A simple, but amusing game, the Cyrus The Virus mobile slot is contagious. You’ll find it hard to put down.
There’s something about Yggdrasil games that, despite their simplicity, draws you in. Once you start playing on one, you’ll soon be looking for others.
The Cyrus the Virus slot game is the perfect example.
The reason is simple, they find one thing, one bonus feature, that brings the slot to life, and they concentrate on making it as beautiful as possible.
With Pyrons it was the increasing multipliers on every win. With the Magic Mushrooms slot you get spreading wilds and Casino Zeppelin has one hell of a free spin feature.
This Yggdrasil slot, on the other hand is all about the expanded wilds and free re-spins.
Technically, this mobile slot game is 5 paylines. Though as it pays both ways, you’re actually talking about 10.
And whilst you might think that as it has only one feature it would be dreadfully boring, the incredibly amusing graphics and quick action means you’re rarely not smiling.
We particularly like how these 5 reels spin and show you the results from the outside in. So Reel 1 and 5 will show first, then reel 2 and 3 and finally that all important middle reel.
It means that the amusing little organism on the reels come alive as you maybe get a win on either side of this two way pay casino slot, waiting for the final reel to come in. Then you have the little worms on the side of the screen representing paylines, that pop out their heads if they think you might win.
You can’t help it, you get excited when these bugs wake up and you think, hope, and expect something amazing to happen.
Cyrus the Virus video slot is for your inner 9 year old boy / tomboy, who stared at their microscope and wondered at the smallest, and slightly gross, forms of life.
That crazy, mean old Cyrus only shows up on reel 3. And you want him to show up, as when he does he expands to contaminate the whole reel, and gives you one free re-spin.
This is your chance to get 5 of a kind wins, paying both ways. And where you’ll get the kind of wins that make a real difference.
Each time he shows up, it’s exciting, and all the more reason why watching the final middle reel becomes so importantly. It may not sound like a lot, but trust us when we say that we’ve played for a good hour and not noticed that this is the only bonus feature on display.
The only thing we’d say is that you should watch your budget with this one a little bit. These organisms aren’t always very friendly.
Still, it’s fun, entertaining and has some very decent wins 2,000 times your bet max win. This is one virus you’ll be aching to catch.

Expanding Wilds with Free Re-spin: The wild symbol is the biggest baddest virus of them all, Cyrus. He only shows up on the middle reel, but when he does, he expands to cover it.
Then he gives you one free re-spin of the other reels, staying sticky, just for good luck.
Much like the Starburst Touch slot, but only in one reel, and with bigger wins.
With 5 reels of colourful, funny organisms, the Cyrus the Virus slot machine is ridiculously good fun.
Sure, it's a little unusual, and very simple, yet it's hard to put down once you get started - especially when it looks so beautiful as both an Android and iPhone / iPad slot.
If you want more features, something like the free spin frenzy of South Park Reel Chaos might be more for you.
But if you want to smile your way through feelings of high anticipation as you watch that middle reel like a hawk, and hope for just one of those five of a kind wins... This Yggdrasil gem will keep you satisfied.
