R. Franco Digital marks Oktoberfest with Book of Beer slot launch

R. Franco Digital has launched Book of Beer, a new online slot set in a German beer hall, timed to coincide with the Oktoberfest festival.

The game uses a 5x3 grid decorated with Bavarian imagery such as accordions, pretzels, pints of beer and feather hats. Menu symbols act as both wilds, helping to form winning combinations, and scatters, with three or more triggering a bonus round of ten free spins.

Expanding symbol mechanic

At the start of the free spins round, one symbol is designated as an expanding icon. Each time it lands during the bonus feature, it fills the reel it appears on, which the developer says is designed to boost win potential.

In jurisdictions where permitted, players will also have the option to buy direct entry into the free spins feature for 100 times the base stake.

Javier Sacristán Franco, International Business Director at R. Franco Digital, said the title was designed to bring the spirit of one of the world’s largest festivals into online gaming, combining expanding wilds with strong win potential. He added that the release was timed to align with the Oktoberfest period and that the company anticipated a positive response from players.
