What Makes Eye of Horus Unique
Expanding Horus Wild with Symbol Upgrade
The Horus wild does not just substitute for other symbols. When Horus appears, it expands to cover all 3 positions on that reel. During the 12 free games, each Horus wild upgrades symbols in a specific order: starting with Eye of Horus, then double ankh, scarab beetle, bird, and finally Anubis. This progressive upgrade system means lower-value symbols transform into higher-paying ones, dramatically increasing your win potential during the free games bonus.
Retriggerable Free Games with Additional Spins
Landing 3 or more golden pyramid scatters awards 12 free games. During free games, Horus symbols award additional spins: 1 Horus gives 1 extra game, 2 Horus symbols give 3 extra games, and 3 Horus symbols award 5 additional games. This retriggering mechanism can extend your bonus round significantly, especially combined with the symbol upgrade feature.

Payline Configuration
Selectable Payline System
Eye of Horus offers 1 to 10 selectable paylines, allowing players to customize their betting strategy. Each payline is color-coded with distinct spatial patterns for easy identification, making it accessible even for colorblind players. Paylines are displayed on both left and right sides of the reels.
Betting Range Flexibility
Minimum bet: 100 currency units. Maximum bet: 200,000 currency units (or equivalent). This wide betting range accommodates both casual players testing strategies and high rollers seeking maximum win potential. Total bet equals bet per line multiplied by number of active paylines.
Game Mechanics Breakdown
Win Calculation Method
Wins pay left to right on consecutive reels. Only the highest win per payline is paid. Wins on different paylines are added together. Scatter wins are paid in addition to payline wins. All payouts are multiplied by the bet per line (except scatter wins which multiply by total bet).
Wild Expansion Behavior
When Horus (falcon-headed deity with golden staff) appears on any reel, it automatically expands to cover all 3 vertical positions on that reel. The expanded Horus substitutes for all symbols except the pyramid scatter. This expansion occurs in both base game and free games.
Symbol Upgrade Sequence
During free games, each Horus wild that appears upgrades tablets in this specific order: First Eye of Horus symbols upgrade, then double ankh, then scarab beetle, then bird, and finally Anubis symbols. This means symbols transform into the next higher-paying symbol type, visible on the upgrade display above the reels.
Gamble Feature Options
After any win of 0.05 or more, players can choose to gamble: Card Gamble (bet on red or black card color to double winnings) or Ladder Gamble (step up a risk ladder for progressive increases). Collect Half option allows saving half your stake while gambling the rest. Gamble limit displayed: 1.4M currency units maximum.
Technical Specifications
Return to Player (RTP)

Strategic Play Considerations
Free Games Strategy
The 12 free games are where Eye of Horus delivers maximum win potential. Focus on the symbol upgrade mechanic: each Horus that lands upgrades symbols progressively, transforming lower-paying symbols into premium ones. Landing multiple Horus wilds in a single free game spin can create a cascading upgrade effect. Since Horus symbols also award additional free games (up to 5 extra per trigger), aggressive play during bonus rounds can compound both symbol quality and spin quantity. The combination of expanded wilds and upgraded symbols creates situations where even 3-of-a-kind hits can deliver substantial payouts equivalent to 5-of-a-kind wins in base game.
Payline Selection Impact
Playing fewer than 10 paylines reduces total bet but also reduces win frequency. Line 1 (horizontal middle row) offers the most straightforward wins. Lines 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 feature zigzag and V-shaped patterns that can catch symbol combinations across different rows. The selectable payline system allows bankroll management: conservative players can activate 1-3 lines to extend play time, while aggressive players should activate all 10 lines to maximize hit frequency and qualify for multiple simultaneous payline wins on the same spin.
Gamble Feature Risk Assessment
The card gamble offers 50-50 odds to double your win but risks losing everything. The six-card history display helps players track card color patterns, though each draw remains independent. Ladder gamble provides a visual risk meter with progressive steps up or down. The Collect Half option provides a middle ground: secure half your win while risking the remainder. Maximum gamble limit is 1.4 million currency units. Conservative strategy: collect wins under 10x bet, gamble only on smaller wins. Aggressive strategy: gamble wins up to 50x bet using card history patterns, use Collect Half at 100x bet milestones.
