Then, when you’re ready to play, return to this page and hit the game tile to open the game. Set against ancient Incan ruins, the game grid consists of six columns of symbols flanked by two great stone pillars. One side displays the game’s multiplier; the other the active star constellation.
Start your game by tapping the coin stack to see your wagering options and set your stake. Then, when satisfied, hit the white-and-grey spin button to play.
The reels are filled with a series of colourful circular symbols, including low-value gemstones and high-value animals such as a bird, snake, and bear. The top-paying symbol is the star, which pays up to 5x the bet for matching six of a kind along a payline.
In the paytable below, you can see the payouts offered for hitting payline wins with a £1.00 per spin wager:
| Symbol | Match 3 | Match 4 | Match 5 | Match 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Gem | 0.05 | 0.10 | 0.15 | 0.20 |
| Green Gem | 0.05 | 0.10 | 0.15 | 0.20 |
| Red Gem | 0.05 | 0.10 | 0.15 | 0.20 |
| Bird | 0.10 | 0.15 | 0.20 | 0.30 |
| Snake | 0.15 | 0.20 | 0.25 | 0.40 |
| Bear | 0.20 | 0.25 | 0.30 | 0.50 |
| Star | 1.00 | 2.00 | 3.00 | 5.00 |
Multiplier symbols are white Xs on a green-and-gold background. When one reaches the bottom of the grid or the leftmost column, it increases the current active multiplier before transforming into a wild symbol.
The bonus drops symbol is gold and purple, with a purple gemstone on the front. When it reaches the leftmost column, it triggers the bonus game, awarding you six free drops. It’s possible to retrigger the bonus from within the round.
A star charger symbol is a gold coin with a glowing blue centre. They activate when they reach the bottom of the grid. Star charger symbols activate 1-3 stars in the star constellation before transforming into a wild symbol.
Wild symbols are a white W on a pearlescent blue-and-gold coin. Wilds substitute for regular pay symbols to help you create winning combos and score payouts.
The symbol shows MAX WIN written on a golden beetle. When it reaches the leftmost column, it immediately pays out the remaining amount required to reach the game’s 50,000x max win.
All symbols that are part of a winning combination explode from the grid once wins have been evaluated, leaving empty spaces for new symbols to drop down from above. An additional row of symbols is also added at the top. A maximum of eight rows is possible. The avalanche feature continues as long as new winning combinations appear.
Each star in the constellation has three states: inactive, active, and consumed. Creating winning combos over star positions will activate them. Successfully triggering the Starlight feature, the Cygnus Realm, or bonus game, advances you to the next star constellation on the grid. This is also reflected in the pillar on the right-hand side of the grid, which advances one step on the mini map ladder.
The starlight feature triggers when two or more stars within the current star constellation are activated by winning combinations. It turns all symbols on one or more of the constellation lines into the same regular pay symbol.
The Cygnus Realm launches when all constellation stars are activated or consumed. The Cygnus Realm has three symbols: blocker, mystery, and premium mystery (black coin, silver swan, golden swan).
You begin with three drops. Landing one premium mystery symbol resets the drop counter. When no drops remain, all mystery symbols convert to the same payout symbol.
