Will these butterflies flutter into your heart and wallet? Let’s take a look with this Butterfly Staxx slot review.
In case the name seems eerily familiar, that would be because NetEntertainment released another game with a similar name back in 2015, namely the Neon Staxx slot.
Was that one any good? It was ok… in a nostalgic kinda way.
Is this Butterfly Staxx mobile slot any good? It’s… Ok. In a pretty kinda way.
This is a NetEnt Touch phone game, you know it’s going to look good.
There’s something about the angular shapes, tropical flowers and fluttering butterflies that is familiar, yet unusual enough to make you pay attention.
The big feature is the fact that if you get a whole stack of those golden butterflies, they will flutter to the left of the screen and give you a re-spin.
From then on, any other butterflies on screen will keep moving to the left hand reels, giving you (hopefully) multiple 3 or 4 of a kind wins once the re-spins end.
But the real heart of this 40 payline slot machine online has got to be the free spins.
Which, a little like the Play’n GO 7 Sins slot only has two symbols: the cocoons and the butterflies.
On every spin, cocoons will open up to reveal Butterflies and these will then fly to the left of the screen, staying sticky throughout.
We’ve won over 176x our bet thanks to this feature.
The primary problem with this slot, of course, is the fact that when you put so much focus on one symbol, all the other ones become meaningless.
Even the wild barely registered as you soon realise that it’s only the Butterflies that will bloom your wallet.
Which is no terrible thing, but does kill the thrill a little bit when every time no butterflies show up, you know that means you’re getting nothing.
All in all, we’re pretty much going to stick to our original Butterfly Staxx review: it’s ok in a pretty kind of way.

Wild Symbol: The bright red and yellow flower is the wild symbol and replaces all other symbols on screen, except scatter.
Butterfly Staxx Re-spins: Whenever a stack of butterfly symbols lands covering a whole reel, you activate a re-spin.
The butterfly symbols will then fly to the utmost left hand side of the reel, and if you get more butterfly symbols on the re-spin, those will also then fly left.
Once you have no more butterfly symbols, the re-spin end and you get the final win.
Think of it like sticky wins, like you might find in the Barbershop Uncut slot, but that move to give you the best possible outcome.
Scatters and Free Spins: Get 3, 4, 5 scatter symbols and you'll trigger the 5, 6, or 7 free spins.
It's not much, but these are no ordinary free spins. What you get here are just rows and rows of cocoons, which sometimes burst open to reveal butterflies.
When they do, much like in the respins, these butterflies fly to the left most position on the reels, covering (hopefully) several rows full of butterflies.
This Butterfly Staxx slot online and on mobile is, in our opinion, better than Neon Staxx, by far.
Thats because whilst you probably can't win much more here, at least with these fluttering insect, you feel like the wins might be imminent, thanks to the way they flutter on the reels.
However, this is not the kind of NetEnt game you play for a long time, like you might Hansel and Gretel game, or even for the big wins, like in the Jungle Spirit slot.
Instead, much like the fluttering butterflies, you'll probably flutter in and out to see if those little golden fliers are on your side, before swiftly moving on to other things like the Butterfly Staxx 2 slot if they aren't.
