Seth vs Horus Slot Review

It was one of the most anticipated fights of the decade: Mike Tyson versus Evander Holyfield, take 2. You see, the lisping slugger had taken a beating from Holyfield in 1996 and was keen to show that it was just a fluke. Except it wasn’t.

Holyfield was jabbing the cr*p out of his opponent when Iron Mike decided to gnaw on Evander’s ear, earning him an instant disqualification and the loss of his boxing license.

The Bite Fight, as it became known, generated $180 million in revenue. So, imagine the hype and the money to be made if 2 Egyptian gods decided to go toe-to-toe.

Well, imagine no more. This is Seth vs Horus slot from Mancala. Let’s get ready to ruuuuuumble!

Gameplay

In the red corner, we have Seth. This dog-faced deity was the god of the desert, foreign lands, thunderstorms, and earthquakes. His job was to protect the dead on their journey to the afterlife.

In the blue corner is Horus. This god of the sky with the head of a falcon was said to preside over wars.

If you’re wondering why these two clashed, it was over something a little more severe than a title belt. You see, Seth had murdered Horus’ papa, so revenge and a shot at the throne of Osiris were at stake (spoiler alert: Horus wins in the end).

Seth vs Horus slot is a cluster pays game, meaning you’ll need to match at least 5 symbols horizontally or vertically. Land a win and the winning symbols will be removed so that others can take their place (which means even more win opportunities).

This game rocks a 7x7-reel grid, an RTP of just 95% (boo), and a high volatility rate. The max win comes in at €194,600, which is okay, but not as generous a purse as I expected.

All forms of currency are accepted in this game, so you do you.

Features

Each deity has its own special symbols. Seth’s silver symbols take the form of an ankh and water, while Horus’ is gold, but I’m not even going to attempt to describe them as I don’t speak hieroglyphics.

When it comes to a clash between these symbols, the lowest-paying wins. If there’s any doubt as to the outcome, Horus will take precedence.

GOD FEATURES:

Seth: One of Horus’ symbols will be randomly chosen and when it does, it’ll turn into Seth’s lowest-paying symbol. Now, all of those transformed symbols will expand to form a big-ass cluster win.

Horus: One of Horus’ major symbols will be chosen randomly, and that bad boy will expand either 1x or 2x to form a winning cluster.

MULTIPLIERS:

Five multipliers can randomly appear on the reels with each spin during the Free Spins round. If a multiplier is included in a winning cluster, then your winnings will be doubled. And if there is more than 1 multiplier, then these will combine.

FREE SPINS:

Land 3 Scatters (you’ll see each symbol fill a spot on the winged meter above the grid) and you’ll score 7 Free Spins. Afterward, the Scatters will transform into Wilds, which is a nice touch.

WILDS:

These symbols (they’re bird-like things with a golden orb above their heads) can replace all symbols other than Scatters.

Performance

I rocked Seth vs Horus slot on my phone and laptop, and the gameplay was seamless and hassle-free in both instances.

I couldn’t pick up any differences between Safari and Chrome, so go right ahead and choose whichever browser you prefer. Just maybe not Internet Explorer because, well, it’s 2022 and we’re not running away from dinosaurs after all.

Maximum Win

I was hoping the championship bout between these two deities would yield a bit more than the €194,600 on offer, but it wasn’t to be.

Another thing that’s not ideal is that you’d need to bet at a sustained €200 a pop (the multiplier is only 973x) if you wanna stand a chance at winning. If that’s too rich for your blood, or you’re not too concerned with chasing big wins, then set your stake to €0.20 or higher.

Conclusion

Let me start with something positive – I like that Mancala went with a cluster pays set-up here. The Egyptian genre is already saturated, and they usually use normal paylines, so having a different approach does help to distinguish one game from another.

As with many cluster pay games, Seth vs Horus slot looks sweet on a mobile phone (and portrait mode is preferable to landscape).

I appreciate the whole battle of the gods thing, but the features aren’t exactly imaginative. Overall, I’d say the game is okay but that’s about it.
