The graphics is a typical Rival work, namely, it’s neither exceptional nor bad looking but it’s very appropriate to interpret of the game but the design of symbols I think it’ not the best made. Sometimes I have a feeling at specific games even if the pictograms alone are nice and well-drawn but combining all of them to one whole unit somehow doesn’t bring the wished result and the overall big picture visually isn’t too effective and powerful. This is the case here too where I think the figures don’t harmonize with each other too well and I guess it’s because they’re a little bit oversized and the little background images on the pictograms are very different (for example the colourful chequered table covers or the also multi-coloured decorative leaves) and sometimes the entire screen looks like just a kaleidoscopic mixture. Otherwise, it’s really a fresh, joyful interface and definitely produces that kind of mood where I like to be involved and despite all of my doubts regarding to the displaying scheme I still can appreciate it.

I can’t say that the capability of the highest paying line win would be shocking as it is just 2500 times of line bet and the next best paying win is worth only 400 credits and this is a main concern here as the combination relative poor rewarding ones. The appearing tendency of them is also not too great and this two very important but here not too great qualities really negatively influences the play sessions during normal game. Unfortunately, the Wild can’t really compensate it as it has just limited functions and appears only on the first two reels, but true, it may become expending Wild if that move causes a win but doesn’t bring any win multiplier to the screen. This is also a questionable function symbol for me as it’s not really doing its job and there are sequences when it doesn’t appear on the reels at all and I tend to forget that the game actually is working with a substituting figure.

My absolute best part of the game is free spin feature which luckily presents the well-known and loved Rival’s quality and I always considered this kind of feature as one of the best Rival attribute built in the games. So we have to collect at least 3 Scatters anywhere on the reels (sadly Scatter doesn’t have own paying ability) then 10, 20 or incredible 50 extra games are provided to play where all wins are counted by tripled value. Without a question this is the most profitable part of the game and I always feel some kind of increased excitement when I see that’s coming. Usually this is a very correct bonus and the average return here is never less than x20-x40 of the total bet but if we’re lucky enough to re-trigger the feature, that’s really quite something. Once it happened to me when first I got 4 triggering symbols so I started the session with 20 games and later another series were added and during the cumulative 30 spins there were 3 five of a kind type wins and lot of smaller ones and at the end of the side game my balance increased roughly with €250.

3 or more Girls characters on the reels trigger the traditional bonus game where we have to serve drinks to the customers and have to pick a barrel out of 4 what we like to use to fill up the beer pitchers. The excitement factor isn’t in the sky at this bonus as every barrel selection gives us instant bonus credits around 300-1500 and at the end of this secondary game they’re combined and multiplied by the coin value to determine the final won amount. Because the coin denomination is in use here and your average total bets are around €1 per spin I advise to use €0.05 line bet instead of €0.01 (using 6 coins to total of €1.20) to maximize the potential winnable prize at bonus.

There are many good and bad things here what I’ve already mentioned so I won’t repeat them all again here but the 2 more important what I like here is the great and pleasant atmosphere what the game creates and the profitable, potential rich free spin session. These are the main reason why I still return here from time to time and that’s why I like this product. If I see the game as a unit I don’t think it would be much more than a solid and decent but overall average video slot and of course I easily can name more than one thing that would require upgrade here which would help the game to break out from this caste but even in this form the slot is very playable and at least for me it can give some kind of entertainment and most of the time I enjoy my spent time here.

ll Wild Reels on reels 1, 2 and 3 are definitely much better than Wild Reels on reels 1, 3 and 5 (as in a number of GameArt games), which do not have good winning potentials due to their separation. However, I have yet to get all 3 Wild Reels in any of my plays so far, so I haven't seen or experienced such a thrill as yet. Maybe next time, as one would say, but that's rather unlikely, simply because I don't play this game regularly! Hahaha.

That big horn, whatever its name is, is the Scatter symbol, awarding 15, 25 or 50 free spins, but without any multipliers, except for wins with any Wild symbol, which are paid doubled. Getting 3, 4 or 5 more Scatters during the free spins would award another 15, 25 or 50 free spins, but the Wilds would tripled any wins. Honestly speaking, this isn't that good, and I would have preferred having 3x and 4x multipliers instead.

Nonetheless, during the retriggered free spins, getting 3 or more of the Barmaid symbols, which can only appear during these free spins, a Barmaid Bonus game would be awarded, for more winning chances. On top of that, getting 3, 4 or 5 of this Barmaid would also pay additional wins of up to 25x total bet. That's really 3 feature games from one initial trigger of 3 or more of those Horn Scatter symbols, but getting all 3 features within any one trigger has never an easy achievement, certainly not for me! If I am not mistaken, I have only got it once, some years back, and I can't even remember how that Bonus game would play and pay.

Well, after all that has been said about this Roll Out The Barrels game, it is still not one of my favourite games to play, even though it has some fairly good winning potentials. Getting 5 of the highest paying symbol, the Barman, for example, would pay 100x total bet in the base game, and up to 300x during the free spins, but to me personally, this is just not good enough! Hehehe.
