Benny the Beer

Benny the Beer is a Hacksaw Gaming slot built on a 5-reel, 4-row layout with ways wins and the provider's Stackways mechanic. Its cheerful beer-keg character and forest Biergarten setting frame a game that combines stacked matching symbols with Book-style free spins.

The listed win type is 100,000 Ways, while the maximum win is 10,000 times the bet. According to the game data, that ceiling can be reached in the base game, Book of Stackways, or Super Book of Stackways.

Benny the Beer has a volatility rating of 3 out of 5. The game data lists several RTP configurations: 96.17%, 94.17%, 92.28%, and 88.26. Players checking a live version should confirm which configuration is being used.

The maximum available win is 10,000x the stake. This cap is not limited to a single bonus round, since it is listed as achievable through the base game and both Book of Stackways modes.

Two types of Stackways symbols can cover a reel with identical matching symbols. A Normal Stackways symbol can form a stack up to four rows high, while a Revealing Stackways symbol can fill the entire reel with a matching stack up to 10 symbols in length.

The game chooses the symbol to stack by looking at the longest winning length among the wins already present. A stack is only created when the resulting symbol arrangement can produce a win, making Stackways part of the win evaluation rather than a purely visual reel modifier.

Book of Stackways begins with 10 free spins and randomly selects two pay symbols as Special symbols. When either selected symbol appears across three or more reels, it can stack up to 10 rows high. The values shown beneath the reels determine the respective stack sizes.

If both Special symbols form a win during the same spin, they stack in sequence. The lower-value symbol is handled first, followed by the other selected symbol.

The round can be retriggered. Landing two FS symbols adds two free spins, while three FS symbols awards four more. Four FS symbols upgrade the feature to Super Book of Stackways and add four spins to the remaining total.

Super Book of Stackways can be triggered by landing four FS symbols in the base game or by upgrading the regular Book feature. This version selects four random pay symbols as Special symbols instead of two.

Whenever one of the selected symbols lands across at least three reels, it stacks according to the values displayed beneath those reels. If several Special symbols qualify on the same spin, they stack one at a time, beginning with the lowest-paying symbol.

Where available, the Bonus Buy menu allows direct entry into free spins in exchange for a fee. Benny the Beer also includes BonusHunt FeatureSpins, which provide five times the normal odds of triggering a bonus game for a cost equal to 3x the stake.

Other paid FeatureSpins choices modify the guaranteed Stackways activity. A 25x fee guarantees two Stackways symbols of any type, while 75x guarantees at least three Stackways symbols during the spin.

The listed direct-feature prices are 120x the bet for 10 Book of Stackways free spins and 300x for 10 Super Book of Stackways free spins.

The Benny the Beer demo provides a useful way to study how Normal and Revealing Stackways symbols differ. In particular, watch whether a stack is limited to four rows or reveals a full reel of up to 10 matching symbols.

During Book of Stackways, note which two pay symbols are selected and how the values below the reels control their stack heights. In the Super feature, the main change to track is the expansion from two to four Special symbols.

The demo also makes the retrigger rules easier to follow: two FS symbols add two spins, three add four spins, and four upgrade the regular bonus to Super Book of Stackways while adding four more spins.

Benny the Beer centers its gameplay on the interaction between ways wins, conditional reel stacks, and randomly selected Special symbols. The base game introduces two Stackways types, while the two Book modes increase the number of opportunities for selected symbols to cover reels.

The key specifications are a 5-reel, 4-row format, 100,000 Ways, volatility rated at 3 out of 5, several listed RTP configurations, and a 10,000x maximum win. Before playing any available version, check its active RTP setting and whether the optional Bonus Buy and FeatureSpins menus are offered.
