Cubes 2 (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Cubes 2 Overview

Cubes 2 landed in February 2021 from Hacksaw Gaming. On a 5x5 grid that can stretch to 11x11, you link five or more same‑colour cubes to score cluster wins. There are no wilds or scatters, just colours, corner X markers, and a clean set‑up that plays fast on any device. I rate the hit profile as high variance, with a max win of 10,500x. The draw is simple: expanding grids, sticky colour play in bonuses, and corner multipliers that can turn small clusters into tidy payouts.

Winning on Cubes 2 Slot: Paytable & Paylines

All six colours pay the same. The base paytable scales with cluster size: 5 pays 0.10x, 6 pays 0.2x, 7 pays 0.3x, 8 pays 1.5x, 9 pays 3x, 10–11 pays 4x, 12–14 pays 10x, 15–19 pays 24x, 20–24 pays 32x, and 25 or more pays 40x your bet. Wins pay when five or more matching cubes connect horizontally or vertically anywhere on the grid, and the grid can expand between wins during the same sequence.

As clusters grow on the expanded grid, payouts can spike. Notable thresholds include 50 in a cluster paying 500x, 70 paying 2,500x, and 90 paying 7,000x before any corner effects. Final totals can climb further when corner multipliers apply. Because every colour follows the same ladder, I focus on building size rather than hunting a specific shade. The game’s flow rewards patience: small base hits, then a step up when the grid opens and clusters stack across the centre.

Features of Cubes 2 Slots

The expanding grid is the heart of Cubes 2. Each winning connection stretches the 5x5 board outward, up to 11x11, and keeps stretching while new wins land. I treat this like free progress between outcomes: the board grows, clusters connect in fresh lines, and only when no further wins land does the round settle my payout. That growth pattern is where sessions turn, especially when a win spawns in the middle rows and opens lanes in two directions.

Corner multipliers add weight to cluster wins. Each corner carries an X. If a corner joins a winning cluster, its X flips into a number equal to the cluster size, and that number applies as a multiplier. When a cluster links through more than one corner, the values can be totalled first and then applied to the win. I try to build clusters towards corners when the grid is mid‑expansion, as one link across a corner can lift an otherwise modest return.

Free spins trigger when five or more winning clusters in multiple colours land in a single spin. You start with 5 free spins and a pick‑up that can award more, up to 12 in total. A revealed colour turns sticky for the whole bonus, and the grid size does not shrink between free spins. The bonus buy offers two choices: Multi‑Color at 109x and Color Blast at 129x. Sticky colours are in play, and buy RTP sits around 96.30%.

Instruction on How to Play Cubes 2 Slot Machine

Set your stake between 0.20 and 100 per spin. Autoplay supports 10 to 1,000 spins, with advanced options to stop on a win, set a loss limit up to 50x or custom, and cap a single win. The menu toggles music and sound, shows the paytable, and offers turbo. I like to open with the demo, fire 100 auto spins, and note how cluster sizes map to the ladder. Once I’m in rhythm, I adjust speed and bet to suit my session plan.

If you want to sample the feature round, the buy button sits on the left. I often test Multi‑Color first, then compare it with Color Blast across a few buys. For regular play, small bets help stretch time on the expanding grid, which is where value lands. If my planned outlay for a sitting is gone, I stop and pick it up later. The game flows quickly, and sticking to the controls keeps the swingy patches from getting away.

RTP and Volatility in Cubes 2

Cubes 2 runs at 96.33% RTP with high volatility. Some venues use RTP ranges, with settings reported from 92% up to 96.33%. To check, open the in‑game info while in real money mode and look for the line that states the theoretical RTP. Bonus buys tend to sit near 96.30%. Swings can be long, but corner multipliers and a growing grid can flip results fast, and the max win caps at 10,500x. I size stakes with those stretches in mind.

Free Online Slot Cubes 2 on Mobile

Built in HTML5, Cubes 2 runs in the browser on Android and iOS without download. Portrait and landscape both feel natural, with clear buttons and a tidy control strip. Autoplay, turbo, the buy feature, and the pick‑up all work smoothly on touch. I’ve had the 5x5 board expand cleanly to 11x11 on mobile with no hiccups. Sound and music can be switched off in the menu if you want a quieter session, and the layout keeps the colours crisp on smaller screens.
