Strolling Staxx Slots Overview

Unlike the previous two games, Strolling Staxx Cubic Fruits is a five-reel slot with three rows and ten fixed paylines. NetEnt have taken the classic, nostalgia-filled fruit symbols and given them an interesting twist.

In terms of symbols, Strolling Staxx slots machine features the standard royal symbols like J, Q, K, and A, as well as lemons, watermelons, plums, strawberries, and cherries. The ‘twist’ we mentioned before is that the fruits have been given a funky cubic makeover. Even the trees in the background are somewhat pixelated. All in all, the visuals are great, further accentuated by pin-dropping audio.

There is also a wild symbol that is represented by a gold 'W' icon. If this appears, it will substitute for all regular symbols in the game.

About the Genre

Without any doubt, one of the most popular themes in online slots is the fruit theme. This comes as no surprise considering the fact that when traditional three-reel slot machines hit the floors in land-based casinos, almost all of them, if not all, had slot reels decked with various fruit symbols. One of the reasons behind the popularity of fruit-themed slots is because there is still a group of punters who are nostalgic for the days when they started their slot playing journey on the fruit machines. So, the online fruit slots are a good way for them to remind themselves of the good old days when playing slots was much simpler.

How To Play Strolling Staxx Slots

The bet can be set by clicking the “-/+” buttons by the ‘Level’ field and those by the ‘Coin Value’ field. Press the Spin button to start the reels, or use the ‘Autoplay’ option to set the reels to spin uninterrupted for a selected number of times. There is also a ‘Max Bet’ option which will spin the reels on the maximum bet available. You might have also noticed that the game features a bonus bet button. This grants you more chances of receiving colossal symbols that can fill up the screen.

How To Win Strolling Staxx Slots

As usual, payouts in Strolling Staxx slots are awarded for landing three or more winning symbols on the same payline, from the leftmost reel to the rightmost. The top payout available is 500 coins, which is paid out for landing five wilds or five watermelons. Next is the strawberry symbol, awarding 150 coins for five on a payline. The lemon is worth 120 coins for five-of-a-kind, whereas landing five of the cherries symbol pays 100 coins.

Any symbol in the game can appear as a colossal symbol, taking up a 2x3 or 3x3 space on the reels.

Strolling Staxx Slots Bonus Features

Extra Chance

Next to the max bet button you will see a Bonus Bet button that we mentioned before. Activating this plays the game with an increased bet size and enables the Extra Chance feature, meaning the chances of landing a colossal symbol during the Re-Spins feature are enhanced. Upon activating it, fruits will start raining with the possibility of 3×3 Colossal symbols fully or partially landing on the reels.

Re-Spins

There is a sign standing in the lower left corner of the screen, displaying the symbol that can appear fully stacked on the reels. If one or more reel is covered with the same symbol, resulting in a full stack, the Re-Spin feature is triggered. All stacks of symbols, as well as connected symbols, move one reel to the left on each spin until there are no more stacks in sight. If more stacks appear on the reels, the feature is re-activated.

Our Strolling Staxx Slots Review

Strolling Staxx slots is the third release in NetEnt’s Staxx slot series and probably the best one of the lot. The jackpot is bigger, the graphics are excellent, it comes with a ‘Bonus Bet’ option and the wins are pretty lucrative thanks to those colossal symbols. Perhaps it won’t grab the attention of high rollers since it’s a tad ‘laid-back’ and there is no free spins feature, but those players interested in the lighter side of online slots play will surely enjoy it.
