Beer lovers of the world, please welcome Golden Brew, a fantastic new Oktoberfest-themed online slot with 5 reels, 4 rows, and 50 fixed paylines. The game came out just before Oktoberfest, which is great for all those who enjoy sausages and draft beer. The game is decorated with recognizable Endorphina features, including the Risk Game and Free Spins. You can win up to 1,400x the stake by playing Golden Brew.
It’s an interesting gameplay because spins occur in 10-spin cycles. At the end of those 10 spins, you might potentially trigger a Beer Pub Bonus game, which is a fancy name for beer pouring which adds a Wild to an entire Reel. This keeps players entertained while they wait to hit Free Spins using Scatters. In Free Spins, The Wilds are moving. The Moving Wild Feature features a number of Wilds that move across the board as spins play out. In the end, there’s also a Risk Game that doubles your winnings on every win if you guess which card is higher than the dealer’s.
The RTP for the slot is 96.06%, while variance is not displayed. Bets go from €0.50 to €150, which is a solid betting range. The game is playable for free and for real money at every Endorphina casino. Let’s get to pouring!
SHOW MORESHOW MORESHOW LESSGolden Brew is a unique online slot centering around Oktoberfest. You know, the world’s largest beer festival taking place in Munich each year? Yeah, that one.
So, the game is focusing on beer, German culture, pretzels and sausages, which appear on the grid as paying symbols. Low-value icons such as royals 10, J, Q, K, and A pay from 0.06x to 0.50x for 5 OAK. On the other hand, sausages, pretzels, a Tyrolean hat, a mug, and accordion are high-value icons paying 0.70x to 0.80x for 5 OAK. The beer maiden pays up to 1.60x.
The Scatter is also a paying icon, worth from 2x for 3 to 200x for 5 matching icons. You can win up to 1,400x in the game.
As always, we don’t know what’s the volatility, but we do know it’s a good RTP of 96.06%. To play, you place a bet that’s between €0.50 and €150 and play.
Here’s an interesting thing about Golden Brew. The slot has cycles of 10 spins that happen as you go. At the end of a cycle, if you managed to collect 2 coins per beer barrel (that are sitting atop the reels), you will see beer poured on that reel. That will then transform into a reel-covering Wild that triggers amazing wins. If not, the cycle repeats.
Golden Brew has a cute mix of novel and recognizable features that are a staple of Endorphina. You’ll see a Beer Pub Bonus, Free Spins, and a Gamble Game.
Base game spins happen in cycles of 10 spins during which a meter on the side of the reels is filled with beer. Beer barrels sit on the top of the reels. Gold Coins land on the grid as special random icons, but which are then transferred to the top of their respective reel into the barrel. Each barrel can collect up to 2 coins.
If they collect 2 coins, beer is poured out of the barrel when the cycle ends. You can track progress on the beer meter beside the grid. At the end of the cycle, barrels that have 2 Coins will pour beer – which transforms into a Wild – and then they reset.
Wilds cover entire reels, which increases winning chances and often triggers a win.
Free Spins are unlocked using Scatters. 3, 4, and 5 Scatters deliver 10, 15, and 20 Free Spins, respectively. They all also come with The Moving Wild Feature.
During Free Spins, said Moving Wilds land on the grid (2, 3, or 4 Wilds per spin) and they move across the board as the spin plays out. Other than that, the feature is a classic Free Spins Bonus Round.
Last but not least, Risk Game is a fantastic online feature that gives you a chance to double the winnings in the base game by letting you play a game of risk. It’s a card game, where you are given a top card and four face-down cards. Your task is to click on one you feel is higher than the dealer’s card. If you are right, your winnings are doubled and you get a chance to go to the next level. If you are wrong, you lose everything (including initial winnings).
The round ends either when you miss a card, or if you win all 5 levels. You don’t have to play the Risk Game, you can just opt for Take Win and proceed to the next spin.
Endorphina slots are always fun because they feature interesting themes. Gameplaywise, they are almost always the same – it’s the same mechanic, classic reels, and predictable technical details. But it’s the themes that appeal to us the most, and Golden Brew is a perfect example of that.
Golden Brew features 5×4 reels with 50 paylines, on which you can score wins reaching up to 1,400x. That’s not bad for a game with 96.06% RTP and €0.50-€150 betting range. The choice of features is a very classic one (Free Spins and Risk Game) but we did enjoy the 10-spin cycle at the end of which you might get a dazzling Wild stretched across a reel. The beer is flowing, the sausages are delicious – Golden Brew is a hit.
