Beer Bonanza Slot Review
With a slot machine named Beer Bonanza, the reputable and long-standing BGAMING has chosen to take on the well-liked Oktoberfest theme and include it in the Bonanza series. The game is played on 6x5 field without pay lines. Instead, it makes use of the Pay Anywhere payout mechanism, which requires 8+ matching symbols to be found anywhere on the playing area in order to win. The audiovisuals of the game, however, are a bit disappointing, and it's obvious that the creators didn't put much effort into making the environment appealing. You see, this isn't actually a slot machine with an Oktoberfest theme. Instead, the production qualities are decidedly subpar, and the game is a fruit slot with a few beer symbols tossed in. Indeed, it's a pity, but what can we do?

Beer Bonanza Slot Verdict
Although you can try to evaluate the fascinating game process with which Beer Bonanza comes, we are confused by the presentation of the slot. There is nothing terrible or beautiful in this, but it is clear that the designers did not waste time thinking about the appearance of things. The gameplay is standard for the Bonanza series and does not differ in any way from Wild West Bonanza. Mathematical fashion is the same without any changes. Thus, we can recommend a slot only to players who do not mind poorly worked-out slots.
