Mystic Staxx Review

NetEnt fans hoping for another installment in their popular Staxx series might be disappointed. Partner studio, Red Tiger, has taken a very different route with Mystic Staxx, so the similarity is in name only. You’re gonna have to be a bit patient to appreciate this game, as nothing much happens when you start out with symbol stacks only 2 positions in height.

Each of the 8 reels land stacks of symbols per spin, and the idea is to grow these stacks via the 3x3 Expand symbol. Don’t expect to max this thing out after just a few hundred spins however, but you will notice a difference when the stacks reach 6+ symbols in height. The design might make you hungry for Chinese food, and some players will probably find this game too monotonous and time-consuming to be worthwhile.

Mystic Staxx Features

Wild symbols step in for all regular pay symbols like wilds usually do, and the wild is also the highest value symbol in the game. Land an 8 of a kind wild line, and you’ll be awarded with a 50x your stake payout. The wild makes a comeback in a major way via the Expand symbol though, as we shall see below.

You start out with symbols stacks that are 2 positions high on each reel, but this will change when you land the 3x3 sized Expand symbol anywhere in sight.

This happens for every fully in view Expand symbol you land, until the symbols stack sizes reach the maximum of 20 symbols in height. When you have achieved this, the Expand symbol turns into a 3x3 mega wild whenever it lands. The mega wild can land anywhere, and it steps in for all regular pay symbols and pays the same as the regular wild.

The 200 Spins Mystic Staxx Experience

We land decent payouts on a regular basis in the highlights video, and you’ll also see a symbol stack upgrade via the Expand symbol towards the end. The video is 4 minutes long, and it should give you a pretty good idea of what this game has to offer. Hit the play button below, and see for yourself how we fared.

Review Summary

Bearing no resemblance to NetEnt’s Staxx series, Mystic Staxx is a rather simple game from partner studio Red Tiger.

The good news is that things heat up a bit when the stack size equals the number of rows per reel (that would be 6), and beyond. Wild stacks are useful all the way, and if you see this thing through, you will be rewarded with 3x3 wilds and massive stacks in the end. The 2,000x potential is not much of a motivator however, even though you can land that amount from a single spin.

Pros

• Each reel comes with stacked symbols
• Expand the stacks from 2 to 20 symbols
• This awards 3x3 mega wilds
• Win up to 2,000x your stake

Cons

• Not for impatient punters
• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
