Slot Features
The same it was with the original, the Avalanche feature remained in the sequel too, well, not a feature but more of a winning mechanic. Any symbol involved in a win will explode, and disappear while the remaining symbols tumble down to make room for more symbols.
Raising Multipliers
Why change something that is working fine, right? Well, Multipliers are another old element that is here to stay and is triggered when a multiplier symbol reaches the leftmost column, just next to the Obelisk. The obelisk is still set on the left from the reels, and it serves as a multiplier meter that will increase the current active multiplier with the multiplier value of the symbol. If the Multiplier symbol reaches the bottom row, it will shift one position leftwards, and it can happen once per cycle.
Wild
Wild is one of those regular symbols that pretty much always have the same role, and that is to substitute for any symbol in the game when it is possible to form a win, except the bonus and the multiplier scatter symbols.
Free Drops
If the Bonus symbol is the one that reaches the Obelisk on the left, the Free Drops bonus round will get triggered, and you will get awarded with 7 drops. During the feature, the multiplier scatter symbols are sticky and will be persistent till the feature ends. Additional Bonus symbols that reach the Obelisk during the feature will award extra 3 drops.
X-iter
X-iter has now become a well-established add-on to the majority of ELK Studio slots. When you open up the menu, you will get to choose your favourite, and the options include Super Bonus, Buy Bonus, W2, Multipliers and the Bonus Hunt.
Super Bonus will let you buy Free Drops round where Multiplier symbols are also Wild. Bonus will let you buy a game round which guarantees entry to free spins for x100 the bet. W2 is actually the Multiplier Wild where for one drop the multiplier symbols will behave as Wilds for x25 the bet. Multipliers will guarantee a Multiplier symbol for one drop for x10 the bet. Bonus Hunt will double your chances to trigger the Bonus round for x2 the bet.
Summary
Cygnus 2 is not that different from the original when we’re talking about features, and the only thing different is the option for the X-iter feature Buy option which we really grew to like. What is different here, is the math model which now, unlike the original, runs on 94% RTP which is a bit disappointing taking into count the high volatility but what’s changed, and for the better, is the max win cap which has significantly increased and is now sitting at x50000 the bet. Overall, looks like the sequel has just picked up where the original left off and carried on with the fun, so don’t miss your chance to give it a shot.
