Strolling Staxx

Strolling Staxx Cubic Fruits NetEnt Slot

Strolling Staxx Cubic Fruits among the best uk online slots from the software developers at NetEnt plays out over 5-reels and 30 fixed pay lines. All of the main slot developers have at least one classic fruit machine styled slot in their stable. Although they may not play out in the way an old Vegas styled one armed bandit does, they all tend to still look like one.
NetEnt have built on this type and used the classic and best known symbols such as cherries and watermelons but with a little twist. The slot makes full use of the shifting wilds in the same way as those used NetEnt in their famous slot Jack and the Beanstalk. But let’s see exactly how this slot compares with some of their other slots.

Gameplay

To begin with Strolling Staxx Cubic Fruits opens up to a game with standard win lines and game symbols with 30 fixed win lines. Bet range starts from just 0.01 coin per spin and whilst this is ideal for beginners, this slot does offer a great range of bets which keeps things interesting for the high rollers too. Slot is available on all devices and players just need to tap the yellow and blue spin button to start. There is also an Auto play button for those who want to choose a predetermined amount of spins and then sit back and watch the action unfold.

Review

I did see a sign post sitting by the reels and on each spin the sign revolved and revealed a single symbol. Stack this symbol and take up as many as nine positions on the reels, for this players are awarded re-spins and with a massive stacked symbol players have a huge chance to win a great amount of cash. When the reels are then re-sun the block of symbols lock in place whilst the other reels spin around, the block then moves one reel to the left whilst the other reels spin, any matching symbols are then transferred to the huge symbol and when the giant symbol disappears completely the spinning goes back to normal. Plus, if there are any double or single symbols that match the sign post on the reels these shift to the left until they eventually are no longer seen.

Best feature

I think the best feature for me in this slot was that more gigantic symbols can drop onto the reels during the re-spins, and it is possible to have a giant symbol that will cover the whole 3x5 reel space. Players should not worry of they find that they keep missing the shifting symbols as there is a chance of landing a second chance on non-winning spins. If the player has a spin that results in no win, a sign stating either 'Second Chance' or 'Extra Chance' may appear, and when it does a symbol falls onto the reels and adds one or more locked matching symbols to the reels.

Bonus Features

Focusing about bonus features, the only thing players will see is the shifting symbols, however there is a wild which is depicted by a gold “W” symbol. If players see this appear it can substitute for all of the regular symbols as well as replicating and locking the gold “W” using the sign post bonus feature.
It is obvious that NetEnt believe fully in the Strolling Staxx concept and that it will be popular with players, mainly because they have chosen the title in such a way that it draws attention to the feature. They did exactly the same with Aloha! Cluster Pays and this worked, and I think that they have got it right again with this one and as such players should take note that they can expect to comes across a lot more slots using this style of feature in the future.
