Stunning Cube

Overview Stunning Cube

BF Games is one of the newest studios to have entered the industry in recent years. They are part of the more established LV Group who have been creating online chance games for at least 15 years. They are known for their original and futuristic designs. This latest slot they have created is not an exception to this. Players will spin a cube instead of a collection of reels, hoping to match the symbols the side that faces the player, similar to how a Rubik’s cube works. This all takes place in some sort of futuristic Tron-like setting.

When it comes to features, players can expect wilds, a bonus meter controlled free spins round and the game’s special unique feature – the Cube of Luck. This last feature involves landing matching symbols to try and re-win the last winnings from the previous spin. The highest number of times you can do this is 6x, which represents a very exciting and substantial-top payout. This feature can also be triggered in both the base game and the free spins bonus round.

Theme and Symbols

When it comes to this game’s theme, its aesthetic is very similar to the film ‘Tron’ in both the neon two-tone lighting, the modular division of the game’s spaces and the flickering holograms that you see throughout the game. The other main inspiration for this slot as mentioned in the introduction is the humble Rubik’s cube. Every ‘spin’ in this game is more of a shuffle or rearrangement of the game’s cube, similar to the way the Rubik’s cube is clicked into new positions.

Finally, you could also say that this game gets some of its ideas from ‘The Matrix’ with the sky being scorched black and futuristic machines hovering in the background.

Speaking of the background, behind the all-important cube is some sort of futuristic city partly obscured by a pink fog which is being lit by a very bright strip of neon. In this city, there are tower blocks, maybe some strange spaceships and a range of buildings that are too futuristic even to recognise. In the foreground where the cube hovers, the ground is made of waves of data points that look like an empty void that has yet to be programmed yet. This all still feeds into the Tron-like theme.

The board, or should we say cube, is a 3x3 floating entity that sits in the centre of the screen. Its spaces are occupied by a variety of simple symbols in orange and light blue. What is most entertaining about this slot is the way it shuffles itself with every spin, the way each small cube darts and dives and rearranges is quite mesmeric to look at.

The symbols for this game are quite simple. There are 9 symbols in total, these are split into 4 low-paying symbols – these are the light blue outlines of geometric shapes. Landing 5 of these in combination will payout at 3x your stake. The other 5 are the higher paying symbols. These are easily recognisable in that they are orange coloured symbols. These will payout at a much higher rate for combinations. If you manage to land 5 of these symbols in combination, the game will payout at 40x your stake. The solid blue block in the wild for this game.

Features

There are 3 main features in this game. The first and most imminently triggerable feature is the wild feature, which involves the solid blue cube symbol. This symbol can substitute for any other symbol on the board to help create winning combinations. Landing 3 wilds in a row will also trigger the top payout for this game.

The second feature is the free spins round. You can trigger this bonus by filling the bonus meter which players will be able to see filling up with blue light at the bottom of the cube. By filling the bonus meter to the top by creating wins, you’ll trigger the bonus. This gives you 10 free spins. Other modifiers come your way if you manage to fill the bonus meter from inside this feature.

The last feature is the game’s unique Cube of Luck bonus. To trigger this bonus, players must land 9 identical symbols to cover one face of the cube completely. Doing so will give players the chance to re-win the winning amount up to 6x in a re-spin feature. Landing a blue wall ends this feature. The Cube of Luck can be triggered from both the base and bonus free spin round.

Conclusion

Stunning Cube has to one of the most innovative slots produced in the last 5 years. Its futuristic design and hypnotising playing dynamics are incredibly enticing. This in combination with the solid features on offer makes this a top game for those wanting to try something new. On the other hand, players will not be thrilled by the top payout or average RTP. Then again if you are feeling like a high roller, the game does have the betting range to allow you to score some bigger wins.
