John Hunter and the Book of Tut

John Hunter and the Book of Tut by Pragmatic Play sees the intrepid explorer John Hunt travelling to Egypt in search of treasure. All Foxy Bingo fans who are already familiar with the John Hunter online slots will know not to expect too much in the way of features. 

The Book of Tut is the same, with all the bonus action revolving around the Book symbol. But there's still a twist or two to gameplay to keep things fresh, and the graphics have been given a polish. 

The casino game itself is an excellent example of a classic slot with 5 reels, 3 rows, and only ten pay lines. This might not seem like very many ways to win, but that's made up for by the fact that landing just two matching premium symbols on adjacent reels on a payline is enough for you to get your furry little paws on a payout. The betting range is from 0.10 to 100.  

Any of me foxy fans who've played an Egyptian-themed slot will have a good idea of what to expect when it comes to symbols; card ranks 10, J, Q, K, and A as the lower paying symbols a scarab beetle, a golden cat, Tutankhamun, and John Hunter, the hero of the game and also the most valuable of the regular symbols.

The feature symbols or I should say, feature symbol, is where this game does things a bit differently. The Book of Tut is all-powerful as the key to the wealth of Ancient Egypt. When only one or two land, the Book acts as a Wild, helping form wins by standing in for other symbols.  

But when lucky foxes see three or more land, they get entry into the Free Spins bonus round, and a cash prize of up to 200 x the total bet for five!

3, 4, or 5 Book of Tut Scatters will award 10 Free Spins. But you still want to see as many Scatters as possible landing because they also award 2x, 20x, or 200x of the total bet for 3, 4 or 5, respectively. 

Before the round starts, one of the regular symbols is randomly selected to be an expanding symbol, growing to cover the entire reel when it lands. The Free Spins retrigger if three or more Scatters land on one spin, but this won’t change the expanding symbol.  

For fans of the series, the Book of Tut will not disappoint. John Hunter has never looked so good, and the expanding symbols in the Free Spins can lead to exciting moments. Just remember, treasure hunting doesn’t always bring rewards, so always set a loss limit before you start to play!
