Butterfly Staxx Slot Review Online
Rather a caterpillar.
Rather a caterpillar.
What should you eagerly anticipate in this slot, is the Butterfly Staxx bonus round - Butterfly Spins. Seeing how those butterflies accumulate on the reels is thrilling, because you know that further you go, the bigger your winnings are going to get. Once your spin is made, the butterfly symbols move to the leftmost position, give you some coins, and stay in place until the end of the round. Overall, the bonus round can bring you a hundred times your initial bet!
Butterfly Staxx was released by NetEnt over a year ago. The software provider has remained prominent by creating outstanding games of great quality. But in the case of Butterfly Staxx, something went wrong. Well, we don’t want to say that the game is bad, not at all, but it’s not the best creation of NetEnt, if you ask us. The main reason for that must be the slot’s low-medium volatility (whereas volatility is a matter of personal choice, we should acknowledge that most players prefer slots with rare but huge wins).
Besides, according to some of the player’s feedback, it takes too long to trigger the bonus round (which is the hallmark of the slot). The slot has 5 reels, 4 rows, and 40 paylines. The RTP is okay - 96.8%.
Hits & Misses
- Two bonus features;
- Mobile compatibility;
- Fine RTP - 96.8%
- Reputable software developer - NetEnt.
- Both bonus features are similar in mechanics;
- Most symbols aren’t animated;
- The overall slot’s look is rather mundane.
Features and Bonuses
As you may have guessed, the Butterfly Staxx slot is all about those butterfly symbols. The Wild is represented as a flower like most of the symbols in the slot. Apart from that, there are A, K, Q, and J symbols which count less than the above-mentioned. The Scatters are shiny purple flowers which activate the Butterfly Spins. This bonus feature gives you Butterfly Spins in the following order:
- 3 Scatters = 5 Butterfly Spins;
- 4 Scatters = 6 Butterfly Spins;
- 5 Scatters = 7 Butterfly Spins;
During the bonus round, the reels consist of active and dormant Cocoon symbols. The active ones turn into Butterfly symbols and fly to the leftmost position on the same row. Afterwards, you receive your coins, (if there is a winning combination though) and the game continues to spin. And that goes on until you run out of spins.
It looks like the imagination of the developers dwindled away after creating this bonus game. They added another feature to the slot, but it strongly resembles the bonus round. Anyway, if you collect 4 Butterfly symbols on one reel, you will trigger the Re-Spins round. Upon doing that, the butterflies will fly to the leftmost position, and remain there until the end of the Re-Spins. The feature retriggers if you get at least one more butterfly during the next spin. As with the bonus round, the more butterfly symbols you accumulate, the bigger your win will be. Unlike the bonus round, you get your winnings only once, at the end of your re-spins, when there are no more new butterflies

Ui, visuals and sounds
If we could insert a photo of us while playing Butterfly Staxx, you would see faces with half-closed eyes, and saliva drooling out of our mouths. And if it was possible to add a video, you would hear our snore (not sure about that though). Overall, it’s so freaking relaxing to spin the slot! The sounds may evoke memories of your mother lulling you in your cradle and the graphics are in dark colors (reminds the night mode on some TV-show websites).
The symbols aren’t animated except for the Butterfly. It starts swinging its wings when you hit a winning combination.

Our opinion
Despite the recent year of release, the video slot is not the game that will keep you always excited. Its bonus round and the feature (which resembles the bonus game) may seem interesting only for a short period. After that, you may simply become bored. Moreover, as for us, the sounds and graphics are too relaxing. So, will you have butterflies in your stomach by playing Butterfly Staxx? Probably not. The slot is worth a shot, but only one. Try our online demo out to be sure.
Go up and play Butterfly Staxx Slot with a feeling of butterflies in your stomach.
