Not many people around the world will like creatures from the animal world that come from the insect category, however butterflies are perhaps a rather unique creature. With a rather magical element surrounding the way they evolve from a caterpillar into a butterfly perhaps a reason as to why many are so taken with them, NetEnt have certainly looked to capitalise on it.
Butterfly Staxx slot game provides players with the chance to be immersed in a world full of this special creature and will reward them handsomely when they do take to the reels.
Gameplay
This Butterfly Staxx slot game is played on a grid that consists of five reels and four rows, therefore resulting in 40 different paylines in which players are able to form winning sequences on. With bets starting from just €0.20 per spin and a maximum of €400 per turn being able to be placed, everyone will feel there is a chance for them to get in on spinning the reels.
NetEnt have kept things incredibly simple in regards to the way the game is played, as they continue to provide functions such as ‘Autoplay’ and ‘Max Bet’ for those looking to tailor their experiences. Indeed, those who have never played a slot game from this developer will be able to test out the Butterfly Staxx free play version above to see what it is all about.
It is no surprise that the paytable of this video slot features icons that can be associated with a butterfly. Admittedly, NetEnt have decided to keep things rather traditional by using the royal playing cards (J, Q, K and A) as their low-value icons, but colourful flowers follow these as they provide better rewards.
The Butterfly, though, is the most valuable icon available on the paytable and should be considered hugely important.
In addition, the game’s Wild can substitute for all regular icons and help form winning combinations where possible, whilst the Scatter icons will trigger the ‘Butterfly Spins’ bonus feature.
Feature Bonuses
As mentioned, the most important icon in this Butterfly Staxx slot game is the butterfly itself. This is because they can appear on the grid in stacks that are large enough to cover an entire reel. When this happens, a free respin will be triggered that will see the butterfly travel to the left most reel of the playing grid and take up a random position. The rest of the reels will respin with each butterfly that appears continuing to move left until no more appear.
The ‘Butterfly Spins’ bonus game is a free spins round but comes with a twist. Either 5, 6, or 7 free spins will be awarded depending on how many Scatters appear on the playing grid but only cocoon icons will appear on the reels. Some of these will be ‘active’ and when they are part of a winning combination, a butterfly will appear and provide a respin. This can continue to happen as long as an ‘active’ cocoon is landed on.
