Eye of Horus Megaways Slot Explained
Eye of Horus Megaways is Blueprint Gaming’s 2019 remake of the German land-based classic: six reels, up to 15,625 ways to win, the expanding Horus wild — and a free spins round whose symbol-upgrade ladder can turn the whole game premium on the way to a 10,000x max win.
How the base game plays
Each spin deals two to five symbols per reel, so the ways change constantly; wins need three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left. Horus, the falcon-headed wild, substitutes for everything except the scatter and expands to cover his whole reel whenever he lands — the base game’s one real event, in a deliberately faithful, stripped-back Egyptian presentation.
The free spins upgrade ladder
Three or more temple scatters award 12 free spins (bigger scatter counts pay cash rather than extra spins — six scatters is worth 100x). Inside the round, every Horus wild that lands upgrades the symbols one step up the ladder shown above the reels — progressively removing the low card symbols — and extends the round: one, two, three or four wilds add 1, 3, 5 or 7 extra spins. Run long, and the reels end up carrying nothing but premiums; it’s the same beloved mechanic as the original, now multiplied across Megaways.
RTP, volatility and the honest numbers
The published RTP is 95.49%, with a 95.02% version common at UK operators — below today’s average, so the info panel is worth the glance. Volatility runs high: the base game is quiet by design, and the 10,000x ceiling lives almost entirely inside a well-extended bonus. There’s no bonus buy in any market.
Who it suits
Fans of the original wanting the same slot with a bigger engine, and players who love visible progression — watching the ladder climb is the whole show. Anyone wanting busy base-game features or a gentler variance curve should look elsewhere in the Egyptian aisle.
