cygnus 2 slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Video game fans will immediately notice that Cygnus 2 bears more than a passing resemblance to puzzle video games such as the Bust-A-Move franchise. I’m actually a little surprised that ELK Studios did not position the symbol stack at the top of the screen – perhaps that idea was a bit too wild for them! There are obvious similarities between this game and ELK Studios Bompers, although that game had a fair lower maximum bet and a higher RTP. If you enjoy bubble-popping puzzle games and this slot appeals to you, then it may be worth checking out our AvatarUX reviews, as their Popwins franchise includes several more games of this style.

Okay, we know that the headline jackpot figure is a bit of a monster, but what about the regular paytable wins? It’s a bit of a mixed bag if I’m honest; the highest-paying symbol is an image of the sun and has a return of 15x your bet for a full payway of six of a kind, but the second-placed lion symbol is worth just 1.2x for all six of those. There is just one more “high-paying” symbol, a ram, but the return for that one is even worse at just 0.8x the bet for a full payway. The lower-paying section includes red, green, and blue geometric shapes, which have the same return of 0.2x your bet for each full payway.

Most of the ELK Studios slots we have reviewed recently share the same wagering setup with minimum/maximum bets of €0.20 and €100.00, respectively. These limits should cater for the high and low rollers, but there is a definite lack of intermediate bets, with just ten wagers offered between the two extremes.

base game & MODIFIERS

When you first begin to play Cygnus 2, the playfield will always hold four rows of six symbols each. Winning combinations consist of three or more matching symbols in adjacent columns starting from the left – the rows are not important here, as this is a payways slot. 

Each time a winning combination lands on the stack, it will explode, leaving space for additional symbols to drop. Each time this occurs, one additional row will be added to the playfield up to a maximum of eight rows.
