Phoenix Graveyard 2: ELK Studios' Rising Reel Sequel
How the Rising Grid and Ways to Win Work
The base layout is five reels by four rows, giving you 1,024 ways to win. Wins are formed by matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel, so there are no fixed paylines to activate. The standout structural element is the feature row, a row of positions above the reels that unlock during play. When these positions are active, splitting effects can divide symbols and multiply the number of ways well beyond the starting 1,024, which is how the grid "rises" to its full potential.
Phoenix and Reaper Wilds
The two signature symbols are the Phoenix and the Reaper, both of which act as moving wilds that substitute for any paying symbol. They are moving wilds that substitute for any paying symbol and can unlock features in the feature row. The Phoenix and Reaper skull features may activate during any spin, unlocking feature row positions and staying active for the rest of the round. Stacked symbols round out the symbol set on the main grid.
Free Spins and the Super Bonus
Landing three bonus symbols triggers the free spins round, the main event of the game. The standout twist is the Super Bonus: if you trigger a bonus while a Phoenix or Reaper skull feature is active, you enter an upgraded version with the feature row fully unlocked and all the splitting effects powered up. That combination of unlocked positions, persistent enhancements and the wild battle mechanic is where the largest payouts come from, so the bonus is far more than a simple free-spin counter.
RTP, Volatility and Max Win
Phoenix Graveyard 2 runs at a 94% RTP, which sits a little below the common 96% benchmark, so factor that into your expectations. Volatility is high, meaning wins arrive less often but can be large when the features align. The maximum win is capped at 25,000x your stake. On the top bet of 100 that ceiling represents a substantial payout, but high-volatility math means hitting anywhere near it is rare and depends on the bonus and splitting mechanics stacking up.
Betting Range and Mobile Play
Stakes run from 0.20 per spin, a range that accommodates cautious players and higher rollers alike. The features, RTP and volatility are identical across desktop and mobile.
