John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen is a 2019 Pragmatic Play slot that sends the explorer into an Egyptian tomb. It plays on a 5x3 grid with 25 paylines, and its main idea is money symbols that a collect symbol on reel 5 pays out. Five types of collect symbol add extra twists. The top prize is listed at 10,500x your stake. It suits you if you like money collect games with medium volatility.
How does John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen work?
You play five reels and three rows with 25 paylines. The Scarab Queen wild substitutes for regular symbols on the three middle reels.
Money symbols with random cash values land on reels 1 to 4. When a collect symbol lands on reel 5, it pays the total of all money values on screen. There are five kinds of collect: a standard collect, one that adds extra credit to every money symbol, one that applies a random multiplier up to 25x, one that expands money symbols to fill the reels, and one that gives a respin with money symbols held.
What are the John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen bonus features?
Three pyramid scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 start 8 free spins, and retriggers are unlimited. Money symbols and collect features stay active, and every money value that lands is also added to a bonus pot.
When the free spins end, you get one final spin. A large scarab covers reels 1 to 4 and reel 5 spins again. If a collect symbol lands, you win the whole bonus pot. If it does not, the pot is lost, which makes that last spin the key moment of the round.
