Butterfly Staxx 2 is a low variance slot with 40 paylines on a 5x4 board, which is the exact same setup that was used on the original title that was released in June 2017. This game also includes the same things, Re-Spins and Butterfly Spins. The minimum bet per spin is €0.25, and you adjust it by adjusting the bet level and the coin value. If you push both values all the way through, you'll see the maximum bet per spin is €1,250! Be careful with that Max Bet button that sits dangerously close to the Spin button that has a Butterfly on it. Main game and paytable Graphics seem a bit outdated as NetEnt went for the classic slot look, and the edges of symbols are sharp, so this is a contrast to the fairytale-like and dreamy pastel theme of Butterfly Staxx original slot game. In this theme Butterflies again dominate, but in a different manner. And it doesn't look bad either – Butterfly, Wild and Scatter symbols are beautiful, each in their own way. Wild symbols can appear anywhere on the reels, while Scatters appear only on reels 1, 3 and 5. Butterfly is the most important symbol in the game as it has a special purpose in Butterfly Spins as well as a purpose for re-spins, but other than that it's just marginally the best high-win symbol. It pays 50 coins while the other three high-win symbols pay 40. The four low-win card symbols pay 20 coins for five-of-a-kind. Whenever a stack of Butterfly symbols covers an entire reel, Re-Spins are activated. All Butterfly symbols will fly to the leftmost unoccupied position on the reels, and will remain on the reels for the duration of re-spins. If you land Butterflies on two first reels, a second board will be unlocked. If you land Butterflies on reels 1, 2 and 3, the third board will be unlocked. Bonus features In the original title, Scatters can land on all five reels, while this one has a maximum of three. When you land three Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5, you'll trigger the bonus round and will be given a choice to select either Butterfly Spins or the Butterfly Frenzy. During Butterfly Spins, only Cocoon symbols can land on your board. They can either be dormant or active. The active Cocoon will turn into a Butterfly symbol, and all Butterfly symbols will fly to the leftmost available position on the same row, and will then remain locked in place until the end of the feature. And this won't happen on one board only – you'll be given three and they'll play out at the same time. Butterfly Frenzy is a simple pick-a-prize bonus round, and you'll be given seven Butterflies to pick from, and will reveal either coin prizes or stage upgrades. There are five stages of coin wins, and you get 10-40 coins on the first level and 75-125 on the final one. Butterfly Staxx 2 Slots RTP Theoretical return to player (RTP) of Butterfly Staxx 2 is 96.35%, which is less than 96.80% of the original title but still almost as good enough. Players who want more for their money will stick with the original title, while Butterfly Staxx 2 seems to have better graphics and offers up to three boards at the same time. Conclusion Butterfly Staxx 2 is not necessarily an improvement over the original title, and many players will prefer the 2017 game. But it's fun to have two almost identical games to choose from, so go ahead and play both for real money and see which one performs better for you and which theme do you like better.
