There was no shortage of Egyptian gods in the past. However, it is a common opinion that Horus was the most powerful of all the gods. Blueprint shares this opinion as this casino games developer has added another Eye of Horus to the long flowing list of online slot games already in their arsenal. Eye of Horus Fortune Play is another ancient Egyptian-themed series that uses Horus as the strong titular character, but this releases is new in making use of the growing trend that sees games make up to 4 grids available to spin at the same time. Additionally, free spins are there to be triggered for easy pickings.
So, this isn't the first time we've reviewed an Eye of Horus online slot. Before this one, we’ve reviewed a few others like Eye of Horus Megaways and Eye of Horus: The Golden Table. These slots have all has unique qualities about them but this is the first online slot to host Fortune Play. All CA players can choose to play in this game mode; and takes the standard one grid and adds an additional 3 to provide you with 4 grids spinning simultaneously. Eye of Horus Fortune Play refers to the grids as tablets, but all grids/tablets are made up of 5 reels and 3 rows, while each has ten paylines on which 3, 4 or 5 of a kind winning combinations can form.
The wagering window isn’t too wide in Eye of Horus Fortune Play, specifically, to play in Fortune Play, you need to part with 10x the amount you're actually wagering per spin. So, if you wager 1.00 in Fortune Play, you actually be wagering 10.00. The highest stake option is 10.00, so in actuality you are playing 100 in Fortune play. The lowest possible stake is 0.10 per spin. All CA players can play on mobile devices, and the volatility levels are pretty high, so take to the reels with a strategy that has room for restraint.
We’ve mentioned quite a few aspects of Eye of Horus Fortune Play; we say little about the theme because most players will already be quite familiar with it. The lower paying symbols are playing card royals J, Q, K and A, while the higher paying icons are all the standard symbols, including fans, ankhs, a scarab beetle, a falcon and a jackal. The highest paying regular symbol is the eye.
You'll have two special symbols to bring you added value, the first being the wild. This is Horus, and when landing on a space will expand to cover the entire reel to substitute all regular symbols to possible complete wins. The other symbol is the scatter, which the wild can't substitute.
Fortune Play is really a bonus feature; you don’t need to get lucky or achieve it. You simply press the Fortune Play button to the left of the reels.
The free spins feature is the only traditional bonus feature, which you can trigger by landing three or more scatters anywhere on the reels on the same spin. If you do this, you'll have snagged yourself 12 free spins. During free spins when Horus lands, he upgrades higher paying symbols to make them more valuable to you. To add more spins to the original amount you will need to land 1, 2 or 3 scatters during the feature.
The only odd part of Eye of Horus Fortune Play is that it costs more to play with the 4 grids in Fortune Play mode. Other slots online often will offer 4 grids but not ask for higher wages. However, this is the first slot we've seen that gives you the choice of switching from 1 to 4 grids and back to 1, thanks to Blueprint Gaming. Something about the free spins we liked was the ability to upgrade the symbols in value, while you won't play many slots that add extra spins for landing only 1 or 2 scatters during the feature.
