- A sequel from Elk Studios with much bigger payouts
- Now you can win up to 50,000x your stake
- Quite a low RTP but still pretty impressive
Cygnus 2 slot from Elk Studios is a follow up to their impressive, original Cygnus slot. This time you have a different setting, though it’s still just as visually appealing, and in addition the win potential has gone up significantly. It’s a cluster pays slot with avalanches, multipliers and free spins. Just keep an eye out for the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Blue, Green or Red Jewel
- Scorpion
- Ram
- Lion
- Sun
Don’t forget there’s a wild symbol as well. This substitutes for all others in a winning combination apart from the bonus and multiplier symbols.
Cygnus 2 Slot Bonuses and Features
Multipliers. Multiplier symbols can land in this game, and when they reach the leftmost column, the rising multiplier feature is triggered. This will increase the current multiplier with the value of the symbol that reaches the left.
Avalanches. As you might expect from a game like this, there are avalanches. Any symbols that are part of a win will explode, allowing new symbols to fall in from above and replace them. In addition, another row is symbols is added to the top, giving you up to a maximum of 8 rows. Avalanches continue until there are no more wins.
Free Spins Bonus. To trigger this, you’ll need a bonus symbol to reach the left most reel. During these spins, the active multiplier is in play for all spins. You get 7 spins to start with, plus another 3 for each bonus symbol that makes it to the left. You can build up your multiplier in the same way, and it carries over from when the bonus is triggered.
Conclusion
Cygnus 2 slot from Elk Studios is in many ways quite similar to the original, but the biggest difference is the drastic increase in win potential up to 50,000x. Unfortunately though, the RTP is just 94% which may well put some players off and it’s a bit of a shame. The best way to get the big wins is through some high multipliers in the free spins bonus, but the base game can still pay reasonably well. I quite like it, but the low RTP could be a deal breaker.
