Blueprint’s return to the Horus format feels more like a careful revision than a new Egyptian concept. Eye of Horus Rise of Egypt by Blueprint Gaming works from the familiar 5-reel board, then lets Free Spins carry the newer parts through expanding Wilds, symbol upgrades, and collected Scatters. For classic slot games, the main interest is how the bonus round changes the symbol order as it continues.
The artwork feels closer to a wall relief than a desert adventure scene. Symbols sit on white stone background panels, and the golden border gives the reel box a temple-like shape. The premium icons follow the Egyptian style often seen in casino games, but the Eye, jackal, falcon, and scarab stand out because their outlines are sharper than the letters. Lower symbols are lighter and flatter, which helps the paytable hierarchy stay clear. Animation does not take over the screen. Most movement comes from the vertical Wild stretch and the feature counters during Free Spins.
| Symbol | 3x | 4x | 5x |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eye of Horus | 5x | 20x | 50x |
| Jackal | 4x | 15x | 40x |
| Falcon | 2x | 12.5x | 30x |
| Scarab | 2x | 10x | 25x |
| Ankhs | 1x | 5x | 20x |
| Fans | 1x | 5x | 20x |
| A | 0.5x | 2x | 10x |
| K | 0.5x | 2x | 10x |
| Q | 0.5x | 2x | 10x |
| J | 0.5x | 2x | 10x |
The card symbols share the same values, while the Egyptian icons create the higher-paying part of the regular-symbol paytable.
Three or more Tomb Scatters start a 12-spin round. During Free Spins, the Horus Wild does more than substitute, since it can expand on reels 2, 3, and 4 and move the lowest premium icon one step higher on the paytable.
Tomb Scatters remain part of the bonus after the first 12 spins begin. Every fourth collected Scatter adds 4 more Free Spins and lifts the multiplier from 1x to 2x, then 3x, and finally 5x.
The 5x3 grid ensures that the game remains compact, as there are 10 preset pay lines scanned from left to right. The winning combination has to be made up of matching symbols starting from reel one to other reels adjacent to it. What gives the spin more character is the restricted Wild placement. Since Horus Wilds appear only in the centre, a strong spin usually depends on how those reels connect with the left and right sides. Free Spins keep the same structure, then add upgrades and Scatter progress.
We see Eye of Horus Rise of Egypt as a careful update rather than a new version in name only. Blueprint Gaming keeps the base spin direct, then makes the bonus round do the heavier work through symbol upgrades, added spins, and Scatter collection. The slot is more suitable for users who prefer fixed paylines and visible feature steps over complex reel changes. We think the good thing about it is that the bonus increases from the same middle-reel Wild and not by introducing side bonuses.
