How Eye of Atum plays
Three rows on five reels carry ten paylines, and wins are read along those lines. Card royals fill the lower end of the paytable, and the premium symbols are drawn from Egyptian mythology, with the fan, the ankh and the scarab beetle leading up to the Eye of Atum at the top.
Eye of Atum in our lobby on 14 November 2026, at £2 a spin: 5 reels and 3 rows, with a scatter on reel 1, two Eye of Atum symbols on reel 4 and the line “Win up to 2000x your bet!” above the reels. The bar above the game carries a timer and a £ figure, £0.00 here before any spin. UK rules require online slots to show time played and net position. Game and artwork © Play’n GO.
Atum is the wild. He can only appear on the three middle reels, and whenever he lands he stretches to cover the reel from top to bottom. He stands in for the regular paying symbols, while the scatter pays on its own when three or more land anywhere and also opens the bonus.
The progressive free spins
Three or more scatters start 12 free spins, and the scatter prize is paid before the round begins. The expanding wilds stay active throughout. Play’n GO calls it a progressive feature, and it grows as wilds arrive: each spin with wilds adds extra spins on top of the 12, from a single spin for one wild up to five when three land together. For example, a round that sees one wild on one spin and three on another runs for 18 spins instead of 12.
The Scatter page in our lobby at £2 a spin: five scatters pay £1,000.00, four £40.00 and three £4.00, and 3 or more scatters trigger 12 free spins. Game and artwork © Play’n GO.
The symbol upgrades
Each expanded wild in the free spins also grants an upgrade. The lowest premium symbol still on the reels is turned into the one above it, so each upgrade takes the bottom premium off the reels and moves the chain one step higher. The aim of the sequence is to turn every premium symbol into the Eye of Atum, the highest-paying regular symbol, and Play’n GO adds that with each upgrade the chance of landing an upgraded symbol increases.
Eye of Atum compared with Eye of Horus and Book of Dead
The closest match is Eye of Horus, another 5x3, 10-line Egyptian game in which an expanding Horus wild upgrades symbols in sequence during 12 free spins and adds extra spins as it lands. Eye of Atum follows the same pattern with Atum as the wild, and its scatters pay a prize of their own before the free spins start. Play’n GO’s own Book of Dead shares the grid and line count but works differently in its bonus: 10 free spins with one expanding symbol chosen at random before the round.
| Game | Grid and lines | Free spins |
|---|---|---|
| Eye of Atum | 5x3, 10 paylines | 12 spins; expanded Atum wilds upgrade the premium symbols and add spins |
| Eye of Horus | 5x3, 10 paylines | 12 spins; Horus wilds upgrade symbols in sequence and add 1, 3 or 5 spins |
| Book of Dead | 5x3, 10 paylines | 10 spins with a random expanding symbol |

Frequently asked questions
What is the Eye of Atum slot about?
It is set in ancient Egypt and built around Atum, the creator god of Egyptian myth, who appears as the expanding wild. The Eye of Atum is the top premium symbol and the target of the upgrade chain in the free spins. Play’n GO released the game in March 2022 as a five-reel, ten-line video slot.
How many free spins can you get in Eye of Atum?
The round opens with 12, whatever number of scatters started it. More spins are added whenever wilds land during the feature, and the total can reach 150 free spins in one round. The expanding wilds stay active on every one of those spins, so each new wild can add both spins and an upgrade.
What does the Eye of Atum symbol do?
It is the highest-paying regular symbol rather than a special symbol. It has no wild or scatter role, but it matters in the free spins, because each upgrade moves the premium symbols up the chain towards it. When every premium has been upgraded, the premium positions on the reels all show the Eye of Atum.
