The Golden Tablet is the exact edition
Merkur Gaming’s product brochure names Eye of Horus — The Golden Tablet. The subtitle matters: the Eye of Horus family contains other releases, and a shared Egyptian theme does not establish identical rules. The documented feature combines pyramid scatters, expanding Horus symbols and picture-symbol upgrades. Those are three different functions on the screen, so it is useful to read them separately instead of treating every special symbol as a bonus trigger.
Pyramids and twelve free games
Three or more pyramid symbols start twelve free games in the described edition. Pyramids are the scatter trigger. Horus substitutes for other symbols except the pyramids, so an expanding Horus is not a replacement for a missing pyramid in that trigger count. During the feature, another qualifying set of pyramids can retrigger free games. A retrigger rule describes what happens when a condition occurs; it gives no timetable for when that condition will appear.
Expansion and picture-symbol upgrades
Horus can expand on reels two, three and four. The picture symbols are upgraded progressively during the feature. To interpret a result, identify the current symbol state before reading the final combination. An earlier picture value need not describe a later feature screen once an upgrade has occurred. The enlarged Horus and the upgraded regular symbols still have different roles: substitution on one side, the identity or value of paying symbols on the other.
A sequence to follow on the screen
Imagine a twelve-spin feature with a Horus symbol appearing on reel three. First follow the eligible reel expansion, then identify the picture symbols in their current upgraded state, and finally evaluate the resulting combinations. Do not count the expanded image as twelve separate awards or confuse the number of remaining spins with a multiplier. This is a hypothetical reading sequence, not a reproduction of a real result. Compare Book of Ra deluxe for a selected-symbol approach to reel expansion.
Configuration and Australian scope
The brochure is evidence for the named mechanics, not a universal RTP setting or an Australian online casino catalogue. The article consequently leaves the return percentage tied to the exact installed information panel. The RTP and volatility guide explains why that percentage cannot forecast a session. Country rules, operator availability and game design are separate questions; recognising a Merkur title does not settle the first two.
