- An interesting slot from Pragmatic Play with an Egyptian theme
- Unique reel layout allows you to unlock positions
- Potential to build up some impressive multipliers each spin
Gears of Horus slot is a new, ancient-Egyptian themed game from Pragmatic Play with some new mechanics that can work really nicely to add lots of wilds and a bonus with potential for some big multipliers. The design this game actually looks pretty cool thanks to the very large play area with different bits to unlock that I’ll discuss later. The main play area is 6×6 in size and as you’d expect from a grid this size, it uses cluster pays instead of pay lines. That means to get a win, you have to get a cluster of matching, adjacent symbols. The symbols you need to look out for are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Green Gem
- Purple Gem
- Blue Gem
- Red Gem
- Dog
- Eye
- Ankh
- Bird

Gears of Horus Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. This substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the scatter symbol and can appear on all reels.
Tumble. This mechanic means that all winning symbols are removed from the reels to allow new ones to fall in from above and replace the empty positions. If this generates new wins, then the process will repeat until there are no more wins. This all happens within the same spin. Additionally, the first 4 consecutive tumbles will expand the grid and unlock extra rows and columns around the grid.
Random Wilds. When you unlock all sides with tumbles, a block of wild symbols will be added to the screen in a random position with at least 2 wilds, put o a maximum of 16. These blocks can come in various sizes.
Free Spins Bonus. To trigger this you need to land 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols, giving you 8, 12 or 20 free spins, respectively. Each spin here has a base multiplier of 1x, and each tumble will increase the multiplier by 1x plus an extra 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x at random for the first 4 consecutive tumbles. The win multiplier does reset between each between, and you can get more spins by landing 3, 4 or 5 more scatters in the bonus.
Conclusion
Gears of Horus slot from Pragmatic Play is one of their more innovative games, standing out from the crowd with their expansion mechanic that works nicely with the tumbles. To enhance this further, it can lead to random wilds being added, up to an impressive 16 which can lead to some big wins. The free spins bonus is quite interesting too, allowing you to build up quite a few multipliers with each spin as you get more tumbles, but they do reset between each spin which is to be expected otherwise they would rack up far too quickly. With a maximum win potential of 10,000x, there’s quite a lot to like here and playing a game that’s different from the others is always fun so I’d recommend you give this one a go.
