Play Eye of Horus Megaways Demo Slot » Blueprint

A lot of classic slots get the Megaways treatment, and you’re not going to find many players complaining about that, especially when there are tens of thousands of paylines added as a result. Eye of Horus Megaways is one of those games, but it’s not the original developer Merkur Gaming taking up the mantle here. It’s Blueprint Gaming, who are owned by the same company as Merkur.

In video slot speak, Eye of Horus, in its original guise, was one of those games that entered the simple but effective category on release. They have proven time and time again to be successful, and you could say it’s once again the same again here. But the inclusions and additions from Blueprint are smart, as they add just a bit of extra spice.

A prime example of what we mean is that Blueprint Gaming haven’t gone all out in terms of how they deploy the Megaways system. It’s not a case of each reel potentially having up to seven icons on it with each spin. Instead, they limit the number of potential symbols on each reel to five, which means that the maximum number of paylines in a round is 15,625.

It’s a significant improvement on what has gone before, but it’s not too much if that makes sense. And the cascading wins system is also another positive to take note of, alongside more traditional feature offerings, such as a free spins round, which we will come onto shortly. All in all, you could say Blueprint have breathed new life into an old classic.

Game Features

We start with the most significant inclusion for the game features section of this review, and it is, of course, Megaways. As we mentioned above, Megaways comes into play in this slot, adding a bit of extra excitement. Although not too much as reels max out at five icons high, with total paylines limited to 15,625.

You will often hear how effective wild symbols can be in slots, and they are. But, in Eye of Horus, Megaways, potentially more so. It’s Horus who takes on the role, and not only does he replace other regular icons in this game, but he expands to cover the entire reel he lands on, increasing the winning potential tenfold.

Three or more temple doorway icons, which happen to be the scatter, will see twelve free spins handed over to the player. Horus wilds also prove crucial here because not only can they add more free rounds to the running total, but they can also upgrade icons to the next one up on the paytable and remove lower-paying symbols. Therefore, the Horus wild in Eye of Horus Megaways, has to be one of the most influential we’ve seen in a while.
