Is Hacksaw Getting Lazy with its Wings of Horus Slot?
Horus is basically the OG overlord, flexing his falcon head and eternal side-eye long before surveillance was a thing. This guy didn’t just “inherit the throne” – he practically fought a full-on Egyptian WrestleMania against his psycho uncle, Set, who, by the way, probably had issues beyond regular therapy. Horus got his eye ripped out in that fight, and instead of taking a hint, he just slapped on a magic prosthetic and kept on glaring like a true power-hungry maniac.
With a backstory that rivals The Real Housewives of Orange County, it’s no wonder that Hacksaw chose Horus as the lead of its new game, the Wings of Horus slot.”
Get ready to rumble!
The Wings of Horus slot features two orb symbols, each with a unique bonus feature. When the Orb of the Moon symbol lands, it picks a random symbol across the grid and upgrades all matching instances, including itself, to either a high-paying symbol or a wild. Meanwhile, the Orb of the Sun symbol cranks it up a notch, selecting two symbols to transform the same way.
If you have your eye on high-value rewards, the Sacred Scripture bonus is a must. When low-paying symbols align horizontally to spell out ‘HORUS,’ you snag an impressive 500x your bet!
The Revenge of the Pharaoh feature is triggered with three or more scatter symbols, kicking off 10 free spins and unveiling a progression mechanic on two bars. Each winning combination charges the golden bar; once filled, it boosts the purple Orb progression bar by a level, resetting the golden bar to start again. The feature reaches its peak on the final spin, where the level on the purple Orb bar determines how many Orbs appear on the reels, with a maximum of five dropping in to amplify the excitement.
And if you’re lucky enough to trigger the Rise of the Falcon free spins feature by landing four scatter symbols, you’ll unlock 10 free spins. The same dual-bar progression system applies here, but with an extra advantage—the purple Orb bar starts at level 2, letting you rack up Orbs faster and take full advantage of those bonus spins!
Is the Wings of Horus slot just another monochromatic visit to Ancient Egypt?
In Wings of Horus, players can place bets ranging from $0.10 to $20, with the potential for wins up to $300,000. The game features a maximum multiplier of 15,000x, offering significant payout opportunities. With medium to high volatility, players can expect occasional big wins and some consistent smaller wins. The slot features an RTP rating of 96.33%.
Wings of Horus, Hand of Anubis and Cursed Crypt. Three slots from Hacksaw that have very similar themes (all Egyptian mythology), graphics, and features. Now, don’t get me wrong, they all look fantastic and offer some incredible gameplay. Examined in isolation, each game is a ten out of ten. However, when you look at them one after another, it does seem that Hacksaw is getting a little lazy. And that’s sad because they’re very good at thinking outside the box with slots like Vending Machine, which is one of my all-time favorite slots. I expect so much from Hacksaw and its Wings of Horus slot has got me a little worried. I have the slot a seven out of ten.
Some of my other favourite Hacksaw slots include Immortal Desire, Time Spinners and 2 Wild 2 Die.
