How to play Oktoberfest Spins

Game overview

This video slot has 25 fixed paylines, with a Jackpot, Free "Refill" Spin, Wild, Expanding Wild over Reel 3 and a Bonus game.

The bet is determined for total bet – there is no denomination selection per line.

The game rules apply for mobile as well.

General instructions

  • All symbols pay left to right on consecutive reels of an active payline (starting with the leftmost reel).
  • All wins are multiplied by the bet per line, except for jackpot wins which are not multiplied at all and bonus game which is multiplied by total bet.
  • Only the highest win will be paid on each of the active paylines.
  • Malfunction voids all pays and plays.
  • Bonus game, Re-spin and Jackpot wins are paid in addition to payline wins.

Game features

Free “Refill” Spin!

  • A single Free "Refill" Spin is awarded each time the player’s original spin game round did not result in any win.
  • The Free “Refill” Spin is played at the same bet level as the original round and cannot be retriggered.
  • Jackpot cannot be won during the Free “Refill” Spin.

Wild

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except for Bonus. It does not pay anything by itself.

Expanding Wild

When a Wild appears on reel 3 during a "Refill" spin, it will expand to cover all positions on the reel. The Wild will not expand if it does not result in a winning combination.

Bonus game

  • If 2 Bonus symbols appear in the center of reels 1 and 5 simultaneously, the bonus game will commence.
  • In the Bonus game there are 3 stages and in each the player needs to choose 1 out of 5 items.
  • The total bet will be multiplied by the total multipliers won during the bonus game.

General jackpot information

  • This game has a progressive jackpot.
  • The Jackpot prize is awarded randomly.
  • No symbol combinations are necessary for winning.
  • The probability of getting a jackpot is determined by the size of the bet.
  • The jackpot growth rate is 1% of game bets.
  • In addition, the house places a seed amount in the jackpot after every jackpot hit.
  • For this jackpot the seed amount is $375,000, or the equivalent amount in other play currencies offered.
  • This jackpot is shared with other games.
  • This jackpot is not capped in any way.

Consecutive jackpot wins

  • Imperfections of internet communications should not affect progressive jackpot fairness or potential jackpot wins.
  • In each progressive jackpot there is a seed amount, used for intro and refills.
  • In each progressive jackpot, there can be two sequential wins, separated by anything from seconds to months apart.
  • Let’s say a given jackpot starts growing based on contributions made during subsequent players’ rounds. Let's suppose the jackpot is now at 1500 USD. If two players win the jackpot seconds apart, the first will win the 1500 USD while the second will win the seed plus all the contributions accrued since the first jackpot drop.
  • The in-game and lobby jackpot counters are refreshed every ~15 seconds (depending on the type of internet connection available to the player) which is very fast, so most likely the second (consecutive) winner would be already aware that the jackpot has been reset prior to winning it.
  • The above is true for both real money and demo money jackpots and for both PC and mobile-based games.

Game RTP

The player’s percentage of theoretical expected return is 95.02%, but can be as low as 94.02%, depending on the amount of wagers placed with Restricted Funds, free spins or FreePlay.
