Theme and Graphics

Pragmatic Play’s resident explorer is at it again, as John Hunter seeks out the Book of Tut. Previously, he went on expeditions to find Da Vinci’s Treasure and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen , and he’s back it. When does this guy rest?

The game is set out in the Egyptian desert, with reels surrounded by sand dunes and pyramids. The game has a lovely golden glow to it, and the symbols include all sorts of motifs that you’d expect to see in Ancient Egyptian slots like tombs, golden scarabs and cat statues. It’s not the most original theme, but it’s a good-looking game.

Book of Tut RTP and Variance

The RTP (return to player) of John Hunter and the Book of Tut is 96.5%. It’s also a high volatility slot, which provides a top prize of 5000x your wager.

How to Win

When you land three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, you’ll land winning combinations. John Hunter himself is the most generous symbol in the game, providing a payout worth 500x your stake for a five-of-a-kind win. Then, the sarcophagus offers up the next top prize worth 200x.

The book symbol is both the scatter and the wild, which is something you don’t see very often in online slots. It also pays out its own prize worth 200x for five symbols.

Free Spins and Bonuses

Landing three or more of the symbols in John Hunter and the Book of Tut will trigger the free spins bonus. You’ll get 10 free spins and one symbol is randomly selected before the game begins.

During the bonus, wherever that special symbol appears, it will expand to fill the entire reel. You’ll receive a payout both before and after the expansion occurs – a lot like the bonus game in Book of Dead. The interesting thing about these payouts is that they are awarded for individual symbols – so, the stacks don’t have to appear on adjacent reels to pay. The bonus can also be retriggered with a further 3 scatters.

Overall Review

John Hunter and the Book of Tut is a pretty good slot, but it’s not anything super special. The gameplay is pretty standard, and there are much more interesting games in the series – as Aztec Treasure offers up to 7776 ways to win and Scarab Queen has multipliers up to 25x.

However, there is still generous winning potential to be had in this slot. If you trigger the free spins bonus, you can land some really nice wins, thanks to the expanding symbols – and the bonus is actually not very hard to retrigger. So, while it might not be the most innovative game out there, it’s definitely entertaining and has what it takes to offer big wins.
