On the reels, a six by five grid holds fruit and pub symbols with no paylines at all. A win forms when at least eight matching symbols land anywhere on the board. Winning symbols vanish, fresh ones drop from above, and the board is checked again until no new win appears. The whole chain pays out as one total, so one spin can settle several rounds of wins.
Four, five or six Scatter pretzels anywhere on the grid start Free Spins. Three or more Scatters during that round add five spins, and a multiplier barrel joins the reels. Chance x2 is an optional toggle that costs a quarter more of the total bet and makes Free Spins more likely. Buy Bonus is another way in, and the two switch each other off.
The bonus buy costs 100 times the total bet, so its price follows your stake and the table shows the money at the top example bet.

Each spin on the reels returns a share of the stake; that share is the RTP. The table shows it per A$100 staked. The version Star Casino runs is listed in the game rules.
| Version | RTP | Set by BGaming |

| Variant 2 | 96.00% | No |

Round rules
Wondering how the bonus starts? Each mode below says exactly how it begins.
On the reels, Chance x2 is a paid toggle: +25% of the total bet, for example A$0.20 to A$0.25. It raises the natural probability of triggering Free Spins without a separate screen. While active, the SPIN icon gains a white star. It is mutually exclusive with Buy Bonus.
Base gameFree Spins chance
4, 5 or 6 Scatter pretzels on the reels start 10, 20 or 30 Free Spins. Three or more Scatters in the feature retrigger +5 spins. A multiplier barrel appears only here, and the cascading refill continues. Buy Bonus costs 100x the total bet at a fixed price.

Winning symbols on the 6x5 grid vanish, the board refills from above, and this repeats until no new win appears. The whole chain's win is posted at once. Multiple wins in a spin are summed.

Game screens
Star Casino shows each screen the way the game draws it, plainly and without fuss.
Five steps, one round
Useful before the first spin, when you want to see how a round unfolds.
The 6x5 grid stays still until you pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$12. Every win scales with that stake, so at A$0.50 the largest possible win is A$7,500.
On the 6x5 board, eight or more matching symbols form a win. Winning symbols vanish, the board refills from above, and the chain repeats until no new win appears.
Golden pretzels land anywhere on the board and count as Scatters without lines. The Multiplier barrel stays out of the base game and shows up only in free spins.
On the reels, four, five or six golden pretzels start the Free Spins with 10, 20 or 30 spins, and three or more pretzels inside add five more spins.
When the chain of wins stops, the reels settle. Set your budget before the first spin since no session result can be known in advance.
On the 6x5 grid, each spin decides whether golden pretzel Scatters land anywhere on the board, and four or more of them start Free Spins. How often that happens cannot be known in advance. The result of one session is random too, whatever the RTP version. A player can see the RTP as a long-run figure, but it does not predict a single evening at the reels.
Each spin on the reels runs on one of the three RTP versions of the game, and the rules screen is the only place that names the version in use. Read those rules before you decide how much to stake.
Winning symbols on the 6x5 grid vanish and refill, so a single spin can chain several wins. The top prize, x15,000 the bet, sits at the far end of that chain. It is a ceiling reached very rarely, not an expected result.
Spins on the reels are for adults: you must be 18+ to play. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or self-exclude through BetStop.
Each cascade on the reels can feel quick, so set a fixed budget before you spin.
A win that cascades across the reels can tempt you on, so decide your stop point before you spin, and keep it after a big win too.
Each spin on the reels adds to your total, so set deposit and loss limits in your account first.
When the reels stop feeling fun, take a break and return only when you feel like playing.
Beer Bonanza peers
Many players assume all slots play alike, so these other titles offer a quick check.
Understand the game
At Star Casino, every figure is shown before you bet, so you can decide calmly.
A single win can reach x15,000 of the bet on Beer Bonanza. At the highest bet of A$12 that is A$180,000, and at the example bet of A$0.50 it is A$7,500. How often a win of that size lands cannot be known in advance.
Pressing the Buy Bonus button starts the Free Spins at once for 100 times the total bet. At the example bet of A$0.50 that costs A$50. Buy Bonus and Chance x2 cannot be active together, because each disables the other's button.
Every round on the 6x5 grid follows one of three RTP versions: 95.97%, 96.00% or 96.03%. RTP is the average return over a very large number of spins, so it says nothing about the result of one session.
Every bet on the reels starts from A$0.20 and can go up to A$12. Every feature price is a multiple of the bet you choose, so the Ante Bet costs 1.25 times the total bet. Examples on this page use A$0.40 and A$0.50.
