Butterfly Staxx is yet another fanciful, beautifully designed slot game from the genius folks at NetEnt. Neon-bright yet sunset-tranquil, with tiny fireflies and fluttering butterflies, it's a fresh change from the more brash slot titles out there.
There is no reel "grid," per se. Instead the five reels and four rows hang suspended against a dusk sky. There are 40 fixed pay lines. While the 10-J-Q-K-A symbols are pretty rudimentary, the lotus flowers and other flora, as well as the striking butterflies, have sumptuous colors and detail.
Butterfly Staxx is optimized for laptops, tablets and mobile device, as it uses HTML5. The music is actually nice and relaxing, and although there is a lot of action on each spin, you never feel rushed or in a casino-like frenzy. We enjoy this one when we just want to switch off and kick back.
As far as our flying critters go, they're the important icons in this experience. As you can guess from the name, they can be stacked for big wins. When butterflies appear, they fly to the left reels and stay there, compounding as additional spins are done. This keeps happening until no more butterflies appear, and the game racks up your total win.
Scatters get you free spins, and when this happens the grid changes from the normal symbols to chrysalises or cocoons. Each spins awakens the cocoons, revealing butterflies that move over to the left. Again, this continues with wins compounding upon each spin. This whole feature is called Butterfly Spins.
Wild cards, of course, help the player complete a match.
