Cyrus The Virus Spreads To UK-Facing Online Casinos

Cyrus The Virus Spreads To UK-Facing Online Casinos.

There’s been a nasty bug going around lately, and the bad news is that it’s now spread to online casino companies in the UK – however, what’s bad for your health could yet prove incredibly good for your bankroll now that Yggdrasil Gaming’s Cyrus The Virus spreads to British players.

A five-reel, 10-payline game, Cyrus The Virus is an interestingly-themed slot that features a top base game jackpot of 2,000x players’ bet per line amount and wins that pay from both left-to-right and right-to-left. The basis for the game is – well – viruses, with seven different-coloured strands of bacteria featuring on the board and a special wild symbol occasionally appearing on the central reel.

When this purple nasty does feature during a regular base game spin, it will expand to fill the entire reel as new payline wins are calculated. What’s more, players will then receive a free re-spin with the expanded wild remaining in place, creating further potential for pretty big payout combinations.

Believe it or not, this simple premise really is all there is to Cyrus The Virus, with nothing resembling a bonus round or additional free spins feature for players to puzzle themselves over. In essence, then, the game is very similar to popular NetEnt titles like Starburst and Fisticuffs, with the emphasis clearly being placed on pick-up-and-play appeal rather than diversity of bonus rounds and modifiers.

That being said, the fact that Cyrus The Virus is a simple game doesn’t mean that it is not one without risk and reward. The game is generally considered a medium-to-high variance title, with the big wins reserved for the five-of-a-kind payline combinations that are created by the free re-spins.

While these won’t necessarily come around that often, the fact the re-spins themselves are triggered fairly regularly means that players are always in with a shot of landing a big prize – and the presence of two-way paylines also means that they probably won’t go broke trying to hit one either.

If you’re a UK-based player and fancy taking Cyrus The Virus for a spin, the game can now be found at most of the big online casinos that feature Yggdrasil Gaming as a software provider. Before you rush off to one, however, we’d recommend that you take a good read of our casino reviews section and find the site that offers the welcome package that is most compatible with your playing needs.
