When does the Cascade Multiplier begin increasing?

The first win in a sequence is paid normally. A second consecutive win after a cascade receives 2x, followed by 3x on the third win, 4x on the fourth and progressively higher values if the cascade sequence continues.

Is there a 4x maximum on the Cascade Multiplier?

No. The multiplier continues increasing by one with every further consecutive winning cascade until the sequence ends.

What causes the Barmaid Wild to expand?

The Barmaid expands when she contributes to a winning combination. She then covers all 3 positions of the reel on which she landed.

Can an Expanding Wild appear on either outer reel?

No. The Barmaid Wild is restricted to reels 2, 3 and 4, keeping the expanding mechanic within the three central reels.

Why must the Bonus Wheel symbols appear across reels 1, 3 and 5?

Those are the reels on which the Bonus Wheel symbols can appear. Landing all 3 required symbols activates the Bonus Wheel and leads into the Free Spins feature.

What does the outer section of the Bonus Wheel determine?

The outer section determines how many Free Spins are awarded for the feature.

What does the inner section of the Bonus Wheel control?

The inner section determines the multiplier used during the awarded Free Spins, giving the feature a separate multiplier in addition to the Cascade Multiplier.

How do the two multipliers interact during Free Spins?

The Free Spins multiplier selected by the Bonus Wheel and the active Cascade Multiplier are multiplied together. They are not simply added.

Does the Cascade Multiplier carry its value from one completed sequence into the next?

No. Its progression belongs to the current cascade sequence. Once a cascade produces no further win, that sequence ends and the Cascade Multiplier resets.

Why are Beer Mugs different from the other regular paying symbols?

Beer Mugs can produce a payout with only 2 matching symbols and form the strongest regular combination in the game, awarding 150x for a complete five symbol result.

Oktobeer Gold

Oktobeer Gold captures the atmosphere of a packed Bavarian beer hall without turning its gameplay into a complicated collection of unrelated features. The action takes place across 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines, where every regular win can start a cascade and every successful continuation increases the value of the sequence. Expanding Wilds provide the strongest support on the reels, while the Bonus Wheel introduces Free Spins and a second multiplier into a system capable of producing wins up to 15069x the bet. Regular combinations are formed across the 20 fixed paylines, starting from the leftmost reel and continuing through consecutive reels. Beer Mugs are the strongest regular paying symbol and are unusual because they can already produce a payout from 2 matching symbols. Five Beer Mugs award 150x the bet, making them considerably more valuable than the remaining regular symbols. A successful line win removes its participating symbols from the grid and starts a cascade. Symbols above the empty positions drop down and new ones enter from the top. If the refreshed grid produces another winning combination, that win is paid and another cascade follows. The sequence continues for as long as each new arrangement creates at least one valid win. Consecutive cascade wins also develop the Cascade Multiplier. The first win pays normally, the second consecutive win receives a 2x multiplier, the third increases to 3x and the fourth to 4x. Every further successful cascade continues increasing the multiplier by one. The progression belongs exclusively to the current sequence and resets when a cascade fails to create another win. The Barmaid acts as the Wild and appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. She substitutes for regular paying symbols but not for the Bonus Wheel symbol. When the Barmaid contributes to a winning combination, she expands vertically to cover all 3 positions on her reel. This can strengthen the original result while also creating additional line connections across the compact grid. Three Bonus Wheel symbols activate the main feature. These symbols are restricted to reels 1, 3 and 5, meaning the complete trigger requires the relevant symbol to appear across those three specific reels. Once triggered, the Bonus Wheel determines the starting conditions for the Free Spins round rather than awarding one fixed feature configuration every time. The wheel is divided into two functional sections. Its outer section determines the number of Free Spins, while the inner section selects the multiplier that applies during the feature. Each available wheel combination has an equal chance of being selected, so one trigger can produce a different balance of spins and multiplier strength from the next. Cascades and their progressive multiplier remain active during Free Spins. The multiplier selected by the Bonus Wheel operates alongside the Cascade Multiplier, and the two values are multiplied together when calculating qualifying wins. A long cascade sequence can therefore become substantially stronger during the bonus because the increasing cascade value is being amplified by the multiplier awarded before the Free Spins begin. Oktobeer Gold is available with RTP configurations of 92.08 percent, 94.07 percent, 95.07 percent and 96.09 percent, making 96.09 percent the highest published version. Volatility is Medium, the documented Hit Frequency is approximately 26 percent and the standard published betting range is 0.20 to 100. Maximum winnings reach 15069x the bet. Reliable mathematical figures for the probability of reaching that maximum and the natural frequency of the Bonus Wheel feature have not been published. The strength of Oktobeer Gold is the way its features build on one another rather than competing for attention. Expanding Wilds can improve the structure of a win, that win can begin a chain of cascades, and every successful continuation makes the active Cascade Multiplier stronger. Reaching the Bonus Wheel then places another multiplier on top of that existing framework, making sustained winning sequences the most important part of the game from the first spin to the feature round.
