Cygnus 3

It is safe to say that the playing field of Cygnus 3 is special.

Indeed, each spin of the 6 reels start with 4 symbols, but that number can be expanded per reel to a maximum of 8. This has everything to do with the waterfall mechanism. Making winning combinations is done by spinning at least 3 identical symbols on consecutive reels starting from the 1st reel. As a bonus for making the winning combination, an additional row of symbols is added up to the maximum of 8 symbols per row.

In the optimal case, this yields 262,144 different ways to win. After the spin ends, the size of the playing field resets to 6×4.

Does Cygnus 3 manage to surpass its predecessors?

In Cygnus 3, your bet each spin should be a minimum of $0.20 and a maximum of $100. Volatility is set at medium to high and you can win a maximum of 10,000 times your bet. Unfortunately, the RTP is a hefty setback, as it comes down to 94.00% in Cygnus 3. Of course, that has everything to do with the fact that there are jackpots to be won in Cygnus 3.

Features

Where the constellations in the sky can be seen, sometimes the Cygnus wheel will appear. This can yield nice prizes. What can also contribute to a nice win is the multiplier wild. And in addition, Cygnus 3 also features a free spins feature.

Cygnus wheel

You can activate the Cygnus wheel in Cygnus 3 by spinning a Cygnus wheel symbol on the 1st reel. The wheel will then start spinning in the sky, giving you 1 of the following prizes:

• Any one instant cash prize
• Any number of free spins
• 1 of 3 jackpots: Sky jackpot: $1,000, Star jackpot: $10,000 or the Cygnus jackpot: $100,000

The higher the stakes you play with, the greater your chances of winning 1 of the 3 jackpots. Unfortunately, this is not a progressive jackpot slot but the fixed jackpot is definitely high enough!

Comparison between Cygnus 3 and its predecessor

Multiplier wilds

Exactly what a multiplier wild does goes without saying, of course. As a wild, it can take the form of any pay symbol, meaning you can use it as a wild to complete or extend winning combinations. Attached to such a wild is a multiplier, which in Cygnus 3 is applied to all winning combinations during the active spin.

A multiplier wild whose multiplier has been used loses its status as a wild. Thus, it turns into a multiplier symbol. To calculate the total multiplier – which is applied to all winning combinations – during a spin, the multipliers of multiplier wilds and regular multiplier symbols are added together. Once a multiplier symbol manages to reach the bottom of the playfield, its status as a wild is reactivated. Unfortunately, this is only a one-time event.

Cygnus 3 free spins

Free spins can be earned in Cygnus 3 via the Cygnus wheel. You start the free spins feature with 4 symbols on each reel. Between spins, spun multiplier wilds and multiplier symbols are not removed from the playing area.

Instead, they fall to the bottom of the playfield. As in the base game, multiplier symbols that reach the bottom of the playfield turn back into multiplier wilds once. By reactivating the Cygnus wheel, you can earn additional free spins.
