Heidi’s Bier Haus slot review (WMS)

Everyone that loves beer and slots knows the Bier Haus slot by WMS, of course

This Bier Haus slot pays homage to the Bavarian Oktoberfest and is immensely popular. Not only has that spawned innumerable inferior imitations, but also official sequels. This Heidi’s Bier Haus is one of the latter, and you can play this slot on the casino floors of Las Vegas and online.

Heidi’s Bier Haus has all the old familiar faces: the good-natured Heidi, the moustachioed Alps dweller, Hans in his lederhosen and also a freight load of delicious, ice-cold beer.

Heidi herself is in charge of the beer taps and turns whole reels into beer. And beer, in this case, is code for wilds.

Heidi’s Bier Haus’s free spin bonus consists of the tried and true free spins with sticky Heidi wilds, but it also has some additional fun features such as extra wilds and big prizes.

How does Heidi’s Bier Haus slot work?

There are 6 reels with 4 rows of symbols. You always play with all paylines active, and there are 50 of them in total. The minimum bet is $€ 0.75, and the maximum bet is $€ 45 per spin.

As far as the variance is concerned, we estimate it to be at a medium level. The theoretical payout rate is 96.13%. That is entirely satisfactory, especially when compared to the land-based edition of this slot. The Vegas version only has a payout rate between 88% and 92 %. So, you are better off playing the online version of Heidi’s Bier Haus.

Symbols and payouts

All the symbols that are part of the original Bier Haus make their return in this game. That is very clever by WMS because it means you understand precisely how this slot works. On top of that, you know which symbols are the high-value ones (read high payout!).

The beer mugs are the wild symbols and replace all other symbols, except for the Heidi’s. 6 wilds on an active payline will pay out 2.66 x the total bet.

Next up are the Hans symbols: 6 of these bad boys will net you a payout of 2 x the bet.

Other premium symbols are the Bier Stube (the beer hall, the uninitiated), the beer mug and the accordion. These all pay out at a rate of 1.33 x the bet.

All other symbols will pay out between 0.66 x and 1 x the bet.

Every one of the symbols is stacked, which will lead to dozens of the same combinations occurring regularly.

Tapper- function

Heidi takes her job as a barmaid very serious. So, she pulls the beer taps with regularity, turning the whole reel wild. She can turn up to six reels wild, so you better make sure to be nice to Heidi.

Free spin bonus

The Heidi symbols play an essential part in this game. These beautiful, shapely young ladies activate the free spin bonus.

As soon as you spin 5 or more consecutive Heidi’s, you win the free spins: a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 100.

Also, the purple and red Heidi’s possess extra qualities:

• Purple Heidi’s change into sticky wilds for the duration of the spins
• A red Heidi triggers the Bier Haus Wheel.

The Bier Haus Wheel

If you spin a winning combination with Heidi’s and one of them is a red Heidi, you are extra lucky. Not only did you win the free spin bonus, but you are also entitled to spin the Bier Haus Wheel.

There are all sorts of fascinating extra’s on this wheel – which one will you land on?

• Win one of the 4 jackpots + an extra spin
• Win 5, 7 or 10 extra free spins
• Win 3 Hans Bonus rounds – extra wilds!
