ABOUT
Benny the Beer is serving luck by the pint! Crack open a cold one in Hacksaw Gaming’s Oktoberfest-themed slot game and get ready for a thrilling ride. Overflowing with features, this frothy brew of a game invites you on an exhilarating journey. With powerful features like the Stackways, the opportunities to win big are endless!
Betting Options and Bonus Features
The vibrant slot game plays out on a 5x4 grid which can expand to a breathtaking maximum of 100,000 paylines, offering exhilarating possibilities. Benny the Beer hosts a total of 9 regular symbols, including four-card ranks J - A and 5 high-paying symbols such as locks, clocks, cameras, bombs, and Benny himself. However, it is important to note that the game does not involve Wilds and thus won't provide any substitutes for the symbols in the base game or free spins.
At the heart of Benny the Beer lies an innovative Hacksaw Gaming feature called the StackWays mechanic. This feature flings open the door to bigger winning opportunities with every spin. Moreover, there are two unique versions of Benny the Beer free spins - Book of StackWays and Super Book StackWays - which enhance the gameplay and boost winnings.
The StackWays feature includes Normal and Revealing StackWays symbols that can appear on any of the reels. The Normal StackWays symbols have values of 1, 2, 3, or 4 and Revealing StackWays show a random selection from 5 to 10 values.
Once you manage to trigger the StackWays feature, the respective reels will become enhanced and turn into beer mugs slowly filled with delicious ale. This will automatically choose the symbol that grants the longest possible winning combination and stack it with the corresponding number of StackWays, allowing for some insane winning moments.
The Book of StackWays also allows you to unlock 10 free spins if 3 bonus symbols are landed on the reels simultaneously. This feature then selects two special symbols at the beginning of the round, which can trigger an expansion on their corresponding reels. Two to ten symbols will then stack up on the reels, award-winning combinations as if they were connected to each other at all times.
A step up from Book of StackWays is the Super Book of StackWays feature. This is triggered either by landing 4 bonus symbols in the base game or through an upgrade during the regular Book of StackWays feature. The crucial distinction here is that instead of two special symbols, four special symbols are selected at the start of the round, thereby increasing the stackable symbols and enhancing the winning chances even more.
Benny the Beer also features a variety of bonus buy options to the mix. Overall, you’ll find 5 optional game modes purchasable for a flat fee:
- Bonushunt Featurespins - For 3x your stake, increase your chances to trigger the bonus game by five times.
- Double Stack Featurespins - For 25x your stake, be guaranteed to land at least 2 StackWays symbols.
- Triple stack Featurespins - For 75x your stake, be guaranteed to land at least 3 StackWays symbols.
- Book of StackWays - Unlock the bonus game for 120x your stake.
- Super Book of StackWays - Unlock the upgraded version of the bonus game for 300x your stake.
Roshtein’s Take
Hacksaw just doesn’t miss! The StackWays feature really delivers in terms of fun and excitement, making the full-screen payouts on Benny The Beer slot that much more thrilling. However, I would love to see a more polished version of this release as it shows huge potential for something extraordinary with its unique theme and numerous features.
