Heidi's Bier Haus Slots
There’s nothing more relaxing than a cold beer on a warm summer
day, and when it comes🍉 to building a beer garden, nobody beats the Germans. The
atmosphere of these drinking houses is like nothing else on🍉 Earth, and while great beer
can now be found in so many different countries, there’s still something to be said🍉 for
going back to the original source of pure, traditional lagers.
That’s the atmosphere
that’s being celebrated in Heidi’s Bier Haus🍉 by WMS. It’s a machine with all of the
charm of Bavaria, including jovial drinkers, friendly barmaids, salty snacks, and
🍉 overflowing pints. It’s a winning theme to be sure, but the machine is perhaps best
known for its unique structure🍉 and entertaining bonus rounds that keep the anticipation
and energy high on every single spin.
Meet Me in Munich
Thisf video slot🍉 is housed in
the TwinStar J43 cabinet, which has been used by Scientific Games (the parent company
of WMS) to🍉 house several prominent titles. The game is decked out in golden yellow and
brown colors that give this machine an🍉 autumn atmosphere, one that might make you think
of Oktoberfest each time you sit down to play. The main gameplay🍉 takes place on a large
curved LCD monitor that provides for sharp, detailed graphics and a dynamic look.
The
game itself🍉 is played on an unusual setup that utilizes six reels and 50 paylines in
total. With six positions on each🍉 reel, there are a lot of symbols on screen, which
gives the game an open, larger than life feel. While🍉 most gamblers enjoy these machines
as penny slots, many different denominations are available, and players can wager up to
600🍉 coins per spin, making this appropriate for both high rollers and low limit
gamblers. This game is not available at🍉 online casinos at this time, though an earlier
version – known simply as Bier Haus – does have a play🍉 for free version at some online
gambling sites.
As you would expect, the object of this game it to match symbols🍉 from
left to right across your active paylines. The most basic icons are the four card game
suits, while larger🍉 payouts can be earned by thematic symbols that you might find in a
beer hall: steins, pretzels, musical instruments, hats,🍉 and so on. The major
high-paying symbol is the German man named Hans, who appears as a stacked two-position
symbol🍉 on the reels.
A Bevy of Bonuses
As with most slots, this game features wild
symbols, this time coming in the form🍉 of frosty pints of beer. These come in stacked
forms that can cover entire reels at once. These wild symbols🍉 can act as substitutes
for any other icon, helping to complete win lines wherever they can.
What would a
Heidi’s Bier🍉 Haus video slot machine be without an appearance by Heidi herself? Our
smiling barmaid is the bonus symbol for this🍉 game, and she appears in three different
versions: red, green, and purple. Any time you hit at least five of🍉 these anywhere on
the screen, you’ll earn yourself some free spins. This can range anywhere from five to
100 spins,🍉 depending on just how many bonus icons you triggered the feature with.
Some
of these symbols also come with added benefits.🍉 Each purple Heidi will remain in place
on screen as a sticky wild that will stay in place throughout the🍉 free spins round.
Meanwhile, each of the red Heidi will earn you a spin on a special wheel feature that
🍉 will appear on the screen. These spins can offer players a number of different rewards.
First, you might get some🍉 extra free spins in addition to those that you initially
earned when you triggered the free games round. Hitting the🍉 beer wedge will result in
bonus wild symbols appearing during the bonus game, while landing on the tapper will
result🍉 in entire reels turning wild.
Finally, there are four spots on the wheel that
are linked to the four progressive jackpots🍉 listed above the main gaming area. The
smallest jackpot – known as the pretzel jackpot – starts out at a🍉 modestR$8 when this
is played in penny slots mode, but the accordion, Hans, and Heidi prizes are larger,
with Heidi’s🍉 prize being worth at leastR$1,000 at all times.
One More Round
If you’re a
fan of games that combine fun themes with🍉 unique formats and fun bonus features, then
you’ll definitely want to play this slot. The six reel format doesn’t have🍉 all that
much of an impact on gameplay, but it helps give the game a larger play area that adds
🍉 just a little more anticipation on each spin. We enjoyed the idea that all of the
potential bonus features are🍉 linked through the free spins game; this allows for a lot
of variety in play without complicating the screen with🍉 numerous special symbols. The
result is an entertaining and engaging machine that should delight gamblers –
especially those who enjoy🍉 a drink from time to time.
