Bier Haus Slot Review

WMS Gaming invites you to its German beer house with the Bier Haus slot, where you can spin the reels and party the night away in Bavarian style as you seek big payouts. A classic at land-based casinos, WMS offers an updated version of the Bier Haus slot for online players. 

You can spin the reels for a mere $0.05 and unlock plenty of winning opportunities across 40 paylines. The Free Spins Bonus offers substantial gains, particularly when you secure Gold Dirndl Woman symbols that transform into Locking Wilds.

So, how does this classic stack up against newer video slots at online casinos? Join us for a refreshing beer and find out!

How to play Bier Haus

From the moment we loaded up the Bier Haus slot machine on our screen, the traditional Bavarian accordion music and stone-brick beer house setting put us in party mode. The game’s graphics are a little dated, but with the music blaring while you spin the reels, it’s still pretty immersive, and there’s fun to be had.

It was a little disappointing to see the Beir Haus slot resort to the well-used playing card suits for low-paying symbols, but the high-paying symbols are unique. You can land symbols of accordions, German castles, barrels of beer, acorns, and locals enjoying the fun. There is also the Dirndl Woman Scatter symbol and the Steins of Beer Wild symbol. Bier Haus’ 5x4 reels allow you to bet on 40 paylines, with the chance to bet up to $40, with the maximum you can win by betting this $100,000. This top prize, combined with the slot’s medium-high variance, will make it perfect for high rollers looking to score a win worth toasting to, even if the $40 maximum bet may be too low for some. The slot also has an RTP of 96.28%, so even lower-budget players can score regular wins to keep their bankrolls topped up, especially when you consider you can bet as little as $0.05.

Bier Haus jackpots and bonuses

You can trigger two variations of the same Free Spins Bonus while playing Bier Haus. You'll earn 5 free spins if you land five or more Dirndl Woman Scatters. While this is quite a tricky bonus to start, every scatter above the initial 5 needed gives you another 5 free spins, so you can quickly stack up opportunities to play without spending real money. You can get a maximum of 80 free spins from one bonus. Gold Dirndl Woman symbols also contribute towards earning the Free Spins Bonus. However, every Gold Dirndl symbol will become a Locking Wild, which will remain in place for the entire bonus round. As you can land more Gold Dirndl symbols during your free spins, you can end up with a significant number of Locking Wilds on your grid, providing more opportunities for wins.

Bier Haus mobile options

As Bier Haus is a port of a physical casino game online, we were a little apprehensive when trying the mobile slot platform. However, the game uses modern HTML5 technology and will adapt to your screen size on a mobile browser or app. Changing your bet value on mobile is challenging, as you have to tap through a few menus. However, this doesn’t detract from an overall smooth experience.

Conclusion

It’s always a nervous experience for slot fans trying out a land-based classic online, but we’re pleased to report that Bier Haus goes down as well as a cold beer on a hot day. The game lets you pull up a chair for as little as $0.05 and provides loads of ways to win with 40 paylines. The Free Spins Bonus can be very lucrative when playing at a real money casino, especially if you land any Gold Dirndl Woman symbols that become Locking Wilds. The original Bier Haus game came out in land-based casinos decades ago, so it’s no surprise the graphics are a little dated. Another symptom of the slot’s age is that it is a little slow from spin to spin. However, many gambling fans will still be eager to join this Oktoberfest celebration.
