3 Butterflies Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

Introduction

It makes a nice change for a five-reel slot to have four rows rather than three, but that’s not all that’s special in the latest Red Rake Gaming slot demo. The 50 paylines are just a small part of the winning potential in a slot that has a free spins round, a bonus game round and some very special Flying Wilds that both expand and bring multipliers. If you’re looking for a nature themed slot, this one is full of depth as well as gorgeous graphics.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

3 Butterflies presents an idyllic journey into a beautiful woodland - as long as you’re not scared of bugs! The trees and flowers that surround the reels are joined by dozens of dazzling beautiful butterflies in a whole range of vivid colours. The reels themselves host more butterflies (three of them, like the title says), but also caterpillars, wasps and ladybirds. Once you start playing, you’ll also hear some birdsong amid the gentle flutes and pianos of a perfect soundtrack for your woodland walk. This whole theme has been drawn in gorgeous detail and will appeal to those who enjoyed the Butterfly Staxx slot.

3 Butterflies RTP & Volatility

The stated average return for 3 Butterflies is right on the 96% line that you want when choosing a slot. As always, this is just a guideline figure subject to potential higher or lower variations. There’s no official information on volatility or frequency of wins.

How to Play 3 Butterflies

Step into the woodland, listen to the birdsong and follow these simple steps to see the butterflies fly:

1. Everything you need is under the reels. Start on the left. There’s a display for your current balance, and under it is a paytable button. Click that and scroll through the pages to make doubly sure you know how everything works.

2. Moving along, travelling right, you have a display for your most recent win, then a display for your Total Bet right next to it.

3. Look under the Total Bet display next as that’s where you’ll find the plus and minus symbols that control the bet adjustor. Make sure your wager is at your preferred level before you start.

4. There are two buttons left. Auto Spin will open a menu where you can set five, 10, 20, 50 or 100 automatic spins but can’t add any win or loss limits. The last button is Spin, which will give you one manual spin at a time, leaving you in complete control.

5. If you want a bit more info on the game before you play, go to the bottom left of the screen. There’s a Menu button with history and help options as well as volume, full screen and replay controls. You’ve also got some slightly clearer balance, bet and win displays.

7. All that’s left is to set your budget. Even if you’re playing for free, it’s good practice to set the same limits you would in a real money game and it makes sure the slot stays fun.

Bet & Win Sizes

The bet adjustor will take your total bet through the impressive range of 0.10 to 200.00, which should satisfy most players. There’s no Max Bet button, so you do have to click through quite a few times if you want to go to the top.

There’s not a lot of variation in how much you can win, with only two payment levels between the ten regular symbols:

Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, Clubs - 5, 15, 75

Caterpillar, Wasp, Ladybird, Purple Butterfly, Orange Butterfly, Blue Butterfly - 20, 100, 500

You do have some special symbols as well, which have their own values:

Flying Wild - 50, 300, 1000

Crystal Butterfly:

Red - 250

Blue - 500

Yellow - 300

3 Butterflies Bonus Features & Free Spins

Flying Wilds

These can appear on any reel except the fifth and will expand so that one Wild can take up four positions at once (as a 2x2 square). When they overlap, they become multipliers, starting at 2x for blue, then 3x for purple, 4x for orange, 5x for green and a maximum 6x for red. That means lots of opportunities for increasing wins.

Flowers Bonus Game

Every time you find the Crystal Butterfly, you’ll have a chance to add increments to the progress bar. If it’s not a winning spin, part of your bet will be put aside so that when the bar is filled, you’ll have a potential jackpot ready for the Flowers Mini Game. This could mean a x1000 multiplier.

Free Spins

The Bonus symbol appears on the first, third and fifth reels, and a 1x multiplier can be used to trigger free spins. You’ll get seven free spins for three Bonus symbols with the potential to trigger seven more during the free spins round. The free spins round also has extra Flying Wilds.

Our Verdict

This is a very pretty game, but there’s much more to it than its looks. The depth of the features - the many multipliers, the addition of a bonus game as well as the free spins round, the progressive jackpot opportunities - make it complex and rewarding to play. The only area that seems a bit thin is the regular paytable, where most symbols come with the same payout.
