To play, all you have to do is set your bet amount and spin.

There is an auto-play feature that enables you to automate a number of spins while you grab another beer from the fridge. Reels keep spinning until you hit a bonus or you exhaust the number of spins you had set. A unique symbol in this game is the 10x multiplier symbol. If you happen to complete a win with 4 or more of these symbols, you get 10x your stake. Seeing that there are no paylines, there is no paytable and rules are simple.
