Butterflies is exactly what it sounds like, a slot machine that is themed around some of the most beautiful insects nature has created. It’s designed by Wager Gaming and the action takes place on a beautiful flower filled background, with the reels being decorated as well. The symbols are for the most part inspired by the butterfly, in its various stages, so even the caterpillar makes an appearance in one of them. You will find that it’s a pretty game, but that’s not always enough to make it a good one to play. Let’s see how it does in the other areas.
Butterflies might sound like a simple game, but it’s a generous one, offering up to $70,000 as prizes, plus access to wild symbols, bonus games and scatters. It also has 5 reels with 25 lines.
Features of Butterflies
The game has as its only three features a bonus game, a scatter symbol and a wild.
The wild is the one I’m most disappointed with. It not only doesn’t give away prizes directly, it also only shows up on one reel out of five. You will notice the House symbol appearing on the 1st reel, being able to substitute from that position for other regular symbols, so the Flower scatter is not influenced by it. Normally, it would be one of the most limited wild symbols you will find anywhere, its only saving quality being the feature that starts up each time you get a wild.
The Flower is the second important symbol, and I prefer it over the wild, which is rarely the case. Acting as a scatter, it will offer players prizes by being in two to five locations at the same time, even if they’re not on the same payline. Up to 100x the wager will be offered as a prize, the exact amount depending on how many scatters are present and on the total bet of the round.
Butterfly Feature
A single wild symbol is enough to get the bonus game started, so whenever you have the Butterfly’s House on 1st reel, this feature is activated. It starts with the appearance of a butterfly, which shows up and lands on various symbols, at random, turning them into wilds. You get multiple wilds on the screen this way, each time a single one appears on the 1st reel.
Betting options and jackpots
The full betting range of Butterflies is $0.01 to $250. At its lowest, it uses a single coin, which is the requirement for one line being activated. The denomination is between $0.01 and $10. The maximum bet uses 25 coins for all the lines.
A 7,000 coins top prize is advertised on the paytable, meaning up to $70,000 cash.
Design and symbols
The game tries to show you some of the best things that nature has to offer, the butterfly and its transformation from caterpillar, to cocoon and finally to the beautiful insect that we all admire. A gorgeous field with flowers and grass is placed behind the reels, and the entire design is colorful and bright thanks to the way everything was built. The cartoon like characters that are used for its symbols are fun to look at and they’re cute, a word which applies even to the caterpillar.
Symbols: House (wild), Flower (100x the bet, scatter), Male Butterfly (7,000 coins), Female Butterfly (3,000 coins), Caterpillar (1,000 coins), Toadstool (500 coins), Ace or King (150 coins), Queen or Jack (125 coins) and 10 or 9 (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
It’s the kind of pretty slot you will want to try because of the graphics alone, but luckily it’s generous with its prizes and it has a very interesting wild symbol, along with a scatter.
Butterflies can be found at any Wager Gaming casino, where you get a chance to play it for real money or in free mode.
