Cyrus the Virus Online Slot Review

Progressive Jackpot: No

Software: Yggdrasil

Paylines: 10

Reels: 5

RTP: 96.30%

The name Cyrus the Virus may be familiar to some people, particularly those who saw the movie Con Air, as this was the nickname of John Malkovich’s character. This slot from Yggdrasil, however, has nothing to do with that movie, or with John Malkovich. Rather, it is a science-themed slot that literally features viruses. It has 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 paylines, and it is a slot that pays both ways.

It may seem odd for a game developer to think of viruses as an attractive theme for a slot machine, but they did find a way to create an interesting and appealing game. Just like most of the other slots offered by Yggdrasil, Cyrus the Virus has amazing graphics and sleek animation. It also boasts an upbeat, futuristic-sounding background music, which completes the game’s sci-fi appeal. You can play the game on both desktop and mobile devices.

Gameplay begins with setting your bets. You may start by setting your preferred coin denomination. This is done by clicking on the Coin Value +/- tabs. You may choose any denomination from 0.01 to 4.00. If you want to wager the highest amount allowed, click on the Max Bet button. To set the reels into motion, click on the Spin button to the right of the Max Bet button. For a chosen number of uninterrupted spins, click on the Autoplay button to the right of the Spin button.

Feature Symbols

You will not see any of the familiar playing card symbols in this game, as all base game symbols are theme-related. There are only seven symbols, and they are all viruses with angry faces. There is a light green diamond-shaped virus, a dark green virus, a red virus that looks like a jellyfish, an orange star-shaped virus, a blue bean-shaped virus, a light blue round virus, and a dark blue virus with tentacles. The dark blue virus is the one with the highest value.

The game’s Wild symbol is represented by a DNA strand with a purple face and the word “wild” printed across it. This symbol does not work like a regular Wild symbol that substitutes for other game symbols. Rather, it plays a key role in one of the game’s exciting features.

Bonus Rounds

One of the things that make this game exciting is that the paylines work both ways. This means you can win a payout not only from the left, but also from the rightmost reel. This feature works very well with the game’s unusual Wild feature.

Speaking of the Wild feature, that is the game’s main bonus feature. The Wild DNA symbol only appears on the middle reel, but when it does, it can make the game a lot more interesting. It expands to cover the entire reel, and its grumpy purple face shows up. This gives you more opportunities to land a winning combination. What’s more is that the feature gives you one extra spin, with the expanded Wild symbol locked into place.
