Cygnus

Game Specifications

Slot Review

If you have not played Cygnus or its sequels, you should consider giving it a few demo spins. The slot is widely recognized and loved by players worldwide. It was 29th in our Most Popular Slots in 2020 and 50th in 2021. These ratings are based on real play data we receive from a number of popular gaming sites.

The slot explores the night sky and focuses on the Cygnus constellation that is known for its alignment with Giza pyramids, hence the use of the Egyptian theme. Cygnus translates to swan, and this explains the flying bird you can see on the right side of the screen.

Features

There isn’t too much stuff packed into this slot, but enough to make it an appealing one. Because of the gravity mechanics, the whole dynamics of the slot is different, and the way features trigger is also different. For instance, to earn the entry into free rounds, players need to have a special bonus symbol landing on the first reel.

Avalanche

By looking at the game, one might think that this is a cluster slot. But it’s not. Cygnus is a win ways type of title. It features the Avalanche feature, which removes winning combinations to clear space for new icons.

One thing that makes it more interesting is that after every avalanche cycle, one new row is added to the existing grid. The initial number of rows is 4 and it goes up to 8.

Increasing Multiplier

Increasing multiplier is another element players would love to land. It starts at x2 and can double in size until it reaches its x64 maximum. It isn’t easy to activate and upgrade multipliers because they not only have to land in view, but also reach the bottom row. This typically requires a number of consecutive avalanches.

Free Drops

As mentioned above, Cygnus unlocks 7 free games when a special symbol reaches the left pillar. To boost the potential of the feature, the grid expands to its maximum height, which is 8 rows. Plus, multiplier symbols become sticky, and you therefore have higher chances of getting the top x64 multiplier.

Conclusion

Cygnus is a wonderful slot machine that offers a unique experience. It invites players to explore the night sky and the exciting Gravity mechanics. There’s something especially appealing in the way symbols fall left and right after each cascade, and the set of features is just right to strike a chord with players.
