Learn How to Place Your Bets
Before you can go in search of lost riches you’ll need to learn how to play the game:
- Using the +/- values will increase or decrease your stake. This will form the total bet which ranges from 20p to £100 per spin
- Hitting spin will set the reels in motion
- If you get tired of spinning the reels you may be able to use the Autoplay feature
- The Quickplay feature may also be available in some jurisdictions
Slot Features
As well as the cluster pays mechanic, you’ll also have five features and high paying symbols to boost your chances of winning. You can enjoy tumble wins, instant cash prizes, cursed wilds, free spins and a money collect feature.
Tumble Feature
The tumble feature is activated when you match at least 5 or more adjacent symbols. Once activated this causes the winning symbols to vanish from the reels and are then replaced with new symbols to give you extra chances to make winning combinations.
Cursed Wilds
Wild symbols appear on the reels but there are also cursed wilds which can appear randomly and will trigger the cursed wilds feature. This can make one of two things happen:
- A x2 multiplier is applied to the cursed wilds
- Random wilds are added to the grid
- More wilds = more winnings combinations!
Money Collect Feature
If you land the treasure hunt Money symbol and 1 or more Collect symbols you will trigger the money collect feature. You will then collect money symbols and if more than 1 appears, the Money symbols are collected again, for each symbol. There are 4 different Collect symbols as follows:
- Collect: Collects the values of all Money symbols
- Extra Credit Collect: The value is added to all Money symbols and collected
- Multiplier Collect: A multiplier applies to all Money symbols before it is collected
- Extra Drop Collect: Extra Money symbols are added to the grid
Free Spins
You will need to land 3 or more John Hunter scatter symbols to trigger the free spins rounds, which can land anywhere on the grid. You will initially be awarded with 12 free spins but 3 or more scatters can award an additional 5 free spins and there are absolutely no limits!
Both the Money and Collect symbols appear during the feature but the value of the Money symbols are added to a bonus pot. Once your free spins are finished you will need to spin a wheel, if it stops on a winning slice the bonus pot is yours.
There is also a Bonus Buy feature which is only available in some jurisdictions.
Summary
For starters, this game has a decent 96.51% RTP but it’s what we’d expect from this provider. It’s also another high variance release for Pragmatic and the big beefy wins will tend to come from the bonus feature rather than base game spins. The maximum win exposure has been capped to 5,000x per spin or free spin which may not seem that high but the game can dish out some nice wins.
They’ve rammed a greedy five features into it, sometimes too many features can be overwhelming but it looks like Pragmatic has pulled this one off!
John Hunter and the Quest for Bermuda Riches is a slot from Pragmatic Play game provider that has been around for a while now. To be honest, I've tried the game just a few times here and there, also in some tournaments, but never really had much luck with it. In one of my recent sessions I decided to give it a go and explore it further.
When it comes to the game theme, if you're familiar withPragmatic slots and their John Hunter, in this slot the famous character goes on an adventure to Bermuda to find treasures. The game has a 7x7 layout and the minimum bets go as low as 20 cents. In the base game there's a few things to look forward to- wild symbols and cash coin symbols. To land a winning combination, you need to get at least a cluster of 5 matching symbols. Then the winning combination cascades and new symbols land in their place. To be honest, it's difficult to land any big base game wins, unless you get the cash symbols. In the base game you can land different cash coin symbols - however, for them to be credited, you also need to land a "collect" symbol. You can also land different collect symbols, like multiplier collect, extra drop and others. Just because of those I've had some 30x-50x base game wins, otherwise those are hard to achieve.
Other than that, there's also a free spins bonus round. You can trigger it by landing 3 or more scatters or by buying the feature for 100x your bet. For that you get 12 free spins- the free spins are played just like base game, however, all the cash symbols that land in the free spins, are put in a separate pot and once your free spins are over, you get to spin a simple gamble wheel where either you will win the accumulated cash prize or end the bonus just with your free spins winnings. I think only once I've won the cash pot amount, usually it's a loss.
Overall I'm not a huge fan of this game. I think that the mechanics are quite interesting with the cash symbols, extra drops, multipliers and so on. But to get any big wins, you really need some luck. My best win has been around 200x bet but on average I've had free spins winnings of 30x-50x.
