How to play Neon Staxx

Neon Staxx slot by NetEnt, has a very distinctive and cool style that catches the eye instantly, with a blue and pink background brings to mind the iconic 1980s movie Tron. The name Neon Staxx sums the game up pretty well, what you’ll find here is bright neon colours and stacked symbols, called Super Staxx, that cover the reels. The game has a slick electronic soundtrack, filled with the sound of synthesizers, that adds to the game’s retro look.

Looking at the 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 paylines, you’ll see the J, Q, K and A symbols cast in chrome of differing colours. The higher paying symbols take the form of ‘Predator Symbols’ – the Viper, Hawk, Bear and Lion. There’s a wild symbol that substitutes all symbols except the scatter, which awards entry into the free spin round.

Neon Staxx’s Super Staxx stacked symbols are determined before each spin, so when you click spin you’ll see the stacked symbol for the round fly over the reels. Land two sets of stacked symbols and the third reel shudders, waiting for another potential set of stacked symbols to fill the reels. If you want a blast from the past, you can play Neon Staxx for as little as €0.20 a spin, or max out at €100.

Neon Staxx features

There’s two key features in Neon Staxx – Super Staxx and free spins. The Super Staxx work by having a stacks of the same symbols on adjacent reels, and before each spin one symbol is selected to be stacked. The stacked symbols shoot over the reels as they spin, and you can see which symbol is selected to be stacked. Reel in stacked symbols on the first two reels and the third reel spins faster, just waiting for another set of Super Staxx to hit. This can continue along the reels until you have stacked symbols over all five reels!

The free spin feature is awarded when you hit 3 or more scatters on any position on the reels. 3, 4 or 5 scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. When you get the free spins, the round is randomly assigned a stacked Predator Symbol, or if you’re lucky, the wild symbol. The free spin round plays out with the stacked symbol filling the reels, with the opportunity for you to reel in some big wins if the stacked symbols hit on adjacent reels. If you’re lucky enough to get the stacked wild as the symbol for the free spin round then you have the potential to be a big winner!

Free Spin feature

Get three or more of the funky neon green and pink scatter symbol and you’re in the free spin round. Each time a scatter hits a metallic clink echoes over the music and the reels spin faster in anticipation. You can get up to 20 free spins if you hit 5 scatters, 15 for 4 scatters and 10 for 3 scatters. Upon entry to the free spin round, you see the wild and Predator symbols spinning, hit stop and whichever symbol stops is the Super Staxx symbol for the whole free spin round.

The most rewarding symbol is the wild, as having it stacked can link up winning combinations, but all of the stacked symbols can lead to great wins. Just like in the base game the stacked symbols line up on the reels, if you get 3, 4 or 5 rows of stacked symbols just watch as the coins pour in.
