The Eye of Horus name carries enough weight in the UK that Blueprint Gaming has built an entire franchise around it, releasing sequel after sequel with enough visual overlap to confuse even regular players. Rise of Egypt is the version that strips things back. No Megaways engine, no cascading reels, no progressive jackpot layer. What you get instead is the original format done well — a 5×3 grid, ten fixed lines, expanding wilds and a free games round where symbol upgrades can steadily elevate the entire paytable. The slot sits at 94.5% RTP across all versions of this title, consistent with the rest of the series.
Among the Eye of Horus titles, Rise of Egypt is worth placing in context. The original Eye of Horus shares almost the same core features but carries a higher RTP of around 96.3%, making it the more player-friendly option on paper.
Eye of Horus Megaways trades the fixed-line format for up to 15,625 ways to win and adds cascading reels, raising volatility further. Rise of Egypt keeps the classic structure and adds one feature the original does not have — a wild multiplier that can activate and escalate during free games. Players after a free play run on fixed paylines with a contained feature set will feel at home here. Those after more ways to win or a higher baseline return may be better served by another title in the series.
The Horus figure is wild and appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4. Landing on any of those positions triggers an expansion that fills the entire reel. It substitutes for all symbols except the scatter. Three expanded wilds across the middle reels guarantee a four-of-a-kind on every active line, with five-of-a-kind results possible depending on what lands on reels 1 and 5.
Three or more scatter symbols award 12 free games. The scatter pays at any position on the screen, regardless of payline, with three on screen worth £2.00, four worth £20.00, and five worth £50.00 at a £1.00 stake. These scatter pays are added to any line wins on the same spin.
During free games, each appearance of the Horus wild triggers a symbol upgrade, advancing the lowest-value major symbol to the next tier up. The upgrade chain runs through five stages in a fixed sequence: fans convert to ankhs, ankhs to scarabs, scarabs to the bird, the bird to Anubis, and Anubis to the Eye of Horus. As the chain advances, every instance of the upgraded symbol on the reels becomes the higher-paying version, raising the value of existing positions without requiring a respin.
Landing 1, 2 or 3 Horus symbols during free games awards 1, 3 or 5 additional free games, respectively. The scatter also has a secondary role in free games. Collecting 4 temple scatters during the bonus activates extra games and introduces a wild multiplier. The multiplier increases with each set of 4 collected, reaching up to 5x according to the in-game rules.
Stakes run from £0.10 to £100.00 per spin. Values below are from the in-game paytable at a £1.00 stake. All wins pay left to right on active lines, with the highest win only paid per line.
