Microgaming have teamed up with Hacksaw Gaming to bring you Cubes. Cubes is a video slot based on the iconic Rubik’s Cube, is a medium variance game and has an RTP of 96.35%. You can win up to 3000x you wager, with bets starting from 20p up to £100 per spin.

Cubes Design

Cubes is a simple yet striking design, set on a 5 x 5 grid with 6 bright and bold coloured squares. The aim of the game is to land matching colours and you need at least 5 matching colours to win. The cubes range in value from 0.1x for 5 up to 40x  for 25+ and the simple design means it’s super easy for newbies or casual players to get straight into.

Gameplay and features

It’s a simple game but the bonus features are what keep your attention. There are no scatter symbols here, but there is an expanding reels feature which triggers when consecutive wins occur. Reels expand from 5 x 5, to 6 x 6 and all the way up to 11 x 11. When the grid is expanded fully, you can win up to 3000x your wager.There is also a multiplier which is the white X. Any time you land a win with a symbol with the white X above, this multiplies the cube values in each cluster.The free spins bonus triggers when 5 or more different coloured cluster combinations appear in a round. Each time this combination occurs, you get a letter at the top of the grid. When the letters spell out CUBES, the free spins round comes into play.

Verdict

If you enjoy simple, no-frills slot games, with no complex features that you can get stuck into straight away, you’ll love Cubes. You can win up to £300,000 and the easy to understand gameplay makes it a popular choice for players of all experiences.
