Cygnus 3 Slot by ELK Studios

A special wheel symbol needs to work its way to the leftmost column before anything else happens. Once it gets there, you spin the Cygnus Wheel - one spin, three possible outcomes. It either awards one of three fixed jackpots (100,000, 10,000, or 1,000 EUR at the 1.00 bet level), pays an instant cash prize, or opens the free drops bonus. Jackpots and instant wins end the round immediately. Only the free drops outcome leads to the bonus mode. And the wheel sector sizes on screen don't reflect actual probabilities, so ignore the visual weighting. Higher bet levels shift the odds toward jackpot outcomes.

The multiplier wild is the trickiest symbol in the series. It starts as a wild and a multiplier at the same time. Use it as a wild in a winning combo and the wild part switches off - it stays on the grid as a plain multiplier only. But if it drops to the bottom row for the first time, the wild reactivates. Multiple multiplier symbols on screen add their values together before applying to wins, so a x3 and x5 sitting on the expanding grid means x8 across every winning combination that spin. The grid itself works the same as earlier Cygnus entries - winning symbols explode, new ones fall in, and each avalanche cycle adds a row up to eight, pushing ways from 4,096 all the way to 262,144. During the free drops bonus, multiplier symbols that reach the bottom row persist between drops and carry their values forward.

Gold coin-style symbols spin between marble Corinthian columns against the Roman Colosseum at night, the Cygnus constellation glowing in the purple sky above. The X-iter menu offers five tiers. Bonus Hunt at 2x doubles the wheel trigger chance. Multiplier Wild at 10x guarantees one worth at least x5. Rising Multiplier Wilds at 25x makes multiplier values climb after every win. The 100x tier guarantees a wheel spin. And the 500x Super option guarantees the wheel plus, if it lands on free drops, all multipliers escalate after every win for the entire bonus session.
