About Cygnus
Released on 4 December 2019, Cygnus is THE original slot in the Cygnus series at ELK Studios — the founder of the Rolling Symbols mechanic and the long, cult-favourite Egyptian lineage that followed (Cygnus 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). RTP 96.10% — TOP of the ELK catalogue (tied with the original Nitropolis), high volatility, max win of 5,000x — light next to the sequels. Format: 5 reels. Ancient Egypt theme with pharaohs and treasure. Signature mechanic: Rolling Symbols (symbols tumble down rather than spinning traditionally — the precursor to the more complex Avalanches used in the sequels). Free Spins are triggered via scatters. Bets range from 0.20€ to 100€. No Bonus Buy. Cygnus is essential for understanding how the series evolved — the sequels (Cygnus 2-6) progressively raise the max win up to 50,000x and add expanding reels, Meteor Strikes, Prism Transformations and Super Free Spins.
