About John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin slot
John Hunter never stops. Pragmatic Play’s notorious adventurer has felt the urge to rediscover the ancient secrets of Tutankhamun’s tomb. All of this is familiar territory, although someone seems to have embarked on a renovation project.
Pragmatic Play have decided to take one of their best-selling online slot titles and give it a bit of an upgrade. If you are wondering how they can possibly improve such a perfect game, be prepared for a pleasant surprise. They’ve given the graphics a good overhaul, hence the sharper and shinier surroundings of the game, and they’ve also added some seriously sweet bonus features for you to enjoy as you forage for gold in this centuries-old resting place. Thankfully, however, they’ve stuck to the original game mechanics and 5x3 grid.
The pyramids themselves haven’t moved. They’re right where John Hunter left them. This means you’ll still find yourself in the middle of an amber-hued and hazy desert, with elaborate columns adorning the reels for a feeling of grandeur.
As we’ve mentioned, you’ll be playing on a spread-out 5x3 grid, with 10 fixed paylines determining your payouts. There’s a chance to land a maximum prize of 4000x, while the volatility remains high.
What to look out for in John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin
Everything about this game is grand and bombastic, including the elaborately designed symbols. The place is covered in gold, complementing the popular Egyptian theme.
The highest-paying symbol is the titular Book of Tut, which could get you 200x your bet with five of these on a payline. The other high payers are the protagonist John Hunter, the gilded bust of King Tut, a cat statue made of solid gold, and a jewel-encrusted scarab.
The lower-paying symbols in the game are represented by the top card symbols of 10, J, Q, K and A.
Wild and scatter symbols
The Book of Tut serves two functions in this online slot, acting as both the wild and scatter symbol. As a Wild, it can substitute for all other symbols to complete winning paylines. As a Scatter, three Books on the reels will activate the Free Spins Bonus Round.
Aside from the Book of Tut, there are no other special symbols in this game.

Special Features in John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin
There are two magnificent special features in John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin, as well as a Buy Feature that lets you purchase the Free Spins round and choose your Mystery Symbol. Here’s a breakdown of the bonuses:
Respin Feature
The Respin feature is an incredible addition to the game, and when it lands, it lands beautifully. You’ll see a banner at the top of the grid that will randomly transform into the Mystery symbol selector.
When a symbol is selected, the current spin must land three or more of them for the feature to be activated. The symbols will expand and cover their respective reels, and the remaining reels will respin. If you land another mystery symbol, this will also expand, and there will be another respin.
Once there are no more mystery symbols to be expanded, you’ll receive a payout. This feature is active throughout both the base game and the free spins bonus round.
Free Spins
As we’ve already mentioned, the Book of Tut symbol is also the scatter symbol here. Land three or more of these, and you’ll activate the Free Spins Bonus round. Three scatter symbols will get you 10 free spins, and prior to playing them, the spirit of Tutankhamun will select a mystery symbol from the Book of Tut. If you manage to land another three scatter symbols during the free spins, you’ll get another 10 free spins; there’s no limit to how many you can have in one session.
