Cygnus 3

Cygnus was set in Ancient Rome, Cygnus 2 in an observatory, and now the Cygnus 3 slot from ELK Studios travels to Ancient Rome. A slot fit for an emperor with an impressive design, a unique reel setup, amazing gameplay features, and a max win of 10,000x bet, this slot is a truly immersive experience.

Cygnus 3 slot game has a cascading reel feature with a twist. Every time a cascade occurs, the number of rows in each reel will expand for the chance at extra wins. This can go to a maximum of eight symbols high. On top of this fun mechanic, there are numerous features to look out for:

There are two types of multiplying symbols that can land on the reels of the Cygnus 3 slot, wilds and normal symbols. If a wild is part of a win, it will add its value and the value of any multiplying symbols on the reels. The triggering wild will then turn into a normal multiplier symbol. If a previously wild symbol makes it to the bottom of the reels through cascades, it will revert back to a wild symbol and regain its previous power.

As the reels drop as opposed to spin, the feature here is known as Free Drops. Triggered via the Cygnus Wheel (see below). Each drop starts with four rows of symbols and expands with cascades. Any multiplier symbols that reach the bottom will stick in place, so the multiplier can only stick or raise, never lower. As in the base game, any wild multipliers reaching the bottom row will regain their wild ability for the next spin.

If a Cygnus Wheel symbol reaches the first reel via cascades, it will trigger a spin of the titular wheel. The Cygnus wheel offers a variety of possible prizes, including instant wins. The biggest prize here, though is the three jackpots, with the largest, the Cygnus, being worth £100,000.

Released by ELK Studios in July 2023, Cygnus 3 is the third instalment in the popular franchise. This time, players are transported to an Ancient Roman Colosseum, which looms in the background of the set. The unique reelset and incredible artwork create an epic experience here, something that is brought further to life with a fitting soundtrack.

ELK Studios has produced a host of super entertaining slots with unique approaches to gameplay and design. Some other great options from the developer are Blood Lust, Vegas Diamonds, and Taco Brothers.

Three or more symbols in combination will trigger a win in the base game of Cygnus 3. There are seven symbols to look out for here, three lower-value gems, three medium-value animals, and the premium, wreath symbol, the latter of which pays out up to 10x your bet (for six in a row).
Winning combinations are gained when symbols land on adjacent reels starting from the first. There are no paylines per se, as long as each reel from the first has a matching symbol, the combination pays. Wild symbols can act as substitutes for any regular symbol to help form winning combinations.

Before you start playing the Cygnus 3 slot, you’ll want to first check the current bet per spin. This value can be found displayed in the bottom right-hand corner of the slot at all times. If you want to change your stake value, you can do so by selecting the stack of coins icon, which will show all available bet costs.
