Eye of Horus Megaways

The popular Eye of Horus slot, which was first introduced as a collaboration between blueprint gaming and Merkur, has been re-imagined in this follow up online slot now with the lucrative megaways mechanic. Eye of Horus Megaways features the same design and set up as the original, with some new and exciting bonus features being thrown into the mix. In this slot review we will be analyzing various aspects of the ancient Egyptian themed slot to shed some light on the extent to which Blueprint Gaming has improved on the original.

In terms of the Blueprint Gaming version, it has stayed more or less true to the original. You will find a very simple design set up against the backdrop of high pillars which would be found in ancient Egypt. The reels are made up of solid bricks and feature classic ancient Egyptian pictures as symbols.

The stats of Eye of Horus Megaways are also quite impressive. Firstly players can expect an RTP of 95.02% to as high as 95.49% depending on where you are playing. The volatility is classified as medium to high which means that your wins will not be as frequent but when you do win it will be well worth the wait. One change from the original is that the slot is played on a 6x3 set up, rather than on a 5x3 set up.

The symbols that you will find on the reels can be classified in terms of high paying and low paying. At the lower end of the paytable you have the Ace to Jack playing card symbols which will pay up to 0.4 times your stake for landing six matching symbols on a spin. Your higher paying symbols are the fan and ankh symbol which will pay a potential 0.8x your stake for landing 6 matching symbols. The highest paying symbol is the scarab beetles which will double your stake for landing 6 of a kind. 

Eye of Horus Megaways bonus symbols include the Eye of Horus wild symbol and the scatter. Apart from substituting for any other symbol on the reels, landing 6 of the Eye of Horus symbols will see you win 20x your stake. Even better is the scatter symbols which will award you a whopping 100x your stake for landing 6 on the reels. The scatter symbol will also trigger the free spin mode which we will discuss in more detail below.

The main bonus feature in Eye of Horus Megaways is the free spin mode, which is activated by landing 3 or more scatter symbols on the reels. Starting with 12 free spins the bonus round will also bring with it some further cool features. During free spins every wild that lands will expand to fill the entire reel. 

Another awesome feature consists of Horus appearing during free spins and shooting his laser at certain symbols appearing above the reels, upgrading them to the next highest paying symbol. If Horus appears more than three times you will trigger 5 more free spins! 

Besides the bonus features mentioned above, Eye of Horus Megaways of course features the Megaways mechanic, which creates the possibility of 15,625 possible ways to win!

Eye of Horus Megaways is a great follow up to the original Egyptian themed slot. This time around the developers have given the slot some cool new features that make things super exciting. The Megaways mechanic is as per usual a great addition to the overall gameplay and a welcomed sight for fans of the original Eye of Horus slot. Definitely give this slot a try!
