ABOUT

Betting Options and Bonus Features
Cyclops Smash is largely characterized by its high volatility, cluster pay mechanic, and a huge 10,000x max win. In terms of its default RTP, Cyclops Smash offers a pretty standard rate of 96.05%. The symbols include various food items, ranked from lowest to highest value: lemon, orange, green fruit, grapes, meat, gemstone, and helmet. 5 identical symbols will form a winning cluster, which pays from 0.2x to 1000x.
Although there are no Wild symbols in the game, players can still enjoy the help of the Smash Feature, which is triggered randomly at the end of a spin. Upon activation, this feature rearranges 5, 8, 12, or all symbols vertically based on their respective payout values. The lowest-value symbols will be at the top of the reels and the highest-value ones will be at the bottom. If a win occurs subsequent to a Smash, the cascade mechanic continues with the possibility of another random Smash until no further wins transpire.
Landing 4, 5, 6, or 7 Lava Scatter symbols triggers 10, 12, 14, or 16 free spins, respectively. During the free spins feature, whenever a Smash is followed by a winning combination, the win multiplier increases by +1. This multiplier applies to all successive wins during the round. Additionally, obtaining 4 - 7 Scatter symbols while in free spins mode awards 10 -16 free spins. Players can also spend 100x the stakes to buy the bonus.
Roshtein’s Take
Cyclops Smash is a thrilling online slot that delivers a super unique mechanic that is the Smash feature. The way symbols move up and down is so unpredictable that the game always keeps you at the edge of your seat. The bonus is a grower - at first it can seem underwhelming but once it kicks into gear, the wins can blow up surprisingly fast. Last but not least, the visual style is pretty welcoming with a cartoonish aesthetic and a funny-looking cyclop.
