Eye of the Storm slot is Pragmatic Play new addition that runs on 5 reels and 10 paylines. The game centers around the legacy we have left from Ancient Egypt. People say it’s usually the calm that comes before the storm, so let’s see if that proves true and to see how raging this storm can and will get. If you never got a chance to experience the sandstorm, here’s your opportunity, just be careful and head over to any Pragmatic Play Casino to play for real, or try it here for fun.
How to Play Eye of the Storm Slot
Set your bets and buckle up, there is a storm approaching on the horizon.
- Hit +/- buttons will take out a draw panel to help you manipulate your bets by increasing or decreasing either the total bet or the coin value and bet separately.
- Hit the Spin button to send the reels into spinning motion.
- Autoplay opens up a panel that lets you choose the number of automated spins and whether and when do you want them to end.
Slot Features
Queen is the Wild symbol in the game that can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. If there is a chance to help form a winning combo, Wild symbol will substitute for all the other symbols except the Scatter. If the opportunity shows up, the Wild can also expand vertically and cover the entire reel to accommodate the win combo.
The Pyramid is the Scatter symbol that can appear on all the reels, and with, at least, 3 Scatters on the same spin will get you into the bonus Free Spins round. On top of getting you into the bonus round the Scatters can form scatter wins that award x2, x20 and x50 your total bet.
Free Spins
When the Scatters trigger the round you will start off with 12 spins, and it’s a progressive feature that has 6 levels. During the round, each Wild that hits will add more spins and move you up by 1 level, if you hit 2 Wilds, you will get 3 spins and increase by 2 levels, and with 3 Wilds you will add yourself 5 spins and increase the levels by three. The round ends when there are no more spins left.
Summary
Eye of the Storm offers us a theme that has been chewed out so many times by different providers that it’s really hard to expect something new and innovative. The game is highly volatile but with a very low and disappointing win potential. So unless you are just a fan of Egypt-themed slot there is no much of a dreadful storm to look forward with this one.
A slot from Pragmatic Play and has an Egyptian theme with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 fixed paylines. The min bet is 0.10 per spin, making it one of the lower min-bet slots from Pragmatic. The max win cap is a great 10000x bet, giving that amazing potential.
The feature here with this Egyptian-themed slot has the usual 3 scatters or more to trigger and get 12 free spins to start with, while any wilds during the feature will give extra spins and upgrade the symbols too. The scatters to trigger the feature will award 50x, 20x, or 2x depending on how many you trigger with, but it’s hard enough to trigger it with 3 scatters.
I was having a go on the slot, but it wasn’t quite ready to pop the bonus feature, so I had to play the base game grind, and that is how it went before it chucked some base wins. I do think the close is very similar to the John Hunter and Mayan Gods but a change of theme.
The music, yes, the music is Egyptian, of course, and that means plenty of drums to listen to, while the sound effects for the reels are fine too; if you set the spin speed to turbo especially, you will get those sound effects hitting hard but not annoying.
The autoplay function is the same as always from Pragmatic, giving options to set the spin speed to normal, quick, or turbo, useful if you want to get as many spins done; then this is the way to go with up to 1000 spins on autoplay and as low as 10 spins.
I was playing around with the 94.64% RTP version of the slot, and I couldn’t find the 96.71% at my casinos, so I had to go with this lower RTP version this time, but in most cases I will strive to find the higher RTP versions, as generally they play better.
When the expanding wild lands on the reels but isn’t involved in any paylines, there should be no reason for it to do that expansion but it still does this is some kind of a tease. The slot happens to be missing bonus buy and ante bet options, which is a bit disappointing.
