If you love slots revolving around these majestic insects, Butterfly Staxx 2 from NetEnt might be the perfect game for you. In fact, it is the sequel of the original title, implying that the developer is maybe aiming for the series of the butterfly-themed slots.
It is a five-reeler with a total of 40 paylines. Featuring some unique features to trigger and pretty graphics, the gameplay can be very intriguing.
The game doesn’t offer the biggest payouts around…
… but it has several great features, including Lotus Wilds, scatters, and two bonus mini-games.
Since volatility appears to be on the low side, it is more suitable for punters who are still practicing their slots tournaments playing techniques.
However…
… it might pique the interest of veterans as well, since its predecessor was quite popular among the players.
Theme & Design
The game is fun enough, with a really obvious theme.
Butterflies are getting most of the focus, while other high paying symbols represent images of pink, red and blue flowers. Royals are the low paying cards.
While it’s not a bad looking game, it seems like the symbols could be executed better. Especially compared to the background graphics, which is very decent.
However, decent isn’t the word we’re using often when we are describing the NetEnt releases. Coming from such a reputable developer, it’s safe to say…
… it’s not one of the brand’s best slots regarding the visual appeal.
Betting and Prizes
Wagers limits in this game go from a minimum value of $0.25 to as much as $1,250.
The range of coin amount varies between $0.01 and $50.
The best winning combinations will deliver at most 2x total stake…
… or about $2,500 on each line.
With 40 lines, players could be looking at rewards of up to $100,000 (80x total stake).
The bonus features could potentially offer much more winning if the conditions for their triggering are met.
Butterfly Staxx 2 Slot Features
If you love features of Butterfly Staxx, you will adore its sequel. In this new version, there is a chance for opening up more reels and enhancing your winning prospects even further.
In fact…
… up to 3 reel areas on a single wager!
The game also contains two brilliant bonus games:
- Butterfly Spins - active Cocoon symbols landing onto the reels will turn into beautiful butterflies which can offer nice payouts.
- Butterfly Frenzy - the standard pick-and-click is taken to new thrilling levels.
Among simpler features, there is a wild presented as the Lotus Flower. It’s a replacement for other symbols, and it is also capable of triggering its rewards as well.
In fact…
… the game’s best payouts, of up to 2x total stake, will come exactly from wilds' own combinations.
Butterflies symbol has the ability to appear stacked on the reels and potentially cover them completely. All butterflies will fly to the left side when this happens.
When they occupy a position as close to the leftmost reel as possible…
… a re-spin will trigger next. If the first two reels are fully covered by butterflies, the second game area will open. If the same happens with the first three reels, the third set of reels comes in play. Wins on three sets of reels at the same time are a viable possibility.
The rose symbol is representing the scatter in the game. Its appearance on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reel triggers a bonus feature. It is a player’s choice which mini-game the scatters will activate - Butterfly Spins or the Butterfly Frenzy.
Conclusion
Considering everything, while this is a fun and entertaining game…
… we are used to more quality titles from such an esteemed developer like NetEnt.
The brand usually puts an equal effort into special features of its games and in its visual appeal. Something that might not be the case in this instance.
However…
… it’s still a quite nice low volatility slot with features to keep the action interesting, so Butterfly Staxx 2 is certainly worth trying out.
