Cygnus

ELK Studios introduces you to the mystical constellation through its unique slot game, Cygnus. This celestial-themed game, whose success has led to several sequels, is based in ancient Egypt, directly below a shimmering night sky filled with twinkling stars and cosmic wonders. An ancient pyramid sits behind the main grid while intricate animations bring the slot to life. 

The six-reel Cygnus slot offers plenty of entertaining features and ways to win. Standard symbols include a variety of Egyptian animals, including camels and cats, and the grid features thousands of winning combinations per spin. 

Cygnus has an RTP of 96.10% and a high variance. It supports a range of bet limits designed to accommodate both casual players and high rollers and has simple rules, making it a top choice amongst new slot players. 

Navigate Through the Cosmos 

To start playing Cygnus online, click the coins icon and choose one of the preset bet values. Next, click the spin button located in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. 

At the start of a new round, current symbols drop off the grid and are placed by new ones. These take a random position across the grid’s six columns. Initially, each column is four rows high but can expand through the slot’s bonus features. 

With four rows per column, the Cygnus slot has 4,096 ways to win. To create a winning combination, matching payout symbols must land on adjoining columns starting from the leftmost column. 

There are seven standard payout symbols in the game, and of these, the 7 is the most valuable. Landing between three and six 7s pays between 5x and 30x. Cat, camel, and bird symbols come next, with maximum payouts of between 3x, 2x, and 0.8x respectively. 

Like other popular online slots, including Cygnus slot sequels, the game includes wild symbols. Wilds substitute all payout symbols to complete or grow winning combinations but do not provide additional prizes. 

Cygnus Features 

Several bonus features can trigger randomly or with certainty in specific stages of the game. Combined, these features deliver a cosmic gaming experience, making Cygnus one of the top slots at our online casino. 

Avalanche Wins 

Whenever a winning combination is formed on the Cygnus slot, winning symbols pay out before disappearing from the grid. The Avalanche Feature then activates, allowing new symbols to take their place and adding an extra row to the top of the grid. 

If the Avalanche Feature results in another winning combination, the feature retriggers, adding a further row to the grid. In all, the Cygnus slot can expand to eight rows, developing 262,144 different ways to win. 

Multiplier Symbols 

Special multiplier symbols can land across the Cygnus grid in both the base and bonus rounds. Whenever one of these symbols gets to the bottom of the grid, either through a drop or avalanche, it increases the base stake multiplier. 

The first multiplier symbol to reach the bottom row during a Cygnus slot spin raises the multiplier to 2x. Subsequent symbols raise the multiplier to 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, and finally, 64x. 

Cygnus Free Drops 

If a bonus symbol reaches the leftmost column through a regular drop or avalanche, it triggers the Free Drops bonus. This bonus is played with a fully expanded grid featuring eight rows and consists of seven free drops. 

During the bonus, every bonus symbol that reaches the first column retriggers the bonus. In addition, multiplier scatters become sticky, remaining on the grid until the end of the feature. The bonus continues to be played until there are no more free drops left if the maximum win limit has been reached.
