John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen

John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen, released in September 2019 by Pragmatic Play, is an online video slot that immerses players in a classic Egyptian adventure. The game features a standard 5-reel, 25-payline layout set against a backdrop of desert sands and imposing pyramids. Players join explorer John Hunter on his quest to uncover the secrets of the Scarab Queen's tomb, with the potential to unearth significant riches.

Bonus Features:

• Money Collect: This is the central bonus feature in John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen. During the base game, scarab symbols can land on reels 1 to 4. Each scarab symbol holds a random cash value. If a special Collect symbol lands on reel 5 in the same spin as a scarab symbol, one of several exciting effects can be triggered:
  • Collect: Simply collects all cash values from scarab symbols on the reels and awards the total sum.
  • Extra Collect: Adds its own value to all scarab symbols on the reels before awarding the total sum.
  • Multiplier Collect: Applies a random multiplier of up to 25x to the total value of all scarab symbols before payout.
  • Expanding Collect: Expands all scarab symbols vertically to cover the entire reel, potentially creating additional winning combinations.
  • Respin Collect: Awards a respin where all scarab symbols are locked in place. The remaining reels spin again, offering the chance to land additional scarab symbols and boost the potential payout.
• Free Spins: Landing three pyramid scatter symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 activates the Free Spins bonus. Players receive 8 free spins initially, with the opportunity to retrigger additional spins by landing more scatter symbols during the bonus round. Notably, both the Money Collect feature and all its variations remain active throughout Free Spins. Here's the exciting twist: the value of each scarab symbol that lands is collected in a bonus pot displayed in the top right corner. After all free spins are complete, a giant scarab symbol encompassing reels 1 to 4 appears for a final spin. If a Collect symbol lands on reel 5 during this spin, the entire bonus pot accumulated throughout the Free Spins round is awarded to the player.

Symbols:

The slot features a combination of lower-value playing card symbols (A, J, Q, K) and higher-value themed symbols. The higher-value symbols include leather bags, revolvers, the Egyptian god Anubis, and John Hunter himself. John Hunter is the most valuable symbol, awarding 32x the total bet for a five-of-a-kind combination.

• Wild Symbol: The Wild symbol in John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen is depicted by Cleopatra. She can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4, substituting for all other symbols (except Scatter and Collect symbols) to help players form winning combinations.
• Scatter Symbol: The Scatter symbol is represented by a pyramid. Landing three pyramid scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4 triggers the Free Spins bonus round.

Interesting Feature:

One of the most intriguing aspects of John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen is the final spin in the Free Spins round. The anticipation builds as players aim to land a Collect symbol on reel 5, potentially unlocking the accumulated value of all scarab symbols collected throughout the Free Spins. This feature offers the chance for a significant win, making the Free Spins round particularly exciting.
