Butterfly Staxx Slot Review
Upbeat slot games are fun; however, at times you just need a change of pace. This is exactly what Butterfly Staxx has to offer. This 5 reel, 4 row video slot by NetEnt is set against a peaceful nature landscape and its reels have the most beautiful pink, blue and purple flowers all over.
However, this slot has much more to offer than just amazing graphics. It comes with just the right amount of additional features to make the game fun but not overwhelming. In fact, it only has two special features: Re-Spins and Butterfly Spins, of which Butterfly Spins are the most exciting as you get to see active cocoons transform into butterflies. These butterflies are what eventually form winning symbol combinations. Wins can occur across 40 fixed bet lines, which means there are countless matching combination possibilities. Give Butterfly Staxx a spin for a relaxing yet fun gaming experience.
Gameplay
Butterfly Staxx slot is a video slot by NetEnt that features 5 reels and 4 rows. Add to that a relatively large number of paylines, 40 fixed, and you know you could potentially win some serious cash.
The maximum stake in this slot is €400 and the minimum is set at 0.20. However, players have the option of adjusting their bet to an amount that suits them. This can be done by simply selecting a bet level from 1 to 10, and deciding how much you want your coin value to be. Coin values range from €0.01 to €2. Bet levels refer to the number of coins that you will be betting for every two lines.
The reels can be spun manually or you can set autospin. This means that the reels will spin automatically for the number of games you have selected. Wins are paid out when matching symbol combinations appear on adjacent reels from left to right. The slot also has a wild that can help form even more winning situations. Additionally, the game also has a few special features that spice up gameplay, which may or may not involve active and dormant cocoons. You would have to keep reading to find out.
Additional Game Features
Check out the butterfly effect with these awesome features:
Wild – The wild in this slot is a flower. However, to clear up any confusion the word “wild” is written across the bottom in glowing lettering. The wild can substitute any symbol in a matching symbol combination in the main game, except for the scatter. It can also appear anywhere on the reels during the Re-Spins round.
Re-Spins – A Re-Spins round is activated when the butterfly symbol is stacked and covering an entire reel. During this feature all the butterflies that land on the reels move over to leftmost position on their row (unless that position already has a butterfly), where it remains until Re-Spins has ended. Each new butterfly awards an extra re-spin. When no new butterflies appear all wins are paid out.
Butterfly Spins – Butterfly spins get activated when three or more scatters appear on the reels during the main game. The more scatters, the more butterfly spins. During this feature only cocoon symbols (either active or dormant) appear on the reels. All active cocoons turn into butterflies. Like the Re-Spin feature all butterflies move over to the leftmost position of the row (unless it already contains a butterfly), where it remains until the feature ends.
Butterfly Staxx Slot Game Design
Butterfly Staxx is probably the most girly slot you will ever encounter unless you already know Fairy Queen. As mentioned in the title the butterfly is the most important character/symbol. The butterfly in this slot is almost a glowing yellow. Other symbols include beautifully coloured flowers (pink, blue and purple). Then there are also your card values (A, K, Q, J) that appear in different shades of green.
The reels seem to melt together as there are no visible borders separating the individual reels or symbols from one another. The playing area is set against a beautiful nature scene. Mountains are just visible far in the background. On the left hand side of the screen a big tree stands tall with purple flowers blossoming all over it. There is also some greenery and a lake.
If the design of this slot had to be described in one word, it would be enchanting. Its beauty could have you playing all day long; just watching the butterflies flutter from reel to reel. While the slot is without a doubt beautifully designed, it does have a psychological effect on players. All the design aspects work together to relax you and calm you down. This slot is thus perfect for winding down.
Summary
Butterfly Staxx has just enough of all the elements needed to make an entertaining slot. Visuals play a very big part in online gaming, as you are essentially staring at your screen the entire time. If a slot’s graphic quality was bad, chances are you would not be playing that slot again. NetEnt outdid themselves with this design. Everything about the slot is soft and beautiful. The visuals alone could keep players coming back.
However, most players play for the money if we’re being honest. Butterfly Staxx offers more than enough features to you to be able to get your money’s worth. The wild will help you form more winning combinations and the butterfly spins could just as easily make you a winner.
