Eye of the Storm

Our recorded Eye of the Storm bonus

We have opened Eye of the Storm once on 4 Aug 2026 on stream and logged the result. The best of them paid 170.67× the bet. That is too few open to say anything about how the game behaves — it is a record of what happened on that occasion, nothing more.

Reel Kingdom, developing for Pragmatic Play, released Eye of the Storm in February 2021 as a reworking of the symbol-upgrade mechanic first seen in Merkur's Eye of Horus. The reskin trades that game's warm, sunlit Egypt for a stormier read on the same setting: pyramids and temples loom under dark, lightning-lit clouds rather than clear desert skies, giving the five-reel, ten-payline layout a heavier tone than most Egyptian-themed slots go for.

Winning combinations need three or more matching symbols connected from the first reel. J through A ranks form the low-paying tier, while the premium set draws on jackals, scarabs, birds, ankhs and folding fans below the top-paying Eye of Horus symbol, worth 20x to 50x the stake for a full line of five. A wild depicting a priestess-like figure appears only on reels two, three and four, but expands to cover the full reel whenever it completes a win.

Three or more pyramid scatters trigger free spins — 12 of them — and pay an instant 2x, 20x or 50x the stake depending on whether three, four or five scatters landed. The round's centrepiece is a symbol-upgrade system tied to the expanding wild: each time one, two or three wilds land during the bonus, they can expand and add one, three or five extra spins while pushing the game up a level. Every level bumps one of the low-value premiums into a higher one — fans become ankhs, ankhs become scarabs, scarabs become birds, birds become jackals — until the reels can fill almost entirely with the top-paying Eye of Horus symbol. Landing three more scatters mid-round retriggers the feature.

Pragmatic Play rates it 5 out of 5 for volatility, with the top prize reaching 10,000x the stake and a hit frequency near 1 in 10.42. RTP defaults to 96.71%, with 95.67% and 94.64% configurations also available, and stakes span 0.10 to 250 — a wide range for this style of game. The escalating symbol upgrades mean early spins in the bonus look ordinary, with the real separation from a typical round only showing once several wilds have expanded and the paytable has climbed a few levels.
