Celebrate Oktoberfest and Win with Coinfest Slot
Oktoberfest is the world’s longest wedding celebration lasting more than 200 years. The festival celebrates the union of Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. It generally involves gallons upon gallons of beer, great German food, and general merriment.
Strengthen that drinking arm and take a shot at the €389,900 max win in Coinfest slot from Platipus.
The first beer is on us
A jolly German man with a red nose and a beer in his hand serves as the Coinfest slot wild. The symbol appears stacked on the reels and when it appears on the reels three high as a part of a winning combination, the symbols will merge into a full-length version of the man.
With the appearance of three or more wooden beer keg scatter symbols, you’ll unlock a round of 8 free spins. The feature doesn’t offer a unique set of reels or any other special feature. The only element of the feature worth mentioning is that spins are fully retriggerable with an additional 8 spins being awarded the appearance of three or more scatter symbols during a round of free spins.
In addition to the free spins feature, the slot also offers a respin feature that is triggered with the appearance of six or more bronze coin symbols, each featuring a cash amount, on the reels during either the base game or during free spins.
Once the respin feature is triggered, all the other symbols on the reels will disappear and the bronze coins will be fixed in place. You will then receive six respins to add additional bronze coins or even higher value silver and gold coin symbols. At the end of your respins all values on the reels are added together and awarded to you.
If you’re not keen on waiting in line for a pint, you can also select to buy a round of the respin of free spins features. The cost of free spins is set at 50x your current bet and respins 40x your current bet.
Is Coinfest slot worth the wait in line?
There is definitely something about Coinfest slot. I don’t know if it was just that I was hungry when I played it and the sizzling Bratwurst symbol looked very tasty or that the gameplay has some X factor that I can’t quite quantify. On the face of it, there’s not a lot to Coinfest slot. The graphics looked like they were pulled from the early 2000s and the features feel like they’re from the same time period. The only thing that really modernizes the gameplay is the presence of the buy bonus feature, which in terms of the history of slots is a relatively new development.
That being said, the slot does offer some favorable winning opportunities. It carries medium volatility which gives a nice balance between consistent small wins while still having the chance to take home the €389,900 max win. The disappointing 95% RTP rating does, however, mark a low point of the celebrations.
If you’re looking for a few classic Platipus slots I recommend giving Hawaiian Night and Pearls of the Ocean a try. While they’re not on my top ten list, they do rank as some of the best Platipus games.
