A 6x5 grid with no paylines, dressed in fruit and pub symbols. A win needs at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the board. Winning symbols vanish, new symbols drop in from above, and the cascade repeats until no new win forms. The total of the whole chain is paid at once. Beer Bonanza is a video slot from BGaming, and its cascades are the main mechanic of the base game.
Four, five or six golden pretzel Scatters anywhere on the grid start 10, 20 or 30 Free Spins. Inside the feature, three or more Scatters add 5 spins. Multiplier barrels appear only there. Chance x2 is a paid toggle that raises the natural chance of a Free Spins trigger. Buy Bonus is the other route in, and it cannot run alongside Chance x2.
Right before you spin
It removes the worry about not knowing what the grid and bonus screens look like.
100 times the total bet is the price of the Free Spins buy, so at A$5 it costs A$500.
| Add-on | Cost | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Bonus: Free Spins | x100 · A$500 | – |
Per A$100 staked, the return to player is the share paid back over a long run, not a result of any single session. The version this game runs is shown in its game rules.
| Payback | RTP | Provider's choice |
|---|---|---|
| Variant 1 | 96.03% | No |
| Variant 2 | 96.00% | No |
| Variant 3 | 95.97% | Supported |
Three states to know
It settles how the free spins start, how many you get, and what Chance x2 changes.
Chance x2 starts when you switch on the paid toggle. The bet rises by 25% of the total bet, for example from A$0.20 to A$0.25. The SPIN icon gains a white star while active. No separate round or screen opens. The toggle raises how likely Free Spins trigger.
Base game spinsHigher trigger chance
Four, five or six golden pretzels anywhere on the grid trigger Free Spins. They give 10, 20 or 30 Free Spins. In the feature, 3 or more Scatters retrigger +5 spins. A multiplier barrel appears on the reels only here. The cascading refill runs as in the base game.
Base game spinsFree Spins
The 6x5 grid pays anywhere, with no paylines. When a win forms, its winning symbols vanish, the board refills from above, and this repeats until no new win appears. The whole chain's win is posted at once. Multiple simultaneous wins in one spin are added together.

Five steps per round
After reading this, you will know how each round runs from bet to payout.
Set the bet between A$0.20 and A$12 before you spin. Each win is a multiple of that bet, so a higher stake raises every payout.
Eight matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid make a win, with no paylines. Winning symbols vanish, the board refills from above, and the chain repeats until no new win forms.
Tumble is the cascade that refills the grid after each win. Scatter Pays counts golden pretzels anywhere on the board, and multiplier barrels appear only in free spins.
4, 5 or 6 golden pretzels anywhere on the grid start 10, 20 or 30 free spins. Three or more pretzels during the bonus add 5 more spins.
Set your budget before the first spin, because each spin takes the full bet from your balance. At A$5 a spin, a round without a win costs A$5 of balance.
Four, five or six pretzel Scatters start the Free Spins, but how often that happens is not known in advance. The bonus round can stay away for a long stretch or arrive twice in a few spins. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a long run can fall far below the expected return and a short one can land far above it.
Three RTP versions exist for Beer Bonanza, and the game rules are the only place that shows which one is running. The gap between the lowest and highest version is 0.06 percentage points, a small difference that is still worth confirming. Check that line before you start a session.
x15,000 the bet is the most Beer Bonanza can pay in one round, and that ceiling is reached very rarely. The figure is a ceiling, not a target that a session is built to reach. Expect that a big win is the exception, not the usual result.
Beer Bonanza
You will know how the demo differs from real play and what an account requires.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing; the real game needs an account at Joefortune Casino and you must be 18 or older.
Play for realYou must be 18 or older to play here. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or sign up to BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can lose before opening the game, and write it down. Stop when that amount is gone, even if the next spin looks small.
Choose when you stop before spinning, and keep to it after a win. A win can make the next bet feel safe, so set the end early.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you play. Set them low enough that a bad session cannot empty your balance.
Take a break as soon as the game stops being fun, and do not chase losses. If you want to stop for longer, register with BetStop.
Beer Bonanza answers
Useful when you are checking the figures before placing your first bet on this game.
Three RTP versions exist, and the table shows the return for each. RTP is the share of staked money paid back over a very long run, not in one session. A higher version returns more on average, but it does not decide what any single spin pays.
15,000 times the bet is the highest win this slot can pay. At the highest bet allowed here, that ceiling is shown in money in the figures table. Wins close to it are rare because volatility is high.
4, 5 or 6 Scatter symbols (the golden pretzel) anywhere on the 6x5 grid start the free spins. They give 10, 20 or 30 free spins. During free spins, 3 or more Scatters add 5 more spins.
A$0.20 is the lowest bet, so each spin costs little to start. Read the paytable and the modes on this page before you bet real money.
