Expanding Wilds • Symbol Upgrades • 12 Free Spins
Eye of Horus by Reel Time Gaming stands out through its unique combination of expanding wilds and symbol transformation mechanics. Unlike standard Egyptian-themed slots, this game features a sophisticated upgrade system during free spins that fundamentally changes the paytable as you play.
The key innovation is the expanding Horus wild that covers entire reels rather than single positions. When Horus appears on any reel, it expands to fill all three rows, creating multiple wild positions simultaneously. This mechanic alone can turn modest wins into substantial payouts, especially when multiple reels contain the wild.
The 96.31% RTP positions this slot in the fair-to-player range, offering reasonable long-term returns. With selectable paylines from 1 to 10, players control their volatility level - fewer active lines mean higher variance but potentially bigger individual wins, while all 10 lines activated provide more frequent but smaller wins.
The symbol upgrade feature during free games is where Eye of Horus reveals its strategic depth. When you trigger 12 free games with 3+ Pyramid scatters, a sequence of tablets appears at the top of the screen showing the upgrade path:
Each time the Horus wild appears during free games, it advances one step through this upgrade sequence. This means early Horus appearances in your free spins set up increasingly valuable symbol combinations for the remaining spins. A free games session with multiple Horus appearances can completely transform the symbol set, filling the reels with premium symbols only.
Eye of Horus features 1 to 10 selectable paylines, giving players control over their betting strategy. Each payline has a distinct color code and pattern across the 5x3 grid. All paylines read from left to right, requiring consecutive symbol matches starting from reel 1.
Selecting fewer paylines increases the bet per line, creating higher volatility with less frequent but potentially larger wins. Playing all 10 lines spreads your total bet across more potential winning combinations, resulting in more frequent hits but smaller individual payouts.
With a bet range from 100 to 200,000 per spin, Eye of Horus accommodates both conservative players and high rollers. The optimal strategy depends on your bankroll size and risk tolerance. For maximum hit frequency, activate all 10 lines. For bigger single-line wins, focus on 1-5 lines with higher bet per line.
The highest-paying combination is 5x Eye of Horus symbols on a payline, paying 100,000x your line bet. On maximum bet of 200,000 per spin across 10 lines (20,000 per line), this single combination would pay 2 billion. Factor in the expanding Horus wild and symbol upgrades during free spins, and the win potential multiplies significantly.
When reels stop, the game calculates all wins simultaneously:
This means a single spin can generate wins from multiple sources: several different active paylines winning simultaneously, plus scatter bonuses, all calculated with any active wilds considered. During free games with symbol upgrades active, lower symbols transform before the win calculation occurs, potentially creating premium symbol combinations that didn't exist on the initial spin result.
After any win of 0.05 or higher, Eye of Horus offers gambling options to risk your winnings for a chance to double or climb a prize ladder:
