Cornelius Video Review
Cornelius General Characteristics
The main action takes place across five reels, four rows, and a total of 1024 paylines. Because of the slot's low level of volatility, it is a game that many new players should consider playing. When selecting a casino, you should exercise caution because the percentage of Return to Player or Payout might be either 96.04% or 92.01%. We were unable to locate any information regarding the Hit Frequency or the Bonus / Freespins Frequency. You have the option of placing a stake ranging from 0.2 EUR to 400 EUR, and given that the Maximum Win Multiplier is set at x1,051, the theoretical Maximum Win Value is 420,400 EUR. There are 9 main symbols plus Scatter Symbol, and Bonus Symbols.
Cornelius Bonus Features
Cash Drop Symbol and The Cash Drop Feature
Cash Drop symbols may occur on the reels, and each of them is allocated a random value of 0.25 to 3 times the wager in the regular game and of 0.1 to 0.5 times the wager in the Bonus Rounds. The Cash Drop Feature is triggered when 3 or more Cash Drop symbols show up anywhere on the reels. Instead of disappearing at the beginning of a spin, Cash Drop symbols will shift down one position and deliver a win equal to their combined value if they remain on the reels until the feature ends. The number three is placed into the spin counter whenever the Cash Drop function is brought into play. The number of spins is reset to three if one or more Cash Drop symbols appear anywhere on the reels.
Free Spins
This bonus round is triggered when the main game's reels in any position reveal three or more scatter symbols simultaneously. This bonus feature comes with Hold & Spin function. At the beginning of this feature, the Scatter symbols that activated it transform into Cash Drop symbols. This activates the Cash Drop feature and awards a win equal to the total value of the Cash Drop symbols that appeared on the screen. All of the values of paying symbols sum up and they slide one position down, they continue paying until they disappear from the reels or when the bonus round ends. During this portion of the game, the only symbols that are guaranteed to appear on the reels are Cash Drop symbols, Up symbols, Golden Up symbols, Adder symbols, and Multiplier symbols. During the Free Spins bonus round, the number of spins is reset to 3 whenever any symbol appears on the reels.
Here is the description of those bonus symbols:
1. Up. Adjusts the position of all Cash Drop and Multiplier symbols so that they are one row higher.
2. Golden Up. This function lifts all Cash Drop and Multiplier symbols on their respective reels to the highest available place that is not already occupied.
3. Adder. This symbol will remain on the reels until the conclusion of the Free Spins bonus round, and it will boost the value of any Cash Drop symbols that are now present on the reels by its own value.
4. Multiplier. This symbol multiplies Cash Drop symbols and Adder symbols by its value.
When the Cash Drop feature comes to an end, the free spins will also stop.
Buy Feature
This feature costs 100 times the amount wagered and may be used at any moment to initiate free spins.
Our Experience Playing Cornelius
The relaxing nature of our trip was hinted at by the enticing music and vibrant animation. In order to determine whether or not it is worthwhile to play this slot machine in terms of the payout, we chose to do our standard test with a bankroll of 200 Euros and a stake of 1 Euro. We braced ourselves for some exciting action and set the autoplay for one hundred rounds. On our initial try, we were given a lot of spins with 2 Scatters, but we never really got to the bonus round. Just as our 100 spins were coming to a conclusion, we hit the cash drop and were paid back 35 euros, but it wasn't enough to cover the cost of the try, we were still 48 euros in the deficit. We began the following hundred turns expecting a better outcome. Despite winning roughly 50 Euros between two Cash Drops, there were so many dry runs that the total wasn't enough to cover the costs. We didn't lose hope and decided to continue, hoping to catch three scatters. In this session, we managed to reel in two very fruitful Cash Drops, earning a total of 70 Euros, but we were still 80 Euros in the red compared to when we began. We were still eager to trigger the Free Spins, so we continued. It took us 39 spins of the following attempt to trigger it, and in our first bonus round we won a respectable sum of 108 euros, bringing our total to 208 euros. This was a great game, but we needed to go somewhere, so instead of waiting for the next bonus round to appear in the main game, we paid for the bonus feature. It paid us 58 Euros, which was not enough to cover the cost. To finish our review, we decided to go for all or nothing, set the bet to 1.6 Euros, and bought another bonus feature. We were paid 98 euros, leaving us with a total of 100 euros in our account. We were firm in our decision to go all in, so we gambled our final 100 Euros to buy one more bonus feature. This effort succeeded, yielding a dividend of 132.55 Euros. Seeing the biscuits tumble down into the reels was hypnotic and enthralling so we couldn't stop playing. We bought the feature again and with just 48 Euros to show for our last-ditch effort, we were unable to purchase any further bonus features. Overall, we had a great time playing this game, particularly during the Free Spins bonus rounds. It would have been much better for our bankroll if they were easier to activate during the main game. We advise giving this slot machine a go, but caution against blowing all your cash on the extra features. Playing by the expression "slow and steady wins the race" is the best strategy.
