Neon Staxx slot summary
The 1980s were a time when fashion was not exactly at its peak, Duran Duran ruled the airwaves, and neon was attached to everything. Swedish slots developer NetEnt has decided to join the list of developers that have launched their own tribute to this fascinating and colourful era by releasing this Neon Staxx Touch mobile slot.
You Want the 80s? You Got It!
Neon Staxx Touch is a 5 reel, 40 payline that feels like it could be sold as a Tron slot and nobody would bat an eyelid. They don't hold back on the neon and the electropop soundtrack certainly lets you know that you are well and truly involved in an 80s-themed title. It is only missing some Cyndi Lauper silhouettes and a guest appearance from the legendary rolled up sleeved former Genesis member Phil Collins.
Hunt Down the Predator Symbols
The reels are packed with symbols that reflect the neon theme. These symbols are represented by a number of animal-shaped neon icons including an eagle, lion, panther, and a snake. These have the collective term of being named the “predator symbols”. Grrr. The remaining symbols come in the form of the regular Jack-through-to-Ace symbols.
Hit Big Wins with the SuperStaxx Feature
Neon Staxx Touch is the name of the mobile slot and you might have guessed that Stacked Symbols play an important role in this slot. This occurs within the SuperStaxx feature. This is when one of the “predator symbols” is randomly chosen to appear as a Stacked Symbol on the reels at the start of a spin. This gives you a greatly improved chance of hitting some winning combinations.
Add in Some Wilds!
The Wild symbol on this slot is represented by the Wild icon and it can substitute for all other symbols, except the game's Scatters, to complete any winning combinations across the reels. Combine this with the Stacked Symbols and things look very interesting indeed.
Zap! Trigger up to 20 Free Spins
This mobile slot comes with a free spins bonus round. You can trigger these free spins by hitting three or more Scatters across the reels. The Scatters are represented by a pink triangle inside a green ring symbol. You can trigger up to 20 free spins here if you are lucky enough to hit five Scatters on the reels on a single spin. Unfortunately, the Scatters cannot appear as Stacked Symbols during the free spins. However, the “predator symbols” can still appear Stacked.
Our View...
If ever there was a mobile slot that was considered lightweight then Neon Staxx Touch would be a big contender. I loved the idea behind the theme and the way the reels can be played in portrait mode on your mobile is something that gives it a different feel. Sadly, the wins aren't as big as they should be when you see that the game has Stacked Symbols, Wilds, and free spins. It plays well on the mobile device but I just feel NetEnt could have gone further with this. The RPG-styled Tower Quest mobile slot from Play'n Go and the superhero-themed Natural Powers by IGT are just two examples of how mobile slots gaming can be exciting and deliver some big wins.
