The demo costs nothing and won't ask for a card—you can close the tab any time without signing up for anything. It's the full game, not a dumbed-down preview: same RNG, same math, same bonus triggers. The only difference is you're playing with demo credits instead of real money.

You get unlimited spins to test how often the free spins land, how the expanding Horus wilds behave on reels 2–4, and whether the symbol upgrades actually build into something. No session timer, no spin cap mentioned in the game rules. If you want to burn through 200 spins to see the bonus in action three times, go ahead.

Blueprint's demos run the identical build to the real-money version—regulators require it. What you see in practice is what you'll get when you stake actual cash. The 12 free spins trigger at the same rate, the wilds expand the same way, the upgrade system works identically.

Nine sequels, countless imitators, and a decade later it's still spinning on UK pub fruit machines—Eye of Horus isn't just another Egyptian slot, it's the one that proved symbol upgrades could carry an entire franchise. While everyone else was chasing bonus complexity in 2014, Reel Time Gaming (distributed by Blueprint) built something deceptively simple: expanding wilds that upgrade your symbols step-by-step during free spins, turning low-pays into premium symbols with each wild landed. That core loop turned out to be addictive enough to spawn Megaways versions, Jackpot King tie-ins, and at least seven other variations. The original sits on a straightforward 5×3 grid with just 10 paylines and a 10,000x max win, but it's that elegant upgrade mechanic—watching your symbols climb the paytable—that keeps players coming back and convinced Blueprint they'd found gold in the desert.

How To Play

Eye of Horus keeps things straightforward—there's no complicated setup before you spin. Here's what you need to know to get started and control your session.

Setting Your Stake

Your bet range runs from £0.10 to £100.00 per spin. The 10 paylines are fixed, so you're not adjusting line counts here—you're simply choosing your total stake per spin. You'll find the bet selector in the game menu or interface (typically a coin/stake button). Pick an amount that suits your budget, keeping in mind the £100 maximum.

Spinning the Reels

Once your stake is set, press the Spin button to launch the reels. Wins pay left-to-right on the 10 fixed lines, and the game awards payouts automatically when you land matching combinations. It's a clean, classic setup—no need to configure anything mid-spin.

Autoplay Options

If you'd rather not press Spin manually every time, hit the Auto Start button. You can run up to 100 consecutive spins this way. Before you start, you'll want to configure your stop conditions—Eye of Horus lets you set win and loss limits to pause autoplay automatically. This is particularly useful if you're setting boundaries for your session or stepping away briefly.

To stop autoplay at any point, just press the Auto button again and you'll return to manual control.

Game Settings

In the menu, you'll find volume controls for both music and sound effects—adjust these separately if you prefer one over the other. The menu also houses the paytable and rules, which you can check at any time without interrupting your session.

A Note on Pace

The JSON documentation doesn't specify a turbo or quick-spin feature for this slot, so expect a standard reel speed. If you're used to Blueprint Gaming's faster-paced modes in other titles, this one plays at a more traditional rhythm.

That's the practical side sorted. Eye of Horus doesn't ask much in terms of configuration—set your stake, choose manual or auto, and you're playing.

Bonuses & Symbols

Symbols

Eye of Horus uses a classic Ancient Egypt theme across its 5×3 grid. Wins land when you match 3, 4, or 5 identical symbols from left to right on any of the 10 fixed paylines.

Horus Wild Symbol - Falcon-headed god

Horus Wild

The stylised falcon-headed god appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. It substitutes for all symbols except the scatter. When a Wild lands, it expands to fill the entire reel, covering all three positions.

Golden Door Scatter Symbol

Golden Door Scatter

A golden Egyptian temple door decorated with hieroglyphs. This one pays scatter wins and triggers the main bonus round. You need at least three scatters anywhere on the grid.

High-paying Egyptian symbols including ankhs and scarab beetles

High-Value Symbols

The slot also features a range of high-paying symbols tied to Egyptian mythology – these include ankhs, scarab beetles, and other artefacts – alongside lower-value card symbols. During the free spins bonus, the high-value symbols undergo step-by-step upgrades.

Free Spins Bonus

Land 3 or more Golden Door scatters anywhere on the reels and you'll trigger 12 free spins.

Expanding Wilds

During free spins, the Horus Wild continues to expand when it lands on reels 2, 3, or 4. But here's where things get interesting: each time a Wild appears, it advances the upgrade panel. This panel steps one of your high-value symbols up to the next tier – transforming lower-paying symbols into higher-paying ones. The upgrades progress symbol by symbol, right up to the most valuable in the paytable.

Symbol Upgrades

Wilds also extend the bonus. Landing 1 Wild adds 1 extra spin. Land 2 Wilds on the same spin and you get 3 more. Land all 3 Wilds at once and you collect 5 additional free spins.

The bonus can retrigger: if you land 3+ scatters during free spins, you'll receive another 12 spins on top of your remaining total.

Max win: The game caps out at 10,000x your stake.
