About Butterfly Staxx Slot
Butterfly Staxx Slot is based on one of the world’s most beautiful and fascinating insects, the butterfly. NetEnt has put in so much effort into designing and developing the game so that it’s a visual delight, which incorporates butterfly graphics to delight and dazzle players. The animations are also sleek, and you’ll be getting bursts of them during the game’s Butterfly Staxx re-spin game. With all the action taking place on 5 reels and 40 paylines, you have plenty of winning opportunities.
As for the symbols, you’ll come across different varieties of tropical flowers, cocoons and the brightly lit butterflies. Just from the name of the game, you’ll expect the butterflies to be the highest paying symbols in the game and come with a top multiplier of 840× your bet if you land seven butterfly symbols on the reels.
Butterfly Staxx Slot Mechanics
With 5 reels and 40 paylines, Butterfly Staxx happens to be one of few games in NetEnt’s game portfolio to have more than 40 paylines. At the bottom of the game’s reels, you’ll come across options that enable you to choose the number of paylines that you’d like to activate. Once this is accomplished, you can select how much you’d like to wager, which starts from a low of €0.40 up to a maximum of €400 per spin.
After trying the game both in real money and play money mode, we noticed that it pays out small and frequent wins, though there were instances where we able to land moderate wins in between. This leads us to conclude that it’s a low-medium variance slot, which of course would suit the budget of a casual player. And with a high RTP of 96.8%, it happens to be one of NetEnt highest paying slots.
In-game Features
Land Stacked Butterflies & Trigger the Lucrative Re-spin Feature
One of Butterfly Staxx’s main feature is the lucrative re-spin feature, which is activated by landing a whole stack of butterflies on a reel. After that, all the butterflies fly across the screen to the leftmost reel, hold their position and a re-spin is triggered. This re-spin will continue as long as there are more butterfly symbols appear on the reels.
Butterfly scatter will trigger free spins game!
This bonus game is triggered by landing at least three purple scatter symbols on the reel. Once active, you’ll only be landing cocoon symbols, which can either be active or dormant. You can tell active cocoons from their neon green glow, and they are the ones that turn into butterflies. These butterflies will fly to the leftmost reel on the same row that’s not occupied by a butterfly symbol and stick in place until the end of the Butterfly Spins bonus game, consequently awarding you with more winning opportunities.
- 3 scatter symbols will award you 5 butterfly spins
- 4 scatter symbols will award you 6 butterfly spins
- 5 scatter symbols will award you 7 butterfly spins
Wild substitutions for more wins
Butterfly Staxx also features a wild symbol that’s represented by the multi-coloured flower with a glowing stone within its petals. Like any other wild symbol, it can substitute for all the other symbols in the game, besides the purple scatter symbol, to form winning combinations.
In addition to completing winning combinations, the tropical wildflower symbol pays out the highest possible amount, according to the game’s pay table. The other symbols will pay out:
- 60 coins for matching 5 glowing butterfly symbols
- 40 coins for matching 5 flower symbols
- 20 coins for matching 5 green high card symbols
