Unsurprisingly, given the name, this slot is themed after ancient Egypt and features fitting symbols and visuals. The five high-value symbols are comprised of culturally significant Egyptian characters and objects including; the Eye of Horus, Anubis, Horus in the form of a bird, a blue scarab beetle, two ankhs and two fans. The lower value icons are made up of the standard playing cards J, Q, K and A. The wild is shown as the humanoid version of Horus and will substitute for all other symbols apart from the game's scatter, which is shown as an entrance to a tomb. The game includes a free spins mode which can make symbols more valuable, and a gamble option.
If you are familiar with the world of online slots, then ancient Egypt has probably become a usual setting for you. There is a multitude of slots out there that situate themselves in the shadows of the great pyramids, including one title that has become renowned the world over. Reel Time Gaming have made the brave decision to go toe to toe with these popular titles with another offering in this setting. Eye of Horus is a classic looking slot with a nifty little free spins round to take advantage of. Before we get into that though, let’s first examine the game’s paytable and visuals.
Layout and Paytable
In terms of visuals, Eye of Horus isn't the best-looking option. It is a very classically designed slot, meaning that functionality is prized above all else, so don't go into it expecting all the bells and whistles. That said, it's still a very crisp and clear user interface. The reels take up most of the screen space, with the game's logo sitting atop them. The background seems to feature ruins of some description, and there are heavy shades of brown throughout, creating a quite archaic feeling. In a somewhat strange move, the audio doesn’t follow similarly themed titles that have an Egyptian inspired backing track. Instead, the sounds here are reminiscent of old school arcades and fruit machines, with a clearly artificial set of notes played after every spin. The symbols are stylized as ancient hieroglyphs which is a really nice touch.
However, what you really want to know is how well the symbols payout and there is good news in that department. There is a fair bit of value to be found across the board here, with the highest paying symbol being the Eye of Horus which will grant 500x your line bet for a five of a kind win. The bird version of Horus will payout a 300x multiplier for the same requirements, better than the Anubis symbol which awards 100x. However, that icon will payout better for a four symbol win than the Eye, with a 200x multiplier compared to the latter's 125x. The blue scarab will pay 250x for a five of a kind win, and both the ankhs and fans are valued at 200x. Even the low-value symbols can be pretty rewarding if you're lucky, standing at a 100x multiplier. The in-game wild will also expand to cover a reel if it lands as well.
Bonus Features
Free Spins Round
In order to trigger this feature, you will have to land three or more of the game's scatter symbol anywhere in view on the reels. This will grant twelve free spins with an added reel modifier. Whenever the Horus Wild lands on the reels, you will receive additional free spins. One wild will grant an extra spin, two will award two, and for three further wilds, you will receive five spins. Additionally, the lowest value symbols will upgrade to the next icon up, which could potentially lead you to even bigger payouts.

Malcom Says...
Eye of Horus isn’t the flashiest slot about, and it doesn’t bring anything new to the mix, but there are some real strengths here too. While the visuals aren’t incredible, they’re not complicated either. There is never a moment where the screen becomes overwhelmed with icons or effects, meaning it’s never difficult to keep track of what’s going on. With just the one bonus, there isn’t much scope for variety, but the free spins can be mega. Add to that the generous wilds and big money wins the high value symbols can payout and you’ve got a solid slot game.
