Cygnus 2

Good news! ELK Studios are back with a sequel to the original Cygnus, which was met with many positive comments when it was released back in late 2019. This game was packed with features and huge winning potential, with the same holding true for the second in this series of slots online.

The word Cygnus actually refers to the Northern Cross constellation, which contains the brightest star in the sky. ELK Studios have tried to replicate this in the world of online slots, by making a game that outshines the competition. While they have had many big hits in the past, with games such as The Grand Galore and Zulu Gold, Cygnus is a series popular with many punters. 

With Cygnus 2, you can play with 0.20 per spin, all the way up to 100.00, making this slot suitable for everyone. The maximum win is an incredibly exciting 50,000x your bet size. Yes, you read that correctly. For anyone that wants to spin on the maximum bet size, you have the opportunity to win a mouth-watering 5 million. 

There is also an avalanche feature within this game, meaning that matching symbols disappear after paying out. Symbols above will then fall, giving you the opportunity to match even more. Additionally, a fresh set of symbols will be dropped until there are no more matches. The gravity mechanic in this game ensures that icons are spread evenly, making even more room for new ones to fall into place! 

The symbols in Cygnus 2 are similar to the original but have been changed and reskinned for a more modern look. Starting with the lowest paying symbols, there are sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. All of the aforementioned gems pay the same, with a small 0.2x reward for matching 6.  

From there, we have a scorpion, followed by a goat and a lion. These symbols have golden edges, which will help you to identify them as premium icons. Finally, there is an all-gold sun, which is the top paying symbol in the game. Matching 6 suns will give you 30x your bet. 

One feature within Cygnus 2 happens within the base game. This is known as Rising Multipliers and has the potential to supercharge your winnings. When a multiplier symbol is dropped into the game and reaches column 1, it will be added to the win multiplier for each combination until the end of the round. These symbols can award 2x, 4x, 5x, or 10x your winnings!  

Now let's take a look at the main bonus, which is activated in a similar way to the aforementioned multiplier. Once the bonus symbol is on the board, getting it to the far left of your screen will trigger seven free spins. The bonus mode is similar to the base game, but with one major difference: Any multipliers that are awarded will stay in place, not reset between spins.  

In conclusion, this sequel definitely does not disappoint. While Cygnus 2 does have some familiar-looking symbols and a consistent feel, it has enough fresh features to keep punters engaged.
