Eye of Horus Slot Review

Eye of Horus Slot Overview

Slot developers need little excuse to visit Ancient Egypt, with the land of the Pyramids being amongst the most popular themes in the slot-o-sphere. Many have tried to bring the world of Scarab Beetles and animalistic Gods to life, but few have achieved the success enjoyed by this 2016 classic. Brought to your screen by Blueprint Gaming, Eye of Horus has inspired a string of popular sequels, but this is where the Expanding Wilds/Upgrading Symbol free spins combination first strode into view. Should you don your archaeological boots to dust down this evergreen release, you may discover a golden 50,000x max win!

At first glance, it is easy to question what all of the fuss is about with Eye Of Horus. Graphically and thematically, the game doesn't exactly stand out from the crowd. Nevertheless, it isn't hard to see why this iconic release has proved such a hit with players. In fairness, the visuals are pleasant enough and faithful to the theme, but this is all about the gameplay. The base game rarely becomes dull, thanks to the decent payout values and the wonderful Full-Reel Wilds. Then we come to the bonus round, which is simply excellent. When the round begins, you may wonder just how good things could possibly get, but the free spin top-ups and Converting Symbols can quickly create a sizzling snowball effect. The chances are good that you may have played this one already, but if you have yet to try it, Horus and his golden eye are well worth a look!

Eye of Horus Slot Paylines

Here's a guide to all the paylines on offer in Eye of Horus:

Eye of Horus Slot Features

Horus Wilds

Given the title, you would expect Horus to play a significant role, and indeed, he does. Horus Wilds may show up on any reel and expand to cover the whole reel whenever they appear – increasing your chance of hitting a winning combination.

Eye of Horus Slot Bonus Features

Free Spins Bonus

Golden Archways serve as the Scatter Symbols and grant entry to the Free Spins Bonus. Landing three, four, or five on a single spin will hand you an instant win of 20x, 200x, or 500x and hand you 12 free spins to take into the feature.

Not content with his Expanding Wild powers, Horus ups his game during free spins with a power-packed symbol transforming effect.

A row of the mid-high paying symbols – Fans, Ankhs, Scarabs, Ibis, Anubis, and Eye of Horus - sits above the game grid. Each time a Horus Wild appears, the Bird God will fire a golden beam, which converts all instances of the lowest value symbol in the row to the next lowest symbol, i.e., all Fans become Ankhs, then all Ankhs become Scarabs, and so on.

Land six Horus Wilds during the round, and you will create a situation where all mid-high value symbols have transformed into the top-paying Eye of Horus symbol.

With all that symbol-converting goodness going on, you will no doubt wish to stick around a little longer. Happily, you may get the chance to do just that, as every Expanding Wild that appears during the round will add one free spin to your tally.

Our Verdict A simple enough feature at first glance, but one which is deceptively powerful. Fittingly, Horus holds the key, and if he is in the mood to make multiple appearances, you will be in for an increasingly exciting experience and potentially huge payout!

Eye of Horus Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.31%	Yes	Medium

The top-end Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 96.31% sticks its beak above the industry average RTP of 96%.

Eye Of Horus resides within the medium volatility slot sands. You should expect a degree of turbulence but nothing like the full-throttle rollercoaster of a high-volatility release.

Our Verdict Top marks go to an RTP of 96.31%, which represents solid value for money. However, you should be aware that this is a variable RTP release, with an alternative setting of 94.81% also available. The setting in use at your online casino of choice should always be listed in the information section of the game. The medium volatility rating creates an exciting gameplay experience and is perfectly acceptable given the excellent max win.

Eye of Horus Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

The designers have opted for an authentic take on the Egyptian theme. The brown/yellow/orange colour scheme, drawn from a sandy palette, gives off a definite desert vibe. There’s not too much going on in the backdrop, which features little more than a pair of imposing pillars, as the designers leave it to your imagination as to what may lie within the tomb. The low-pay card values are among the most vibrant symbols thanks to their bright primary hues, but the stone tablet-style higher values are far more thematic. Horus, himself, is the star attraction as he unfurls like a glorious scroll whenever he appears.

Audio

We have never been inside an Egyptian tomb, but we imagine it is rather quiet (and would be a little concerned/terrified if it wasn’t!). As such, the lack of an ambient soundtrack in the base game is probably a decent fit for the setting. However, the reel effects almost certainly didn't trouble the earbuds of the Ancient Egyptians – consisting of little more than arcade-style electronic chirps and whooshes. Thankfully, things improve in the Bonus Round, as an array of traditional East African instruments muscle in to replace the generic audio.

Our Verdict Overall, we found this to be an experience of two halves. The visuals are nicely done and effectively bring a taste of the era to the reels, but the base game soundtrack appears to be taken from a different game entirely. If, like us, you find it a little irritating, you can silence the audio via the menu at the bottom left of the screen - but don't forget to tune in again for a celebratory belly dance when the feature kicks into gear.

Eye of Horus Slot on Mobile

Eye of Horus slot has been adapted for both smartphones and tablets. The design is pretty similar to that of the desktop version with just the positions of buttons, and some elements moved around to fit the device screen size.
