Eye of Atum Slot Demo

How We Rate Slots

When it comes to rating slot games, we have built up a process with strict criteria to ensure that you are getting an informative, in-depth and transparent review.

As an expert reviewer, I follow a ten-step system to ensure that no stone is left unturned, playing each game in demo mode and for real money. The first stage is to look at the mechanics of the game. I look at things like special features and jackpots, particularly those that go above and beyond a generic offering.

After this, I take a look at the mathematical side of things, reviewing bet levels, the maximum win, RTP and the game volatility. I do this by playing through hundreds of spins to see how the slot works in practice, and whether the gameplay is smooth for the player.

The next step is to analyse the presentation of every game, which is a key but often overlooked part of reviewing slot games. Alongside the theme and its general feel, I assess how the graphics, animations and sound perform across all parts of the game, to judge how enjoyable the experience is for the player.

Finally, I will consider the developer, partly to build a picture of how each company is performing, but also to ensure that JohnSlots recommend games that give you a fair and safe experience online.

Pro Tips

Eye of Atum has a high volatility rating, so it’s important to be careful with your bet levels as the best wins are locked away in the bonus game. I recommend keeping your stakes low, that will buy you hundreds of rounds that will give you the best chance of activating the free spins.

You can still get solid payouts in the base game, but they’re not brilliant, meaning the auto play feature could be a useful ally, especially as there’s no bonus buy option. It can take a little while to hit the bonus round as you need a minimum of three scatter symbols to get there. Once you are there it’s possible to win free spins on top of the 12 you’re originally given.

Don’t forget that video slots like Eye of Atum run using a random number generator, meaning that the result of every spin is random and can’t be manipulated. Each spin is independent of the other, so ignore myths and strategies that you might have seen online and play for fun, not profit.

Eye of Atum Slot Bonus Features and Free Spins

The Ancient Egyptian theme of Eye of Atum revolves around the Egyptian sun god and takes place on a traditional grid consisting of five reels and three rows, with 10 paylines. To get a winning combination, symbols must match from left to right from the first reels.

There are low pay symbols of royal card symbols from J to A, while the high paying symbols are made up of Egyptian-style hieroglyphics. If you hit a five of a kind win with the lower symbols you will get a payout of 10x your stake, which will rise to between 20-50x if you hit the higher symbols.

On top of this, wilds that land on the middle reels (two, three and four) expand to cover all positions on that reel, completing any winning lines where they can.

I think this game is a perfect starting point for beginners, as it has a simple lay-out and is easy to understand. There are minimal special features, which we will outline for you below.

Wilds

The god Atum acts as the game’s expanding wild, landing on reels two, three and four. It has no payout value on its own, but it covers every position on the reel it lands on, standing in for other symbols (except scatters) to form wins.

Scatter Symbol

There are scatter symbols in Eye of Atum that act as the trigger for the free spins bonus round. You need to land 3-5 scatter symbols to trigger it, which also brings a payout of 2x, 20x or 500x your original bet.

Free Spins

Upon landing between three and five scatter symbols, you are taken to the free spins bonus round.

During the bonus game, the player is awarded 12 free spins alongside the initial payout mentioned above.

Like in the normal game, the wilds expand in the bonus feature, upgrading the lowest value high paying symbol on the reels to the next one up on the paytable. This is how you build towards triggering the 2,000x payout.

On top of this, you can earn free spins for hitting wilds, with one extra spin for one wild, three spins for two wilds and five spins for three wilds.

Unlike with other titles, it isn’t possible to pay for this feature, instead, it requires three or more scatter symbols to trigger it.

Eye of Atum Slot Design and Visuals

The general feel of this slot game is that it’s a perfect entry into this world for beginners, meaning that there’s a familiar feel to Eye of Atum, even if slots aren’t really your thing.

The Ancient Egyptian style, while done well, is one that’s been fairly exhaustively used in slot games and I couldn’t shake the feeling that it has a similar feel to the Blueprint slot game, Eye of Horus. This essentially has the feel of a beta version of that game, though the graphics are detailed and the soundtrack isn’t jarring.

A particular highlight are the scatter symbols and the wilds, which sweep across the screen, building up to potential bonuses. When the free spins do arrive, everything is well explained, helping the player to get into the swing of things. The soundtrack is themed but fun and drum-based, with payouts being well received alongside specialised sounds!

How to Play Eye of Atum Slot

As I’ve mentioned across this review, one of Eye of Atum’s biggest selling points is its simplicity. However, if you haven’t played slots before, doing so for the first time can be confusing. With that in mind, I’ve put together a quick step-by-step guide for you below:

• Before you get started, make sure you read through the paytable to get an understanding of how much each symbol pays, and how the special feature works.
• Pick your ideal bet level. I recommend keeping your stakes low to begin with, to ensure lots of plays. You also get maximum opportunity to trigger the free spins bonus round.
• You can choose your level by clicking on the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons, with the range going from £0.1 to £100 a spin.
• Once you have set your stake, click on the spin button to get going. There is also the option to set up auto play (maximum of 100 spins). The auto function can be triggered to stop either after a win or when a bonus round begins.

Eye of Atum Slot Mobile Compatibility

I tried out Eye of Atum on my iPhone, using the Safari browser, and I felt the gameplay was great. The game runs well on a mobile device, thanks to the HTML5 framework embedded into the design. The graphics and gameplay were consistent throughout the play, and in all honesty, you can’t tell the difference between iPhone and desktop.

Ending Thoughts

All in all, I enjoyed playing Eye of Atum. It’s all about simplicity, featuring an easy-to-understand layout alongside some sleek graphics. The game is perfect for anyone who’s looking to get a feel for slot games, but it may be something of a disappointment for more experienced players.

The max win of 2,000x isn’t the most enticing, while the fact there is only one bonus round leads to fairly uninspiring gameplay in-between free spins.
