Eye of Horus Gold Spins Megaways

Eye of Horus Gold Spins Megaways Slot

Eye of Horus Gold Spins Megaways returns to one of Blueprint Gaming's most heavily used franchises, and at this stage there can be few surprises left in the Egyptian tomb. The familiar Eye of Horus setup is once again joined by the Megaways engine, although this version does at least introduce Gold Spins and increases the maximum win to 10,100x the bet.

The game uses 6 reels with up to 5 symbols appearing on each, producing a maximum of 15,625 ways to win. Visually, very little has changed from previous Eye of Horus releases. Ankhs, scarabs, Anubis and the usual Egyptian imagery fill the reels, making the game instantly recognisable but also reinforcing just how many times Blueprint has returned to essentially the same presentation.

Landing 3 or more Scatters triggers the Free Spins feature, where the familiar Horus Wild becomes important. Each time one lands, the lowest-paying symbol currently displayed on the win meter is upgraded to the next symbol in the sequence. The new addition is the Golden Horus, which performs the same upgrade while also awarding a Gold Spin. Up to 5 Gold Spins can be collected during a bonus, and these are played once the regular Free Spins have finished with only the higher-value symbols appearing on the reels. It's a worthwhile addition and gives the feature another target to chase, even if it doesn't fundamentally change the Eye of Horus formula.

There is also a Power Play option costing 5x the normal stake. Activating it replaces the regular base game with a special reel setup containing only blank positions and Scatters, effectively providing another way of chasing the bonus. One considerably less attractive number is the RTP. Blueprint offers configurations ranging from just 90% to a maximum of 94%, meaning even the highest available setting sits well below what would normally be considered competitive.

Gold Spins are a decent idea, and the 10,100x maximum win gives this version a considerably more appealing ceiling than some previous entries in the series. The problem is everything surrounding them. Eye of Horus has been recycled so many times that another Egyptian backdrop filled with the same characters, symbols and familiar bonus structure struggles to generate much enthusiasm. Gold Spins provide enough of a twist to separate this release on paper, but not enough to make the overall experience feel genuinely new.

Dedicated fans of the franchise may appreciate another variation, but Eye of Horus Gold Spins Megaways ultimately feels like another unnecessary addition to a series that has already been stretched remarkably far.
