Quest for Beer is a new online slot released in May, 2008. This slot machine was produced by the gambling tycoon Microgaming. They are the biggest online producer of casino software and have more than a 120 casinos with their games. Microgaming will be releasing more slot machines and video poker games this year, but for now the intricacies of Quest for Beer.
Quest for Beer is one of the hottest slots games online right now and not just because it’s a new machine. The title is one that intrigues a customer to play the online game added to the fun. This slot has 5 reels and 25 paylines. It has a video slot appearance that means the graphics are animated and there are pretty great sound effects to go along with the rounds.
Quest for Beer is based on the Viking era theme with Viking giants and golden beer. The wild is the beer tankard which will pay out more when a user plays the game. It also helps you get a payout if you lack one symbol. There are also free spins when you get the right symbol combination on the three reels. For a scatter Microgaming threw in the beer wench.
Added to the graphics and symbols are the bonus game features. A person playing this slot can get double the winnings or even 10 free spins. If 3 beer tankards are on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels at the same time you will enter into the bonus game round. There is also a re-trigger function for the free spin. In the bonus game if you get the 3 beer wench symbols on any reel and line you receive more of a payout.
Also in the bonus game is the axe throwing contest. In this contest the player is to throw axes at beer kegs. If the kegs are properly hit then an earnings of forty times will go to the player. Also there is a risky venture in the double and quadruple winnings feature. In this case the player can get 25,000 coins and double it to 50,000 coins during free spins, with an added bonus of 5,000 coins in the keg game round.
For an online slot game this is pretty hot since it has it all: the beer, women, and axe tossing. What guy wouldn’t like that? This slot is geared more towards the male online players, but don’t worry if you do not prefer the male option to the game. There are plenty more new slots from Microgaming coming in the next months, or there are the old standbys.
Keep checking back with Microgaming to know more of the online software games they will be creating in the nearest future. Days of the Tsar, Bomber Girls and Lucky Shot will all be released later in June for more play and fun.
