Eye of Horus Megaways

About Eye of Horus Megaways

Eye of Horus Megaways is the Megaways follow-up to Blueprint Gaming's classic Eye of Horus slot, released in October 2019. The original was a popular land-based machine in UK and European casinos before its move online, and this version takes the same Egyptian setting and applies Big Time Gaming's Megaways engine. It runs on a 6-reel grid with up to 5 symbols per reel, generating up to 15,625 ways to win on each spin.

The game has an RTP of 95.49%, high volatility, and a maximum win of 50,000x your bet at Midnite. The standout feature is the Free Spins round, where Horus wilds expand to cover full reels and progressively upgrade the lower-paying symbols on the paytable, building up the win potential as the round goes on.

How to Play Eye of Horus Megaways

The grid is 6 reels wide, with each reel showing between 2 and 5 symbols on every spin. The number of ways to win changes spin-to-spin based on how many symbols land on each reel, ranging up to 15,625 at the maximum. There are no fixed paylines.

Wins form when matching symbols land on adjacent reels from left to right, starting from reel one. Stakes at Midnite range from £0.10 up to £5 per spin, set using the bet controls below the reels. Unlike many Megaways slots, Eye of Horus Megaways does not include a tumbling reels or cascade mechanic. After a winning spin, the symbols pay out and the round ends without further reactions.

Horus wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 and expand to cover the entire reel when they land. Three or more temple doorway scatters anywhere on the reels trigger the Free Spins round.

Eye of Horus Megaways Features

The bonus structure is built around the Free Spins round and the symbol upgrade mechanic that runs through it.

• Megaways Engine: Each spin generates a random number of symbols per reel, producing up to 15,625 ways to win.
• Horus Wild: The wild appears on reels 2 through 5 only. When it lands, it expands to cover the entire reel. It substitutes for all paying symbols but does not substitute for the scatter.
• Temple Doorway Scatter: The scatter appears on all reels and is also the highest-paying symbol in the base game, paying up to 100x the bet for six on a way. Three or more scatters trigger the Free Spins round.
• Free Spins: Three or more scatters award 12 free spins.
• Symbol Upgrade Mechanic: During Free Spins, each time a Horus wild lands and expands, it removes the lowest-paying symbol still on the paytable and upgrades all remaining symbols by one position. This persists for the rest of the round, gradually pushing the active symbol set towards the top-paying Eye of Horus.
• Extra Free Spins per Wild: During Free Spins, additional Horus wilds add spins to the round. One Horus wild adds 1 spin, two Horus wilds add 3 spins, three Horus wilds add 5 spins, and four Horus wilds add 7 spins on the same spin.
• Free Spins Retrigger: Additional scatters can also extend the round, with extra spins awarded based on how many land.
• No Bonus Buy: Eye of Horus Megaways does not include a bonus buy or ante bet feature. The Free Spins round can only be triggered organically through scatter symbols.
• No Cascades: Unlike many modern Megaways slots, this title does not use a tumbling reels or cascade mechanic. Wins pay out and the spin ends.

Eye of Horus Megaways Theme and Symbols

The setting is an Ancient Egyptian temple, with the reels framed by stone columns and dust-coloured walls. The visual style leans on the original Eye of Horus aesthetic: muted browns and golds, painted hieroglyphs around the frame, and a clean stone-tablet look on the reels themselves. The soundtrack is subdued Middle Eastern-influenced ambient music in base play, building into more dramatic flourishes when the Free Spins round triggers and the symbols start upgrading.

Lower-paying symbols are stylised J, Q, K, and A card values rendered in bright Egyptian colours. Higher-paying symbols are themed pieces in ascending order: paired fans, ankhs, scarabs, eagles, jackals, and the Eye of Horus itself as the top regular paying symbol. The Horus deity figure appears as the wild, and the temple doorway acts as the scatter and highest-paying symbol overall.
