Butterfly Staxx Slot Review

Butterfly Staxx - Game Overview

I see Butterfly Staxx as NetEnt’s softer entry in the Staxx series, built as a 5 reel, 4 row video slot with 40 fixed ways to win. The action plays out over a picturesque landscape at dusk, where glowing butterflies and tropical flowers float against an almost alien sky. The game feels serene and a little feminine, with gentle animations and electro style audio sitting miles away from the usual high-energy animal themed slots.

From a numbers angle Butterfly Staxx uses bet sizes from 0.20 up to 400, so it suits both cautious spinners and players who like pushing higher stakes. The default RTP sits at 96.8 percent, putting it in a fair zone for regular play. I can run it on desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile without any fuss, which matches NetEnt’s standard for slick, responsive slot design.

Symbols and Paytable in Butterfly Staxx

The Butterfly symbol is the star of Butterfly Staxx, paying 120 times your line bet when you land 5 of a kind and appearing stacked on every reel. Next come the Pink, Violet, and Blue Flowers, which reach 80 times your line bet for 5 across a way. Low value positions are filled by the familiar Ace, King, Queen, and Jack card symbols, keeping the bottom of the paytable very straightforward.

The Lotus Flower acts as the Wild symbol in Butterfly Staxx and substitutes for all paying icons to help complete winning ways. Scatter symbols sit apart from this and trigger Butterfly Spins when three or more appear, handing out between five and seven spins based on how many you land. The review material quotes a maximum jackpot of 640 times your bet, while other stats mention top wins of around 300 times.

Bonus Features in Butterfly Staxx

Bonus features in Butterfly Staxx centre on the glowing Butterfly symbols. These symbols land in stacks, and when a full stack covers an entire reel the Re Spins feature starts. Every Butterfly on the screen flies to the leftmost position on its row that is not already occupied by a Butterfly and then locks. All other symbol positions spin again, so you set up ways with Butterflies lined neatly from the first reel.

During Re Spins, any new Butterfly symbols that land repeat the same pattern. They move towards the left side, settle on the first free spot in their row, and hold for the next spin. Each time fresh Butterflies appear you gain another respin, and the sequence keeps going until no more land. Because Butterflies are the highest paying symbols, a screen full of them can deliver some very decent results.

Butterfly Spins in Butterfly Staxx act as a Free Spins feature with a twist. Three or more Scatter symbols trigger it, with three awarding five spins, four giving six, and five seven. Cocoon symbols are the only icons on reels during Butterfly Spins. These can be dormant or active, and an active Cocoon changes into a Butterfly that flies to the leftmost open spot on its row, stays for the feature, and pays out with rest after each spin.

Graphics and Sound in Butterfly Staxx

Graphics and sound in Butterfly Staxx move away from loud arcade style slots and focus on a dreamy garden at dusk. The backdrop shows a picturesque landscape with soft hills and star filled skies, while glowing butterflies and colourful tropical flowers sit on the reels. NetEnt use soft colours and angular low poly graphics, backed by alluring animations and tranquil electro sounds that create a calm, slightly otherworldly atmosphere.

I like how the visuals in Butterfly Staxx use bright yellow and purple tones without becoming harsh on the eye. Animations are smooth and lively, with butterflies fluttering across the screen to mark features and wins, which gives each spin a bit of life. Gentle, serene music and soft natural effects fill the background and turn long sessions into a relaxed, almost meditative experience whether I play on desktop or mobile.

RTP, Volatility and Betting in Butterfly Staxx

RTP, volatility and betting in Butterfly Staxx sit in a friendly middle ground. The slot runs on a 5 by 4 layout with 40 fixed ways, and you can bet from 0.20 up to 400 per spin. The theoretical RTP is 96.8 percent with a stated hit frequency of 24 percent. I would call it a low to medium volatility slot, suiting players who like frequent smaller wins over rare monsters.

The 200 Spins Butterfly Staxx Experience

The 200 Spins Butterfly Staxx experience started for me on a laptop, where the game loaded quickly and ran without any issues. First impressions of the layout, graphics, and animations were very positive. Symbols stand out in bright colours against a darker background, and the fireflies in the backdrop add motion. Before spinning I checked the paytable and set my bet to 4.00 using the familiar NetEnt interface.

Over a 200 spin sample Butterfly Staxx played much as the stats suggest, with many low and mid sized hits. On spin 50 I landed Butterflies on all five reels for a Mega Win of 32 times my total bet, though without a full stack I missed out on Re Spins. Spin 93 brought four Scatters and six Butterfly Spins, which built to a feature win of 128.00 with Butterflies spread over the first three reels.

Review Summary for Butterfly Staxx

Review Summary for Butterfly Staxx comes down to whether you like its calm, ethereal style and steady gameplay. The focus sits firmly on the high paying Butterfly symbol, which appears stacked on all reels and drives both Re Spins and Butterfly Spins. Collecting long lines of Butterflies from left to right can still throw up serious hits, even though the quoted maximum of 640 times your bet sits below many high volatility slots.
