Join treasure hunting archaeologist Dr Wild on a trek for lost Egyptian treasure in the Eye of Dead slot, a 5 reel, 10 payline game from Blueprint Gaming.  This quest centres on the hunt for the mysterious Eye of Anubis, aka the Eye of Dead. The main feature offering here is the Free Spins feature that begins with 12 free spins. During the free spins, look out for the scarab beetle. As well as adding more free spins to your total, it also upgrades the value of the higher value standard symbols. Activate Premium Play for more symbol upgrade possibilities.

The Eye of Dead slot is played on a 5 reel, 3 row, 10 payline machine. Landing 3 or more matching symbols or wilds on a payline from left to right, starting from reel 1 delivers a payout. 

Stake levels here start at 10p per spin. They can get as high as £10 per spin with Premium Play activated. We’ll look at this in detail in the bonus features section below. To adjust your stake, just click on the bubble to the left of the reels and pick a level. For autoplay, click on the arrows below the spin button. You can run between 10 and 100 autospins. There are options to set win and loss limits too.

Medium variance, the most you can win is 500 x your total stake per spin.

The bright glossy visuals in the Eye of Dead slot are just what we’ve come to expect from a release from Blueprint Gaming. With an ancient Egyptian theme, the setting here is a chamber in a pyramid. The visuals here are very bright, very colourful and very clear. The soundtrack is a generic bangs and bleeps affair which is rather unusual for a slot from this developer. 

Flanked by columns etched in hieroglyphs, the reels are made up of lower value A to J royals and 6 higher value symbols that relate to the Egyptian treasure hunt theme.  They include a scarab beetle, a canopic jar, a bird, the jackal god Anubis and a gold burial mask. 

The ‘I can’t believe it’s not Indiana Jones’ adventurer is the most rewarding standard symbol. Land 3, 4 or 5 of the Indy clone on a payline for an award of 10, 25 or 50 x stake. You can alter the combination of active symbols via Premium Play which we’ll examine in detail below.  There’s also a wild that expands to fill the whole reel whenever it lands. 

You can play Eye of Dead on all devices including smartphones, tablets and desktop or laptop computers. The simple gameplay and glossy design both work well on smaller screen devices.

Like many slots with the ancient Egyptian theme, the gameplay in Eye of Dead is relatively simple. The main feature is the Free Spins feature. Boosting your winning chances here is an expanding wild which also upgrades 1 of the higher value symbols whenever it lands. There’s also a Premium Play option for upgraded symbols. 

The magical book featuring the mysterious eye is the game’s scatter symbol. Land 3, 4 or 5 magical book scatters anywhere on the reels on the same spin and you’ll pocket an award equal to 2, 20 or 50 x your total stake. You’ll also activate the game’s Free Spins feature. 

Once triggered, you can look forward to 12 free spins. Land 1, 2 or 3 expanding wilds on the same free spin and it will add another 1, 3 or 5 free spins to your total. Each wild also upgrades 1 of the higher value symbols. All examples of that symbol are upgraded to the next most lucrative symbol. Your chances of landing a big cluster of higher value symbols increases and you upgrade more and more of the higher value symbols.

You can up your stake level and activate 4 different Premium Play levels. This upgrades the value of some of the higher value symbols in both the base game and the Free Spins feature. The Premium Play levels will set you back £1.50, £2, £5 or £10 per spin respectively.

Eye of Dead is set somewhere in an Egyptian temple of a tomb, with walls covered in numerous ornamental symbols and drawings. As for the music, there's no soundtrack at all.

With the highest level Premium Play bet chosen, there will only be only two highest-paying premiums available to land, alongside the low-pays, of course. Yet note that the Premium Play bets don't affect symbol values.

On the lower side, the pay symbols start with classic A-J royals, and next are six premiums, including in ascending order scarabs, jars, bird amulets, Anubis, pharaoh, and Dr. Wild himself. Individual values are decent, with lows awarding 10x the stake for 5-of-a-kind combinations, and premiums from 20x to 50x.

Even though Wild symbols don't have any own value, they're are surely the most desired symbols in the Eye of Dead slot. Whenever one lands anywhere on the grid during both the base and the bonus games, it expands to cover the respective reel entirely, substituting for all other regular symbols.

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols simultaneously during the base game will give 12 spins to start, as well as award a cash prize of 2x, 20x, and 50x respectively. The bonus game operates in the same way as the base game for the most part, though, a big difference is that Expanding Wild symbols now play even a bigger role. Whenever a Wild symbol lands, it upgrades premium symbols, plus when 1, 2, or 3 of them lands on a given spin, players will receive 1, 3, or 5 additional free spins.
