Cubes 2

Cubes 2

Cubes 2, a slot by Hacksaw Gaming, is a powerful sequel to their previous Cubes slot. Hacksaw Gaming has made some major tweaks while greatly expanding some key features of the original game. You will be greeted, when you play this game, by a solid-coloured, ultra-futuristic game design, which tends to neon colours and is very pleasing to the eye. This slot features a very respectable RTP of 96.30%, combined with very high volatility. The win potential is an impressive 10,500x your original bet, which is exciting considering that the wins are very frequent compared to other slots of this type. The game itself features a unique expanding grid mechanic where you can go from the starting 5×5 grid up to an 11×11 layout in a flash. This makes for a unique and fun gaming experience.

What Cubes 2 is all about

The Cubes 2 slot is unique. In fact, its appearance may even surprise you at first, especially if you are used to other, more traditional types of slots. It truly looks like something from another dimension! Also, every coloured square represents a different symbol, and there are no wild or scatter symbols to look for. The game has many interesting features that will be discussed below, but perhaps the most unique feature is the “Buy Bonus” button. This allows you to spend credits to force the start of the bonus round. You have to pay 109x your current stake for this, which may increase your winnings. Of course, there are more unique features to this game as well. We will talk about them below.

Cube 2's amazing expanding reels mechanic

The game starts out in a 5×5 format, but that's just the beginning! As you play, you can unlock an expansion to a 7×7 grid. The next step would be a 9×9 grid. After that, you finally graduate to the game's maximum expression, which is an 11x11 grid. Each increase brings with it larger bonus multipliers, which grow in proportion to the increases in grid size. You want to pay particular attention to the corner squares, as these have the potential (each of them in its own right) to increase your winnings. Each of the 4 corners of the grid has its own special multiplier. It's also important to mention that wins are sticky in this game and that the multipliers are linked to the number of squares in a winning cluster.

Colour Blast Bonus Spins

As mentioned above, there are two different bonus spins bonuses to be won in Cubes 2. The first one we will talk about is called the Colour Blast bonus spins feature. This bonus spins bonus round works by featuring a specific colour, which will then get blasted all over the background. When you enter this bonus spins bonus mode, the grid will revert to its original 5×5 state. However, it will go back to 11×11 quickly in many cases in this bonus mode, and stay there for the remaining bonus spins you have. The best part of this bonus round is that all wins in the selected colour will be sticky with any other adjacent colour symbols. As you pass thresholds, you will increase your win bonus, potentially all the way up to 7000 times your bet.

Multi Colour Bonus Spins

The second bonus spins bonus that the Cubes 2 online slot offers is called the Multi Colour bonus spins bonus. This also works in a very unique way. It activates when all four of the game's corner multipliers, in a single sequence of spins, are of the same colour, but they can be the same sequence or combined sequences. Before each round starts, you will see five "mystery cubes" covered on the screen. Pick them one at a time, and they will reveal themselves and their colours. You can win anywhere from 5 to 10 bonus spins in this manner. Like the Colour Blast bonus spins, the grid will revert to 5x5. However, this shouldn't be a problem in many cases, as you can build it straight back up to 11x11 very quickly.
