Steinfest Online Pokie For Oktoberfest Cheers

Added: September 8, 2016

The biggest beer festival, Oktoberfest, gets under way in Bavaria on September 17, less than 10 days from now. It is not easy for Australians to travel half way round the world for the beer, sauerkraut and festivities. But players at Australian online casinos can celebrate this event from their homes throughout the year through some excellent Oktoberfest themed online pokies. The best of these is Steinfest, which is live at all Microgaming powered Australian online casinos such as Casino Mate, Platinum Play and Ruby Fortune.

The Oktoberfest ambience is perfectly created by some well-chosen and designed symbols. The highest payouts are awarded by the waitress with the beer mugs and the waitress with the beer steins. These symbols pay out smaller amounts in mixed combinations. The music is provided by the accordion, drum and bugle. The win animations make the Oktoberfest scene come alive. Microgaming has used thematic symbols in Steinfest online pokie instead of the usual playing card icons. These are mouth-watering items from Bavarian cuisine. The pub is the wild symbol. It appears stacked on the reels. The stein and the pub sign board are scatter symbols. They award payouts multiplied by the total bet when two or more appear scattered on the reels.

Steinfest video slot game has two bonus features. Three or more pub sign symbols anywhere on the reels trigger 10 free spins in which all payouts are doubled. During the free spins the wild symbol is double stacked so appears more frequently on the reels. The free spins can be retriggered. The Beer Chug feature is the thematic bonus game on the second screen. In order to activate it, you need to land three or more stein symbols anywhere on the reels. You get to pick as many customers in the pub as there are bonus symbols in the triggering spin. Each pick awards random bonus credits. This bonus feature can be triggered in the base game and in the free spins.

Steinfest has 9 selectable paylines, but as usual you should play with all of them enabled. This structure tends to have higher volatility with larger than normal payouts. Both waitresses pay 2000 times the line bet for five like symbols in an active payline. The maximum line bet is AU$2.50 and the maximum total bet is AU$22.50. This may keep high roller players at Australian online casinos away, which is a pity because Steinfest is a fantastic online pokie.
