Game rules

Cygnus 5 is a 6 column, 4 row slot with dropping symbols. The columns can expand upwards to a maximum of 8 rows.

The minimum bet is $ 0.20, and the maximum bet is $ 100.00. Each bet is 100 coins.

All wins begin with the first leftmost reel and only pay from left to right on consecutive reels. No gaps between the reels are allowed. Only the longest payline per active payline is paid out.

A game round starts on the selected bet level when the player hits the Spin button.

The game can be played automatically by activating Auto Spin. Hold down the Spin button or use the Auto Spin button to set the number of game rounds to be played automatically.

Winnings and winning combinations are paid out according to the Paytable.

Winnings are presented in the player's currency or in coins. The player can change preference in Settings.

Winnings are presented in the player's currency.

Cygnus 5 is played in two modes; normal mode and bonus mode with free drops.

All symbol drops start with 4 rows, 4,096 ways to win and no active multiplier.

All wins in the current symbol drop are collected and thereafter all symbols which were part of a winning combination explode. The remaining symbols fall vertically, slide to the left and then right repeatedly until they reach a resting position. An additional row is added at the top and new symbols drop in to fill the empty spaces. The Avalanche feature continues as long as new winning combinations appear.

Each additional symbol drop adds an additional row of symbols, up to a maximum of 8 rows. The number of ways to win increases as the number of rows increases.

• rows: 4,096 ways to win
• rows: 15,625 ways to win
• rows: 46,656 ways to win
• rows: 117,649 ways to win
• rows: 262,144 ways to win

The wild symbol substitutes for any symbol except the bonus, super bonus, prism and the multiplier symbols.

The prism symbol is activated when it reaches the bottom of the game grid. After the next symbol drop or immediately if placed by a Meteor Strike, it turns all symbols along lines in a random number of directions into the same payout symbol or wilds.

A prism symbol hitting another prism with its beam of light triggers a chain reaction, where all symbols along the selected lines turn into the same payout symbol or wild. Symbols in crossings turn into wilds.

Multipliers, bonus and super bonus symbols along a direction selected by a prism temporarily turn into the selected symbol. The feature symbols then return after the win evaluation.

Wild symbols are not affected by the prism.

A multiplier symbol that reaches the bottom or the leftmost column increases the current active multiplier before turning into a wild symbol. The multiplier increases and the symbol transition occurs prior to the payout.

The current active multiplier is applied to all subsequent wins in the ongoing game round.

The first multiplier symbol that reaches the bottom or the leftmost column activates the current multiplier and defines the start value.

Reaching the top of the multiplier pillar immediately pays the remaining amount required to reach the maximum win.

The current active multiplier is reset before the start of a new game round.

The Meteor Strike feature is triggered after a drop or after a symbol refill. When activated, a number of randomly selected payout symbols on the game grid are replaced by feature symbols.

Multiplier symbols perform their action first before the prism symbols if both feature symbols are activated in the same drop.

A bonus or super bonus symbol that ends up on the bottom row in columns 2 to 6 is removed and dropped down again in the column one step further to the left, if possible. The replacement occurs at the end of the current Avalanche cycle, and only once per cycle.

A bonus or super bonus symbol that reaches the leftmost column triggers bonus mode with free drops. 7 free drops are awarded, and the current active multiplier is carried into the bonus game. The bonus game starts when there are no more winning combinations.

Triggering the super bonus game guarantees a Meteor Strike in every free drop.

A bonus symbol that reaches the leftmost column during bonus mode retriggers additional free drops. If a super bonus symbol reaches the leftmost column it retriggers additional free drops and the ongoing bonus game is upgraded to a super bonus game, which guarantees a Meteor Strike in every remaining free drop.

Each new free drop starts with 4 rows and with the current active multiplier. The active multiplier is persistent throughout the bonus game.

The free drops bonus game ends when no free drops remain or when the win cap has been reached.

Winnings are paid out at the end of the bonus mode.

 No bets can be changed during an ongoing game round.

 A game round is immediately ended when the win cap is reached, and the wins collected will be paid out.

 The theoretical payout (RTP) in Cygnus 5 is 94.0%

 The maximum total win in a game round is capped at 50 000x the placed bet.

 In the event of malfunction all bets and wins are void.
