Reels and bet controls
The captured interface separates LINES, COINS/LINE and BET. In the scatter example, 25 lines at 10 coins per line produce a 250-coin total stake. The denomination is 0.01, making that stake 2.50 in the displayed monetary unit. No currency symbol is shown, so it should not automatically be described as dollars or euros.
A scatter payout you can check
Two highlighted woman scatter symbols appear on reels four and five. The message awards 250 coins, equal to the pictured total stake: 250 × 0.01 = 2.50 in denomination units. The WIN field also reads 250. This recorded return covers the 250-coin stake, giving a net result of zero for this pictured result. It is a one-times-total-stake scatter award, not 250 times the stake.
That two-scatter result is separate from the feature trigger. The rule printed below the reels says the Axe Throwing feature starts when three or more of the woman symbols appear. The capture verifies this example, but does not display the complete symbol paytable or the awards for every scatter count.
The Axe Throwing feature
The feature changes from the reels to a selection screen with five tankards and axe artwork. Its visible instruction is to pick a tankard. Five visible choices do not establish that the player receives five throws: the captured screen does not show the full instructions, the number of allowed picks or the prize range. Those details must be checked in the edition’s help rather than inferred from the artwork.
Free spins
The rule printed on the reel screen says the Free Spins feature is triggered when a beer tankard appears anywhere on reels two, three and four at the same time. These are specific reels; three tankards in other positions are not the stated trigger.
The capture confirms a free-spin mode and its remaining-spins counter. It does not establish the original number awarded, an automatic win multiplier or whether the feature can retrigger. The FEATURE WINS value is a feature counter, not a paytable award for the symbols currently on screen.
Edition and payout limits
The screenshots verify the 25-line layout, the two printed feature triggers and the worked scatter result. They do not verify a complete line-pay table, every stake setting, a maximum possible win or a certified RTP for an accessible version. Consult the rules of the actual release for those values. A historical review or screenshot is not evidence that a casino currently offers the game.
Quest for Beer questions
Who made the version shown here?
The historical desktop screen is credited to Microgaming. This review applies to that pictured version.
How many reels and paylines are shown?
Five reels, three visible rows and 25 numbered paylines are shown.
Do two scatters trigger Axe Throwing?
No. The pictured two-scatter result pays 250 coins at a 250-coin stake. The printed feature rule requires three or more woman scatter symbols.
Which reels trigger free spins?
The displayed rule requires a tankard anywhere on each of reels two, three and four at the same time.
Does the 250-coin win mean a 250-times-stake payout?
No. With a 250-coin total stake, it is a one-times-stake return. At the displayed 0.01 denomination, both stake and return are 2.50 in the same unit.
Are there five throws in the bonus?
The screenshot shows five tankards to choose from, but does not state the number of throws. The full feature rules are needed to answer that.
