EXTRA FEATURES OF THE RISE OF HORUS SLOT

Wild: The Wild is represented by a blue icon with golden designs. It appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and cannot substitute for the Scatter. It helps form more winning combinations by substituting for other standard icons.

Scatter and Respins: Scatter symbols activate Respins. During free games this symbol does not appear. When it appears on the third reel it increases the grid size by adding 2 more rows of symbols. During respins the second and fourth reels become illuminated and increase the chances of landing 2 more Scatters to activate respins. If only one more Scatter lands, the final respin is activated, where all reels will be illuminated. Each additional scatter that lands on the grid awards 1 extra freespin.

Random Event: During non-winning base spins, special events called Horus Gift may activate, replacing up to 3 minor symbols with Wild icons on the second, third and fourth reels.

Free Spins: Free spins are activated following respins. The number of Freespins won depends on how many scatter symbols landed on the illuminated reels. At the start of the feature, a random symbol is chosen, which will appear in blocks of three, occupying the entire column. During free spins the game grid expands to accommodate 7 rows of symbols and increases the paylines up to 16,807.

PROS AND CONS OF THE RISE OF HORUS SLOT

We liked Rise of Horus for several reasons, first and foremost the fact that a provider has finally decided, at least this time, to set aside the classic poker symbols. There is therefore greater attention to detail compared to other titles in terms of graphics and design. The sound is also very pleasant, greatly complementary and doesn't irritate with heavy or repetitive music. The betting range is more than satisfactory, as is the maximum possible win. The dynamics of random events also help add more excitement to the base gameplay.
