Slot machine details and review Golden Brew
Golden Brew is a slot you can find and play at online casinos that carry Endorphinaβs collection. The slotβs theme is inspired by Oktoberfest, the worldβs largest and most popular beer festival, taking place in Bavaria each year. The setup offers us 5×4 reels to spin, while the winning combinations form on 50 paylines.
Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.
A high volatility slot. Wins are rare, but can be really big. The game has more pronounced fluctuations and can often go without hitting anything for a long time, suitable for players who like adrenaline, higher risk and work with a larger budget. More about volatility here.
Slot theme and symbols
The look of Golden Brew is the right one for a beer-themed slot machine with five reels that aims to show off Bavariaβs traditions. From accordions as the musical instruments of choice, to decorated beer mugs, or delicious pretzels, you get plenty of what makes Oktoberfest interesting on the reels. In the background, the game features a charming local pub. Some symbols, such as the young beer maiden, are more notable than others, but overall, this is an Endorphina slot with a good design.
Golden Brew theme and symbols
Golden Brew is the sort of high volatility release that might make you check out the slot demo first. Itβs risky enough to play, and while the RTP is at 96.06%, the best prizes it can pay are on the lower side of whatβs expected. 1,400x the stake is the best top jackpot thatβs advertised for this game. Forming combinations is possible via 2+ or 3+ matching symbols aligned left to right on active paylines.

WILD symbol
The beer mug is an expanding wild, marked with the featureβs logo, which can only appear during major features (every 10 spins in Beer Pub or during free spins). It will take over the entire reel when it shows up, so you can form combinations on up to 50 lines at a time with its help. It doesnβt appear during paid spins, unfortunately.
Gold Coin symbol
The Gold Coin is a symbol that can appear during paid spins. These are collected by the Barrels shown at the top of the reels. You need two Gold Coins collected on the same reel to make the Barrel ready to be tapped.
Beer Pub Bonus Game
Every 10 spins, the game will look at the barrels ready to be tapped, which have collected 2 gold coins over that time. The game then taps the barrels where this happened, and beer will flow over the reel, turning it into a wild reel.
Scatter symbol
As for the Beer Barrel Scatter, it can appear on all reels, and itβs useful to you when itβs on a minimum of 3 reels. It will pay 2x to 200x the stake for 3 to 5 scatters.
Free Spins
Having 3, 4, or 5 scatters also means that you will get either 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. The game adds 2 to 4 Moving Wilds to the reels as you play this feature.
Risk Game (Gamble)
You have the option to gamble the amount you just won at the end of each successful spin. You activate the gambling feature to play a game of cards against the dealer. The one with the higher card wins. You either double your money for that round or lose it all.

Our rating of the game
Golden Brew
Itβs the right slot to play if itβs September, and you canβt visit Oktoberfest yourself. The graphics and the features are well enough made, but you will find that the experience is not a pleasant one when it comes to volatility. Itβs highly volatile, pays at most 1,400x the stake, and that should be enough to make lots of players skip it, even with the RTP at 96.06%.

How do we rate slot machines?
We evaluate slot machines based on multiple criteria, from which we make our final verdict.
Decent Oktoberfest-themed design, with a focus on music, food, beer, and Bavarian traditions.
Iβm OK with the 96.06% RTP thatβs mentioned for it, as a long-term percentage paid to players.
The Beer Pub Bonus, with the expanding wilds that can be added to the reels as a result.
A free spins feature with 2-4 moving wilds is included as the main feature offered inside.
You get 50 paylines, with winning combinations possible with as few as 2 symbols in some cases.
Cons
You will find it a risky game to play, thanks to the High volatility thatβs baked into it.
Particularly for a high volatility slot, I found the 1,400x top jackpot to be disappointing.
Regular combinations pay very little, with the top symbol offering at most 1.60x the stake for 5 positions occupied.
