John Hunter and the Book of Tut Slot Review
As glorious and adventurous as he is, John Hunter is among the brightest stars in the online casino domain. To help players join his mind-blowing adventures, Pragmatic Play has created a whole series of slot machines featuring John. There are such amazing games as John Hunter and the Book of Mystery, The Tomb of the Scarab Queen and Da Vinci’s Treasure. This time, John under the sponsorship of Pragmatic Play, discovered the Book of Tut, a notebook once owned by one of the greatest Pharaohs of the Ancient Egypt, Tutankhamun or Tut also known as the Boy King. Among other things, this book may well lead a lucky player from South Africa from his favorite online casino right to a secret chamber in the desert up the Nile where Tut used to keep his treasury from being stolen. The treasure is intact and looks so rich and well-kept as if the King knew that one day some lucky player would come and get a grip on these riches including line wins of x5,000 the bet and scatter awards of x200 the total bet. Free spins may retrigger endlessly making fun endless. The slot machine is made affordable as it accepts bets starting from $0.01 per line. High rollers from South Africa will also be interested to play the game as they may bet up to $100 per spin. The game is available in online casinos which support bitcoin. It also found in mobile casinos as it performs well on Android, Windows and iOS mobile devices.Gameplay, symbols and awards
The game plays on 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols and 10 fixed paylines. To start the treasure quest, players have to select a bet within the range from $0.01 to $10 per line. There are nine regular symbols including five playing cards from 10 to A, a Golden Scarab, a golden statue of Bastet (a cat-like goddess), a golden Pharaoh’s Mask and John Hunter as the best paying icon.
Cards pay between x5 and x150 the line bet while artifacts offer wins from x5 to x2,000. John Hunter pays between x10 and x5,000 the line bet. All regular icons pay from left to right when at least 2 matching symbols land on a line (or 3 in case of playing cards). If the slot is played for real money, non-feature symbols can award $50 to $50,000 at max bet. These are the best awards the game can produce in the base play.
The famous Book of Tut is a double feature symbol. It is a scatter and a wild symbol at the same time. As a wild symbol, it does the job of any regular icon in any line combination and pays an award. As a scatter, it pays a hefty award and unlocks a bonus feature. Landing 3+ scatters pays x2, x20 or x200 the total bet or as much as $20,000 at the max bet. Besides, the same number of scatters triggers free spins designed in an incredibly exciting and generous way.
Free spins
The Book of Tut has an interesting record describing a spell that turns any icon into an expanding symbol. As soon as 3 or more Books appear, the spell works and chooses a random icon to transform. The chosen icon retains the status and functions of an expanding symbol for the duration of free spins which may be quite long because the game awards 10 extra FS every time 3+ Books hit the reels. There is no limit on retriggering so the slot machine and its amazing bonus feature are at the disposal of the luckiest players from South Africa for as long as their luck lasts.
There is an extra bonus attached to expanding symbols. To pay the award, they do not need to sit on paylines side by side starting from the leftmost reel and with no gaps between matching symbols. They pay out when landing in any position on any line and the win is calculated based on the number of symbols hosted on that line.
This solution improves the earning capacity of the slot machine considerably. It is further enhanced by the probability to have as many as 5 reels occupied by the expanding symbol entirely. This situation results in all 10 lines awarding a line win for a 5-icon combination of a respective regular symbol.
Given the bonus feature may retrigger without a limit, while expanding symbols pay anywhere on a line and all other non-feature symbols pay their usual awards, this is the best moment of the game that can earn a fortune to a lucky player.
Although the game has a single bonus feature, it is designed to produce chances for huge wins and as such it makes the slot a highly attractive entertainment in any online casino.
Summary
John Hunter and the Book of Tut is a video slot powered by Pragmatic Play, a 5-reel 10-line mobile-friendly slot machine accepting bets between $0.01 and $10 per line and awarding up to x5,000 the line bet. Retriggerable free spins play with an expanding symbol paying in any position.
