A Galactic Star-Studded Slot Packed with Gravitational Forces and 262,144 Ways to Win? Can Only be Cygnus!

Cygnus is the latest release in a long line of ancient Egyptian slots from Elk Studios, but what does it offer that the scores of other slots don’t? It’s pretty spectacular stuff believe me, and I for one am fed up with seeing scarab beetles and hieroglyphics. 

In the words of DJ Khaled, Cygnus is indeed “Another One” but unlike the umpteen other releases, this one offers a truly unique gaming experience. Typically, these types of slots come with a Pharaoh or two and maybe even a Cleopatra, along with the usual ankh, beetle and Anubis symbols but this offers nothing of the sort. 

To give you a little insight into what to expect, here’s a little extract from the inventor – Elk Studios; “One of the brightest stars in the night sky is Deneb. It’s part of the Northern Cross constellation, also known as Cygnus. Although its 700 million light-years from earth, its exact alignment to the Giza pyramids in Egypt is unquestionable. The bond between them creates a galactic connection unlike any other. A connection that challenges everything you’ve ever known.”

Star-Studded Line-Up

A completely new mechanic has been devised for this mobile optimized slot – gravity, which allows for symbols to slide from left to right with the potential to bring all of them into play (hey, this means huge wins). Intrigued? You will be when I tell you that the max win exposure is a whopping £500K. Bonuses are relatively simple to grasp, although it may take players a little while to get used to the gravitational element.

Symbols on the gaming area may surprise you; there’s 6 reels in play during the base game each bearing four symbols. Certain features could see these same reels expand to carry 8 symbols – here’s how it works…

…all symbols are avalanche symbols; when a win is found, symbols explode with new ones falling into place. You know how this works; the symbols keep exploding until there are no new winning combinations found. Each win will increase the number of symbols on the reels (up to the max of 8). Each consecutive scatter multiplier symbol (the x) reaching the bottom row will increase the multiplier value up; 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x and 64x. The active multiplier will be applied to your winnings.

When the bonus symbol (looks similar to wonder woman’s crown) reaches the left pillar, the free drops game begins (bonus spins); a game played with 8 rows with scatter symbols remaining sticky for the duration. Wilds (the w) can help form wins in both the base game and the bonus game.

For the more experienced casino game players amongst you, there’s an additional betting strategy feature that can limit your losses and boost your winnings however, they are not guaranteed.
