John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen review
John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen is a 5x3, 25-line Egyptian adventure built around money symbols. The reels are full of them, and Collect symbols interact with those values in several ways: increasing them, multiplying them, expanding them or triggering a respin.
Free spins continue the money-symbol theme, and the last respin of the round can award the combined value of every money symbol gathered during the feature, which is where the biggest results come from. The game advertises a 10,500x maximum. Its 96.5% RTP is Pragmatic Play's standard top setting. It is one of the earliest John Hunter titles and still one of the more inventive, because the collect symbols do more than simply add values together.
