Seeing with the Eye of Horus

As you’d expect, the graphics are a homage to everything you’d see in Ancient Egypt. Everything’s brown and gold, from the papyrus look of the play board to the pyramid in the background - can you find Horus himself inside? The symbols all look like hieroglyphs, from the Eye of Horus to other key ancient Egyptian artefacts that will transport you right back to history class. 

As impressive as the graphics are, there isn’t much in the way of sound. You’ll hear an arcade-style jingle when you spin, but there’s no themed music to set this apart from other Blueprint slots. However, it may be a case of less being more, as the design of the slot is something to behold - more sound isn’t really needed.

Pay symbols and hieroglyphs

Eye of Horus keeps things pretty conventional for the most part. We’ve got 5 reels, 10 paylines and 15 symbols on the play board altogether. Line wins are multiplied by the value bet on the winning line, and there are 7 regular symbols to keep an Eye out for, from the usual J, Q, K and A to a scarab, Anubis and other Egyptian curiosities displayed as hieroglyphs. 

All paylines are fairly par for the course - you just need 3 or more matching symbols starting with the leftmost reel and you’re good to go. The scatter symbol pays out too, and all scatter wins will be added to line wins. The autoplay feature is also present here, allowing you to spin up to 100 times with loss and win limits should you want them.

Nile in the wild

Horus himself appears as a wild symbol. The symbol substitutes for all other symbols apart from the bonus symbol and expands to cover a full reel, giving you more chances to make those crucial winning combinations. 

Should you get 3 or more bonus symbols on the play board at once, you’ll be awarded 12 Free Games. Each time you get a Horus Wild symbol during these, they’ll upgrade the tablets you can find above the play board, and 1, 2 or 3 Horus Wilds will get you 1, 3 or 5 Free Spins respectively. Just make sure you make the most of them, as when they’re gone, they’re gone - and then you’ll get all the winnings you’ve earned throughout the bonus.

Conclusion

This slot has plenty going for it, taking a popular theme and giving it a twist with the Horus focus. Its popularity since launching in 2016 has been no surprise, particularly with its generous RTP, or return-to-player, of 96.31% and it’s medium volatility getting the balance right between quantity of wins and quality too. It’s not too intimidating for a new player but has enough to keep experienced gamers coming back too, so it’s definitely one to try out.
