Layout / Pay Anywhere Mechanics
The game runs 6 reels, 5 rows, and Pay Anywhere – symbols need 8+ matching across the grid to land a win. Cascades trigger after every payout: winning symbols drop, new ones fall, and the sequence continues until no more wins form.
Bets range €0.20 to €20 per spin, or up to €25 with the ante bet (Bet+25%). No wild symbols here – the slot leans on Big Symbols, Multiplier Symbols, and Flying Barrel to drive payouts.
Symbols / Paytable
The paytable splits into 4 high-value hobbits, 5 mid-range dishes, and 4 card suits. Each symbol tier pays differently based on symbol count (8-9, 10-11, 12+).
| Symbol | 12+ Count | 10-11 Count | 8-9 Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blond-Haired Hobbit | 50x | 25x | 10x |
| Ginger-Haired Hobbit | 25x | 10x | 2.50x |
| Red-Haired Hobbit | 15x | 5x | 2x |
| Black-Haired Hobbit | 12x | 2x | 1.50x |
| Roast Chicken | 10x | 1.50x | 1x |
| Lobster | 8x | 1.25x | 0.80x |
| Meat Dish | 5x | 1x | 0.50x |
| Fish Dish | 4x | 0.90x | 0.40x |
| Eggs & Bacon | 2x | 0.75x | 0.25x |
| Hearts | 0.50x | 0.25x | 0.05x |
| Spades | 0.50x | 0.25x | 0.05x |
| Diamonds | 0.50x | 0.25x | 0.05x |
| Clubs | 0.50x | 0.25x | 0.05x |
Big Symbols / Multiplier Symbols
Regular symbols land in 1×1, 2×2, or 3×3 sizes. Big Symbols pay as if they were 4 or 9 standard symbols stacked – a sharp tool for base-game payouts.
Multiplier Symbols carry values of x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x8, x10, x12, x15, x20, x25, x50, x100, or x250. They are additive: after cascades end, if at least one winning combo is on screen, all multipliers in that cascade sum and boost the total payout. Land multiple multipliers in one cascade, and the effect compounds.
Flying Barrel / Global Multiplier
Flying Barrel appears randomly during any spin (base or bonus). It hits a random reel and converts all non-winning symbols on that reel into Multiplier Symbols – a neat way to inject multipliers mid-cascade.
Barrel x2 and Barrel x3 are special symbols that increase the Global Multiplier value and transform into random regular symbols of their respective sizes. The Global Multiplier grows only when a winning combo is present, and it applies only when at least one Multiplier Symbol is also in view. This creates a trigger-rule-outcome chain: land Barrel x2 during cascades with a win present, the multiplier pool grows, and the next cascade multiplies harder.
Free Spins / Happy Hour
Land 4+ Gold Coin scatters to trigger 10 Free Spins. The Global Multiplier is active and carries forward – Multiplier Symbols, Barrel x2, and Barrel x3 all boost it during the bonus. Retrigger with 3+ scatters; up to 100 consecutive free spins per session are possible.
Trigger with 6 scatters from the base game, and you unlock Happy Hour mode. In Happy Hour, big wins land more often, the starting Global Multiplier jumps to x2-x10, and the max win ceiling lifts to 12000x the bet (vs. 5000x standard).
Bet+25% / Buy Bonus Menu
Two betting tools sit at the top:
| Feature | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Bet+25% | +25% of bet | Boost scatter frequency; standard payouts unchanged |
| Standard Bonus | 100x bet | 10 Free Spins; max 5000x |
| Happy Hour | 600x bet | 10 Happy Hour Free Spins; max 12000x |
| Mystery Bonus | 125-200x bet | Spin 3 Wheels to win 10 standard or Happy Hour Free Spins; max 12000x |
The Bet+25% side bet increases scatter odds without changing symbol payouts – a lower-friction way to chase the bonus. Buy Bonus lets players skip the wait: Standard Bonus is the baseline, Happy Hour is the high-roller play, and Mystery Bonus gambles the outcome.
RTP / Volatility / Max Win
RTP sits at 96.14%, solid for a high-volatility Pay Anywhere slot. Hit Frequency averages one natural bonus trigger every 375 spins. Max win is 5000x the bet in standard mode, 12000x via Happy Hour.
The slot’s volatility is steep – base game can feel flat between cascades, and Free Spins payouts depend heavily on multiplier stacking. But when multipliers align with cascades, the effect compounds fast.
Theme / Atmosphere
this slot Tavern wraps an Irish pub theme around the mechanics. Graphics and animation are polished throughout.
