Eye of the Storm Slot Review

Eye of the Storm: Slot Overview

Eye of the Storm is a Reel Kingdom slot released through Pragmatic Play, running on a very traditional 5 reel, 3 row grid with 10 fixed paylines. The theme is Ancient Egypt, but instead of the usual bright sunshine you get a brooding sky, dark clouds and lightning over temples and pyramids. It is very clearly modelled on the classic Eye of Horus format, only with sharper graphics and a far heavier, stormy mood.

From the first few spins Eye of the Storm feels like a cabinet game moved online, with simple controls and a steady reel pace. Stakes start at 10 pence a spin and go right up to 250 per spin, so it covers small sessions and serious high rolling. Wins pay from the leftmost reel, and the whole base game really revolves around catching that expanding wild on the middle reels.

Max win, RTP and Information for the slot Eye of the Storm

On the numbers side Eye of the Storm comes with a headline RTP of 96.71 percent on the top setting, which is strong for a simple 10 line game. Volatility is rated high and it feels that way in practice, with stretches where very little lands, followed by bursts when the feature behaves. Official documentation quotes a theoretical maximum of 10,000 times stake, although in long play I have never seen anything close.

In testing and real play the hit rate can feel punishing, especially if you chase the bonus too hard at higher bets. I treat Eye of the Storm as a medium to long session slot, dropping the stake if spins run cold so I can sit through the dry spells. When the free spins arrive in a reasonable rhythm, the game can claw back a balance quickly through stacked high value symbols.

Many winning combinations are created through the expanding wilds in Eye of the Storm

Visually Eye of the Storm is one of the better looking takes on this Egyptian setup, with tall stone pillars framing the reels and pyramids fading into a stormy horizon. The lower value symbols are the J, Q, K and A card ranks, while picture symbols show folding fans, ankhs, scarabs, falcons, cats and the Horus eye. The audio sticks to short bleeps and Egyptian style stings on wins, so the focus stays on the spinning rather than a long soundtrack.

The wild symbol in Eye of the Storm is a warrior or priestess figure who lands only on reels two, three and four. When she helps to form at least one winning line, she expands to cover the full reel, turning it fully wild. On a good spin those expanding wilds can appear on more than one middle reel at once, which is where a lot of those heavy base game hits come from.

You can get many free spins in Eye of the Storm

In Eye of the Storm the main feature is a classic pyramid scatter triggered free spins round. Land three, four or five scatters in a single spin and you are awarded 12 free spins, plus an upfront cash prize of 2, 20 or 50 times your total bet. You keep the same 5 by 3 layout and 10 lines, but a level meter above the reels tracks how far you move through the upgrade stages.

During free spins the expanding wilds gain extra weight. Every time one appears, it still expands where possible, but it also moves you up the level ladder and adds more spins. One wild in view gives a single extra spin and raises you one level, two wilds award three spins and push you two levels, while a full trio brings five extra spins and jumps you three levels in one go.

Each step on the ladder upgrades one premium symbol into the next higher one, so fans turn into ankhs, then ankhs into scarabs, scarabs into falcons, falcons into cats and finally cats into the top paying eye symbol. By the time you reach the last stage the only picture symbol left is that eye, which can produce strong line hits. Extra scatters can retrigger the feature as well, repeating the 12 spin package while you hold your current level.

Eye of the Storm Symbols and Paytable

The paytable in Eye of the Storm mirrors the old Horus build quite closely. The low J to A ranks pay up to 10 times stake for a full line, while fans and ankhs reach 20 times. Scarabs push that to 25 times, the falcon pays 30 times and the cat 40 times. The Horus eye tops the table on 50 times stake for five on a line. Pyramid scatters pay up to 50 times total bet and trigger the bonus, while the expanding heroine acts as a non paying wild.

Eye of the Storm: Slot Verdict

For me Eye of the Storm sits in that space where it does nothing new, yet still draws me back when I want a straight Egyptian grind with proper bonus potential. The symbol upgrade mechanic during free spins can be thrilling when wilds drop in clumps, and the higher RTP setting helps on longer sessions. If you already enjoy that style of ten line slot and can handle the swings, this is an easy one to spin for a while.
