Cygnus 3

About Cygnus 3

Cygnus 3 is an ELK Studios slot with Avalanche wins on a six-column grid that grows from 4 rows to 8 rows, taking the ways to win from 4,096 up to 262,144. Each extra drop in an Avalanche sequence adds a row. The Cygnus Wheel sits on top of that, with Free Drops and three jackpots among its outcomes.

At Midnite, stakes start from £0.20 per spin and the RTP is 94.0%. The maximum total round win is capped at 10,000x placed bet, or the value of the Cygnus jackpot, and the round ends once the cap is reached. ELK released this third Cygnus game in July 2023.

How to Play Cygnus 3

Choose a stake and spin. Wins form across adjacent columns from the left, and the grid starts at six columns by four rows, giving 4,096 ways. Winning symbols drop out and new ones fall in. With each additional drop the grid expands, up to eight rows and 262,144 ways, and it resets for the next paid spin.

The Cygnus Wheel triggers when a Cygnus symbol reaches the leftmost column through the Avalanches. A spin of the wheel can award an instant prize, the Free Drops bonus or one of the Sky, Star and Cygnus jackpots. Free Drops keep Wild and multiplier Wild symbols in play at the bottom of the grid, and the in-game help shows the exact rules for each mode.

Cygnus 3 Features

• Avalanche: Winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in, so one paid spin can produce several wins.
• Expanding Grid: Each additional drop adds a row, growing the grid from 6x4 (4,096 ways) to 6x8 (262,144 ways).
• Cygnus Wheel: Triggered when a Cygnus symbol reaches the leftmost column. Outcomes include instant prizes, Free Drops and jackpots.
• Free Drops: A bonus round from the Cygnus Wheel, with multipliers and multiplier Wilds collecting at the bottom of the grid.
• Wild and Multiplier Wild: A multiplier Wild becomes a regular multiplier after it is part of a win, and multiplier values add together before they apply.
• Jackpots: The wheel can award the Sky, Star or Cygnus jackpot. At a £1 stake, the game displayed the Cygnus jackpot at £100,000, the Star at £10,000 and the Sky at £1,000. Check the in-game display for current values.
• X-iter: Available in some markets but not in the UK. UK players cannot use X-iter modes, including the higher-stake Bonus Hunt option, due to UK Gambling Commission regulations around bet boosters and bonus purchases. UK players can still reach the Cygnus Wheel and Free Drops through standard play.

Cygnus 3 Theme and Symbols

The grid sits in a Colosseum-style arena at night under a starry sky. The name comes from the Cygnus constellation, the swan that Greek myth says Zeus placed in the heavens, and the series frames it around a secret star-gazing society.

The Cygnus symbol is the one to watch, as its path to the leftmost column triggers the wheel. Wilds, multiplier Wilds and multiplier symbols sit alongside the regular pays.
