Treasure of Horus

Theme

For a long time, scientists and adventurers have been fascinated by the stories and legends of ancient Egypt. Excavations were done in the Sahara Desert and Nile valley have unearthed the most amazing castles, temples, and mesmerizing riches.

Iron Dog Studio was inspired by one of the ancient Egyptian deities, the mighty Horus. Players are welcome to enter the temple of this powerful God and try to find a hidden treasure.

With so many similar titles, let’s see if the developer was able to spice things up a little and make this one stand out.

In the background, …

… we see palm trees growing in the oasis located somewhere in the hot desert landscape. Also, this piece of heaven surrounded by the sea of sand is the place where magnificent Horus temple is located. Reels are set between 2 golden columns decorated with falcons and jewels.

The soundtrack …

… is following the theme perfectly and it makes the whole atmosphere even more immersive. The graphics are masterful with great animations and wonderful design.

Betting Options and Symbols

This release is played on 5 x 3 grid with 20 fixed paylines.

In order to start looking for the treasure, first, you need to set the bet. The minimum bet possible is 0.20 $ per spin but players can bet as high as 40 $ spin.

AND…

… What about the symbols?!

Well, as we’ve seen many times before, the low – value icons are standard J, Q, K, and A. Player needs at least 3 of them to form a winning combo but for the combination of 5, the prize won is between 40 and 125 coins.

The high – value icons are silver coins, khopesh – Egyptian sword, green cat and ankh – the symbol of life in ancient Egypt. The last one is also the highest paying one with 600 coins for the combination of 5 on the line. the rest of them will get you between 200 and 400 coins if you manage to land 5 on the line.

Special Features

When it comes to special features, players will not be disappointed.

The first thing to keep your eye on is the Scarab. This may be one ugly looking bug but it brings nice rewards. Randomly, scarab will fly across the screen, going from bottom …

… to the top of one or more reels. If they cross the position where they can complete a winning payline, they will drop Wild symbols. Wilds here, just like in pretty much every slot, will substitute for any symbol.

If the Anubis, God of the Dead, appears on the central reel, a player will enter the Anubis chamber and be rewarded 6 spins. Goddess Weret appearing during this additional round will move the player to the other chamber and trigger extra 6 spins.

AND…

… That’s not all!

In Weret round, landing a Horus icon on the 3^rd reel will bring you into Horus chamber. This round has 2 features. First one is the 5x multiplier and the second one is the appearance of Pharaoh aka the Scatter. Pharaoh is part of the paytable and will get you 100, 200 or 300 coins for landing 3, 4 or 5 of them.

Conclusion

Overall, the slot with stunning graphics and unique bonus games.

The way Wilds are applied is exceptional and special features like chambers of Anubis, Weret and Horus that offer spins and multipliers put this release high above the average in the ancient Egyptian niche of the slot world.
