Eye of Horus Gold Spins Megaways, reviewed: a 10,100x ceiling on a 94% floor
Blueprint's newest Eye of Horus pins cleanly: the series skeleton, the Megaways engine, and one new organ in the Golden Horus. The published ceiling is 10,100x. The published RTP band tops out at 94%, and the lobby tile will not say which rung you are on.
Some genera are pinned by their maths. This one is pinned by its wallpaper. Ankhs, scarabs, Anubis, a gold-rimmed eye: the Eye of Horus line has worn the same plumage for long enough that the interesting question is never what a new specimen looks like, but which organ has been swapped since the last one. Blueprint Gaming’s newest, dated 3 September 2026 in the specification box of Bigwinboard’s review, files under the Megaways family, the Eye of Horus genus, and carries exactly one new organ. It is a good one. It arrives attached to a label that spends most of the goodwill.
The label
Classification
The skeleton is inherited and nobody is pretending otherwise. Six reels, up to five symbols apiece, the ways arithmetic running to 15,625 at full extension. Three or more Scatters open the free spins, and inside them the Horus Wild does its usual job: each one that lands upgrades the lowest-paying symbol on the win meter to the next in the sequence. Play long enough and the paytable eats itself from the bottom up. A legible mechanic, which is why Blueprint keeps mounting new bodywork on it.
The increment is the Golden Horus. Per the review coverage it performs the same upgrade as the ordinary Wild and additionally banks a Gold Spin; up to five can be collected in a bonus, and they run once the regular free spins have finished, on reels carrying only the higher-value symbols. That is a structural addition rather than a re-skin — a second, shorter feature nested behind the first. Whether it justifies another entry is a separate question. Bigwinboard’s answer is no: it scores the game 5 out of 10, “Mixed or average”, on the grounds that the franchise has been stretched remarkably far.
The Power Play question
There is also a Power Play option at 5x the normal stake, which replaces the base game with a reel set containing only blank positions and Scatters. Call it what it is: a bonus chase with the base game deleted, sold as a mode rather than a purchase. The distinction matters, because British stake furniture attaches to the spin, and a mode costing five times a spin is doing arithmetic the lobby tile does not show. What a GB build carries, if it carries this at all, is a question for the game-information panel — this archive could not confirm the title’s availability at any GB-licensed site, and does not assume it.
Where the ceiling lives
A published 10,100x is a rules statement, not a forecast. Read against the rest of the placard it behaves itself: volatility at the top of the published scale, free spins arriving roughly once in 120 spins per the spec box, and a ceiling needing the upgrade ladder and the banked Gold Spins in one bonus. Bigwinboard calls it a considerably more appealing ceiling than some previous entries in the series — an improvement on the genus, not a claim about the catalogue. Set a clock before you set a target. A fixed stretch, ended when it ends, is the only part of this machine you control.
The four-rung ladder
The placard read aloud, unflattering half included: Blueprint publishes RTP configurations for this title ranging from 90% to a maximum of 94%. The top rung sits below what the modern GB shelf treats as ordinary, the bottom is four points below that again, and nothing in the published material we could read says which you were handed. We made the same observation about a Hacksaw label a week ago, and the shape of the problem has not changed: the configuration set is a supplier decision, the panel is the only place it is disclosed, and every number quoted anywhere outside it describes the species rather than the specimen in front of you.
Both columns of the ledger
Verdict
Pinned, the specimen is honest enough about what it is. The Gold Spin is a proper addition, cleanly nested, the sort of thing a studio does when it still cares about a line. The trouble is that the most consequential number is not the 10,100x on the front but the 94% on the back, and only one of the two appears anywhere near the artwork. 18+, and if the clock you set runs out before the bonus does, that is the clock working.
