Eye of the Storm

The main game takes place on a 5×3 field with 10 fixed lines. Combinations are counted from left to right, and most of the payouts go for classic Egyptian symbols: ankh, cats, scorpions, eagles, and pyramids. The Wild is an image of the goddess, and here it really can liven up the game: if it appears, it substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and can expand to the entire reel. At such moments, the entire screen literally "burns with gold" and often brings decent winnings.

The base game itself is not boring – the Wild can appear at any time, and the Scatter is not uncommon, so the bonus feature is activated quite often by Pragmatic standards.

The main feature of the slot is the Free Spins mode, which is triggered when three or more Scatter symbols (the eye of Horus) appear. At the start, the player receives 12 free spins, but the trick is that the bonus has a level system. Each time a Wild appears during Free Spins, it not only expands, but also increases the bonus level, revealing new symbols with larger payouts. where the potential grows with each step.

At high levels, cheap symbols are removed, only valuable ones remain - cats, eagles, pyramids and top ankhs. There is a feeling of progress, when each spin gives a chance to reach the next stage. In addition, when three Scatters appear, the bonus is extended, adding 12 more spins.

Everything in the game is designed in the Egyptian theme: ankh, cats, eagles, scorpions, pyramids and card symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10) spin on the reels.
The most valuable is the ankh, followed by an eagle and a cat. Wild (the goddess Isis) substitutes for all symbols except Scatter, and can stretch to the entire reel, especially in the bonus feature. Scatter is a symbol with the eye of Horus, which activates Free Spins.Combinations of card symbols give small winnings, keeping the balance, but top symbols are able to give out a serious payout with a good match.

The maximum win in Eye of the Storm is x5000 of the bet, which is typical for most Pragmatic Play games. To reach this value, you need to catch a full-screen of top symbols (ankh or pyramid) at the last level of the bonus, preferably with several Wilds on the screen.

Realistically, the slot gives good results even without the maximum - at the level of x300-x800 you can often catch, especially if the bonus has "spun" to high levels. But the volatility is high, and there are series of 50-70 spins without a tangible result, so you should be patient.

The graphics in Eye of the Storm are in the spirit of classic Pragmatic: no frills, but with nice details. The symbols look neat, and the background with a desert and a sandstorm creates the right mood. The music is disturbing and a little mystical, which works well for the atmosphere. The animations are smooth, especially the effect of the expanding Wild - it looks beautiful even if you play on your phone.

Eye of the Storm is suitable for those who love old-school Egyptian slots, but with a modern bonus. This slot is not about visuals, but about dynamics and excitement - when you wait for the Wild to raise the bonus level and change the entire screen. If you like the Book of Dead or John Hunter series, this slot will definitely not seem boring.

The RTP is 96.71%, but as usual with Pragmatic Play, the casino can lower the rate (to 95% or 94.5%). Volatility is high — wins come rarely, but they are tangible. It is better not to bet too large amounts on the spin and be prepared for "drawdowns". It is optimal to keep the bet within 1-2% of the total balance and play long sessions to catch the bonus.
