How to Play
The symbols worth the least are represented in the standard J-A playing card format. There is a green serpent head wild, and a scatter in the form of an Aztecan dial. The latter will trigger the game's sole bonus feature, a free spin round that can also offer win multipliers.
One of the best things about this game is that there can be a different number of symbols and paylines on each spin. You could reach up to a whopping total of 7,776, which could work out quite well if you are fortunate. The adventure genre might contain a hefty number of titles, but this series has managed to stay head and shoulders above the rest thanks to its engaging gameplay and thematic qualities. So, let's dive straight in and see what this game has in store.
Slot Visuals
In terms of display, this is not the most innovative we've ever seen, but it's still more than satisfactory. The valuable symbols are thematically relevant, which is always a nice touch and fits nicely with the rest of the aesthetic.
Take the free spins round, for instance. When triggered, the dark tomb shown in the backdrop will explode with a fiery burst and become an illuminated chamber covered in gold. After this, a wheel will appear on the screen, which will decide how many spins you receive, which is styled as an Aztecan dial with gold prongs and a face carved into the centre. It is a well-designed animation that is thematically contextual, plus works with the bonus.
Bonus Feature
Free Spins
To trigger this bonus, you will have to land the Book of Mystery scatter symbol at least three times on the reels. You will then be given a random number of spins, which is determined by a wheel mechanic and is dependent on the number of scatters landed in the triggering spin. They are as follows:
- 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 will be awarded for three scatter symbols
- 10, 15, 20 or 25 will be awarded for four scatter symbols
- 15, 20 or 25 will be awarded for five scatter symbols
That isn't the end of the bonus though! A random multiplier will be in effect for the entirety of the round. The values are 2x, 3x, 5x, 7x or 10x, and can give a nice boost to your pay-out if you're fortunate. Additionally, landing more scatter symbols can yield even more spins, so could re-trigger the bonus for an even better win.
Our Verdict
John Hunter and the Aztec Treasure is very much a Pragmatic Play slot, showcasing the best of their world-building, game design and elaborate features. To start, the display has been crafted in great detail and exhibits multiple references to the overarching theme. While the free spins round is the only bonus, it is quite a comprehensive one. There is a healthy amount of variety attached to it, with multiple spin totals and potential multipliers to win. If you're alright with just the one feature, this game can provide a simple yet engaging slot experience.
