Wings of Horus

Wings of Horus is a Hacksaw Gaming slot centered on symbol upgrades, Orb effects and two free-spin bonuses. Its documented rules cover a substituting Wild, Moon and Sun Orbs, a special HORUS formation, and progression bars that shape the final drop of each bonus.

The playable demo is particularly useful for following the Orb replacements and the interaction between the golden and purple progression bars. These mechanics account for the slot's most distinctive sequences.

The Wild symbol substitutes for every symbol listed in the paytable. It can also appear as the result of an Orb transformation.

When an Orb of the Moon lands, it selects every instance of one random symbol on the grid. The selected symbols and the Orb itself are then replaced by either a higher-paying symbol or a Wild.

The Orb of the Sun applies the same type of transformation to two random symbols instead of one. Every instance of both selected symbols, along with the Orb, is replaced by a higher-paying symbol or a Wild.

Sacred Scripture is activated through a specific arrangement of low symbols. If they spell HORUS horizontally across the grid, the game awards a cash payout equal to 500 times the current bet.

This is a formation-based event rather than an Orb effect. During demo play, it is worth checking the horizontal ordering of low symbols as well as watching for Moon and Sun transformations.

Revenge of the Pharaoh awards 10 free spins when at least three FS scatter symbols land at the same time in the base game.

Two progression bars appear outside the grid during the feature. The golden bar increases whenever a new win occurs. Each time it fills completely, the purple Orb bar advances by one level and the golden bar resets to zero.

The purple Orb bar starts at level 1. Before the final drop, it activates and places a corresponding number of Moon or Sun Orbs on the grid. No more than five Orbs can land together on this final drop.

Rise of the Falcon is triggered by landing at least four FS scatter symbols at the same time during the base game. It also begins with 10 free spins and otherwise follows the same progression mechanics as Revenge of the Pharaoh.

The key difference is its Head Start rule. The purple Orb progression bar begins at level 2 instead of level 1, giving the feature a higher starting level before further progress is added.

Both bonus features can award extra free spins when additional FS symbols land together. Two FS symbols award two extra spins, while three FS symbols award four extra spins.

These are the stated extra-spin awards to watch for in either Revenge of the Pharaoh or Rise of the Falcon.

Start by distinguishing the two Orb types. The Moon Orb targets every instance of one random symbol, while the Sun Orb targets every instance of two random symbols. In both cases, the Orb is included in the resulting upgrade.

During a bonus, track the golden bar after each new win and note when a completed golden bar adds a level to the purple bar. On the final drop, compare the filled purple levels with the number of Orbs placed on the grid, up to the stated maximum of five.

It is also worth scanning each grid for the horizontal HORUS formation. This separates the fixed 500x Sacred Scripture payout from the symbol transformations and progression mechanics.

Wings of Horus is defined by three documented elements: one-symbol and two-symbol Orb conversions, a horizontal HORUS formation paying 500x the current bet, and two 10-spin bonuses with different trigger requirements.

Revenge of the Pharaoh starts its purple progression at level 1 after at least three FS scatters. Rise of the Falcon requires at least four FS scatters and starts at level 2. In both features, wins build progression, additional FS symbols can extend the round, and the purple bar determines the Orb count on the final drop.
