On paper, Eye of Horus is a compact game: Blueprint Gaming released it in September 2016 with 5 reels, 3 rows, 10 paylines, a published RTP of 96.31% and high volatility. Its two features are an expanding Horus wild and free spins in which low symbols upgrade to better ones. OLBG lists the maximum win as 500x the bet, a figure we could not cross-check elsewhere.
For real-money play, Canadian law points you to your provincial site or, in Ontario and Alberta, a registered private operator. You need to be 19+ (18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec).

The Horus wild and symbol upgrades
The Horus symbol is an expanding wild: when it lands it grows to cover more of its reel and stands in for other symbols, which can complete more than one line. The free spins round adds symbol upgrades, where lower-paying symbols are replaced by better ones as the round goes on. The paytable states what triggers each upgrade and how many free spins you get.
Eye of Horus Megaways and Jackpot King
Many searches combine the name with Megaways or Jackpot King. These are separate builds of the game. Eye of Horus Megaways uses a variable reel engine and has its own page: see our Eye of Horus Megaways review. Jackpot King versions carry a jackpot feature on top of the base game; our research did not confirm their RTP or jackpot rules, so check the info screen. For progressive titles in general, see jackpot slots.
What 96.31% means here
The published return is in line with modern averages, but operators can run lower settings, and jackpot builds have their own figures. The paytable shows the RTP of the version in front of you. Compare it with the figures on our high RTP slots page.
Free play, demo and no deposit spins
We could not confirm an official Blueprint demo for Eye of Horus, and free play copies elsewhere may not match the real-money RTP. Eye of Horus free spins with no deposit are casino promotions with their own terms; the in-game free spins round is part of the game itself and is explained in the paytable. Read our free spins guide before claiming an offer, and note that bonus buy is not confirmed for the standard game.
Which Eye of Horus build a Canadian lobby shows
We have not confirmed which regulated lobbies carry it. Search at OLG, PlayNow, Espacejeux, Atlantic Lottery or a registered Ontario or Alberta operator and check which build you open. Tools to limit spending are listed on our responsible gambling page.
