It has been quite the year for NetEnt, with a host of top quality games hitting the market, including the recently released Vikings, based on the hugely popular television show, which is already making a huge impact.However, with all these huge releases happening, a few slots from the popular Swedish developer have managed to slip under the radar, and one of those is the recently released Strolling Staxx.The newest addition to the Staxx series that has seen Neon Staxx and Butterfly Staxx both released with more of a whimper than a bang, can Strolling Staxx revive the struggling series?
About the slot
With five reels and 10 paylines, Strolling Staxx is playable from 15p to £300 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.A very Nintendo style design is used here, bringing the feel of an old fashioned fruit machine with it, with cherries, lemons, and watermelons being amongst the symbols that appear on the reels.The cubic shape of these symbols brings a different feel, which is nice, but it has to be accepted that by the high standards of NetEnt, this design is less than impressive, which is a shame.
Gameplay
Any symbol can appear as a 3×3 Colossal symbol here, which helps with the chance of wins, but it’s the Strolling Staxx Re-Spins feature you’re looking for here.An image next to the reels shows a symbol that can appear stacked on each spin, if one or more reel is covered by this symbol, a re-spin is given, with the stacked symbols ‘Strolling’ across the reels during the respins.Truth be told, Strolling Staxx shows an improvement against the Staxx slots that came before it, but it is still a part of what is undoubtedly the weakest series NetEnt has to offer.
