Ancient Egypt is one of the most overworked slot themes out there, but every now and then, a game comes along that leans so far into the classic formula it somehow feels right at home. That’s exactly the territory Temple of Iris occupies. Developed by Eyecon, this slot brings us the world of pyramids, priestesses, and scarabs without any bells and whistles — just pure, unpolished Egyptian nostalgia.
Visually, you’re looking at a fairly basic setup — static pyramids under an orange sky, some traditional symbols scattered across the reels, and the kind of straightforward audio you’d expect from an older Eyecon release. The focus here is less on visuals and more on gameplay, which sticks to a tried-and-true formula.
In terms of layout, Temple of Iris uses a 5x3 grid with 25 adjustable paylines. That’s paired with a minimum bet of 0.01 per line, making it easy to customise your stake. There’s also a handy Auto Play option if you prefer to let the reels run.
As for Eyecon itself, they’ve built quite the catalogue of games over the years, with titles like Fluffy Favourites, Shaman’s Dream, and Beat the Bobbies all being part of their lineup. Temple of Iris fits neatly alongside those classics — straightforward, feature-focused, and light on visual frills.

If you’ve played an Eyecon slot before, the paytable will feel instantly familiar. Symbols are split between lower-value card ranks and higher-value themed icons, all tied into the Egyptian aesthetic. Here’s a look at the symbol payouts for landing 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols on a payline:
Symbol | Payout for 3, 4, and 5 of a kind |
9 | 5x, 15x, 100x |
10 | 5x, 15x, 100x |
J | 5x, 15x, 100x |
Q | 5x, 20x, 100x |
K | 10x, 25x, 125x |
A | 10x, 25x, 125x |
Ankh | 2x, 10x, 75x, 250x |
Bastet | 2x, 10x, 75x, 250x |
Serpent | 2x, 20x, 100x, 450x |
Eye of Horus | 2x, 25x, 150x, 950x |
Scarab | 2x, 25x, 150x, 950x |
Iris | 10x, 200x, 2000x, 9500x |
The Priestess acts as the wild and can stand in for any symbol except the scatter. Any win that includes a wild also gets doubled, adding a little extra potential to regular line hits. As a bonus, landing 5 wilds on a payline pays out the highest regular win in the game — a generous 9500x your line bet.
The Pyramid is the scatter, and it does double duty. Not only does it trigger the Free Spins bonus when three or more land, but it also pays out on its own — up to 450x your total stake for 5 in view.
The main bonus in Temple of Iris comes from the Free Spins round, triggered by landing 3 or more Pyramid scatters anywhere in view. Players can potentially receive 15 free spins, and during this round, all wins are tripled. What’s more, free spins can retrigger up to 15 times if more scatters land while the round is active, meaning the feature can potentially extend much further if luck’s on your side.
For those who enjoy a bit of risk, there’s also a Gamble option available after every win. This leads to a side game where you’re asked to guess the colour of the next card — red or black. A correct guess doubles your win, while a wrong one sends you back to the base game empty-handed. This can be repeated up to five times in a row, or until the gamble reaches the game’s upper win cap.
For players who enjoy Temple of Iris, other slot games like Shaman's Dream Jackpot, Temple of Medusa, or Fluffy Favourites might also hit the mark. Temple of Iris might not break new ground, but for a straight-to-the-point Egyptian slot with classic gameplay, it does the job. All these slot titles can be found at Heart Bingo.
