitely there as well with the throwback to the old school slot machines with the physical buttons in front, but the gameplay is completely modern and gives players lots to enjoy. Overall, the free spins feature is what really drives this game home, but the regular gameplay is solid as well.
