Butterflies, set against a background of blue skies and green fields full of colourful flowers and featuring caricature style symbols, such as the wild symbol – a House (representing the butterfly’s cocoon), the scatter – a flower, a Male Butterfly, a Toadstool, a Female Butterfly, a cute little Caterpillar and simple, but colourful symbols for the high card values, is a 25 pay line, a 5-reel slot crafted by Vegas Technology.
Auto Play is a very comprehensive feature, offering players a choice of 5 – 500 spins to be played (a drop down list); intervals between spins can be set from 0.25 up to 2 seconds and it also has a list of possible settings when auto play should terminate. It can also be terminated manually at any time by the player.
Offered game features are a little disappointing – the wild symbol will only appear on the first reel and thus offers a limited payout potential, as well as not multiplying winning payouts. There are no free spins – usually a major attraction for players of slot games – and no gamble game. However, the bonus feature, which is played within the reels, is innovative and redeems the game somewhat.
The 1 coin per line bet limit is made up for by a great range of coin values – from 0.01 up to a maximum of 10.00. With a maximum possible bet of 250.00 per spin, it should certainly attract many high rollers to this game.
The scatter offers scatter payouts multiplied by the overall spin bet if two or more of it appear on the reels. When the wild symbol shows up, it will trigger the Butterfly (Bonus) feature. Any already present winnings will be credited to the player, then the house itself lights up and out of it a butterfly emerges. This will then randomly land on other symbols, turning them into new wild symbols. Any winning combinations thus created will then be calculated according to the payout table, then the player is credited. 5 of the Male Butterfly in a line will pay out the highest, a 7000-coin fixed jackpot, while the Female Butterfly will pay 3000 coins.
A fun game to play, although the lack of a progressive jackpot and relatively low secondary jackpots are hardly made up for by the two highest fixed jackpots. Still, high rollers may find it worth a go and it’s definitely worth looking out for the animation of the wild symbol – this really is excellently done.
