John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin Slot Information

The game takes place in what we believe to be Egypt. We’re in the desert, but there’s a beautiful river flowing in the background, perhaps the Nile. Something we like is that the surroundings are alive. The clouds and the river are constantly moving. You don’t notice it too much, but if you were to turn it off, the game would suddenly feel a lot duller, so we appreciate the effort to prevent that. Pragmatic completes the setting with fitting symbols such as scarabs and pharaohs. Although, it would be cool to see providers deviate from the classic 10-A symbols more often because it doesn't necessarily fit in with the theme. However, they have become such an integral part of iGaming, so we will probably just have to accept that.

You can experience this game on any common mobile device or desktop. A winning combination is created by connecting 3 or more of a kind from left to right within the game’s lines.

As mentioned, the lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A. A full line with one of these pays 5x-10x the bet. The higher-paying symbols are a Scarab, Cat, Pharaoh, and John Hunter himself. 5 of a kind with one of these pays 30x-100x the bet. The game’s Scatter symbol is a book, which also works as a wild, substituting for all other symbols to help you make more connections. A full line with the book pays 200x the bet. Now, let’s take a look at the game’s awesome features!

John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin?

You can win up to 4000x the bet.

What features are available in the slot John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin?

The features are Mystery Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Respin, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Mystery Symbol

A mystery symbol can be randomly chosen during the base game. It is active for one spin, and the mystery symbols will expand vertically to cover all 3 positions on the reel. The game will then activate a re-spin which gives you a chance to land additional symbols. This feature is basically like a 1 spin version of the free spins.

Re-spin

The re-spin is activated every time you land 3 or more of the chosen mystery symbol, both in the base game and during free spins. It gives you a chance to land additional symbols for a higher payout. This feature is extremely helpful in your quest for big wins.

Free Spins

You trigger the Free Spins by landing 3 or more Scatter symbols. You will then get to choose which expanding symbol you want, which is a huge plus! This is a great feature we hope to see more of and that we’ve already seen in Book of Destiny. Perhaps you want to play it safe and choose one of the lower-paying symbols, or maybe you feel brave enough to choose John Hunter. You then need to land 3 or more of your chosen symbol, which activates the re-spin. The payout increases significantly if you land an extra symbol on a new reel, so the re-spin is very valuable. If you land 3 or more Scatters during Free Spins, you will be awarded an extra 10 spins. This can occur an infinite amount of times.

Bonus Buy

If you want to take advantage of the free spins feature right away, you can use the bonus buy feature. You pay 100X the bet and then the bonus game is activated.

John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin Slot Conclusion

John Hunter must’ve figured out time travel, considering how many different civilizations he has visited. However, he seems to be extra interested in ancient Egypt, and we don’t blame him; it’s a really cool setting. In this game, the theme is complemented by some great features. The features are not new per se, but most book games usually only have one of them, while this has them all. The only classic book feature it misses that would really complete the game is the one seen in Legacy of Dead, where you get an additional expanding symbol each time you retrigger the bonus. But let’s not be greedy.

One thing that this game does very well is the base game. The mystery symbol is an engaging feature that gives the base game just as much potential as the free spins. Many providers tend to overlook the base game, so we appreciate Pragmatic for spicing it up here.

As in most games, there are some downsides. The symbol values are lower than in John Hunter and the Book of Tut. Thus, the max win has also been lowered from 5000x to 4000x. Furthermore, to make up for the addition of random mystery symbols, it seems like they’ve made it a bit harder to trigger the free spins. So whether this is an upgrade from its predecessor or not is a matter of taste. If you like simple games without a bunch of features, perhaps the prequel is for you. But if you prefer games packed with features and base game potential, try out John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin!

John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin is an action-packed slot game where you travel to ancient Egypt to help John Hunter in his search for riches!
