In the base game, a random symbol may be chosen on any spin to become a special expanding symbol. If this symbol forms part of a winning combination after the initial payout, it expands to cover the entire reel, potentially leading to additional wins.
The free spins round is triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols, represented by the Book of Tut. Players are awarded 10 free spins to start, during which a special expanding symbol is guaranteed on each spin. Landing three or more scatters during the feature awards an additional 10 free spins.
The high-paying symbols in the game include John Hunter, the pharaoh, a cat statue, and scarab jewelry. Lower-paying symbols are represented by the standard 10, J, Q, K, and A royals. Wilds, which substitute for all symbols except the scatter, appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 only.
John Hunter and the Book of Tut Megaways is a highly volatile slot with an RTP ranging from 94.05% to 96.00%. The max win potential is capped at 10,000x the bet.
