Zicke Zacke Slot Overview

Zicke Zacke is a new casino slot from Stakelogic, where we get to travel to the German Oktoberfest, a festival full of beer, beer, and beer! The Oktoberfest is an annual folk festival in Munich, Germany, but it is also celebrated worldwide. It’s a 17-day festival, and around 7 million liters of beer are served during that, just in Germany. So, why is this game called Zicke Zacke? Well, it’s a famous chant during the Oktoberfest that goes something like: “Zicke Zacke Zicke Zacke Hoi Hoi Hoi”. We’re not entirely sure what happens after that, but we assume they…drink. Alright, class, the cultural lesson is now over; let’s take a look at the game!

Zicke Zacke is a video slot from Stakelogic featuring 5 reels, 4 rows, and 20 paylines. You can choose between a Min.bet of 0.20 and a Max.bet of 80. It has an above-average RTP of 96.20%, high volatility, and a max win of 5000x the bet.

There are some great features to help guide you through this exuberant slot game. The features are Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Beer Tower, Free Spins, Super Stake, and Bonus Buy.

Zicke Zacke Slot Information

The Oktoberfest is not a very common theme in slots. We’ve seen it a few times before in games such as Heidi at Oktoberfest and Lucky Oktoberfest, but Zicke Zacke takes it to a new level. It’s a pretty slot with colorful visuals. The game seems to be located in a small town, but since the real Festival takes place in Munich, we’ll go with that. The sky is blue, the beers are ready, and the music is festive. It’s an all-around great setting! You can experience the game on all common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more matching symbols within the 20 lines, from left to right.

The lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A. 5-of-a-kind with one of these pays 2.5x-5x the original bet. The higher-paying symbols fit better with the theme, being four different types of beer. A full line with one of them pays 10x-50x the original bet. The beer trend continues with the game’s wild symbol, which is a woman carrying 3 beers. She substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter symbol, enabling more connections. Lastly, we have the scatter. It’s a man with a hat carrying coasters, and you need 3 or more to trigger the free spins. Now, it’s time to look at the features!

Zicke Zacke Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Zicke Zacke?

You can win up to 5,000x the bet.

What features are available in the slot Zicke Zacke?

The features are Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Beer Tower, Free Spins, Super Stake, and Bonus Buy.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol creates more winning combinations by substituting for all other symbols, except the scatters and the collector symbols during free spins.

Scatter Symbol

Scatter symbols are available on all reels, and landing 3 or more will trigger the free spins. More than 3 scatters will result in more free spins.

Beer Tower

The beer tower feature will be triggered when 4 wild symbols land on top of each other on a reel. It awards 3 re-spins in which the wild reel is locked. When the re-spins are over and the beer empty, there is a chance that it offers a refill, which resets the spins.

Free Spins

The free spins are triggered when you land 3 or more scatters. There are 3 different types of free spins, which will be chosen in the pick-and-click game, where you select a coaster to reveal the feature.

The available features are sticky wilds, where all wilds you land are locked on the reels, like in Dead or Alive 2. Dropping wilds, in which the wilds fall down one position every spin. And lastly, expanding wilds, where the wilds expand to fill the reel they land on. During the free spins, you also collect collector symbols, which fill up a collection bar. The multiplier is increased for every 4 collected collector symbols, and you are awarded an extra 5 spins. There are five steps off the collection bar: 2x multiplier, 3x multiplier, 5x multiplier, 10x multiplier, and 20x multiplier. When the multiplier reaches 20x, the collection bar stops filling up.

3 Scatters = 8 free spins with sticky wilds, 10 free spins with dropping wilds, or 12 free spins with expanding wilds.

4 Scatters = 12 free spins with sticky wilds, 14 free spins with dropping wilds, or 16 free spins with expanding wilds.

5 Scatters = 18 free spins with sticky wilds, 20 free spins with dropping wilds, or 22 free spins with expanding wilds.

Super Stake

You can activate the super stake for 2x the original bet. The super stake doubles your chances of triggering free spins and beer tower features during the base game.

Bonus Buy

If you want to jump straight into the free spins, you can do so by buying them directly. You will be offered the following 4 choices and costs:

3 Scatters = 100x the bet

4 Scatters = 200x the bet

5 Scatters = 400x the bet

A random number of Scatters = 150x the bet

Zicke Zacke Slot Conclusion

Zicke Zacke is an incredibly festive slot. It actually made us look at train tickets to Munich, so perhaps this is just a big PR move by the German government. The folk music creates a fantastic atmosphere, and the visuals also live up to that. This is probably the best Octoberfest-themed slot yet, both in its gameplay, graphics, and setting.

Many providers struggle with making exciting base games. We wouldn’t say that Zicke Zacke has the most engaging one, but the beer towers still make its base game somewhat interesting. The premium symbols pay decently, so the wild reels that can be created offer good potential. We don’t demand that providers lay all their effort into the base game, but it’s important that they spice it up a little, as Stakelogic has done here.

All that aside, the free spins are certainly the bread and butter of Zicke Zacke. We love that the game’s core is its wilds and that they have created 3 different bonuses using them in different ways. The different bonus buys are also a big plus, where you can tailor the free spins by deciding how many you want and how much you want to pay. Lastly, Zicke Zacke has solid stats. It plays at an above-average RTP, high volatility, and a decent max win of 5,000x the bet.

Zicke Zacke is a festive game where we attend the Octoberfest and drink our way to riches!
