Eye of Horus Megaways Slot
Eye of Horus Megaways from Blueprint Gaming takes their popular original game and gives it the full Megaways treatment: six reels, up to 15,625 ways to win, and all the Egyptian magic you'd expect.
This isn't just a quick Megaways makeover either. Blueprint's kept all the good stuff from the original Eye of Horus but added that extra reel and the changing number of symbols per spin that makes Megaways Slots so unpredictable.
The whole ancient Egyptian theme comes through nicely thanks to pharaohs, gods, hieroglyphs, and of course Horus himself as the wild symbol.
The graphics are solid without being flashy, and everything feels authentically Egyptian rather than just slapping some pyramids on generic reels.
How Do You Play Eye of Horus Megaways?
Playing Eye of Horus Megaways works like most Megaways Slots: you've got six reels with each reel showing between two and seven symbols on every spin. This gives you anywhere from 64 up to 15,625 ways to win depending on how the reels land.
The betting should cover most players, and you win by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left. Pretty standard Megaways stuff, but the Egyptian symbols give it more character than your typical fruit machine.
What's different from some Megaways games is there's no cascading reels feature. When you win, you just get paid and move on to the next spin rather than having symbols disappear and new ones drop down.
There's autoplay if you want to let the ancient gods handle the spinning while you watch the action unfold.
What's the Bonus in Eye of Horus Megaways?
The free spins bonus triggers when you land three or more temple scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. This gets you twelve free spins, regardless of how many scatters you hit.
Symbol Upgrade Feature: During free spins, every time a Horus wild symbol appears, it upgrades one of the low-paying symbols to the next higher-paying symbol. Land enough wilds and you can gradually remove all the card symbols from the reels.
Progressive Upgrades: The upgrades work in order: first the lowest symbols get upgraded, then the next lowest, and so on. If you get enough Horus wilds during the bonus, you can end up with reels full of only the highest-paying Egyptian symbols.
Extra Spins: Each Horus wild that lands also awards one additional free spin, so the bonus round can extend beyond the initial twelve spins.
The key is getting plenty of Horus wilds early in the bonus to maximize those symbol upgrades.
What Extra Features Does Eye of Horus Megaways Have?
Expanding Wilds: During the base game, whenever a Horus wild lands on reels two, three, four, or five, it expands to fill the entire reel. This obviously helps create more winning combinations.
Megaways Mechanics: The changing number of symbols per reel keeps every spin different. You never know if you're going to get a low-ways spin or one of those massive 15,625-way combinations.
Symbol Substitution: The Horus wild substitutes for all regular symbols, though it can't replace the temple scatters that trigger the bonus.
The whole ancient Egypt setting is done extremely well, with authentic-looking hieroglyphs, pharaoh imagery, and that distinctive Egyptian art style.
Sure, the game doesn't have cascading reels like some Megaways Slots, which some people miss, but the symbol upgrade system during free spins makes up for it.
Where Can I Play Eye of Horus Megaways?
You can find Eye of Horus Megaways here at PokerStars Casino along with other Blueprint Gaming titles.
The mobile version works well as the six-reel Megaways setup scales down nicely to smaller screens, and all the Egyptian imagery looks crisp on phones and tablets. The expanding wild animations are particularly satisfying to watch on mobile.
What Are the Different Symbols in Eye of Horus Megaways?
The symbol lineup follows classic Egyptian themes.
Low-paying symbols are playing card values (J, Q, K, A) designed with Egyptian styling.
Mid-paying symbols include traditional Egyptian artifacts:
Double fans
Ankh symbols
Scarab beetles
High-paying symbols feature Egyptian deities and icons:
Eye of Horus symbol (top regular symbol)
Various Egyptian god representations
Special symbols:
Horus wild (expands in base game, upgrades symbols in bonus)
Temple scatter (triggers free spins with three or more)
The Eye of Horus symbol itself is what you want to see for the best regular wins, though the real money comes from getting those symbol upgrades working during free spins.
Ancient Magic Meets Modern Mechanics
Eye of Horus Megaways does a great job bringing the popular original into the Megaways era and so turning a classic Slot into a new game that we are sure our players will enjoy for a long time.
The symbol upgrade feature during free spins is pretty clever; watching those low-value card symbols gradually disappear and get replaced with high-paying Egyptian icons can be genuinely exciting and fun.
The expanding wilds in the base game keep things interesting between bonuses, and when the Megaways mechanic gives you those high-ways spins, the potential for decent wins is definitely there.
Just keep in mind that Megaways Slots can be pretty volatile, and this one's no different. Set your limits accordingly and enjoy the journey through ancient Egypt without expecting the pharaoh's treasure on every spin.
