Hacksaw teases us in the Wings of Horus slot description that ‘a little revenge party never killed nobody… or did it?’ Well let’s see! In ancient Egypt Horus was the falcon-headed God of the sky, kingship and vengeance. He was also the ruler of Egypt and the son of the first pharaoh and queen, Isis and Osiris.

This Egyptian-themed slot has been given a unique Hacksaw makeover, featuring comic book-style graphics and a dark aesthetic with shades of black, grey, and a splash of purple thrown in for a modern edge. The base game showcases a menacing skeleton pharaoh wielding a large cobra, symbolising the protective power of snakes in ancient times, while Horus’s massive wings loom over the grid.

Triggering the 2 free spins features transports you to a majestic temple, where the radiant wings of Horus cast light over the reels, revealing regal hues of green and gold to contrast the darker base game. The music intensifies, amplifying the drama of the moment, and when a big win hits, a dazzling screen of illustrated turquoise lotus flowers appears.

The base game music mixes gentle Egyptian tunes with celestial sounds, enhancing the mystical atmosphere as the reels click into place. The grid is framed by towering pillars inscribed with hieroglyphics, and the symbols themselves are carved into stone. The highest-paying symbol is the Pharaoh with the pink gem, awarding 2.00x the bet for landing 5 matching symbols. Here are the symbol values to watch out for:

• H & O: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 x the bet
• R & U: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.2 or 0.4 x the bet
• S: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.2 or 0.5 x the bet
• Ankh: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.30, 0.50 0r 0.80 x the bet
• Eye of Ra: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.40, 0.60 or 1.00 x the bet
• Talisman with yellow gem: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.50, 0.70 or 1.20 x the bet
• Pharoah with purple gem: 3, 4 or 5 =0.80, 1.20 or 1.60 x the bet
• Pharoah with pink gem: 3, 4 or 5 = 1.00, 2.00 or  2.00 x the bet
• Wild: substitutes for all other symbols 
• FS scatter: 3+ triggers the free spins features
  
  

Wings of Horus Mobile

The Wings of Horus mobile slot uses the latest HTML5 technology, which means that you can be assured of a top mobile gaming experience whether you're using Android or iOS. It also works superbly on tablets and desktops. If you play on desktop, the recommended ratio is 16:9.

There are 5 bonus features as part of the Wings of Horus slot game. Orb symbols, Sacred Scripture and 2 free spins features Revenge of the Pharoah and Rise of the Falcon.

Orb symbols

• Orb of the moon: When the Orb of the Moon symbol lands on the grid, it will select all instances of a random symbol on the grid. It will then replace all of the selected symbols and itself with a higher-paying symbol or a Wild. 
• Orb of the Sun:  When the Orb of the Sun symbol lands on the grid, it will select all instances of 2 random symbols on the grid. It will then replace all the selected symbols and itself with a higher-paying symbol or a wild symbol.

Revenge of the Pharoah

Landing at least 3 FS scatter symbols triggers this feature which gives you 10 free spins. Two progression bars are displayed next to the grid. The value of the golden progression bar will increase every time there is a new win on the grid. Every time the golden progression bar is completely filled, the purple Orb progression bar will increase by one level. When the purple Orb progression bar has increased by one, the golden progression bar will reset to zero. 

Before the last drop of the bonus feature, the purple Orb progression bar will be activated. The number of levels that are filled in the purple Orb progression bar corresponds to the number of Orbs, either Orb of the Moon or Orb of the Sun, that will land on the final drop of the feature. A maximum of 5 Orbs can land on the grid at the same time.

During this bonus feature, the purple Orb progression bar will start at level 1. Landing additional FS symbols during the feature awards extra free spins: 2 FS symbols = 2 extra spins; 3 FS symbols = 4 extra spins. 

Rise of the Falcon

Trigger this feature by landing at least 4 FS scatter symbols and you are awarded with 10 free spins. This bonus feature has the same mechanics as Revenge of the Pharoah. However, unlike Revenge of the Pharoah,  the purple orb progression bar in this bonus game start at level 2. Landing additional FS symbols during the feature awards additional free spins: 2 FS symbols = 2 extra spins; 3 FS symbols = 4 extra spins. 

Sacred Scripture

If the low symbols land in formation to spell out ‘HORUS’ horizontally on the grid, you will be awarded a cash payout of 500 x your current bet.

Feature Buy

There are 4 options available for the feature buy if you're not based in the UK:

I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for Egyptian-themed slots, so Wings of Horus already had my attention. Sure, there are plenty of these games out there, but this one stands out with its distinctive shadowy style. Instead of the typical bright golds and turquoise, it’s dark and menacing—like a rural night sky untouched by light pollution.

The slot feels similar to Hacksaw's Hand of Anubis, another Egyptian god-themed game with a sinister twist. The eerie setting fits perfectly for Anubis, who is the god of the afterlife.  Hacksaw Gaming’s ability to create sleek, gothic slots is impressive, often reminding me of Gotham City with its comic book flair. Even small details, like the big win animations featuring illustrated lotus flowers, add to its originality.

Feature-wise, when testing the game there were more orbs then you could shake a stick at which was a pleasant surprise as these replace symbols with higher-paying symbols or a Wild. 

If the Scared Scripture feature triggers where it spells out ‘HORUS’ horizontally on the grid, it looks striking, but more importantly, it pays out of 500 x your bet.  The Free Spins are at the heart of the features and these are all about the Orb progression bar where wins get added to the bar and you see it grow to see how many orbs will land for the last free spin.

In terms of a max win, this game comes in joint third place of all Hacksaw games at 15,000x max win. This is  alongside other top games, including Rise of Ymir, 2 Wild 2 Die and Slayers Inc. The max win amount can be triggered in both the features and base game which is nifty. The RTP is decent at 96.33%, although other alternative options out there are below the 96% online average. A base game hit frequency rate of  33.79% is decent too.

With its unique design, engaging features, solid RTP, and massive max win potential, Wings of Horus earns a 4.5 out of 5 from me.
