Cygnus 2

Moving from the over-used Ancient Egypt theme straight into something far more intriguing with enhancements and improvements, Cygnus 2 online slot from ELK Studios is here.

Don’t get us wrong, the original Cygnus release had an impressive scenario as well but, there’s something quite calming about this online edition, and not to mention the excitement when it comes to the gameplay experience with up to 262,144 winning ways and wins of up to 50,000x the stake.

Let’s take a closer look at the night sky setting.

Theme and Symbols

What appears to be an observation chamber is what serves as the title’s background with an open view of the night sky and, of course, the Cygnus constellation as the highlight. The graphics are quite sharp, and the overall atmosphere becomes that much more enjoyable once you hit the sound button.

In terms of paying symbols, there are Sun, Lion, Ram, Scorpion and 3 lesser valued Gemstones, all carved into discs. The title also contains a Wild Symbol, easily recognizable, Scatter and Multiplier Icons.

Betting Options and Features

Just like its predecessor, Cygnus 2 online slot comes with a starting gameplay area of 6 reels, 4 rows and 4,096 ways to win which can expand up to a maximum of 8 rows and 262,144 winning ways.

This is accomplished by landing winning combinations which are followed by the Avalanche mechanic. Each Avalanche increases the row height by 1, up to a maximum of 8.

The title is of high volatility, rated at 8/10 by ELK Studios casino software, while the RTP orbits at 94%. The highest win reaches its limit at 50,000x the stake. As far as the betting range is concerned, stakes range from 0,20 - 100,00 credits per spin.

Multiplier Symbols - The Rising Multiplier Feature starts once the Multiplier Symbol reaches the left-most position, increasing the current active multiplier with its value. The multiplier resets after each round.

Bonus Game - Similar to the one above, as soon as the Bonus Symbol makes it to the left-most column, the round starts with 7 Free Drops. In case there’s an active multiplier, it is carried over to the bonus round and it does not reset in between Free Drops.

It is also possible to win more Free Drops by obtaining the Bonus Symbol on the left-most column during the feature.

Lastly, the popular ELK Studio’s X-iter feature is also available. It offers players with 5 options, each being different in its use and the cost it comes with.

Wrapping Up

As incredible as ELK Studio’s online slots already are, this studio never stops to amaze us with their creativity and innovative skills. The Cygnus 2 online slot is a perfect example of this, presenting punters with a combination of old and new with a far better potential.
